Lose fat in 15 to 30 days

Of course you’ve known for six months or even longer that the beach party is only a month away, and you are now in panic mode.
The fact that you are attending the party means you look decent in a bikini and your weight may be just right, or even lacking for your height.
But there are always problem areas that bathing suits can’t hide. Exercise won’t do much at this point and crash dieting will make you look haggard, or you can even get sick.
Liposuction isn’t even a solution because you could still be tender, very bruised, swollen and experiencing some discomfort and pain for a month, and sunlight exposure this early may encourage pigmentation scarring.
Visible results
Considering your fast-approaching deadline, there is one non-invasive treatment from Allura Body Contour and Slimming Center that addresses your concern without the need for anesthesia, and shows visible results in 15 days. If you need results earlier than that, I have nothing safe to suggest for you.
Difference
Ultrashape V3 (version 3) is priced at P48,000 a session per area. But a single session is equivalent to the results of 10 Cavitation sessions. It’s perfect for those who need to lose fat in a certain area at a limited amount of time and do not want anything invasive.
How is this different from Ultrashape 1 and 2? Version 3 includes RF (radio frequency), about eight minutes before and after main treatment, to liquefy more fat.
Aside from fat and circumference loss, skin is also tighter and firmer, and cellulite looks less obvious.
Pain factor: The fat framing feels like they are trying to rip your fatty flesh off with their hands right before they tape around it. I have very low tolerance for heat as well, and when the hand piece zaps over the area near the bone, the pinpricks of heat does make me gasp. On fatty areas, the feeling is very tolerable. Treated areas also feel tender for a few hours after.
They weigh you, mark the areas with the biggest bulge, gather and bind to frame the fatty area tightly with tape, then use RF.
Main event: It uses ultrasound to blast the fat. Last step is RF treatment again. Results will be seen as early as five days. If you or they feel not enough fat was reduced after 15 days when you come back for measurement, you may opt for another session right away.
If you have no particular deadline one month after, another session is more ideal because you will still be shrinking and may not need another session. The UltraShape procedure is guided by a tracking and guidance system for 3D mapping of the body’s curvature to ensure complete and uniform energy delivery over the entire treatment area, minimizing the risk of contour irregularities—a common side effect of liposuction. The benefit: It ensures smooth, uniform body contouring results.
Suggested areas: thighs, love handles and stomach. Please manage expectations. Clinical studies carried out by physicians show average circumference reduction that ranges from 3.5 to 6.3 cm after three treatments (results vary). Don’t expect pencil thighs and washboard abs if you came in with heavy thighs and two or more inches of pinched love handles.
This is best for people with the right weight and BMI (body mass index) as they are the ones who will come close to meeting personal expectations.
Restrictions: Low- to zero-fat diet for five days, so you do not overload your liver and kidneys during the elimination period where the blasted liquefied fat is lined up to be excreted via natural channels.

Getting rid of the fat, the easy and painless way
They say getting rid of the last five to 10 pounds is the most difficult and takes the longest. People who are 10 lbs or less overweight are perfect candidates for liposuction. But what if you can’t stand the thought of going through an invasive procedure like liposuction and are too lazy to exercise? How do you lose those unwanted pounds?
Ultrashape-VDF is the first clinically-proven, non-invasive system for permanent fat reduction.
“Ultrashape-VDF is the first clinically-proven, non-invasive system for permanent fat reduction,” says Dr. Ariel Torres of Marie France.
Torres explains that UltraShape-VDF uses ultrasound wave technology to remove unwanted fat. High-frequency ultrasound waves pass through the patient’s skin from outside the body and selectively targets fat cells in the localized area. It can penetrate the body in various levels depending on the volume of fat – from the superficial layer down to a multiple depth in a single pulse (it only takes a second to penetrate the body).
It is important to note that these ultrasonic waves break down fat cells without any damage to surrounding blood vessels, skin, muscle, bone and nerves. From there, the broken down cells are liquefied and absorbed into the patient’s white blood cells, which are then eliminated through the body’s natural processes.
“It takes about a month for the body to get rid of the fat in the targeted area,” says Torres.
UltraShape-VDF claims to have the capability destroy a greater volume of fat cells in one sitting as compared to the older version of the machine. It also has a radio frequency, or RF component, which allows smoother and better body sculpting and toning. The patient can now enjoy better technology and faster results with the new UltraShape-VDF.
One session takes 30 to 45 minutes. It’s painless and hassle-free. All you have to do is lie down and there is no downtime at all.
“With the older UltraShape model, a three-week gap in between sessions is required. With UltraShape-VDF, you can undergo sessions every two weeks,” says Torres.
He says four to six sessions of Ultrashape-VDF on a specified area, accompanied by a good diet, approximates the effect of liposuction on that body part.
He adds that a 6.3cm reduction in the targeted area is now possible in just three sessions. Based on clinical studies, over 90 percent of clients have felt noticeable improvements in their problem areas in just two weeks, right after one session.
UltraShape-VDF is recommended for women who are of average weight but want to develop a shapely body contour. The treatment is a good solution for people who have trouble spots—bulging tummy, muffin top, thick thighs, love handle, and saddlebags. It is also recommended for those who are overweight but do not want to resort to drastic surgical fat reduction procedures. Those with liver problems or underlying health problems should consult with their physicians first.

