Maybe Body Contouring can help ...
"My ass look big in this ?"... Come on ladies, give it to, we talked about all these words at one time or another, usually standing in front of a full length mirror, craning her head back in a corner, has not been designed and tried desperately to see us from all possible sides.
But we are not alone ... Stop every woman on the street and more likely than not, they will tell you that the part of her body as she is more than any otherthighs, bottom, or belly, or more often than not all three!
In fact, according to the 2006 survey conducted this month byGrazia Corps magazine, 7 out of 10 of us think life can improve significantly if we are a body of "good", and half had us thinking that our body shape and size ruining our sex life, with our main concerns and dislikes of fat thighs, bingo wings (flabby arms), large funds, and "muffin tops", the tire appears on more than life!
So, what's out there in theCentury 21, helping to melt the fat side dish, smooth the bottom, and banish the orange peel?
You might still not a panacea, but it's certainly a whole host of new less invasive treatment options, all aimed at the new science of "body contouring", available from a clinic in your area.
This month we look at this growing market ...
The problem areas ...
Fat
Adipose tissue, commonly known as fat, connective tissue in the body is a targetdesigned for the storage of fat cells or triglycerides, which serve both as an insulating layer (to keep warm) and as energy storage. The fat accumulates in the deepest layer of the skin, known as the subcutaneous layer is located just above the muscle.
After puberty, we have no new fat cells in our body. If we gain weight the fat cells that we simply expand or become larger.
Cellulite
Cellulite is the term used to describe fat deposits outstanding for thethe skin look dimpled or irregular, usually lead to, thighs, hips and buttocks. It may seem sometimes called "orange peel" or "cottage cheese" skin described.
Cellulite is more common in women than in men because of differences in the way fat, muscle and connective tissue are distributed in men and women of the skin. It 'also common in women of all races, but is more common in Caucasian women.
Media and cellulite is not related to overweightEven underweight people cellulite, and even if the diet and exercise can diminish cellulite, a large part of it is comprised of toxins and the fat that accumulates in the body and is caused by poor blood circulation and lymphatic drainage (the way it pushes the body fluids) causes.
Therefore, most of the options available claiming to treat cellulite treatments to improve these specific areas (transport and lymphatic drainage), concentrated, and remain largely failed, because only goal"Appearance of cellulite," routine maintenance, instead of setting a true "cure" that most people hope.
Skin elasticity
Collagen is the natural protein in humans that forms connective tissue and found strength and support to the skin, ligaments, tendons, bones and other body parts. Elastin is the protein in the skin that helps maintain elasticity.
Over the years the skin loses its elasticity, because it produces less and lessFibers of collagen and elastin. This leads to a weakening of connective tissue, skin tone caused her to lose. The skin becomes flabby, and with the help of gravity starts to sag. This phenomenon has also increased and weight loss in pregnant women.
What are the treatment options?
Endermologie ®
Endermologie ®, a subset of skin (or under the skin) approach to treating cellulite, was introduced by LPG Systems in France in 1990. Since itsIntroduction in the United States, is the first patented technology worldwide, which are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of cellulite.
Endermologie ® is to use a motorized device with two adjustable rollers and controlled suction. The skin gently folds and unfolds under the continuous action of the rollers and is literally "smoothed". Under the skin, the tissues are compressed, which reduces the appearance of cellulite. AsResult of this action will increase the circulation of blood and the blood nourishes the cells under the skin. At the same time, removing unwanted toxins and fluids through the lymphatic system.
The FDA supports the claim that deep mechanical massage with Endermologie ® "temporarily reduces the circumferential body measurements in cellulite treated areas." In short, in patients who have had Endermologie ® to treat cellulite, their bodies have lost inches or an obvious "fatty"Appearance in the treated areas.
However, this effect is not permanent. The treatments are usually recommended twice a week with the changes observed after 5 or 6 sessions, and an average of 14 sessions in a treatment program with monthly ongoing maintenance to get the results.
Hypoxytherapy
Hypoxytherapy (Hypoxitherapy) arrived in Europe at the end of 1990 and burning is eliminated as a "revolutionary new fat burning treatment of cellulite and fat from the marketunique combination of gentle exercise and targeted low atmospheric pressure. "
The houses Hypoxi machine you are in a space-time in search pod from the waist down, where an increase in cycling machine in combination with therapy vacuum (low pressure) for the supply of blood and promote blood flow to cellulite threatened areas and fat, thighs hips and buttocks, which means that the primary fuel used during the gentle movement of the stubborn fatty partsBody.
