WEIGHING IN<br />
on the body contouring conversation,<br />
Dr. Mark Lupin of Victoria, BC’s<br />
Cosmedica, gives <strong>NICHE</strong> magazine a<br />
take on Canada’s leading non-surgical<br />
fat reducing treatments.<br />
The BIG issue.<br />
Canadian men and women are as susceptible to developing<br />
pockets of unwanted and stubborn fat as any of our neighbours.<br />
This fat may seem all too resistant to diet and exercise - how rude<br />
- and may impact our wardrobe decisions, physical confidence<br />
and self-esteem.<br />
We want solutions that work without the need for restrictive diets<br />
or intense workout commitments. In my Victoria, BC practice,<br />
I meet hundreds of healthy individuals committed to living well<br />
and balanced with troublesome areas of annoying, persistent fat.<br />
They call it a muffin top, their love handles or pinch excess fat on<br />
their abdomens, lower buttocks or thighs - whatever it is, they/<br />
we want it gone.<br />
We are fortunate to live in a day and age where science and<br />
technology have evolved real and effective solutions. Today’s<br />
leading body contouring treatments have answered our desire to<br />
forego the risks of surgery and anesthesia while respecting our<br />
need for no downtime treatments that work, keep us safe and<br />
keep us in life.<br />
by Dr. Mark Lupin | dermatologist<br />
Leading the Canadian body contouring scene are three unique<br />
non-invasive technologies with varying benefits. One of the<br />
key differences between these three systems is their mechanism<br />
of action: how they select and destroy fat cells and how that<br />
mechanism can benefit or affect you in other ways.<br />
UltraShape®<br />
The first non-invasive fat-removal device to be approved by<br />
Health Canada in 2007, UltraShape can reduce your abdominal<br />
circumference (total waistline or midsection) in as little as<br />
one treatment. It can also be used to treat the thighs and hips.<br />
Patients enjoy an established safety and comfort profile as well<br />
as UltraShape’s ability to selectively target fat cells without<br />
disrupting surrounding tissues. Following treatment, there is no<br />
bruising or downtime and results tend to be noticed sooner than<br />
with other options.<br />
Mechanism of action: Mechanical disruption via acoustic<br />
ultrasonic energy (non-thermal).<br />
