Sponsored: Lose Your Tummy Bulge with Liposonix
It wouldn’t take a
genius to realize that he has put on weight. Or she. Okay la I’m talking about myself. I attribute it to being happy, and having an amazing social life which involves loads of eating out, as well as
being oh-so-lazy-to-exercise.
I was staring at myself
naked in the mirror, and that good hard look at myself left me
depressed. My tummy was bulging out like I was in my fourth month
pregnancy. And I couldn’t even wear my once-loose shorts without
feeling suffocated and muffin-topped.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This came as no surprise at all, considering me being well aware of the low rate of cardio
activity in the past 5 months.
How???
Thanks to the kind folks
at Solta Medical, Dermacare,
as well as the one out there in the Universe - someone out there must
have heard my prayers - I was offered a Liposonix treatment at
Dermacare!
What is
Liposonix?
Not a new kind of
liposuction, if you are thinking that. However, it comes close.
Liposonix is making use of ultrasound
technology to remove lipids (fats) from your body, thus the name. No
surgery, no canula poking through your skin, no downtime. Liposonix
is also the only machine in the market that can help patients to lose
1 inch of fat with just 1 hour of treatment. Other technology
requires multiple treatments. It
is also possible for you to treat other parts of your body if the
doctor deems that you are suitable. So
you are the judge, pick the one that suits your needs.
How Does
It Work?
It makes use of
High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound
energy to non-invasively destroy the targeted fatty areas of your
body by penetrating through your skin layers without harming the skin
nor surrounding tissues. And it just takes an hour for a single
treatment.
Are you
suitable?
If you are generally slim
(or if people think you are but actually you just know how to hide
your fat really well like I do) yet have that little bit of fat at
the tummy which you can’t get rid of no matter what you do, you’re
perfect for this. Generally speaking, you must be able to pinch an
inch of fat in the treatment area, and your BMI must be equal or
lower than 30.
How Long
After Can I See Results?
Results are typically seen
within 8-12 weeks post treatment, which is the time needed for the
body to naturally remove the fat tissue which was destroyed.
So How's the Treatment Like?
Now we’re talking. We
start off with a consultation in the doctor’s office.
After finding out my
concerns and assessing if I am really suitable for the treatment, I
got changed into something more comfortable. (And super stylo milo.)
Never been more
fashionable. Lol.
And he began by pinching
my fats, and then marking the areas that he will treat. Because
Liposonix delivers high precision fat-destruction, only the areas
treated would be affected, leaving the skin and neighbouring tissues
and organs unharmed.
My fat belly and all the
areas marked. Wa lao I seriously feel like a piece of pork belly on
the butcher’s table.
This is the fat blaster.
A gel was applied to my
tummy before the machine glides over the area, kind of like how
doctors use ultrasound to do pregnancy scans.
The sensation varies with
each individual, and also with each area treated. You might feel
discomfort, cold, prickling, or warmth. For me, maybe because I have
strong ab muscles underneath that layer of fat, it hurt. Which was
why you need to have at least an inch of pinchable fat to do this
treatment. If not you might feel a little painful too.
The keyword is might. When
my lower ab area was treated, I felt like the machine was slicing me
open, without anaesthesia. What’s amazing is that I feel it in my
fatty layer, and my skin was NOT harmed at all. It’s like someone
tried to slice the fats out from under my skin.
Okay I’m sorry if I’m
sounding morbid, but I’m truly fascinated by the sensation. Lol.
Then again, when it came
to my sides, also known as my love handles, I felt nothing. No pain,
no discomfort. So when Dr Kwan was treating my sides it was a huge
relief for me because I could then chit chat normally without holding
my breath. ><
It really depends on
individual bodies I think, but hey, one hour of pain versus many
hours of futile attempts to exercise away that layer. I’ll take the
pain anytime.
After treatment. I don’t
know if it was just the angle or if that one hour has helped made my
tummy less flabby. But I felt like I did a thousand sit-ups. My abs
were sore, and it felt like my fats were really burning.
Results will take about
8-12 weeks to show, and I was told not to do anything too different.
So I’m still eating at odd hours, not watching my diet, eating
whatever, and not exercising much. Even though I am really tempted to
because I want to slim down faster~~~
Lun...lun...Slimmer soon
Silver...slimmer soon...
The guy who pinched and tortured my
fats. Lol. Thanks Dr Kwan, Solta Medical and Dermacare for the treatment!
Now I patiently await a
smaller tummy...