Scientific tests conducted on 1530 women over six months by the manufacturer to explain that women lose three times on the thighs Hypoxytherapy when compared with normal fat burning training and exercise.
From the same stable comes the Vacunaut device that uses a combination of re-suction vacuum with gentle exercises, this time on the combined sets liberate the spare tire around the belly directed. Unlike the machine requires you to wear a Hypoxi VacunautPressure suit, similar in some respects, wetsuit, scuba diving here during the gentle exercise (walking on a treadmill).
Generally a course of treatment or Hypoxi Vacunaut (12-24 long sessions of 30 to 50 minutes) for a period of 4, 6 or 8 weeks, and instead requires you to participate in three sessions per week (alternate days) to commit. So, if you agree to be a good location, this strict regime, the results can not bebe expected.
Carboxytherapy
Carboxytherapy (Carboxitherapy) is one of the most advanced procedures in the United Kingdom for the treatment of fatty deposits and cellulite on the market. It uses a technique similar to mesotherapy, it gradually apply controlled amounts of sterile carbon dioxide under the skin using microinjections.
Carboxytherapy claims to handle two types. First, the carbon dioxide mechanically kills fat cells. Secondly, it also has a vasodilatorEffect (which is dilation (widening) of blood vessels), larger ships increased blood flow (circulation) means the area, which means more oxygen is supplied. The increase in oxygen is important because it eliminates the built up fluid between cells. The desired result is therefore less fat cells and firmer subcutaneous tissue.
20 sessions lasting 10 - - 15 minutes in a cycle of treatments usually take place, with more than 8 weeks between the 15 meetings usually once ortwice a week, but for best results, it is sometimes advisable to complete the cycle with treatments every other day. The results should last about six months as a regular top-up sessions are required.
Lipotherapy
Lipotherapy or injection lipolysis as previously Flabjab (TM), marketed Lipomelt, Lipodissolve, reducing injections of fat and the fat is the term used to describe the use of a particular drug, (Lipostabil ® - made from soy phosphatidylcholineBeans), which is injected subcutaneously (beneath the surface of the skin) is injected into the layers of fat to reduce cellulite and fat through the body's natural metabolism of the fat melts and eliminated from the body over time.
The use of Lipostabil ® has been in this way has been banned as a cosmetic treatment in the United Kingdom by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA). Consumers should be aware that should be offered.
Lipostabil ® is a licensedintravenous medications in Germany for the prevention and treatment of blockages of blood vessels in fat (also known as fat embolism), but it is not approved or licensed for cosmetic use and safety have been established for this purpose. Lipostabil ® is not licensed for all treatments in the United Kingdom can not be used in an off-license capacity.
Until further clinical studies to evaluate the safety of this product for cosmetic use conducted, the MHRA is unlikelyLift the current restrictions on the importation and use of phosphatidylcholine.
In April 2006, announced the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), the beginning of a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of "fat dissolving" treatment is primarily known as Lipodissolve. The purpose of the trial of ASAPS 'protocols is to doctors and their patients more specific and standardized the use of Lipodissolve and a basis for understanding the potential risks and giveAdvantage of this treatment reported fat dissolving.
We wait patiently for the results and the impact it can have on the UK market ...
Mesotherapy
Mesotherapy is a medical technology in 1950, invented by a Frenchman named Dr. Michel Pistor. It 'was first used to treat conditions such as arthritis, sports injuries, and improving blood circulation.
Mesotherapy is now used successfully by some doctors for the treatment of cosmetic conditions,including skin rejuvenation and improvement, hair regrowth, reduction of localized fat and cellulite treatment.
Mesotherapy consists of injecting a mixture including specially prepared, vitamins, amino acids and drugs can only put millimeters below the skin in the problem area. Only one "drop" is the solution for each injection site.
The actual production of the mesoderm (or surface layer of the skin) during Mesotherapy dependsProblem is treated. Although there is a lack of clinical work with mesotherapy for fat reduction and improvement of cellulite, is a technique that has been adopted by some operators. There are also some "no-needle" devices that may be able to these "agents" to keep the skin by means of electric currents.
Multiple treatments are often associated with some maintenance program (cellulite) is required.
TriActive (TM) laser
Lasers have been used for yearsfor the treatment of certain skin diseases - and recently a new system with the use of the laser is launched in United Kingdom, aimed at cellular market.
The TriActive (TM) by the Italian company Deka uses laser diodes in combination with two other methods for the treatment of cellulite. The six laser diodes which stimulate microcirculation during local cooling reduces water retention and a rhythmic massage stimulates lymphatic drainage.
