Getting and Keeping those Curves Hi, Dr. MJ Valdecanas, I’d like to inquire about lipo-surgery and lipo therapy, please. I’m also interested in learning more about Resonax. How does it help in losing weight? What are its benefits to the skin? Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks, Thank you so much for the e-mail inquiry, Reggie. There has been a growing concern among Filipinos with being overweight and obese. Women are especially at risk of android obesity, a condition where one’s waist-hip ratio is not proportional according to healthy standards. Anyone can come in at the Zen Institute for a free consultation so we can determine one’s body mass index and body fat ratio. After determining these numbers, we would then recommend treatments and nutritional counseling so that you can achieve the ideal weight gradually and naturally. At the Zen Institute, we offer the Body Sculpting program to lose and keep-off excess fat and weight. Clients who have undergone liposurgery and are unsatisfied with results are perfect candidates for this program. Those who have already achieved their ideal body weight through exercise and diet and yet carry visible fat deposits in some parts of the body can also benefit from body sculpting. Together with nutritional coaching and body conditioning, our body sculpting program is a combination of lipotherapy and Resonax treatments. Lipotherapy or mesotherapy is a localized spot fat reduction program that shrinks stored fats at the abdomen, upper arm, thighs, buttocks and other problem areas. This treatment is introduced to the body through injections and works by dissolving the fats cells. The fatty acids are then slowly reabsorbed and flushed from the body over a period of time. Developed in Italy, Resonax technology targets cellulites in specific parts of the body by using quantum molecular resonance frequency. Each treatment lasts for 45 minutes with several patches delivering controlled, intensified heat. Many find this treatment so relaxing that they cannot help but doze off during the session. Results are readily visible by being religious to the weight management program and scheduled treatments. In comparison, liposurgery is a cosmetic surgical procedure wherein fat and skin is cut away for an instant weight reduction. This medical treatment carries with it the same risks just like any other major surgical procedure and requires some down time for healing and recovery. Such procedure then is recommended by a certified medical practitioner only after weighing the benefits and risks involved with the client. Going back to Resonax, this technology can also be applied to achieve a more prominent facial contour. Fat deposits on the face and neck can be flattened and dissolved with the same treatment passing through a rod with a blunt end. The emanating heat is warm and soothing to the face. As a result, sagging skin slowly diminishes with improved facial curves one can immediately notice. |