A stack of stubborn fat
INTHEMIRROR
They know your name at the gym, you’ve starved yourself, you’ve also tried all those food supplements that promise a model figure, and yet your love handles, big hips or sagging underarms are still happily jiggling away.
If it makes you feel any better, know that you’re not the only one having this issue. Almost everyone has a problem area where they seem to deposit fat.
For men, it tends to accumulate around the midsection. Women tend to have stubborn body fat on their thighs, abs, hips and underarms.
WHEN DOES FAT BECOME STUBBORN?
It’s difficult to get rid of the fat that has turned into cellulite. And what’s the difference between the two? Sometimes fat accumulation pushes against the connective tissue beneath your skin, creating a lumpy texture which we then refer to as cellulite. This cellulite or fat pockets under the layers of skin do not disappear, even if normal fat decreases with weight loss. Other than poor nutrition and weight gain, factors that contribute to cellulite are genetics, damaged connective tissues, poor circulation and hormonal factors. The only good news is, unlike an excess of normal fat, cellulite does not cause major health issues.
HOW BEST TO GET RID OF IT?
While a good diet and exercise will not eliminate cellulite, it can reduce its appearance. Clean up your diet to lose stubborn fat. Instead of three large meals, six small meals can keep you satiated and get your metabolism charged throughout the day. If you snack on foods like cakes, chips, sodas and fruit juices, eliminate them or at least reduce your intake. To burn fat fast, you should consume a diet rich in lean protein, fresh fruit and vegetables, low-fat dairy products and complex carbohydrates.
Train more intensely with cardio exercises and muscle toning weights. After you have tried both diet and exercises and succeeded in losing weight but not the stubborn fat, then you can use technologies to assist and speed up the process. They often work better than diet and exercise when it comes to getting rid of stubborn, localised fat.
WHICH PROCEDURES WOULD YOU RECOMMEND?
For non-invasive temporary procedures we use cellulite machines to firm you up, tighten and smooth the skin. There are a few cellulite machines available using ultrasound technology, radio frequency technology or the latest and most popular machine called the Vella 2. Vella 2 became popular very quickly because it combines four energies to give the most effective treatment. While performing suction and drainage the machine uses low level laser to stimulate blood circulation and target the fat while simultaneously using radio frequency to tighten the tissue. Vella 2 needs to be done three times taking roughly over half-an-hour a session.
More painful, medical treatments are Carboxytherapy (CO2 injection) or mesolipolysis. The two treatments are similar and involve fat loss injections in which we insert certain chemicals into the fat area in order to stimulate blood flow so that there’s skin elasticity improvement, localised fat reduction and collagen production stimulation. The results of these are temporary.
ARE THERE ANY PERMANENT OPTIONS?
If you’re looking for dramatic and immediate results, liposuction is usually your best option. Currently, the latest technology for liposuction is Body Tite, which removes stubborn fat and tightens the skin simultaneously. Instead of using laser liposuction or ultrasound VASER which just sucks out the fat cells, Body Tite or Radio-Frequency Assisted LipoTightening uses RF technology to go under the skin, burn and melt the fat, before removing it. Radio frequency also has a very heavy coagulation effect so you don’t have as much bruising as laser. Its ability to pre-melt the fat makes the removal process less traumatic, greatly reducing post-procedural pain, swelling or discomfort. But the “wow” factor is its ability to perform liposuction and tighten your skin at the same time.
Unlike all existing Laser liposuction and ultrasound VASER technologies, Body Tite is designed to tighten even the top layer of the skin often with soft tissue contraction of up to 40%, which means you wouldn’t need another tightening machine to complement your liposuction procedure.
WHAT RESULTS CAN BE EXPECTED?
The treatment takes only a couple hours with minimal postoperative discomfort and bruising. Usually after the procedure, you may just experience tenderness and soreness in the area which goes away in a while. Results can be seen immediately, although the best results show after two to three months. The cellulite goes permanently, until you gain the fat back with your lifestyle.
HOW CAN I PREVENT FURTHER FAT?
Stay away from crash diets or diets that make you lose fat and gain it again. The more your weight fluctuates, the more stubborn fat you may gain.
Eat and avoid the foods I recommended earlier. Drink lots of clean, pure water and avoid excessive alcohol consumption. Make sure you follow a steady exercise routine.

