new treatment to my practice, it is always a carefully selected,
evidence-based decision. We have two machines and therefore
have the facility to “Dual Sculpt” by simultaneously positioning the
fat freezing applicators in different areas. This is much more time
efficient for the patient, particularly those having multiple areas
for extensive body contouring. CoolSculpting has been proven
to permanently reduce fat cells in a treated area by up to 29%.
Generation X et Y
Millennial women in my practice are keen to achieve body
transformation - significant slimming around the waist, starting
under the rib cage and to emphasise the width and curve of
the hip.
Gen X women seek not as radical a change, but as they are
becoming increasingly more health-conscious at large they
often are seeking a shaping improvement that compliments their
fitness regime. Treating saddlebags in the outer thighs and upper
abdominal overhang is common so they can feel more confident
in tight clothing such as yoga pants and of course at the beach.
Women of the Baby Boomer generation complain to me that after
pregnancy, menopause and the stress of their careers or family
life, that these factors all play a part in their body shape. Excess
back fat and deposition of central abdominal fat are the most
common treatment areas in my clinic for these patients.
The global beauty research that we performed in 2019
demonstrated that abdominal fat reduction was the most
common concern of all patients.
We have found that Generation Z women are the most health
conscious of all and whilst they may not want the more extreme
body contouring aesthetic of the millennial they are tying in
their goals closely with not only their overall physical health but
also mental health and their consumption on the environment.
What about men?
Certainly men are firm favourites of fat removal procedures. We
have seen that the most popular areas are double chin fat removal,
upper and lower abdominal and the flanks. Men irrelevant of age
do not like an overhang on their belt line at the sides so love
handle reduction is an extremely popular treatment.
elles associent étroitement leurs objectifs non seulement à leur
santé physique globale, mais aussi à leur santé mentale et à
l’impact de leur consommation sur l’environnement.
Qu’en est-il des hommes ?
Les hommes sont de fervents adeptes du body contouring. Les
zones à traiter les plus sollicitées sont le double menton, le
haut et le bas de l’abdomen et les côtes. Les hommes, quel que
soit leur âge, n’aiment pas avoir de bourrelets au niveau de la
ceinture : la réduction des poignées d’amour est ainsi devenue
un traitement extrêmement populaire.
De nombreuses études ont montré que la médecine esthétique
améliore l’image de soi. Ces observations m’ont incitée à traiter
mes patients avec des techniques sûres et efficaces. Mon
objectif : leur donner confiance.
Cosmetic procedures have been shown in multiple studies
to improve self-image in a positive way. This is what drives
me to treat my patients with the safest and most efficacious
techniques available-so that they can feel the most confident in
the body they have been blessed with.
