Celeb Secrets: Body Contouring

 

Do you want the REAL celebrity secrets behind getting red carpet ready… seemingly overnight? 

How do they go from baby body to beach body with literally zero effort? 

Well hold on to your seats, guys, because I’m Jen Bullock, the nurse practitioner here at Illume Aesthetics and I’m going to dish the secrets. 

It’s not airbrushing, and it’s not voodoo magic. Ladies and gentlemen… drum roll please…. we’re talking body contouring. 

What is body contouring? 

Well, there’s two primary sources of body contouring. There’s cold therapy and heat therapy!! 

Cold Therapy for Fat Reduction: 

We’ve all heard of Allergan’s CoolSculpting. They do an amazing job with their marketing and advertising. They have a rewards program associated with the fat reduction treatment. And, it’s an awesome non-invasive option. Typically, we see anywhere from 20 to 40% body reduction or fat reduction in a single treatment, with CoolSculpting. I love this treatment, but it doesn’t do a lot for addressing some of the primary concerns our patients are worried about. It doesn’t treat cellulite or sagging skin it’s strictly for obliterating fat. 

Heat Therapy for Weight Loss: 

There are minimally invasive and non-invasive options, in the land of heat therapies.  A non-invasive option is a hot stone massage, it heats the skin up to 45 degrees, blows up those fat cells, tightens the skin, AND increases circulation. It’s a lovely combination treatment with something like CoolSculpting! Our patients who have tried this combo treatment LOVE it, there’s a really high level of satisfaction. However, these patients have to come on a regular basis. It requires a series of treatments and some maintenance. 

A minimally invasive treatment for weight loss is……. *another drum roll please* 

My FAVORITE player in the field…. Profound!! This is a microneedling radio frequency heat therapy.  It does the obliteration of fat, it smooths out cellulite and tightens the skin all together. It is the number one thing in body contouring these days. It’s hot, it’s heavy, and it’s what people are doing on the red carpet.

With any heat or cold therapy treatment, it’s really important that you stay stable with your weight because we don’t want you to go all over the place on the weight scale. It also works best for people with a BMI less than 30. 

If you want the same REAL results like our celebrity populations, you can have it! You can get red-carpet-ready yourself over the course of about three months. It takes almost 12 weeks to get your maximum benefits from any of these contouring processes. Most of them are permanent. Once we destroy those fat cells, they’re gone forever. So if you want to learn more about body contouring, if you have any questions for me, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us or book a complimentary consultation.
