Time-pressed individuals can now get a shapelier silhouette pronto, courtesy of devices by BTL Aesthetics, all of which are backed by cutting-edge technology.

With its state-of-the-art devices designed to sculpt and tone the body quickly, medical device manufacturer BTL Aesthetics makes it easy for even the busiest woman to look svelte. All you have to do is spare some time during your lunch hour.

TONE AND TIGHTEN

If you’re concerned about excess weight in areas such as the waist and thighs, a treatment that involves the FDA approved BTL Exilis Elite is exactly what you’re looking for.

This award-winning device* utilises focused radio-frequency energy to heat up the deeper layers of the skin, targeting fat cells and reportedly stimulating collagen production for a slimmer silhouette and firmer skin. Apparently, it does this without damaging the upper layers of the skin, thanks to a technology designed to cool the skin while radio frequencies are delivered to target areas.

Helping to ensure a comfortable temperature throughout the session is the ergonomically designed handheld applicator, which allows for precise heating and cooling as well as real-time monitoring of the temperature. A treatment involving the BTL Exilis Elite lasts roughly 30 minutes, and has a downtime of 15 to 30 minutes. For best results, two to four sessions, done once every seven to 14 days, are recommended.

CELLULITE, BEGONE

Battling stubborn cellulite and stretch marks? Try a treatment powered by the BTL X-Wave.

Harnessing the power of acoustic waves, the X-Wave targets subcutaneous fat and purportedly stimulates collagen production. It is also said to improve blood circulation and lymphatic drainage.

A BTL X-Wave-based treatment typically lasts about 20 minutes. After six to eight sessions, done two to three times a week, you can expect smoother, firmer skin. For best results, do it in conjunction with a treatment that involves the BTL Exilis Elite.

*BTL Exilis Elite bagged the title of Best Skin Tightening device at THE Aesthetic Awards 2012, hosted by THE Aesthetic Show; Best Body Shaping device at the Cozycot Woman’s Choice Awards 2012; and Best Skin Tightening Treatment or Product at MyFaceMyBody Awards 2013, 2014 and 2015.