This progressive combinedstimulating and massaging action of the connective tissue and fat is claimed to improve the appearance of cellulite with multiple treatments per week - followed by maintenance sessions to maintain the result.
Tri-Active (TM) is FDA approved for the treatment of cellulite.
Radio frequency
Radio frequency (RF), as opposed to laser (light), is able to penetrate deep into the skin and the deep dermis and subcutaneous layers, causing tightening and improvementsthe structure of the underlying tissue, but with little or no change in skin texture. E 'for this property, the various devices will be promoted with radio frequency for skin tightening and cellulite treatments.
Launched in Britain in 2004, ThermaCool (TM) Thermage ®, a mono-polar (single electrode) RF device only U.S. FDA approval for non-invasive treatment around the eyes, and the treatment of facial wrinkles, but in They also announced in January 2006 FDA approval for off-face(Body) use of ThermaCool (TM) for non-invasive treatment of wrinkles.
From the back of this FDA approval, Thermage ® has revealed a new brand for its off-face procedures, called Body Thermage (TM), include the non-invasive treatments for contouring and tightening loose skin on the arms, thighs , buttocks, abdomen, legs and hands.
Although Body Thermage (TM) is at an early stage, especially in the U.S. we do not expect it will take much to start another trader in the United KingdomUsing this technology, both for the face and tone body process.
The Accent (TM) Advanced Beauty Cosmetics Ltd (Alma Lasers) is another stand-alone device with RF monopolar and bipolar radiofrequency, which is also being marketed in the United Kingdom. This system differs from the (TM) ThermaCool device for the treatment of multiple applications is recommended, where radio is used for the skin of about 40 degrees of heat and temperature for differentThis method claims to be at least less painful ThermaCool (TM) and the improvement of cellulite, reduce fat and tighten skin.
Increasingly, innovation, production equipment, the RF energy in combination with other modalities, such as light treatments, which are improved with the addition of radio frequency used in the production of machines able to treat more successfully wider variety of aesthetic indications.
The VelaSmooth (TM) is a machine like that, led by Syneron patentedElos (TM) (Electro-Optical Synergy) technology, which combines laser and infrared light mobilized bi-polar RF energy for the tissue and suction, and should be an effective body contour and fat reduction tool, and the reduction of cellulite device, so that in June 2005, has received FDA approval for "temporary reduction in the appearance of cellulite."
Treatments (30 to 45 minutes in length) are usually recommended twice a week with an average of 10 sessions in a treatmentProgram and monthly ongoing maintenance to continue the results.
Liposelection ® by Vaser ®
Liposuction (also called lipoplasty, liposculpture or lipectomy) is a surgical procedure (performed under anesthesia) to remove specific areas of stubborn fat, do not react to a healthy diet and regular exercise, such as areas around the back, chest, abdomen, hips , buttocks, thighs, knees, arms, chin and neck. It is not effective against celluliteReduction or a reasonable alternative to diet and can not prevent you from gaining weight.
Traditional liposuction techniques to remove unwanted fat via a hollow cannula (tube) with the help of vacuum and use the strong arm of a surgeon. Techniques available include SAL (suction-liposuction) and PAL (Power Assisted Liposuction).
As a result of these traditional techniques, UAL (ultrasonic liposuction), was in early 1990, availablethe use of ultrasonic energy, emitted through the tip of a cannula to emulsify (liquefy) the fat before being sucked through a vacuum.
By the U.S. FDA in 2002 and recently in Great Britain, by Vaser ® Liposelection ® (Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance) also uses ultrasound to break came the fat cells before they then removed with suction. However, the Vaser system differs from previous generations of UAL in its applicationUltrasound.
It uses a probe (2.2 to 3.7 mm in diameter) with a patented grooves along the sides so that the ultrasonic energy can be released from all sides of the probe, and means from the top, allowing the surgeon the ability to sculpt, sensitive areas like the arms, inner thighs, neck and chin closer. The effect of the delivery of ultrasound scattered in this way (as opposed to first of all about) is that it does not damage other structures within the region, assuch as blood vessels and nerves, such as mechanical stress than with traditional liposuction, bruising and pain to a minimum, which means a faster recovery time. Once liquefied, the fat is then using a patented rounded cannula and suction.
UltraShape
L '(Contour I) UltraShape device has received CE Mark in June 2005 (U.S. FDA approval is still pending) and is marketed by manufacturers as "the first test non-invasive ultrasound solution for body contouring."
