Prepping for a major event? Some extra help from body treatments can bring out a va-va-voom figure from top to toe
BUST
1 Ultherapy at The Dermacare Aesthetic & Laser Clinic
By using medical ultrasound technology, this treatment works to firm, tighten and lift skin below the surface without having any impact on the outer layers of skin. This FDA-approved, non-invasive treatment can be used on both the face and body, as well as to achieve a more lifted bustline.
2 Bust Therapy at Vedure MediSpa
Using micro-technology, this treatment aims to tone and lift the chest. It starts off with a nourishing cream massaged onto breasts, and is followed by the application of microcurrents which utilises your body’s “bio-electrical fields” to stimulate blood circulation for a firmer-looking bosom.
3 ADRC Breast Enhancer treatment at Amaris B. Clinic
This two-in-one treatment first removes excess fat from “problem” areas like your thighs or abdomen and transfers them onto your breasts. It also boasts a short recovery time compared to regular breast augmentation procedures.
4 LIFT CVS FOCUS TREATMENT at Chi, The Spa
Changes in our lifestyle can sometimes result in changes to our bodies. As our breasts are made up of fat and not muscle, sagging happens naturally. If a perkier bust is your goal, this procedure focuses on toning and firming with Lotion P50 exfoliation treatment using a body glove, followed by a massage.
ARMS
1 Stubbo rn Curves Solution at Clarins Spa
During this 60-minute treatment, you can choose to focus on up to two “problem” areas (such as the arms, thighs and waist) that are prone to flabbiness. For Michelle Obama-worthy arms, the therapist expertly kneads these areas with light but firm pressing motions to aid lymphatic drainage.
2 CoolSculpting by ZELT IQ at Astique
Developed by experts at Harvard Medical School, this treatment works by freezing your fat cells without compromising the healthy tissue around the area. Once frozen, your body recognises them as dead cells and works to naturally remove them from your system.
3 Lipomassage at LPG Endermospa Singapore
This programme utilises LPG Roll, a patented device, that helps to trigger your body to eliminate resistant fat naturally. During the treatment, it also encourages the stimulation of collagen and elastin production.
4 i-Lipo at The Aesthetics Clinic
Low levels of laser energy are used to send chemical signals that will help disintegrate fat cells. Unlike traditional liposuction procedures, this non-invasive treatment boasts minimal downtime and minimal discomfort.
LEGS
1 Cellulite by Thermage at The Sloane Clinic
As we age, our bodies are less effective in removing waste and toxins naturally. When this happens, fat and fluids are trapped deep within the skin, giving rise to the appearance of cellulite. Thermage uses radiofrequency to restore the elasticity of skin.
2 LipoCryo at Celevenus
At a freezing four degree celsius, Lipocryo causes an inflammatory response amongst fat cells. Over the course of a couple of treatments, the body works to flush out these dead cells. The result? Svelter looking gams.
3 Venus Legacy Medical-Grade Slimming at Cambridge Therapeutics
If you feel a gentle warming sensation, that’s the SMART Thermal RF and patented MP2 Magnetic Pulse technology that the Venus Legacy uses to target stubborn fat deep within skin. By using a series of algorithms, the modalities of radio frequency and magnetic field help safely and evenly distribute energy to the targeted areas.
4 JOURNEY TO THE EAST at Pürovel Spa & Sport
This top-to-toe treatment starts with a detoxifying Three Teas Purifying Body Wrap and is followed by a Lomi- Mae massage. The warm enveloping movements of this special massage help to ease muscle fatigue.
Trendspotting: The Sideboob
Our favourite celebs show that it’s not size that counts when rocking this steamy trend.
TUMMY
1 UltraShape Fat Blaster at ClearSK
This non-invasive treatment utilises ultrasound technology to break down fat cells, which are then transported via the lymphatic and vascular systems to the liver to be disposed of. It’s commonly used on the abdomen area or on love handles.
2 FatFreeze at Lush Aesthetics
Cooling plates are applied onto the selected area for about an hour with minimal to no discomfort. Research has shown that extreme temperatures actually target the fatty layer first, without doing any harm to surrounding tissue.
3 MERIDIAN THERAPY at Revive Wellness
Irregular menstrual cycle and flow? This aims to help boost the immunity of the womb and ovaries. Therapists employ techniques using the body’s meridian points to prevent premature ageing of the uterus. A side benefit? It also helps with slimming as well.
4 Acu -co ntour at One Farrer Hotel & Spa
After a consultation with the in-house TCM specialist using electro and ear acupuncture, you’ll undergo a slimming massage that uses Japanese cypress wood, and also learn how you can curb cravings and boost your metabolism.
HAIR REMOVAL
1 IPL Hair Removal at Porcelain Spa
Besides the obvious benefit of semi-permanent hair removal, the treatment can also help to brighten and refine your skin tone and texture, as well as prevent the future occurrence of ingrown hairs.
2 Hair Remov al Lasers at IDS Clinic
With treatments spaced approximately between four to 12 weeks apart, this is a long-term solution for hair removal. An hour before every treatment, an anesthetic cream will be applied to reduce any discomfort.
3 IPL Ac e at Strip
Unlike earlier incarnations of IPL treatments that liken the hair removal process to tiny ant bites, IPL Ace technology uses a gradual heating technology to permanently reduce hair growth as well as address concerns like broken capillaries and pigmentation.
4 Long Pulse ND:YAG at DRx Clinic
Say goodbye to messy shaving creams or bumpy skin. Laser hair removal is a quick and painless way to help reduce the appearance of unwanted hair on a long-term basis and is safe to use on your face, underarms, forearms and legs.
Cream of the crop
From gorgeous gowns to matchymatchy sets, baring a little bit of midriff goes a long way.
