With the skinny look in fashion, there is a surge of several invasive and non-invasive procedures to get rid of the cellulite. Though it is tough to permanently get rid of the cellulite in the body, noninvasive methods used in laser clinics and spas have shown positive results. Velasmooth and Velashape are two such non surgical methods of reducing the body’s unwanted fat.

What is Velashape and how does it work?

Velashape uses electromagnetic waves in combination with infrared beam to massage the skin and eliminate the fat. These beams are used with a vacuum pressure to contour the cellulite concentrated areas of the body. There have been several positive outcomes within three to six sessions.

Velashape is a small handy machine similar to a hand vacuum cleaner. The physician uses it to vacuum contour the cellulite troubled region to eliminate the unwanted body fat. A benefit of this treatment is that there is little or no risk of any side effects. Moreover, the client would need a little time for recovery. While Velashape treatment is known to aid weight loss, Velasmooth is a little different.

What is Velasmooth and how it works?

Velasmooth uses similar technology like Velashape but there are a few minor differences between the two. Velasmooth uses electromagnetic radio waves along with optical energy to reshape the body. The cellulite concentrated areas are smoothened and contoured for a leaner look. The weight loss or leaner look is attributed to the higher metabolism boosted by Velasmooth.

The infrared and optical energy beams contour the body. These energy waves increase the amount of oxygen in the body’s cells using ELOS technology. This increased oxygen in the body causes higher metabolic rate which leads to reduced cellulite.

Other Weight Loss Products

Weight loss products and procedures are a booming industry today. The markets are filled with capsules, liquid concoctions, waist pads and laser beams of all kinds to advertise weight loss. These methods and products claim to aid weight loss in short duration. Hence, customers can choose what suits their budget and time.

One can suffer from cellulite despite being fit or overweight. It is blamed on the genetics and very few weight loss products can cure genetic cellulite problem. However, Velashape and Velasmooth are known to be beneficial in these cases. This is because they use ELOS technology to contour the body and eliminate cellulite through boosting the body’s metabolism.

Cellulite Removal Treatments and How to Avoid Cellulite

Cellulite commonly occurs on the thighs and hips. It is formed when toxins are not eliminated and waste products start building up, fat cells grow and form hard pockets of fat, creating dimples in the skin sometimes referred to as “orange peel” or “cottage cheese skin”. You may be genetically more prone to cellulite, or lifestyle factors such as hormones, stress, poor diet, lack of exercise and drugs can affect how much cellulite you have. Prevention is of course best by following a healthy diet and taking regular exercise.

Cellulite removal treatments include liposuction surgery, where an incision is made in the skin, a tube is inserted and the fat cells are sucked out. Another option is Smart Lipo, which is a laser treatment to remove fat from areas of the face and body. The SmartLipo laser breaks down fat cells, which are then absorbed naturally by the body and eliminated over the weeks following treatment.

Other non-surgical treatments include Lipomassage which is body massage using an Endermologie machine. This works to break down the fat cells, smooth the skin and improve body contours. You could also consider cellulite treatment creams which contain ingredients such as green tea, algae, Bladderwrack seaweed, Retinol or Vitamin A. These ingredients can aid weight loss, help to rid the body of toxins, help to break down fat and smooth the skin. Creams cannot cure cellulite, but they can improve the appearance of the skin by smoothing out the bumps.

Follow these tips to reduce and prevent cellulite:

” Drink at least 6 glasses of water a day to help flush toxins out of the body
” Drink fruit juice at breakfast
” Eat fruit with breakfast or as a morning snack
” Avoid alcohol, caffeine and fizzy drinks
” Limit your intake of red meat and salt
” Avoid fried, fatty food and full fat dairy foods
” Eat meals made with fresh ingredients rather than processed foods containing salt, sweeteners and other additives.
” Eat more high fibre foods.

What you Should Know About Body Contouring Treatments

Body contouring is a term to describe the cosmetic surgery treatments that shape different parts of the body. There are many options for body contouring, each with its own set of benefits and limitations. The following provides highlights for what you need to know about contouring treatments. Be sure to consult your cosmetic surgeon for more details.

What You Need to Know About Body Contouring: Liposuction

Liposuction is a preferred cosmetic surgery procedure. Effective when used alone, or in conjunction with other body contouring methods, liposuction shapes the body by removing localized fat deposits. When diet and exercise prove ineffective, liposuction can target stubborn fat around the belly, hips and thighs, buttocks and elsewhere.

