I have come across many clients who ask me about fat removal and they often confuse this with weightloss. Due to the many marketing ads all around us that offer"slimming" procedures, I find that many women are confused as to wether they want to loose weight or reduce fat. So I categorize clients like this: A. those who are overweight or obese with a BMI (Body Mass Index) of 27 an above. You will need to loose overall weight for a healthier and trimmer looking body. There will be excess fat here and there but it is no use thinking about them when over all you have excess fat including visceral fat. And B. those who are of normal body weight (BMI 25 and below) or just slightly overweight (BMI 25-27) and have certain areas of stubborn fat which do not seem to go away despite exercise or would like a trimmer, better silhuoette. For FAT REDUCTION on the spot , there are several methods to loose them. These can be minimally invasive or non invasive at all. The Non...

Recently a new device joined our family. It is called the X-Wave. What is X-Wave ? It is a device that transmits acoustic pulses. Acoustic pulses are extremely strong non-focused sound pulses that induce vibration within the body. The energy has been specially developed to avoid any skin damage while penetrating into the treatment area. What is X-Wave Therapy? Using the powerful energy of acoustic waves, it achieves the best results in non-invasive treatments of cellulite, scars and stretch marks.     What are the effects of X-Wave?   1. Increased blood flow supply - In cellulite, the capillary system is constrained by hypertrophic fat structures. X-Wave allows for growth of new capillaries which increases microcirculation, oxygen supply and metabolic rate in affected areas. 2. Waste Elimination - In cellulite, there is waste accumulation from waste product build-up that provokes alteration in connective tissue. By mechanical stimulation o...

Recently we had an old patient of mine, SL, a beautiful young model who has landed an acting job which required her to expose her arms and legs. So she wanted them sculpted to slimmer limbs but did not want to undergo any surgery. She wanted something effective and yet not invasive, with little downtime as she still had modeling shoots to go to, and does not require too many visits. I proposed to her Laserlipolisis using my favorite technology of all time - the Smartlipo Laserlipolisis. The Smartlipo laser is from Deka, a prominent laser company based in Florence, Italy. It uses the 1064nm wavelength which is sensitive to water and fat. By using this laser to melt the unwanted fat, turning it into oily discharge instead, making it easy to extract if desired through small incisions on the skin. This is the journey : The Patient SL is a young lady who is of normal weight with some areas of stubborn fat. She works as a model and actress and exposes these areas during work so...

Liposonix is the newest and latest equipment to hit the medical aesthetics market for non-surgical fat destruction. Using HIFU or High Intensity Focused Ultrasound technology, this treatment can reduce your circumference by 1 size in just 1 session! Father reduction can be achieved by repeating the treatment 2 months later. The ultrasound is "focused" onto the fat tissue to be treated. It penetrates upto 2inch deep. The focused beam then destroys the fat cell membrane allowing it to rupture and release the fat in melted form into surrounding. It does not affect the other surrounding tissue liek muscle or connective tissue. Once the fat cells are destroyed, it becomes waste product and thus will be eliminated by the body's immune system and lymphatics. Reduction ocuurs through the course of 2 to 8 weeks and offers upto 1 size or 4cm loss after 1 session. There is no downtime after although some people might experience a little bit of tenderness and sometimes some ...
