Some of my clients have lost 1-2lbs after a colonic, whereas others have lost between 6-7lbs. Colon hydrotherapy can also give you a flatter stomach, as it essentially cleanses the undigested food from your system. Just bear in mind that the weight you lose will be from waste only, not fat or cellulite.

Unfortunately, colonics are not covered by medical insurance. Some flex-spending healthcare plans do cover colon hydrotherapy. Check with your provider.

Colonic hydrotherapy is not an option for everyone. You're more likely to have complications if you have a condition, such as severe hemorrhoids; liver, kidney or heart disease; colorectal cancer; or colitis and some other gastrointestinal diseases.

In most cases, a patient should expect to undergo six (6) sessions if he or she wishes to cleanse the entire length of the colon.