What you need to know about liposuction is that it should not be used as a tool for weight loss. Patients should be close to normal weight, looking for help unresponsive pockets of fat. Additionally, liposuction is not effective for issues with cellulite and excess skin. Some patients find it necessary to combine liposuction with another body contouring technique, such as a body lift.

What You Need to Know About Body Contouring: Body Lift

A body lift is a cosmetic procedure that lifts and tightens excess skin on various parts of the body. Individuals who have experienced significant weight loss, due to pregnancy or weight loss surgery, may have problems with hanging skin that has lost elasticity. Patients can choose a comprehensive approach, target specific areas of the body, such as an arm lift, leg lift, butt lift, breast lift and neck lift.

A full body lift is a complex body contouring procedure. However, for patients who have sagging skin throughout the body, comprehensive cosmetic surgery may be necessary. A body lift may also be combined with cosmetic laser surgery for stretch marks and scars.

What You Need to Know About Body Contouring: Tummy Tuck

A tummy tuck is a cosmetic surgical procedure that tightens the muscles of the abdominal wall and removes excess skin. A tummy tuck can tone and smooth the appearance of the abdomen. Depending on your goals, results of a tummy tuck are enhanced in correlation with abdominal liposuction.

What you need to know about a tummy tuck is the permanent presence of a scar. There are two tummy tuck procedures: full and mini. A full tummy tuck addresses the entire abdomen. A mini tummy tuck targets the lower abdomen below the naval.

The scar for a full tummy tuck extends across the hips and can usually be concealed with a bathing suit. Mini tummy tucks will create a smaller scar. Also, surgical scars will eventually fade.

Body Implant

A body implant is cosmetic surgery that adds shape to different parts of the body. Body implants can be used to add volume to certain areas of the body that may be disproportionate. Common body implants are for pectorals, biceps, calves and the butt.

Unlike fat injections, the body will not absorb body implants. Many patients enjoy better fitting clothes and restored confidence. However, body implants are not the answer for sculpting the perfect physique.

Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation is a procedure to enhance the size of breasts. Women who choose breast augmentation may do so for various reasons, not the least of which is to restore confidence. While breast augmentation has lasting benefits for the right candidate, it’s important to understand that breasts will continue to change with time. There’s also a likelihood that implants will eventually need to be replaced.

Schedule a Consultation for Body Contouring

Discuss your options for body contouring or other cosmetic surgery with a qualified plastic surgeon. Learn the benefits and limitations, as well as the risk. For more information about body contouring, or different cosmetic procedures such as laser hair removal , refer to DocShop.com

Liposuction surgery is one of the most common treatments for people who want to reshape their bodies and give the appearance of weight loss. Advancements in the area of laser therapies have introduced a new type of treatment, Zerona-Cold Laser Non Invasive Lipo. This means you can have similar effects of liposuction without the surgery or risks.

No strict diets or exercise required for this type of treatment to give you the body you have always wanted.  Doesn’t this sound like a dream come true?

Well here is how it works…

The Zerona procedure works through what is known as a “cold” laser.  This type of laser has been used for years in other applications including joint pain, wound healing, chiropractic and veterinary medicine. This treatment emits a cold laser onto your challenged areas, where the fat is located.  The pulse of the laser will then help to break down the fat deposit so that the body can get rid of it naturally.  In some cases, there have been patients who have lost more than 7 inches of fat in an affected area! The treatment is completely pain free and safe.

A patient will have to undergo a series of six treatments (usually over two weeks) for optimum results. Result can be seen within that period of time. Results can be significant and there are absolutely no side effects.  This is a painless way of battling the bulge, while simultaneously not having to worry about long periods of recovery.  Now that is definitely an alternative worth trying out!

If you think you need to lose some inches but are worried about the cost and the pain of liposuction surgery?  Zerona Cold Laser Non Invasive Lipo treatment is for you.  It’s a treatment that has been FDA approved, is 100% pain free and promises no side effects or downtime.  You can be up and running after every treatment. It’s available right now and you can consult your doctor or a specialist.

