Introduction to CoolSculpting

CoolSculpting
The original CoolSculpting by ZELTIQ is a breakthrough, non-invasive fat reduction procedure that uses cooling technology to noticeably eliminate fat without surgery. It is not a weight loss solution for people who are obese, but it can be a non-surgical substitute for liposuction. Good candidates have noticeable bulges in certain areas they would like to get rid of.

CoolSculpting® is US FDA-cleared for the flank (love handles), abdomen (belly) and thigh and is proven to be a safe and effective treatment to reduce stubborn and unwanted fat. Typically, there is minimal to no downtime after the treatment.

During the procedure you may experience deep pulling, tugging, pinching, numbness or slight discomfort. Following the procedure, typical side effects include temporary numbness, redness, swelling, bruising, firmness, tingling, stinging and pain that will later subside. The CoolSculpting procedure is not a treatment for obesity.

Dr. Sylvia Ramirez of Cutis Medical Laser Clinics, an award-winning aesthetic clinic in Singapore, will determine if you are a good candidate and work with you to determine the best treatment plan during a one-on-one consultation.

The CoolSculpting treatment starts by marking and measuring the targeted area. The treatment is done while the patient is lying down. The CoolSculpting device is then placed on the marked area and a strong vacuum pressure gently draws tissue between the cooling panels.  As the cooling begins during the first few minutes, you will feel pressure and intense cold. This will soon dissipates.

Many people read, work on their laptop, or even take a nap during their treatment. The sensation is a gentle pull and pressure – enough of a pull to ensure the selected tissue will be cooled most efficiently. An hour later, depending on your needs, you’re done. As the procedure is completely non-surgical, you can typically return to normal activities immediately.

Is IPL Effective For Your Skin Pigmentation?

 IPL Treatment
Intense Pulsed Light [IPL] is one of the laser treatments; however, it is quite different from the others. The produced light-rays have different wavelengths that penetrate deep within the skin & provide effective treatment. The good thing about IPL treatment is that it can be used for the benefit of the skin in different ways.

IPL treatment is commonly preferred laser-light treatment because a number of skin problems can be dealt with at once. The different wavelengths are effective in the treatment of broken capillaries, age spots, and sun spots. Skin pigments can be aligned by more collagen production. Collagen is the natural protein which makes the skin elastic.

During the skin pigment treatment using IPL, the light produced is normally filtered before reaching the skin. Filtering ensures correct light wavelengths reach the skin. The type of light that the body-substances respond to is the one that is normally allowed in. Hemoglobin, blood vessels, and melanin are the substances that are mostly found in age spots. IPL treatment heats the cells that contain more hemoglobin or melanin, & terminates them.

The process does not take a day alone, it involves many hours of check-ups and exposure to the Intense
Pulsed Light. The steps that are followed include 2 to 3 sessions of treatment which are scheduled 3-weeks apart, to protect the skin, a cooling gel is normally applied, a hand-piece that is chilled is applied on the skin gently, and the deep and superficial layers are rejuvenated by applying light pulses. This process normally takes thirty minutes. During the process, do not strain yourself; for you shall be uncomfortable and it will be less effective because the laser light shall be absorbed by the melanin in the skin.


After the laser treatment, the skin becomes dry for some time and with time; it will appear to be much smoother.

Botox and Filler as a Solution of Wrinkles

About Wrinkles- At a Glance

Wrinkles on one’s face are natural thing that everybody experiences in his or her life. They come with the passing age and they form an important part of facial expression, which play as human non verbal communication. They help express moods and feelings like anger and surprise. But, they have a tendency of remaining visible even when the frowns have stopped. With the frown expression the muscles in the forehead and between the eyes contracts that causes the skin to wrinkles, where the contraction occurs and it stops wrinkling ceases. However, these dynamic wrinkles come and go with the muscular contraction, but with the age they tend to become more prominent. It can become a matter of concern, when the wrinkles reach to the point or remaining highly visible after the frown has been stopped. Here, Botox and dermal fillers come into play to treat static and dynamic wrinkles.

Botox and Filler as a Solution of Wrinkles

Botox: In its purest form, Botox is known as a brand name for a diluted mixture, which is extremely harmful for humans. In this form it acts as a muscle relaxant that is used to inhibit muscle contractions. Here, Botox is used in both surgical procedures (medical and cosmetic). Botox is used as a cosmetic treatment that is treated through injection to control the dynamic wrinkles. After Botox treatment the patient gets relax with the relevant muscle groups in the forehead and it reduces the appearance of frown lines dramatically. 

Filler: It is well known fact that wrinkles form the evident that one has experienced life. After a certain time period they get out of control and appear deep and prominent. Restylane and Cosmoplast are most commonly known dermal fillers. These are injected into the dermis layer of skin to get the plumped up skin. This process of plumping up the skin form the dermal layer forces out the wrinkles and gives the more young appearance. Wrinkles that have been etched into the skin by years of expressions such as angry, laughing, surprising and grimacing can be treated through dermal fillers.

Cost of Botox and fillers: In UK the cost of Botox starts form as cheap $ 298 per treatment and extra cost is calculated after the initial consultation that determine the number of treatments and so the amount of areas that need treatment. When we talk about the cost of fillers, then it stats form approximately $ 274.61. The cost of both Botox and fillers is inversely proportional to the quality purchased.

Getting the Fancy Body Shape

If you thought body shaping is for models and movie stars then you’re wrong. Everyone wishes to have a fine body shape that is in all perspectives proportional and one that makes them feel comfortable in their favorite clad. Having an ugly shape can cause some people psychological problems because they tend to feel insufficient or social misfits in the society. The good news is that there are solutions for this and they can be adopted by anyone regardless of age or sex.

Putting on too much weight is one of the reasons that cause people to have proportional concerns. I don’t think anyone loves the extra fat that forms around the waist or on the tummy and if there is then perhaps something is wrong with them. There are so many corrective measures available for use to correct bad shapes but they cannot all be trusted. Body contours are better left untouched than handled unprofessionally.

Laser is not the latest technology for shaping bodies but it is indeed the most effective of all. Some of the methods adopted by individuals like pills and other surgical procedures contain harmful consequences and do not guarantee to work permanently. Technicians who use laser in their clinics tend to get more customers because of the nature of results posted from that technology. It is only sensible that everyone fighting to acquire a good shape will go for a system that guarantees them both success and safety.

Nothing makes an individual feel young and energetic than getting a new look. Putting on the dresses you see on the magazines or with models is like a dream come true. What is better than realizing that these dresses are no longer fantasies but reality? If you will go to a good aesthetic clinic that is run by a qualified surgeon you can be sure your journey to good shape will have kicked off. Most people make the biggest mistakes of prescribing procedures for themselves instead of making consultations. The rush for good shape can make individuals to take desperate measures and later regret.

Your surgeon must be one to examine your case and prescribe the most appropriate procedure for you. They know what works best for you and the time you will need to get back in form. Some people have taken it for granted and they’ve ended up regretting highly, in fact others turning to suicidal activities to encounter stress. You certainly don’t want to be part of that so avoid it as much as you can. Heed to what your surgeon tells you and all will be well.

The search for the right aesthetic clinic to take care of your body concerns and to give you a facelift must start with realizing what you want as an individual. You can take suggestions from friends on top of searching for the clinics in Singapore and looking at their respective portfolios. Should you take a desperate measure of going to any clinic, you will be taking another step backwards because chances are you will have more problems to deal with in the near future.
