Dr. Susan Judah of Clinical Tufts' Department of Evolutionary and Functional Medicine, Nutrition and Microbotany explains the best treatments for achieving aesthetic summer perfection.
As the new year approaches, many people take the opportunity to set health and aesthetic goals and plan treatments that will improve physical fitness, skin quality and muscle tone.From January allows you to achieve progressive and visible results by summer, always combining cutting-edge technology with healthy habits such as exercise and a balanced diet.Among the most popular options are techniques that combine muscle stimulation, regenerating body and improving microcirculation, all designed to work safely and effectively according to each patient's needs.
One of the star strategies is LPG."It's a mechanical technique that combines suction and movement to improve microcirculation, drainage and stimulate collagen," Dr.told Estetic.es.Susan Judas of the Clínica Tufet Department of Evolutionary and Functional Medicine, Nutrition and Microbiota.Done once or twice a week, it is a painless treatment with continuous results visible from the fourth or fifth session.In general, "about twelve sessions with monthly supervision are recommended."
Regarding the ideal patient profile for LPG, the specialist comments that "people with cellulite, fluid retention or a feeling of tired legs. It also helps people who are in the process of losing weight, since LPG helps to mobilize fat and makes it easier to eliminate. "Therefore, this treatment has established itself as a popular option for those who try to improve the texture of the skin and promote the liquid of the fat.
"The ideal profile for HIFEM includes active people who want to improve abdominal or gluteal tone or arms"
Hifem, big choice
Another interesting treatment is HIFEM magnetic stimulation, which according to Dr. Yehuda "creates a very powerful muscle contraction through magnetic stimulation, something that we could not achieve voluntarily. It helps tone, increases muscle mass and, as a side effect, reduces some fat thanks to the radiofrequency involved. The weekly sessions take place between 4 and 6, although it depends on the state of the previous muscle tone, every two Monthly maintenance is recommended. "We can see the results after 3 sessions and the improvement continuesafter a few weeks.It does not replace exercise, but accelerates and improves results."
The ideal profile for HIFEM includes "active people who want to improve abdominal or gluteal tone or arms, or who notice core weakness (eg, after childbirth). It also helps to slightly close abdominal diastasis and improve muscle mass after an accident or long rest."This technology allows you to achieve fast visible results in toning and strength, complementing regular physical activity.
CARBOXYTHERAPY COMES TO THE PERFECT SUMMER EXPERIENCE
Carboxytherapy is another option recommended by the specialist."It consists of the infiltration of medical CO₂ into the subcutaneous tissue. It improves microcirculation, helps break down fibrous barriers and is particularly useful for more compact cellulite or poorly oxygenated areas. It helps create collagen; it also works very well to improve skin quality."It is generally performed 1 to 2 times per week and combines very well with LPG, pressotherapy or mesotherapy.
Regarding the patient profile, Dr. Judah suggests that "those with cellulite or fibrosis are the only treatment or previous treatment to improve the area and facilitate the action of a second treatment."It is also helpful to make the scar more flexible (e.g., surgical or abdominal surgery) to improve or prevent receding.
Mesasterapy, on the other hand, "consists of advanced microinterflations of different substances, according to the statements of the patient. It is a very complex method that allows you to improve the quality or strengthening other body treatments."For this treatment, about 6-10 sessions are recommended, weekly, and then monthly maintenance.It can cause little bruises or a short stinging feeling in the treated area. "It is recommended to do it as a addition to carwaterapy or other body treatments."
"Cryolipolysis is a non-invasive technique that uses controlled cold to induce apoptosis"
Local fat?Cryolipolysis is the key
Finally, cryolipolysis is a treatment that is needed for localized fat."Cryolipolysis is a passive method that induces apoptosis (programmed death) of adipocytes with controlled cold. Adipose tissue is particularly sensitive to low temperatures, so it can be reduced without damaging the skin or adjacent structures."1-3 sessions are performed at intervals of 1-3 months.The results are visible after 3-4 weeks of treatment, and the maximum effect is achieved after 12 weeks."It is a treatment that is very well tolerated and has practically no side effects."
The specialist recommends this treatment "for localized obesity that does not respond well to diet or exercise."It is also recommended for patients with stable weight who need an alternative to liposuction surgery.However, it is not indicated in cases of obesity or in patients with changes in cold metabolism (cryogobulinemia, Raynaud's phenomenon).