The goal of Advanced Laser is to give our patients a healthier, fresher look and feel, one that will give them a renewed sense of confidence and restore their sense of self-esteem. Learn more about http://www.islandlaserblog.com

Surgery After Weight Loss And Body Lift Procedures

In the United States today, approximately 31% of the population (59 million people) is obese, defined as roughly 30 or more pounds over a healthy weight. Nearly 65% of the US population is considered either obese or overweight, defined as weighing 10 to 30 pounds over a healthy weight. Numerous health problems can arise as a result of obesity, including diabetes, heart disease, and many others.  There are a variety of ways to achieve weight loss, all starting with the self commitment to improve how we both look and feel.  A proper balanced, healthful diet combined with regular exercise is the cornerstone of weight loss and achieving health and fitness.  Surgical procedures, known as bariatric surgery, surgery for weight loss, or obesity surgery, can also be performed.  

After the tremendous achievement of weight loss, and particularly massive weight loss, many people are troubled by the excess loose and sagging skin and fat that remains.  The wonderful accomplishment of weight loss is often, and unfortunately, counterbalanced by the excess of the body, arms, and thighs that are both unsightly and symptomatic.  Thankfully, there are treatments that reduce or remove the excess skin and fat after weight loss, allowing people to truly reach their goals of both feeling and looking better.

The “body lift” describes a series of procedures that are tailored to the individual’s needs after massive weight loss. The Lower Body Lift, the Upper Body Lift, and the Thigh Lift are all body lift procedures that can be performed after extreme weight loss.

The Upper Body Lift removes excess skin and fat from the arms, underarms, chest, breast, and back.  Thigh Lifts remove excess skin and fat from inner thighs, and often outer thighs, and knees.  Every individual’s distribution of excess skin and fat, and their particular desires, are unique, and the different body lift “tools” can be tailored with the appropriate body lift procedure to satisfy one’s particular goals.

Lower Body Lift

The Lower Body Lift removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen, thighs, flanks, and back, while also tightening the torso and lifting the buttocks and thighs.  It is also known as a circumferential abdominoplasty, or dermolipectomy.  Liposuction is often performed as well.  Not only can excess skin and fat be removed with this body lift procedure, but the body can be contoured and “sculpted” to improve appearances dramatically.  This body lift surgery often requires an overnight stay in the hospital.

Upper Body Lifts

The Upper Body Lift can incorporate arm lift (brachioplasty), breast lift (mastopexy), and removal of excess skin and fat from the side of the chest wall and back.  Breast enlargement (breast augmentation with breast implants, or augmentation mastopexy) can also be performed should the individual desire. This type of body lift surgery is most often performed as an ambulatory procedure.

Thigh Lifts

Thigh Lifts remove excess skin and fat from inner thighs, and often outer thighs, and knees, and may incorporate the Lower Body Lift incisions. A Lower Body Lift is most often performed before the Thigh Lift.

Is a Body Lift Right For Me?

Body Lift surgery is only performed after you have reached a weight loss “plateau”.  It is important that nutrition and health are optimum prior to body lift surgery.  Once these are achieved, after thorough consultation with your plastic surgeon the specific body lift procedure and combination of techniques will be selected for your particular needs.

Feeling and Looking Good With VelaShape and Candela GetleLASE Laser Treatment

If you can look and feel better without having to go through plastic surgery, wouldn’t you do it? Plastic surgery should be the last of your options when it comes to aesthetic improvements on yourself. There are numerous way of looking and feeling better, and the wonderful thing is, it is inexpensive and is easily available to you.

Laser Hair Removal

Tampa aesthetic clinics offer a variety of treatments under laser hair removal. The idea behind laser treatment is that it hits very dark pigments, including hair follicles. Exposure to laser light will kill these follicles, reducing, or completely eliminating hair growth. Permanent hair removal through laser treatment can be done in almost all areas of the body including your back, chest, legs, arms, armpit, face, and pubic area.

Laser treatment comes in many forms. The most common types are the Intense Pulse Light Treatment (IPL) and the Candela GentleLASE treatment. IPL uses a specially constructed Xenon Flash lamp with focusing optics. This form of laser hair removal does not actually use laser. Instead, it uses various wavelengths of light to target hair follicles in the epidermis. IPL  also helps improve skin irregularities and texture. The initial side effect of the treatment is reddening of the exposed area. You will feel a small amount of discomfort during the procedure but it will subside after a few hours. Some may also feel itching and irritation of the exposed area—all of which are common side effects of Intense Pulse Light.

