What is LPG?
LPG is an advanced treatment used to refine body contours through subdermal massage. This technology mobilises subcutaneous fat, and facilitates its natural drainage via the lymphatic system. It is particularly effective for addressing stubborn fat deposits in hard-to-reach areas, such as the abdomen, and localised cellulite, resulting in visibly firmer and smoother skin.
At Clínica Planas, LPG treatments are combined with sessions at our MedicalGym to accelerate the elimination of mobilised fat through physical exercise.

LPG Body Treatments
LPG body treatments focus on reducing volume and redefining the silhouette by targeting subcutaneous fat—the type most difficult to eliminate through exercise and diet. This treatment revitalises skin texture and targets cellulite, offering a natural path to visible results as an alternative to invasive procedures.
We enhance treatment effectiveness by incorporating an anti-inflammatory diet alongside a tailored exercise programme.
LPG works by lifting the skin and targeting the subcutaneous fat layer, mobilising it toward the underlying muscles. During post-treatment exercise, the contracting muscles draw on this mobilised fat for energy, which helps to facilitate its elimination.
Treatment Areas
Abdomen & Flanks
The abdomen and flanks represent two of the most frequent areas for subcutaneous fat accumulation, particularly among middle-aged women, influenced by hormonal, metabolic, and lifestyle factors. This superficial fat, situated directly beneath the skin, often proves resistant to traditional diet and exercise, leading to increased girth around the midsection while compromising both the silhouette and skin firmness.
LPG body treatments precisely target localised adipose tissue through mechanical subcutaneous stimulation, mobilising the fat to facilitate natural lymphatic drainage. By acting on this superficial layer of fat, LPG helps to:
1. Reduce abdominal volume
2. Define the waistline
3. Improve skin texture, which is often looser or affected by cellulite in this area.
It is essential to understand that LPG body treatment does not address visceral fat—the adipose tissue surrounding the internal organs. Nevertheless, when integrated with a balanced diet and a personalised exercise plan, it offers a holistic strategy for enhancing both body composition and metabolic health. We optimise this synergy at Clínica Planas by integrating LPG body treatments with guidance from our nutrition team and structured sessions at the MedicalGym.
Legs (Front & Back), Hips, and Inner Thighs
Subcutaneous fat frequently settles in the leg area, including the thighs, hips, and buttocks. This is particularly prevalent in young women, even in individuals with slender physiques.
LPG is exceptionally effective for these regions, as its mechanical action helps to mobilise stubborn fat deposits, improve circulation, and stimulate lymphatic drainage. This triple action:
1. Visibly smooths the skin
2. Reduces localised volume
3. Refines the silhouette across the hips and legs.
Most patients begin to notice a tangible improvement from the fourth or fifth session onward.
For best results, we recommend two sessions per week as part of a structured programme of 8 to 12 sessions, tailored to your individual needs. To further enhance your silhouette, LPG can be seamlessly combined with our complementary body treatments:
- Body Mesotherapy: Targeted infiltrations that facilitate the breakdown and disposal of fatty tissue.
- Cryolipolysis: An advanced cooling technique that targets and gradually eliminates fat cells; particularly effective for denser, more compact, or resistant areas.
Subscapular Back:
The subscapular region is frequently prone to localised adiposity that creates bulge’ effect, particularly where the bra fastens. Though these deposits may be small, they are notoriously difficult to target through diet and exercise alone.
LPG provides a targeted solution for this area, mobilising localised fat and enhancing tissue quality to create a visibly smoother, more refined torso. To achieve a perfectly harmonious contour across the mid and upper back, we often recommend treating this area alongside the flanks.
Each treatment protocol is strictly tailored to the patients’ unique anatomical characteristics and tissue densities.
LPG Facial Treatment
LPG facial treatment naturally awakens the skin’s production of collagen and elastin, improving texture and promoting lymphatic drainage. This gentle process reduces puffiness, eliminates toxins, and beautifully defines the facial contours. Unlike body contouring, the facial handpiece is delicately sized for muscular and lymphatic stimulation without intense suction.
It is a relaxing, pleasant experience that offers almost immediate rejuvenation without the need for invasive procedures.
LPG Facial Treatments
Under-Eye Area
LPG facial treatment is exceptionally effective for the delicate under-eye area, where it visibly reduces the fluid retention responsible for puffiness. Through a gentle mechanical massage that encourages lymphatic drainage, the treatment helps eliminate the toxins and excess fluid that often accumulate in this sensitive region. The result is a clearer, more rested appearance. Furthermore, by boosting local circulation, the skin appears more radiant, hydrated, and evenly toned. Patients often describe the results as an immediate ‘flash effect’.
Eyebrow Lift
LPG technology offers a refined, natural lifting effect for the brow area without the need for invasive procedures. By providing targeted mechanical stimulation to the tissue just above the eyebrow, the treatment gently activates the region to create a subtle lift. While not a substitute for a surgical facelift or thread lifting, it is an sophisticated alternative for anyone seeking a fresher, more open expression.
Facial Contour
LPG effectively achieves a more refined facial contour, enhancing skin elasticity and restoring a sense of overall firmness. By boosting microcirculation and draining excess fluid, the treatment addresses mild laxity and restores a more harmonious, youthful profile. LPG facial treatment serves as a sophisticated tool for
1. Revitalising the skin
2. Stimulating natural collagen production
3. Proactively maintaining the skin’s structural resilience.

What is LPG in aesthetic treatments?
LPG is a patented technology backed by over 30 years of clinical research. It is a cornerstone of any body contouring programme because of its ability to mechanically stimulate tissues without discomfort or side effects. Unlike other therapies, LPG does not emit heat or electromagnetic waves, and is thus a versatile treatment for all ages with no contraindications. It is a entirely physiological, natural, and non-invasive treatment. The treatment uses mechanical stimulation to help mobilise fat and improve skin quality.

How much does an LPG session cost?
The price per session is €95, but we do not offer individual sessions. We work with packages of 8 to 12 sessions to ensure visible and long-lasting results. At your first appointment, we provide a personal mesh body suit for hygiene and comfort. This specialised fabric allows the LPG device to glide seamlessly over the treatment area.
The first changes are usually noticeable between the fourth and fifth sessions. -
What’s the difference between INDIBA and LPG?
- INDIBA: radiofrequency-based treatment that targets the deeper layers of the skin and tissues. The controlled thermal energy stimulates microcirculation, boosts cellular oxygenation and encourages the body’s natural regenerative processes. This thermal effect helps to revitalise tissues, speed up muscle recovery and reduce inflammation, making it particularly suitable for aesthetic treatments, rehabilitation processes or addressing muscle or joint discomfort. It is ideal for patients seeking to improve skin quality or relieve tension and muscle stiffness.
- LPG: no radiofrequencies or heat. Instead, the technology relies on mechanical stimulation through a precise system of rollers and gentle suction applied to the skin’s surface. This subdermal massage promotes the mobilisation of subcutaneous fat, stimulates lymphatic drainage, and refines skin texture. The result is a visible reduction in cellulite and a more sculpted silhouette. LPG remains an ideal, pain-free, and non-invasive option for patients focused on body contouring.
