If exercise, diet and lifestyle changes are not helping you to achieve your desired silhouette, these two treatments from Astute Medical Aesthetics & Laser Clinic may give your efforts a boost.
A sedentary lifestyle, long work hours, stress and declining metabolism can make it hard to reach your body goals.
For body-contouring help, Astute Medical Aesthetics & Laser Clinic’s medical director, Dr S Reddy, recommends Cool 4D and Ulfit.
A: This non-invasive body-sculpting treatment freezes fat cells, resulting in their natural death and elimination from the treatment area through the body’s natural metabolic processes.
A: Cool 4D’s 360-degree cooling technology evenly delivers a temperature of minus 9 deg C to the treatment area, offering better coverage than previous cooling technologies.
The applicator has two pairs of interchangeable cups in two variations: Flat for underarms and thighs; and Wing for abdomen, back and flanks. The two handpieces have separate settings, so you can treat two areas at once, saving time.
A: A gel pad is placed on the treatment area before the handpiece applies a suctioning effect. You will feel a cold sensation. The treatment takes 40-60min.
A: You should be able to resume normal activities immediately after, but the suctioning can cause bruising, which should subside in a week. Results vary, but patients could see reduced measurements in the treatment area in four to 12 weeks, even after one session. Treatments should be 30 days apart; how many you need depends on the thickness of the underlying fat in the treatment area.
A: It can reshape areas with bulges that are caused by underlying fat.
A: This body-contouring treatment uses highintensity ultrasound energy to break down and get rid of fat cells.
A: The machine’s circular-motion applicator delivers Macro Focused Circular Ultrasound technology over a wider area, resulting in a shorter treatment time. The relative speed and more extensive coverage can improve treatment results while minimising discomfort.
A: Ultrasound gel is applied before the applicator is moved over the treatment area.
A: You should be able to resume normal activities immediately after. Results vary, but you can expect gradual improvement over eight weeks as your body eliminates the broken-down fat cells. The number of sessions needed depends on your skin condition and age.
A: Decolletage, back, flanks, abdomen, inner thighs, and arms. Combine it with Cool 4D to help contour and firm the skin for a svelte silhouette with no loose angles.