Candela GentleLASE is a newer form of laser treatment that uses a skin cooling device to reduce the usual side effects felt with other laser treatments. Permanent hair removal with Candela GentleLASE is ideal for lighter skin tones with dark hair. Laser light is converted to heat, targeting the dark hair follicles avoiding other tissues in the skin. Each and every pulse of laser is accompanied with a spray of coolant solution to keep the skin comfortable and free from burns. This is a perfect and pain-free alternative for bikini wax or Brazilian wax treatments. Bikini waxing and Brazilian wax treatments are undoubtedly uncomfortable and painful, especially for first timers. So why go through the trouble when you can get rid of hair through laser hair removal?

The best results are seen after 3 to 5 sessions of laser hair treatment.

Losing Weight Without Liposuction

Liposuction is a very invasive form of weight loss. If possible, it should only be considered in desperate situations. There are numerous risks with liposuction, even with new innovations today. Downtime after liposuction is also a hassle. Other risks from this surgery are infections, fat or blood clots, fluid loss, nerve and organ damage. Instead of taking these risks, why not try a new body contouring treatment?

Body contouring is the non-surgical way of cellulite treatment and fat elimination. One leading body contour treatment is brought by VelaShape. VelaShape combines Bi-Polar Radiofrequency, Infrared Light Technology, and Vacuum and Medical Massage. The final result is reduced appearance of cellulite, smoother and firmer skin surface, and circumferential reduction of bulgy areas in the body like the tummy, arms and legs.

A clinical study of various cellulite treatments showed that VelaShape reduced cellulite and bulging by 85%. Noticeable skin rejuvenation was also observed after the second session of the treatment.

You see, there are a lot of ways to look and feel better without plastic surgery. You just have to know your best options out there so you get the best results.

Good or bad results from using the Zerona Lipo Laser?

I’m thinking about using the Zerona Lipo Laser treatments to jump-start my weight loss and I was wondering if anyone has used Zerona, or knows someone [personally] who has? What kind of results did you see? How many treatments did you get? How much did you pay? How long ago did you get it done, and how long have your results lasted? Did you stay on a healthy diet as well as do some type of exercise? Even if it was just mild/moderate exercise?

Smartlipo: A Popular New Weight Loss Treatment

Seeking weight loss surgical treatment is increasing in popularity and has been used throughout the world in various ways to lower body weight, to help patients gain a desired appearance, and to increase confidence. There are currently a number of surgical options available that vary based on the reason for surgery.

For many, smartlipo is becoming a popular treatment to remove fat from the body, and to reshape certain areas of the body. The treatment involves the use of laser technology to tighten skin in areas, reduce body fat, reduce cellulite, remove certain unevenness, and other desired alterations. Patients can have localized sections of body fat removed spread out over a number of sessions. The treatment is considered less invasive as other liposuction techniques and the laser creates less bleeding and requires less recovery time. Also, the procedure does not require general anesthesia and can be performed with localized anesthesia, just numbing the areas to be treated. It is with these improvements that many are deciding to have their fat reduction performed with the use of lasers.

Smarlipo is increasing in popularity because of it decreased invasiveness as well as the patient’s ability to remain awake during the procedure. It is of course worth mentioning that Smartlipo does not prevent future weight gain. Though fat can be removed from the body, it is not permanently removed if diet and exercise cause weight gain. So the best way to keep a healthy and fit body is to exercise regularly and to eat a healthy diet. Thus liposuction of any kind cannot permanently remove weight and patients must adhere to a lifestyle routine that helps to maintain an optimal weight in order to see the results of the procedure remain for years to come.

Any sort of weight loss surgery is meant for those who have already tried to remove fat in specified areas, such as beneath the chin or in the abdomen, in other ways, such as exercise and a diet change. There are times when fatty deposits in certain areas of the body can be difficult to remove and tend to linger even over time and exercise. It is for these types of situations that forms of surgery can be helpful. Surgeons usually will not choose to operate on patients who have not tried alternative treatment options. Furthermore, liposuction is generally not recommended for patients who are obese and who have health issues related to their being over a healthy weight. Rather, smartlipo and procedures like it are best for patients seeking to lose weight is specific areas of the body and who are generally within a healthy weight range and do not suffer from weight related health problems. Overall, it is best to commit to a healthy routine, one filled with exercise and healthy eating which balances one’s weight with their consumption and which involves activity. It is important to protect the investment if weight loss surgery is decided upon. The last thing d want is to have a procedure like this performed, to pay for it, only to regain the weight due to an unhealthy routine.

More information on smartlipo, liposuction and a dermatologist or plastic surgeon in your area is just a click away.
