With the festive season in full swing, it's almost time to be thinking about those New Year's resolutions once more. Mine is to actually start going to the gym. I have no excuse - I have one in my building. I can see it from my living room window. I pay for it in my rent. Yet peculiarly there is always something better to do...
Anyway if one of yours is to ditch the cellulite for good (and God knows we've all tried...) then help may be at hand. High Street Kensington's Adore Me Medspa is the first and only medspa in the UK to offer “The Coax Medical Thermolipolysis”, a treatment that uses Radiofrequency, combined with Ultrasound technology to tighten and gently lift the skin to smooth out wrinkles, dissolve fat and remove cellulite.
The incision-free procedure is fast, easy and requires no downtime from normal activities. The Coax Med system uses a sophisticated solid gel tip which delivers a controlled amount of Radiofrequency energy. Unlike lasers, the procedure can be performed on patients of all skin types. With each touch to the skin the gel tip device uniformly heats a large volume of collagen in the deeper layers of the skin and its underlying tissue while simultaneously protecting the outer layer of the skin with cooling. This deep, uniform heating causes structures deep in the skin to immediately tighten. Over time, new and remodelled collagen is produced to further tighten the skin, resulting in healthier, smoother skin and a more youthful appearance.
The machine also uses the patented technology to combine cavitational ultrasound and radiofrequency to remove fat and cellulite. Cavitational low frequency ultrasound waves propagate in skin freeing dissolved gas in the form of tiny bubbles, causing cellular and fibrosis disruption. Radiofrequency heats up fat cells, breaking them apart and sending them to the lymph nodes for the body to dispose of naturally. By reducing the number of fat cells and affecting the intra-fat structure, the treated area becomes smoother and more elastic. This revolutionary treatment can be used to tighten areas such as the face, neck, stomach and arms while targeting troublesome cellulite areas such as thighs and buttocks.
Don't be put off by the scary looking machine - it might be a little noisy but is far from uncomfortable. Treatment costs upwards of £120 per 15 minute session, depending on which part of the body and what kind of treatment you choose. For more information visit www.adore-me.co.uk
