Non-Invasive Body Contouring
Treatments like surgical liposuction can certainly help to contour and smooth away fatty areas of the body, like the belly or thighs. They can also improve the tightness and appearance of the skin after a patient has built up excess skin tissue after a bout of major weight loss. However, these procedures cannot increase muscle size or strengthen the natural structure of your skin from deep within. This is where non-surgical body contouring alternatives can help.
Different patients will also have different body contouring goals and needs depending on their gender, weight, age and lifestyle factors. Here, we walk through the most frequently requested treatments for each gender, and why they have emerged as the most in-demand procedures:
Cavi-Lipo is one of the most advanced and efficient systems using Ultrasound Cavitation to breakdown fat cells. The released fat is then metabolized through the liver and released by natural means. This treatment takes 20-40 minutes and is great for people looking for fat reduction, cellulite reduction and skin tightening all-in-one treatment.
No Needle Fat Dissolve Some people consider liposuction to get rid of those last few pounds but going under the knife has its own risks. For those not excited about the prospect of surgery to clear away stubborn fat, there is still one more option: injection lipolysis, or fat dissolving injections.
It can seem like all your body wants to do is pack on the pounds but breaking down fat is something your digestive system does every day in your digestive system. To process the fats in the food you eat, your body produces bile acids such as cholic and chenodeoxycholic acid. Injection lipolysis uses a similar chemical, deoxycholic acid, to destroy fat cells found elsewhere in your body.
Fat melting injections work on the principle of applying the same process happening in your intestines to localized fat deposits elsewhere in your body. The two main treatments available are Kybella, which has FDA approval, and Aqualyx, which is not FDA-approved, but is available in many other countries throughout the world.
Since fat dissolving injections use a modified bile acid to destroy pockets of fat, the excess fat cells that are broken down, and the chemical used for the treatment can both be processed out through your lymphatic system. This is one of the limiting factors of the treatment, as there is a finite amount of fat your body can process out at any given time. For this reason, injection lipolysis is typically done in several rounds of shots.
How Long do Fat Dissolving Injections Last?
The effects of fat melting injections like Kybella or Aqualyx can be permanent for some people. If your body weight is stable and you are not putting on the pounds, it is unlikely your body will build back up fat stores that have been destroyed. If, on the other hand, you experience a significant weight gain after having your injections, there is a chance your body will store new fat in the treated area.
high-level laser designed to reduce body fat. It provides results without any pain or downtime associated with traditional liposuction. When the Laser Lipo paddles are placed on the skin, laser beams penetrates the skin just deep enough to reach the layers of fat (9-13mm). We offer both 3-D and 4-D high level laser treatments. The Laser Lipo procedure places laser pads on the body where the fat is being targeted. When the light hits the fat cells, a rapid chain of events takes place.
Think of this as the “fat burning” phase of your workout. First, pores form on the cells causing them to spill out. The water, Glycerol and fatty acids move into the interstitial space beneath the fatty layer in the skin. Then further water, fatty acids and Glycerol spill out. The adipocyte cells reduce in size. This disruption does not affect the neighboring structures such as the skin, blood vessels or nerves. The lymphatic system then removes the fat through the liver and kidneys, where they are processed in the same way as fatty foods, the rest is passed out in the urine. At the same time, the laser stimulates the lymphatic system and helps tighten the tissue and skin.
The primary benefit of a Laser Lipo treatment is the loss of inches. However, patients also notice that cellulite appearance improves, and their skin appears smoother and tighter after each treatment. This is an all-natural process triggering your body to perform a function that slows down due to lack of exercise and poor diet choices.

Since the nationwide lockdown, it has been extremely difficult to carry on with regular gym routines. EMSculpt has emerged as a fantastic alternative to help patients get their sculpted bodies back while improving muscle tone and definition. EMSculpt uses high-intensity electromagnetism to do this and contracts muscles thousands of times during one 30-minute session. This equates to 20,000 manual crunches or squats in a gym, giving patients the rapid ability to build up their muscle strength without having to lift any weights or take part in any exercise class. It is great for women who are in good shape already, but who want to take their look to the next level by improving their muscle tone and definition without surgery.
Ideal for: Gym-fit women who want to improve the tone and definition of their muscle groups, including the abs, calves and glutes.
Results: On average, patients can expect a 16% average increase in muscle mass and a 19% average reduction in fat at 2-4 weeks post-treatment.

PRESSOTHERAPY: THE BENEFITS OF COMBINING PRESSOTHERAPY WITH INFRA RED?
Our Pressotherapy machine also utilizes FAR infrared technology.
The infrared heating can dissolve fat and promote fat metabolism. The infrared also improves blood circulation and nutrition/oxygen transportation.
It is a dry sauna technique. After your treatment, the whole body will feel refreshed and energetic. The specificity of FAR infrared technology is that it doesn’t heat up the surface of the body. Instead, it heats up the inner body (FAT) that is 4 to 7 cm beneath the skin surface which is wonderful news as this is where the stubborn fat deposits and main blood vessels are located.
