Here's a new hi-tech shortcut to a better, post-holidays body
I indulged during the festive season a little too much and gained a few kilos in just a week. No amount of diet or exercise seems to get rid of it and I need to get in shape before Valentine's Day! Is there any shortcut to slimming?
It’s quite common for people to overindulge with food and drink during the holiday season. But, while a big meal every now and then is to be enjoyed, too many meals a day, many days in a row, isn’t going to do your body any good.
The best way to lose weight is to eat less and burn off more calories, but, of course, it’s going to take time and a lot of effort. The best way is not always the easiest way. Thankfully, today there are many devices to help us shed the excess weight by burning away the fat.
Devices requiring high energy levels normally involve some discomfort. The painless ones are often ineffective. Now, however, we no longer have to choose – it’s possible to see significant results without suffering any pain.
Duo Slim Max is one of the latest technologies in body shaping, which is among the most effective and comfortable treatments available today. It uses the most sophisticated delivery of radiofrequency (RF) and ultrasound energy and allows constant monitoring of the skin during treatment for maximum comfort and effectiveness.
Meanwhile the cooling system makes the treatment more comfortable. This energy delivers heat to the deep layers of the skin, and the heat causes fat cells to shrink and simultaneously contracts the skin tissue, stimulating new collagen production in the process. The energy is controlled so that the heating power is kept at the optimal level for each area. This allows the operator to use high power settings without compromising safety or comfort.
This is an exciting new technology, since it can be used for both body contouring and skin tightening. The FDA-cleared, non-surgical procedure reduces fat and firms skin. It can be used on the face and body with superior results in a short amount of time. It is also painless – patients will only feel a deep heating sensation, even in the areas with delicate skin, such as the neck. The device can safely be used to reduce fat on most areas of the body.
The device won the Best Body Shaping Award at the 2012 Cozycot Women’s Choice Awards in Singapore and last year a My Face My Body Award in Britain. It has recently been brought to Thailand and is now available at a few clinics. The technology is quite new, so be sure to choose a reliable clinic with a skilled doctor who truly knows how the device operates. Once fat cells have been destroyed they don’t come back, so it can be said that the results are quite permanent, unless you lead a very unhealthy lifestyle. The device might be a shortcut, but that doesn’t mean you don’t still have to watch your lifestyle. Proper foods and exercise will always be the best way to maintain good health and a good shape.
