Vanquish Fat Reduction
If you struggle with getting rid of stubborn fat bulges that are resistant to diet and exercise, consider Vanquish fat reduction.
Vanquish utilises radiofrequency (RF) energy and employs a contactless method of deep-tissue heating to eliminate fat from trouble spots. It targets the fat cells on the treated area by raising the temperature to 40-42°C, causing fat cells in the treatment area to shrink and die. These dead fat cells are then eliminated by our body naturally through a process called apoptosis.
Areas that Vanquish can treat includes abdomen, flanks, outer and inner thighs, and arms. It is a comfortable and non-invasive treatment, and doctors recommend a treatment regime of at least four weekly sessions for optimal result. According to the study “A clinic evaluation of a next generation, non-invasive, selective radiofrequency, hands-free, body-shaping device” published in the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology (JDD), the Vanquish RF fat reduction device is medically proven to reduce fat thickness by 29% and decrease waist circumference by 4-5 cm after four weekly treatments.
Pair fat reduction with X-Wave Fat Crusher acoustic wave therapy
Doctors also recommend pairing body contouring treatments like Vanquish fat reduction or through CoolSculpting cryolipolysis (fat freezing) with X-Wave Fat Crusher, a treatment that uses acoustic wave.
This is because while cryolipolysis (CoolSculpting) or RF (Vanquish) contours the body by breaking down fat cells without damaging surrounding tissues or skin, acoustic wave therapy speeds up the absorption of these dead fat cells by the body. Acoustic wave therapy can also reduce the appearance of cellulite and improve skin tone, elasticity, and firmness.
This recommended pairing is based on various clinical papers like the one done by Dr. Jeffrey A Hunt and Holger Stork. In the report “Cryolipolysis and acoustic wave therapy” published in Prime Journal. Result showed that the group that received a combination of cryolipolysis fat reduction and acoustic wave therapy saw an average of 22% fat reduction after eight weeks of weekly acoustic sound therapy post cryolipolysis.
In comparison, the group that received only cryolipolysis fat reduction saw 12% fat reduction at the end of eight weeks.
Exilis Ultra 360 Skin Tightening
Loose and saggy skin may appear after weight lost or fat reduction, ageing, or even childbirth when the skin is stretched during pregnancy. Tackle loose skin with Exilis Ultra 360 which combines RF and ultrasound to tighten loose skin on our body.
Exilis Ultra 360 works by gently warming up the deeper layers of our skin to 45°C, causing collagen fibres to tighten and contract. At the same time, the process stimulates the generation of fresh collagen and elastin, improving skin texture and elasticity, and unveiling firmer and tighter skin. It works on our abdomen, flanks, arms, banana rolls, buttocks, hips, thighs, axillary fat, back fat, and bra fat areas, and complements weight management and fat reduction treatments.
Approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (US FDA), Exilis Ultra 360 uses its 360° of Volumetric Heating technology to target skin laxity on our body caused by the loss of connective tissue, a by-product of the natural-ageing process. In two studies done on Exilis Elite, a predecessor of Exilis Ultra 360, it is reported the Exilis skin tightening is able to reduce skin laxity by 36% and reduce wrinkles by 42%, said Dr. Robert Weiss, an associate professor of dermatology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine (Hunt Valley, Maryland) and co-author of the study “Two-treatment protocol for skin laxity using 90-watt dynamic monopolar radiofrequency device with real-time impedance monitoring”.
Tesla Muscle Former for Muscle Toning
To complete the holistic body contouring experience, Tesla Muscle Former offers targeted muscle toning and strengthening to achieve muscle definition. A healthy and fit appearance not only makes us look better, it also boosts our confidence levels.
Tesla Muscle Former utilises functional magnetic stimulation (FMS) technology to contract muscles in the treated areas to improve muscle tone and increase muscle mass. A 45 min session of Tesla Muscle Former gives us 75,000 muscle contractions which is humanly impossible when we do our strength training exercises! These contractions are more intense and are able to stimulate muscle fibres that are challenging to engage during normal exercises, enhancing muscle strength and endurance.
Popular FMS treatment area amongst Singaporeans are the abdomen area for abs definitions, and also the butt cheeks to achieve a firm and perky butt. Tesla Muscle Former can also be used to treat arms, thighs, and back muscles too.
In fact, doctors recommend that patients combine fat reduction with CoolSculpting or Vanquish with electromagnetic muscle stimulation (EMMS) devices like Tesla Muscle Former. In the clinical study “Feasibility study of electromagnetic muscle stimulation and cryolipolysis for abdominal contouring”, results revealed that cryolipolysis fat reduction combined with EMMS for muscle toning produces better circumferential reduction measurements than standalone treatments of cryolipolysis and EMMS.
According to the study published in Dermatologic Surgery, body contour improvements is greater when cryolipolysis is combined with EMMS.
Combining Vanquish, Exilis Ultra 360, X-Wave Fat Crusher, and Tesla Muscle Former for a Synergistic Body Contouring Effect
When used together, Vanquish, X-Wave Fat Crusher, Exilis Ultra 360, and Tesla Muscle Former create a synergistic effect that maximises body contouring results. The combination provides a 360° holistic approach towards body contouring for a more sculpted and confident you!
