How do you get started?

By taking the first step in contacting The Melrose Aesthetic Centre, you will already have made a firm choice for a better and healthier lifestyle. You will be interviewed to assess your health history and what you want from the plan. Initial pain free and extremely quick testing is done and follow-up consultations and testing thereafter to monitor your well-being. You will also receive a free guide and nutritional supplements.

What does it all entail?

Bio Impedance composition analysis is performed through the use of high tech equipment to establish your exact body composition, including lean body mass and percentage of fat. The imbalances of body fat and lean body mass will then be addressed over the next few weeks. The imbalances contribute to many of the above mentioned health problems. Correcting the balance will reduce the risk of these illnesses; help you reach the perfect weight, and a healthy body.

The following are calculated through the Bio Impedance Analysis:

  • Body cell mass
  • Fat free and fat mass
  • ECM to BCM
  • Total body water
  • Total weight
  • TBW to total weight
  • Basal metabolic rate
  • Intracellular water
  • Phase angle
  • Reactance
  • Body capacitance
  • Resistance

The information collected from the analysis is used to work out the best plan for your specific body. Starting on a plan that is based on proper testing and thus correct information regarding your body, ensures greater success in reducing cholesterol, increasing metabolism, and getting the perfect balance where your body can function at an optimal level.

The Melrose Aesthetic team will assess your progress over 12 weeks and if your goals have been reached during this period, will suggest a maintenance plan. If you have not yet reached your set goals at the end of 12 weeks, you may choose to remain part of the wellness programmes until you do so. It is possible to lose the weight, reach a healthier state and enjoy life more because of an increase in energy in only three months. Contact The Melrose Aesthetic Centre to set-up an appointment as the first step in reaching your goal of a healthier, stronger and leaner body.
