Benefits of a Medshape Treatment?

 

Cellulite affects about 80% of women over the age of 20 irrespective of their weight. Cellulite is caused by an accumulation of trapped toxins and displaced fats under the skin. Cellulite also leads to the skin having a lumpy and dimpled appearance similar to that of cottage cheese.

 

A MedShape Cellulite Reduction procedure helps to reduce cellulite making the skin smoother. The heat and light energy used during a Cellulite Treatment helps in building new collagen resulting in tighter and firmer skin.

 

A MedShape Treatment is a non surgical alternative to Liposuction helping to rid unwanted fat from problematic areas. It can help you feel back in shape especially after the delivery of a baby.

 

A MedShape Treatment allows you to contour your body without the use of any needle or surgery.

 

A Cellulite Removal procedure is effective on all types and colours of skin with the additional bonus of no downtime.

 

MedShape is safe and clinically proven to reduce cellulite in as few as four treatments.

​

How quickly will I notice a change?

 

Gradual improvement of the treated area can be seen following the first treatment ~ with the skin surface of the treated area feeling smoother and firmer. It is recommended to start with a course of 8 treatments which should be performed 1 week apart and maintenance treatments every three to six months.  The results are gradual and cumulative throughout a course of treatments but will result in a noticeable smoothing of skin and reduction of cellulite and improved contour. It is recommended to drink lots of water and exercise on the day of treatment to activate the process.

 

How many centimetres can I reduce from my circumference?   

 

In clinical studies, patients report an average reduction of 1 - 3 centimetres post one treatment. A recent study of post-partum patients showed 97% patient satisfaction.  

 

How does MedShape Pro work?

 

MedShape works in different ways to aid in breaking down fatty deposits and improving circulation.  We all have that one stubborn area where exercise and diet and alone won’t improve the appearance of cellulite or move the excess weight around the stomach, love handles, inner thighs or upper arms, these areas of the body have poor blood and lymphatic circulation and slow fat metabolism. During a MedShape session, the suction and massage stimulate the lipolysis and activate the fat release which is transferred into a source of energy for muscles. The infrared and RF heat the fatty tissue which results in shrinking of the fat cells and increases the blood flow improving the metabolism of stored energy.

 

The elos technology combination of infrared light, coupled radio frequency energy and vacuum causes deep heating of the fat cells, their surrounding connective tissue and the underlying dermal collagen fibres.  This type of efficient heating and vacuum stimulate the growth of new and better collagen and elastin which results in localised reduction in skin laxity, body volume and an overall improvement in skin structure and texture.

 

Is the treatment safe?

 

The treatment is very predictable and effective for all skin types and colours.  There are no reported short or long-term health effects.

 

Does it hurt?

 

Most patients find Medshape comfortable - like a warm deep tissue massage. The treatment is designed to accommodate your sensitivity and comfort level. It is normal to experience a warm sensation for a few hours post treatment.  Your skin may also appear red for several hours.
