Khanyi Mbau recently underwent a series of treatments at The Melrose Aesthetic Centre which were very prominently featured in print and TV media, such as The Real Goboza on SABC 1, Heat Magazine and True Love magazine. 
Khanyi wrote to us about her experience at The Melrose Aesthetic Centre: “I have a relatively well-shaped nose, but I wanted a bit more definition on my bridge. I decided to undergo a non-surgical rhinoplasty procedure – there is no cutting involved and only tissue fillers are used to change the shape of your nose. I liked the idea because the results aren’t permanent and the treatment not as traumatic as a surgical procedure. Initially I was a bit concerned that it might be painful but I needn’t have worried. The treatment is such a party-trick – it was over before I knew and I instantly had a better shaped nose! According to my Facebook fan-page I look like a picture of perfection and my Twitter-following has tripled. I would recommend this treatment to anybody. Your nose defines your face after all!”

Khanyi also underwent a body-sculpting procedure called Laser Lipolysis, performed by Dr Cohen. Regarding this treatment she had the following to say:
“I have a very busy schedule and don’t always have time for gym. Having a few swim wear shoots coming up, I wanted to shape my thighs and decided to undergo the Laser Lipo procedure. I must admit that I was a bit sceptical at first. I was scared about the possible pain involved and also whether I would see any difference afterwards. Once again, my fears were unfounded. I knew I would see change but I didn’t know there would be such a remarkable difference so soon! My following on Faceb

“We have both picked up so much weight and our middle daughter is getting married in November so this motivated us to do something about it. 
We have been blown away by the amazing results, first with the weight loss program (which is quick, easy, no hunger pangs – must add that the supplements are a must). Regarding Laser Lipo, the procedure was better than expected. The time flew passed and we were comfortable through the whole procedure. We where handled with love, respect and assured and informed continually through the procedure.  Wonderfully surprised.  Would we do it again? – absolutely.
The compliments do not stop. First on how much weight we have lost and also at how good we are looking.  Everyday we can see an improvement in our bodies. 
Initially we had a few concerns:  We where worried about how much pain we would endure during the procedure; how long we would  be uncomfortable, bruised, and swollen after the procedure, etc.  We had our daughter’s 21st birthday party 10 days after the op, no-one knew a thing. Between Dr Cohen and  Natalie, honesty was the policy of the day.  We where so well informed that we ran to schedule regarding the information given to us. We where a bit uncomfortable for 2 to 3 days, but our bruising was virtually gone within 10 days.  We still have slight swelling on some areas that have been worked on but each day it is better.
Naturally we’ve made a few lifestyle changes after undergoing the procedure:  Our EATING firstly.  We feel so much better when eating healthy.  Our sleeping habits are much improved and we wake up ready to start the day. We both really like what we see in the mirror and that is good because you naturally become more positive about everything.  We have dropped nearly 2 sizes in clothing and wear our clothes with confidence now.  Thank you Dr Cohen.
To Dr Cohen, Esti, Natalie, Onica and all the staff of The Melrose Aesthetic Center.  We came into the offices and received the best treatment from each one of you.  We have not experienced this “family” type of atmosphere before.  We left the clinic feeling that we have left friends behind and we thank you all for making us feel special in every possible way. Professional, loving, kind, friendly are some the words to describe this amazing team.  Thank you all.”

Over time, skin loses elasticity and gains laxity. This could be due to ageing or excessive weight gain or loss. Laser lipo uses lasers to liquefy the fat before it is removed, making it easier to vacuum out via liposuction. Lasers may also stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, which results in firmer, tighter and smoother skin.

The effectiveness of fat drainage during and after treatment is dependent on correct functioning of the lymphatic system, which is responsible for getting rid of wastes from the body. Lasers coagulate small blood vessels in the area, which translates to less bruising. You can take up normal activities directly after, as the laser lipo is totally non-evasive with no downtime.

Male and female clients have found that those hard to reduce trouble spots, such as love handles, saddlebags, and tummy bulge can be treated quite significantly within a couple of laser lipo treatments.

The laser lipo technique uses lasers to melt fat prior to its removal from the body. The liquidated fat is much easier to remove so the need for harsh suction is reduced. There are two types of laser lipo: internal and external. With external laser lipo, the laser is used outside the patient’s body before the surgery begins. With internal laser lipo, the laser is attached to the cannula (the suction device).

The addition of a laser to the liposuction table has several benefits. For example, the laser stimulates the natural production of collagen, helping to tighten the skin and reduce post-surgical sagging. Laser lipo also cauterises ruptured blood vessels to reduce bleeding and bruising.

With all of these advancements to the ways that surgeons remove fat from our bodies, it’s easy to see why laser lipo is becoming increasingly popular in both men and women from all walks of life. It’s now so easy to remove excess fat and give yourself the body you’ve always wanted with laser lipo.

Body Sculpting – Lipolysis And Laser Lipolysis

Lipolysis is a procedure where there is a breakdown of fat that is stored in fat cells, which means melting down of fat in the body through injections without any procedure. This type of body sculpting (lipolysis and laser lipolysis) works for spot reduction of fat.

Getting rid of fat seems an impossible task, but with the advancement in science, there are ways we can do something about it. Body sculpting (lipolysis and laser lipolysis) is the new term used to describe cosmetic surgery that is intended to change a person’s body contours.

As more women and men want to feel better about themselves, body sculpting (lipolysis and laser lipolysis) continue to grow in popularity. Laser lipolysis is the first and only laser-assisted lipolysis system. A tube is inserted into the skin and moved back and forth causing the fat cells to rupture and easily drain away.

Getting Rid Of Cellulite

Cellulite isn’t a dangerous condition, but it is embarrassing. It’s very common among adult women and getting rid of cellulite might seem impossible.
