EmSculpt for Arms and Legs is here!

EmSculpt® is a US FDA-Approved treatment that is proven to effectively strengthen and build muscle and burn fat, and the best part is that you don’t even need to break a sweat to do it. You just need to lie down with an EmSculpt applicator strapped to your targeted area and it induces deep muscle contractions that simultaneously build muscle and burn fat to effectively sculpt and tone the treated area.

Last year, 2018, EmSculpt burst onto the non-invasive aesthetic body sculpting scene with its original paddle-like applicators meant to target the abdominals and buttocks, but now the new smaller, curved handpieces have just been launched. The latter fits snugly around the arms and legs so you can get the same muscle building and fat burning effects for the biceps, triceps, calves and thighs.

HOW EMSCULPT WORKS

EmSculpt is a non-invasive treatment that uses HIFEM® (High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic) energy to activate supramaximal muscle contractions that can’t be achieved voluntarily. Within a 20- or 30-minute session of EmSculpt, the treated area’s muscles are worked to maximum capacity, contracting the equivalent of 20,000 reps. This intensive workout causes a strengthening and growth in muscle tissue and creates a metabolic reaction that breaks down fat.

RESULTS & OPTIMAL TREATMENT PLAN

On average, clinical studies (with over 200 participants), conducted by measuring fat and muscle using CT and MRI scans, showed measurable results after 4 sessions of EmSculpt:

19% fat reduction
16% increase in muscle mass
Increase in fat metabolism (apoptotic index increased from 19% to 92% after consistent treatments)

These clinical studies with EmSculpt® for the abdomen and buttocks treated patients for 30 minutes, twice a week for 2 weeks — a total of 4 treatments. After which, one treatment every 3-6 months is required to maintain results.

This same treatment plan applies to the treatment of arms and legs too, however, each session for arms and legs lasts for 20 minutes.

EmSculpt: $900 nett per session
Duration: 30 mins for abs and butt / 20 mins for arms and legs

3 High-tech facials to solve your skin problems

What do we all want from a facial? Better skin, generally. Even better if the effects of said facial are visible and last longer than a day. Increasingly, people expect more from their facials, that’s why nowadays, traditional facials are deemed unnecessary expenses.

“Traditional facials” refer to the basic kind that usually involves five steps – a thorough cleansing, some sort of extraction to clear comedones and detox pores, a relaxing facial (and shoulder) massage, a treatment mask and the application of topical skincare products.

These traditional facials are deemed unnecessary because more and more people feel that they can do these skincare steps by themselves, in the comfort of their own home… No need to spend money to have someone to do it for you. But that’s why this growing crowd are swapping their traditional monthly facials for less frequent but more effective medi-spa treatments that harness machine-based problem solvers like radiofrequency and ultrasound skin firming and tightening, skin-smoothing microdermabrasion, skin infusions, IPL photorejuvenation, and so on.

Here are 3 such powered-up facials you should try for various skin types and concerns:

#1. For skin dullness & dryness
HYDRAFACIAL
What it is: The original patented HydraFacial is a hydradermabrasion device that performs a three steps for your skin — cleansing, exfoliating, and infusing skin with potent treatment serums.
What it does: Hydradermabrasion is a gentler version of microdermabrasion that sucks debris out of pores while infusing skin with actives ingredients that hydrate, brighten and protect. Apart from this standard three steps, there are targeted boosters, which can help with individual skin concerns, like dark spots or fine lines and wrinkles.
The results: It’s a treatment that is super popular in Hollywood because of the instant and lasting glow it imparts.
How often should you do it: Every two to four weeks is recommended to maintain that sought-after skin glow and suppleness.
Cost: First time trial — $240 for 60min (U.P: $300) or Express HydraFacial at $ 160 for 30min (U.P: $200) / $1,500 for 10 sessions

#2. For anti-ageing concerns
EXILIS ULTRA 360 FACE
What it is: A face lifting treatment that harnesses ultrasound and radiofrequency (RF) energy for facial skin tightening, contouring and wrinkle reduction. Pairing ultrasound with RF energy enables faster heating of the skin tissue so the treatment is safer, more comfortable and more effective.
What it does: Exilis can also be done on the eyes, double chin and neck to stimulate collagen production for smoother and firmer skin texture. During the treatment, a hand piece is moved over the face, and you will feel a warm sensation as the heat energy but it doesn’t feel uncomfortable as the device has a cooling system to protect the upper skin layers, plus it constantly monitors the skin’s temperature and adjusts accordingly.
The results: You might be able to see subtle visible improvements from the second treatment session; however, it is common to see improvements up to 6 months later.
How often should you do it? The recommended number of treatments is between two to four sessions and are usually scheduled one to two weeks apart.
Cost: First time trial — $300 for 30min (U.P: $400) / $2,000 for 10 sessions

#3. For acne-prone skin & dryness
PURIFYING LIGHT FACIAL
What it is: This facial uses the iClearXL® FDA approved machine that delivers light energy to treat acne-prone skin. LED blue light therapy that is UV free helps to effectively destroy acne-causing bacteria quickly and easily, simply by shining the light diodes on the face. The treatment will not harm to the skin.
What it does: The blue light makes for a toxic environment for acne-causing bacteria, thus killing it and controlling oil production. The treatment is completed with a customised serum to balance the skin and reduce the likelihood of an acne-breakout. You can relax comfortably on the bed during light application.
The results: Pores are unclogged and blackheads are lessened. It also clams inflammation and aggressive acne, regulate sebum so that skin is less oily and prone to breakouts.
How often should you do it? Twice a week for 4 weeks until active acne is cleared up.
Cost: First time trial — $160 for 60min (U.P: $200) / $1,500 for 10 sessions

Don't Let Acne Rob You Of Your Self-Esteem

If you are struggling with acne issues, you are not alone. Famous celebrities like Katy Perry, Cameron Diaz and Miley Cyrus are just like us and they struggle with a variety of acne woes. So it’s important to not let acne rob you of your self-esteem as there are many treatments and products out there that can help deal with monthly hormonal breakouts or constant flare-ups of cystic acne.

Acne appears when a pore in our skin clogs. This clog begins with dead skin cells. Normally, dead skin cells rise to surface of the pore, and the body sheds the cells. When the body starts to make lots of sebum (see-bum), oil that keeps our skin from drying out, the dead skin cells can stick together inside the pore. Instead of rising to the surface, the cells become trapped inside the pore.

Sometimes bacteria that live on our skin, p. acnes, also get inside the clogged pore. Inside the pore, the bacteria have a perfect environment for multiplying very quickly. With loads of bacteria inside, the pore becomes inflamed (red and swollen). If the inflammation goes deep into the skin, an acne cyst or nodule appears.

For those who are looking to get rid of acne, they should take a 3-step approach to ensure their acne problem is under control.

01. Exfoliate Exfoliate Exfoliate

Unclogging pores can come in the form of peels or microdermabrasion or extraction. The key purpose of doing is to dry up oil glands, exfoliate and unclog pores from inside out.

02. Eliminate and kill the bacteria

Use blue light technology or purifying serums to target acne-causing bacteria. Excellent for patients who want to reduce acne, control acne, or lower sebum production, without medication and downtime.

03. Ice, Ice Baby

If you really must do something about your pimple beyond washing your face and spot treating, ice or a cold compress can help reduce swelling. Wrap an ice cube or the compress in a soft tissue or cloth and apply it to your zit for 20-30 seconds at a time, a few times a day.

04. Avoid Skincare Products That Contain Oil

Use non-comedogenic or oil-free products that contain salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide.
