LOSING FOR LOV E

Non-Surgical Aesthetics
Even when we diet, exercise and live a healthy lifestyle, some pockets of
fat can be troublesome to get rid of – especially as we get older and our
metabolism slows.
We all naturally carry fat differently in the body - some of us will carry more fat
on the torso and back, while others struggle with the appearance of their hips
and thighs, and some with their stomach.
To help combat these problem areas and shape up stubborn areas, there is a
range of non-surgical aesthetic treatments we can turn to.
3D Liposuction
Sacrifice nearly every day only to see results appear very slowly, if at all. As any
personal trainer will tell you, you can’t spot-reduce with exercise. The best you
can do is work out and eat better and hope that fat falls away from the areas
that bother you most.
3D Liposuction at Elite Aesthetics (www.elite-aesthetics.co.uk) is a revolutionary
treatment in the world of non-surgical aesthetics, as it provides an easy, painless
and quick alternative to traditional liposuction. It uses a combination of five
programmes to provide an all-in-one treatment plan, designed to reduce fat as
well as reduce the appearance of cellulite and tighten skin, leaving your body
looking slimmer, younger and more toned. 3D Lipo has an increasingly popular
celebrity following – including Colleen Rooney, Amy Childs, Patsy Kensit, and
Danielle Armstrong, and has also been featured on ITV’s the Lorraine Show.
By combining four programmes, 3D Lipo is able to combat pockets of stubborn
fat, as well as excess skin and the appearance of cellulite, to create an all-in-one
treatment for fat reduction, leaving you with a body that is slim, smooth and
ready to show off for your wedding.
CoolSculpting
“Ever since CoolSculpting ushered in the era of non-surgical fat reduction when
it received FDA approval in 2010, it remains the gold standard..
“The patented cooling technology freezes fat without damaging the skin or tissue
surrounding fat cells. CoolSculpting is now able to reduce fat in virtually all of
the body’s trouble spots, including the abdomen, inner and outer thighs, and
just below the chin.”
The treatment is aimed at helping people to reduce stubborn pockets of fat, and
so works perfectly alongside healthy eating and exercise - there’s no need to wait
until you finish a weight loss programme before using it.
As Dr Sophie Shotter from Illuminate Skin & Wellness (illuminateskinclinic.co.uk)
in Kings Hill explains; “Since CoolSculpting leads to permanent fat loss, there
is no such thing as too early. Many of our patients come in between 6 and 12
months before the big day, which is perfect for us. The results take up
to 3 to 4 months to show, and some people may need a second session.”
Body Ballancer®
Body Ballancer® is a comfortable lymphatic drainage technology that can help
to reduce fluid retention and improve the appearance of cellulite. Dr Sophie
Shotter explains: “We can also combine CoolSculpting with Body Ballancer®
treatments in the lead up to your event. These treatments can be done in the
weeks leading up to the big day, and patients can even notice a difference from
a single session. Many of our patients lie back for 45 minutes whilst enjoying a
facial with their legs in the Body Ballancer® at the same time, killing two birds
with one stone.”
Commit to Change
CoolSculpting is the gold standard non-surgical body sculpting treatment. It is
FDA cleared, meaning it not only delivers results but is extremely safe as well.
As Ritu Valecha-Sood, marketing manager of Tunbridge Wells-based Bella
Vou (www.bellavou.co.uk) explains, “If your goal is to reduce a particular area of
fat (such as a muffin top), then it can be even more discouraging to make a time

Whichever plan you choose, each one will have its challenges. The key is to keep
focused and remember that you are on a journey. It doesn’t stop once you fit
into that wedding outfit – although this is a key destination – instead try to think
of it as a lifestyle change instead of a one-off goal. Reaching a healthy weight
and level of fitness, and sustaining it, will be something that will stay with you
long after your nuptials.
So add your weight and fitness to your wedding planning journals now, set your
goal, stick to it and be ready to flaunt your fabulous results on the big day!