TheTake as an alternative treatment for women and men, the effective removal of excess fat cells without surgery, and focuses on the abdomen, inner and outer thighs (saddlebags) and hips (love handles). In contrast to the ultrasound-assisted liposuction techniques mentioned above, it does not incisions or surgery and requires the body to rid itself of unwanted fat naturally after treatment.
The UltraShape treatment begins with the doctor marks the area of treatment orTarget Zone (with a pen) and uploading of computer tracking system with colored markers placed around the area. The physician then glides the transducer (a handheld device, the electrical energy into ultrasound energy) over the target area and provides short pulses of ultrasound energy focused in the subcutaneous fat.
Each pulse breaks the fat cell membranes, without affecting the blood vessels, nerves or other connective tissues and the overlapThe skin is not damaged. By repeating the process, interfere with the device a layer of fat under the skin. A camera monitors the positioning of the transducer and the person's body, while the tracking system shows the areas already treated and shows the areas to be treated. The treatment takes between ¾ and 1 ½ hours (depending on the area to be treated) and then you can resume normal activities.
So what happens to the fat targeted?If treated by UltraShape, the membranes of fat cells are destroyed and the contents of fat cells, is known as triglycerides, is in the fluid between cells and then transported through the vascular system (veins) and lymphatic system, liver. Once in the liver, there is no difference between the fat from the UltraShape treatment and fat from the food consumed, and both are eliminated from the liver through natural mechanisms.
The results are expected to take a couple ofWeeks show how the body makes the rubble.
Laser Lipolysis
Vaser Liposelection ® Unlike the ®, which uses ultrasound to break up the fat, the 'Smartlipo ® device (U.S. FDA approval in progress) by the Italian company Deka a 1064 nm Nd: YAG pulsed laser.
Marketed by them as breaks Laserlipolisi (TM), liposuction, laser assisted lipolysis, or laser treatments, the membranes of fat cells and turns them into an oily substance (liquid fat) that hisremoved by low-pressure suction or absorbed and eliminated from the body.
The procedure is much less traumatic than traditional liposuction (ie, less bruising and a quicker recovery) (effects due in equal parts to the type of anesthesia and the heating of the laser coagulation of the blood) and blood loss.
Under anesthesia, a small puncture or cut made in the skin and the laser light is conveyed throughthe introduction of a micro-cannula (with a diameter of 1 mm) in which an optical fiber has been used, the result is the Nd: YAG laser through the system extremely short pulse (which is the minimum heat) emitted. The surgeon is able to see where the end of the needle at any time by a visible red light that is inserted through the skin of another "guide" shines fiber in the micro-cannula. The surgeon can then model the cannula is a fan in an effective andevenly liquefy the fat in the treated area.
Because of the small size of cannulas used (1mm) pulled this liposculpture treatment is considered, compared to traditional liposuction, minimally invasive techniques, so that sensitive areas like the face, forearms, knees, upper abdomen and can be treated with this method .
The fat is then organized in the same manner as observed with the UltraShape treatment, the natural processes of the body, or it can be removed with a syringe, orLow level of suction through the incision has already been created. This would decide the patient / physician choice. The results are expected to show in a few weeks or months to see if the body is clear debris left on the field.
Summary
More and more people are looking for ways to find remodeling effects on the body with minimally invasive techniques to obtain non-intervention.
Although many experts claim that the results of body contouring is achieved with such techniquesdramatic or long lasting as those on surgical techniques (such as liposuction, abdominoplasty, etc.), and expectations of patients' lowered match should be obtained, which are over riding factors of less downtime and quicker recovery times, together with little or no cuts are the main attractions that the most difficult to resist.
Based on this trend, more and more devices and techniques available on the market than ever before, all saying, shape and contour of the bodyin one way or another.
Effective treatment of cellulite a little 'more difficult. Although liposuction alone, thighs and buttocks circumference can be reduced - can worsen the appearance of cellulite. Medical studies at other options above do not tend to be very large - and comparative studies to evaluate the various devices to push even more.
In addition to different approaches may be needed for different people, such as cellulite tends to include a broad spectrum of lightDents to be very swollen (edematous) Shock leg extended (or "orange peel" effect).
Like many new technologies, tend to be somewhat 'embellished manufacturer claims, and we also collected to be careful of their safety and efficacy, as long-term clinical evidence, little is known about possible future complications.
As you develop your experience with this technology you can be assured that we will be here to provide you with the facts on how to update. Appear