Non-surgical “chin tuck” with radiofrequency and electro …
LipoTherapeia, London’s leading skin firming and fat reduction salon, introduces Meso-CRF Chin Tuck, a surgery-free, non-intrusive procedure for the removal of fat from the chin, jowl and cheek areas.
London, UK (PRWEB) June 25, 2012
LipoTherapeia, London’s leading radiofrequency and no-needle mesotherapy clinic now offers a Meso-CRF Chin Tuck, a dedicated non-surgical chin-tuck treatment, which promises to reduce excess fat and saggy skin on the chin/jowl/cheek area, without the pain, scar tissue and swelling associated with surgical or needle-based procedures.
After a certain age, the skin around the chin and cheek area becomes loose, as fat starts to accumulate in the area. It is now well known that when fat expands it breaks down the collagen architecture around it to facilitate it’s expansion. This process leads to the saggy, fatty appearance we call jowl / double chin, found usually in women in their fourties. However, this process can start pretty early in life, as early as the twenties.
Fat accumulation on the cheeks themselves can puff-up the contours of the face, virtually “hiding” the cheekbones and the beautiful contours associated with them. Furthermore, fat around the laugh lines (nasolabial folds) accentuate those lines, leading to a more aged appearance.
Weight loss may facilitate the removal of fat from those areas but it can not do anything for the saggy skin created in the area by the previous expansion of fat tissue.
Liposuction (plain, ultrasound-assisted or laser-assisted) can correct some of these problems but requires singificant downtime, may leave scar tissue behind and involves swelling, pain and potential complications. For all these reasons more and more women are considering non-surgical methods such as Meso-CRF Chin Tuck.
Meso-CRF Chin Tuck is the combination of high-power monopolar radiofrequency with 15-ingredient electro-mesotherapy. Contrary to other radiofrequency treatments, Meso-CRF Chin Tuck is not only pain-free but actually pleasant – clients quite often “doze off” while receiving the treatment. The 15 skin firming / fat-fighting actives in the mesotherapy cream/gel boost the action of radiofrequency for a synergistic virtual mesotherapy effect.
Meso-CRF Chin Tuck results are obviously more gradual and less radical than those achieved with surgery, but contrary to surgery these results are achieved with no pain, swelling scars, tissue hardening, surgical complications or infections.
LipoTherapeia suggest 12 Meso-CRF Chin Tuck sessions in most cases, typically taken in two courses of 6 sessions. “As the client finishes the first course they have a pretty good idea of the effectiveness of the treatment and can the proceed for the extra 6 sessions”, explains Georgios Tzenichristos, who specialises in radiofrequency treatments for the face and body. “A full course of 12 sessions usually takes 6-12 weeks, meaning that the treatment is a more gradual and less radical approach to that of surgery. For comparison, liposuction results can take 3-6 months to appear”, adds Georgios.
Clearly, Meso-CRF Chin Tuck is not a miracle and Georgios discourages women with large amounts of fat or skin looseness from having the treatment, referring them to a surgeon instead. But for the less severe cases, natural methods, such as monopolar radiforequency and electro-mesotherapy, may be preferrable to the drama of intrusive procedure such as surgery or injections.
But what about those that offering non-surgical procedures that claim to “get rid of your fat” in one or two sessions? How does this compare to the 12 sessions proposed by Lipotherapeia? “People believe the hype that one or two super-expensive “luncthime” non-surgical procedures can eliminate their chin or jowl fat, but this could not be further from the truth. The truth is that a good 12 sessions are typically needed for good results in most cases – even with the very best technology has to offer. Miracles do not exist!” proclaims Georgios. “We want to be responsible and honest with our clients and we want them to be happy with the final results, so we do not make exaggerated promises and we tell things as they are right from the beginning. If a client wants hype we do encourage her to go somewhere else! Technology is amazing these days and provides great results in most cases, but it takes time and repeated treatments for satisfactory results.”
Meso-CRF Chin Tuck has an 100% safety record to date, with zero side-effects after 18 months of offering the treatment at LipoTherapeia. The treatment is offered exclusively by Georgios and his assistant at the boutique Knightsbridge-based aesthetic practice, where more than 100 procedures are provided each month.

- Most women experience the first long-term results with Meso-CRF in 3-4 sessions, with the best results typically achieved in 6-12 sessions, according to each individual’s needs.
—————————-
Disclaimer
- Meso-CRF offers great results in comparison to the majority of radiofrequency, cavitation and needle-free mesotherapy treatments, because it simultaneously combines these two techniques, also saving you time and money (a course of 6x Meso-CRF sessions is equivalent to 12x stand-alone RF and electro-mesotherapy treatments). These results occur when the treatment is combined with diet, exercise and smoking/alcohol avoidance.
- However, nothing biological can be guaranteed by any treatment or any technology, surgical or non-surgical, including Meso-CRF. For this reason LipoTherapeia cannot make specific guarantees about specific results after a specific number of sessions, as those not only depend on the effectiveness of the technology used but also on factors over which we have no control, such as the client’s diet, exercise and drinking habits; her genetics; her overall health; the severity of her skin looseness/fat accumulation; and her goals/expectations. The guidance of 12 sessions, is only indicative of the amount of sessions required and less or more sessions than 12 may be needed, depending on the factors mentioned above.
