• VelaShape vs. Endermologie – Which is Better?

  Date: 2010.09.03 | Category: Uncategorized | Response: 0

  

  If you have recently had liposuction or just want to lose a few inches around your waist and thighs without surgery, a cosmetic surgeon may recommend a series of body contouring treatments such as VelaShape or Endermologie. Both of these non-invasive procedures can help to tighten and tone up the skin and tissues to give you a more attractive, shapely silhouette.

   If you’re struggling with correcting loose or sagging skin, or just want to improve the tone and texture of your skin after surgery, you could be a good candidate for either treatment. But which one is better? Here’s a close look at the key benefits of both VelaShape and Endermologie for body contouring:

  The Basics About Velashape

  VelaShape is an FDA-cleared device designed to slim down the body by firming up the skin and reducing the appearance of cellulite. If you are struggling with unsightly cellulite around the thighs, buttocks and stomach, you may be a good candidate for this skin-tightening treatment.

   VelaShape is often recommended for people who have undergone liposuction surgery because it can tighten the midsection and other treated areas, while smoothing out the skin’s appearance. Most people need to undergo at least four to six treatments to see noticeable results, and must maintain a healthy lifestyle during the treatment process to achieve their desired silhouette.

  The Basics About Endermologie

  Endermologie, also known as lipomassage, is an advanced massage and cellulite treatment designed to reduce the appearance of cellulite and tighten up the skin. The clinically-proven device works by targeting areas that are holding on to stubborn fat, and also helps to tighten up loose skin. It is a noninvasive treatment, and is often recommended by for patients who have undergone liposuction or lost a lot of weight.

   A series of Endermologie sessions twice week is ideal for smoothing out the skin, losing inches and promoting overall relaxation. Some medical spas and treatment centers offer Endermologie treatments combined with deep tissue massage for better results.

  Velashape vs. Endermologie

  Both VelaShape and Endermologie offer a number of benefits for those who want to tighten and tone up the skin after surgery, or just reduce the appearance of cellulite. However, each one has its own set of benefits. VelaShape can help to tighten up the skin significantly after just a single treatment, and is an FDA-approved treatment for circumferential reduction. The treatment can slim down the body by several inches after a series of treatments, and may be beneficial for anyone who is struggling with a few extre centimeters.

   Endermologie is a deeply relaxing treatment that can also help to reduce the appearance of cellulite. However, this treatment acts more like a total body massage and can detoxify the body while tightening up the skin. This treatment may be more effective for maintaining weight loss after a healthy diet and exercise regimen, and also after surgery to improve the procedure’s results.

• How to recover after Liposuction

  Date: 2010.08.30 | Category: Uncategorized | Response: 0

  

  How Do I Recover?

  Each surgery requires specific post-operative care and your surgeon will give you all the information pertinent to your procedure/s.

  However there are some general tips that can help you get through the early post-op days as comfortably as possible:

   

   

  •Don’t expect to look fantastic right away – if you anticipate some bruising and swelling you will be mentally prepared for the initial few days.

  •Ice packs and compressors can alleviate much of the swelling and discomfort.

  •Do not use any pain medication that is not prescribed by your surgeon. If you feel the need to take anti-inflammatories you must clear this with your doctor first.

  •Recovery to the face and neck area can be greatly assisted by keeping your head elevated for two or three days after surgery. If you fail to carry out this simple procedure you could in fact prolong the recovery process and may even experience an adverse effect on the results.

  •Make sure you check how soon you may bath, shower, wash your hair etc.

  •Do not return to work or take on heavy tasks sooner than advised by your doctor. Practice patience and make the most of legitimate time off!

  •Check when you will be able to drive again. This will also be dependent on the pain medication you are taking.

  •Do not start exercising too soon, even if you feel able to. The possible injury or damage to the surgery site is not worth a few extra days off the treadmill!

  •It’s very tempting to want to laze by the pool and get a golden tan to go with your newly enhanced face or body. However, exposure to the sun after surgery can be very detrimental so keep in the shade and use a sun block with a minimum SPF of 15.

  •There are many alternative therapies that can enhance the recovery process while making you feel better emotionally. Some doctors will recommend practitioners. Even if your surgeon is not particularly in favour of complementary medicine he or she should be able to advise which therapies are safe. Always check with your surgeon first and only make use of registered practitioners.
