| I am truly loving my No Lipo Lipo treatments. In fact, I am hooked!! I live nearby Carole's Redondo Beach spa so I will admit I go in regularly for treatments. But, I am now down to once a month. I also own the DVD and do the treatment on myself, but when I go into her spa, they are able to really dig in and break up the fatty "deposits" as Carole says! Honestly, they have taught me a few tricks. You should always use one hand on top of the other to increase the amount of pressure on the thighs or other areas while dry brushing and doing the deep knuckle massage treatment. Placing one hand on top of the other doesn't fatigue your arms as much either and it seems to make the strokes go a lot quicker. Also, amp up the number of strokes ... I do 60 on each area. My legs look so trim and cellulite free. I feel the once a month visit is so worth it...it kinda keeps me on track. But, the DVD really is a great tool for newbies to the program. I wouldn't trade my NLL for the world. I don't have much spare time to spend hours in the gym. With this program, I don't need to!!! My waist and tummy are trim and flat, my thighs have virtually no cellulite and are no longer jiggly. I just cannot say enough good things about this program!!! Btw, I am over 50!! ~ Dianek |

| Hi Diane! Thank you for those great tips! Do you do the massage and drybrushing everyday like Aprile does? |
Yes I do!! Although it sounds daunting, it really isn't all that bad if you split the sessions. I have noticed something amazing too... that by working on my legs using the dry brushing and knuckle treatment, my arms have become more toned. It's a great side effect! I love No Lipo Lipo... my friend recently tried some kind of laser treatment, spent a ton of money and saw little to no results. She was so disappointed! This is something I can do in the privacy of my own home to keep up with results. I would say now that I have the routine down pat, it takes me 15-17 minutes total time to do the entire dry brushing and massage treatment (60 per area). The reason I split it up is to give my arms a rest so that I can apply the most pressure possible....it works much better that way! HTH, Diane  |

Hi Toby-
I know you said before that your friend is mainly concentrating on her stomach area. Do you know if she is doing all of the stomach massages (I think there are 4 different techniques?), or just mainly doing the one with the knuckles where you massage upwards? I mainly do that one; that is the one closest to the massage you do on the rest of the body. |
Hi Ryan,
I disagree! I think all of the four different techniques are important to the process. For instance, I have no issues persay with my stomach area, but the skin does get lax with age. I have found the knuckle one digging in around the belly button area helps lift up the skin in that area. The one where you sort of hug your waist, makes the waist smaller. The one where you sort of pinch the skin should be done aggressively ... that should also help to flatten the stomach and eliminate any excess belly fat. All of these techniques work together to address this area.... Take care, Aprile |

I tend to do it 2-3 times a week but I also enjoy it.
In the beginning it was a bit of a workout I have to say, but I love how it feels and the oil massage is great but I did laugh as my dear hubby walked in on my doing it before my shower one morning and just rolled his eyes and shook his head LOL.

| For those who use this method for a long time. Once you achive your 'optimal' level - how often do you do NLL to keep the results? |

Well I always think if it feels good then its worthwhile doing. I also do the Ageless Body massage of Loulous that I love and is similar but different to NLL.
I don't know or care how it works - for me the results are proof enough. I wish I had a head for the science bits but they bore me frankly.
With the back of the legs, I really like using the back loofah strap to get them. I really find that thing easier on my arms and positioning. Sure its not the same as the strokes, which I do much slowly than the woman in the video does but it still works.

Thanks, Theresa, 2-3 times a week is doable... especially since I am seeing it more as a sport with the additional side-benefit to keep my arms toned!
I find NLL incredible. Considering that you somehow seem to loose 'fatty tissue' without dieting. I am still wondering how this works. Especially, as I never had results like this with all the sports I did and still am doing. And, I noticed my abs stay toned even when I am eating a bit more on a weekend.
The back part of the legs is really difficult for me to massage. Has anybody found a trick with that? This is probably where a treatment at Carole Maggio's spa is of benefit.
Without this forum and the inspiration here I would have never started it again... so thanks to all of you. |

100% yes and in a very short space of time.
My arms took on a toned look and bat wings were something I just figured I should live with.
Both my arms and legs showed very fast change and are remarkably different than when I started.
I do also use topical C though so thats worth mentioning. However the massage and dry brushing I did with NLL for a long time and got some wonderful changes. My arms and legs both weren't flabby but they had some excess fat and the bat wings description was definitely something my children had said to me.
I was doing it mostly for my stomach - because no matter how much little I eat, there was always fat there and I'm very pleased to report that this isn't the case any longer.

I watched the Fascia Blaster like a hawk when it first came out and was a member of the facebook group.
I noticed quite early on some people posting about adverse results and they never addressed it - so it scared the hell out of me from trying it.
I did post feedback suggesting that they should address those comments and they removed me from the group interestingly enough. Luckily I was friends with quite a few people on there - and it appears whenever the lack of responses was mentioned - that person got banned. So for me that was self evident that it wasn't a good device. You can also find many threads on EDS about it and not everyone gets great results. I think its a shame as if they answered those questions, I would really have bought it and given a go but the way they treated those posters with issues just scared me and I thought its not worth taking the risk, making things worse and having no help or support.

| I did buy the fasciablaster. I wasn't impressed, left horrible bruises and the negative issues did scare me. It sits under my cabinet in the bathroom, not in use. |

You bet! I wont lie, it wasn't easy and it was a bit painful for me but I have fibercystic tissue which can be sensitive.
I think the No Lipo is def the way to go if you are disciplined. |
