“I was taking strain with excess weight in my running (I compete in ½ marathons) and I thought that less weight would improve my running times.  The outcome of both the Detox & Wellness programme and the Laser Lipolysis treatment exceeded my expectation of results by far.  The healing process after Laser Lipo is very quick and I am still loosing weight on the Detox & Wellness programme.  My friends have noticed a definite visible slimness and family say I look great.
I highly recommend these treatments for the targeting of problem areas”.

Beautiful Body Contouring

If you, like most of us, have ‘problem areas’ – usually the thighs, buttocks, hips, waist and abdomen – areas with pockets of fat that just don’t seem to budge, then body contouring is what you need.  Body contouring by way of procedures such laser or injection lipolysis is highly effective, as well as being quick and painless, unlike the old-fashioned mechanically invasive method of liposuction.  Laser lipolysis involves using heat to ‘melt’ down these pockets of fat, whilst injection lipolysis involves a series of injections of a substance that breaks down fat and improves metabolism.  Both procedures stimulate collagen production and result in a new, smooth, contoured and soft shape for your body.  Contact us today to find out about body contouring techniques that work.

A client who underwent Laser Lipolysis to eliminate a double chin and sagging skin had the following to say about her experience of the procedure:
“Due to my double chin, I hated looking at my profile every time I passed a mirror. I went to see Dr Cohen at The Melrose Aesthetic Centre who recommended Laser Lipolysis. The treatment is aimed at body sculpting and very effective for the elimination of stubborn fat which doesn’t go away by any other means such as diet and exercise. It also has a firming effect on the skin overlying the treated area which would take care of the sagging skin that often accompanies a double chin. Although I was afraid that it would be painful and that it wouldn’t work, I decided to go ahead with the treatment. A few weeks after the procedure I can say that I’m so glad that I underwent this treatment – all my expectation have been met and fulfilled. It has made a huge difference in my self –confidence and the way I interact with friends, family and colleagues. I used to constantly keep my hand under my chin  when in conversation with other people, but since undergoing the Laser Lipolysis procedure I’m not shy about this area anymore. It is such a relief to be rid of something that has been bothering me for so long!!”

I was very unhappy with my rolls and bulging stomach, so I had to find a solution.
I decided to undergo the Laser Lipolysis treatment at The Melrose Aesthetic Centre as I had tried everything from gym, passive exercise machines and diets and found that nothing worked.
I wasn’t sure what to expect from the treatment, but I never had any concerns as I knew I was in very capable hands. Dr Cohen is an absolute perfectionist and very professional.
The final result of the treatment is absolutely amazing and beyond my wildest dreams. I feel great and comments from my family and friends include that I’ve lost a ton of weight and that I look amazing and very sexy. I can wear fitted clothes without being self conscious and I have a beautiful, flat stomach. Apart from the physical transformation, the treatment has done wonders for my self confidence. I am proud and very happy with the way I look.
The team at The Melrose Aesthetic Centre are very hands on and great people to deal with. Dr Cohen is always available to his patients and the concern and care given prior to, during and following the procedure was absolutely fantastic.
I will recommend this treatment to anybody who really wants to get rid of those stubborn pockets of fat that doesn’t respond to diet and exercise. Its a great body sculpting procedure!

VALENTINE’S DAY

During the month of February we think of “Valentine’s Day” – which we celebrate on the 14th.
Although the exact origin of this day is surrounded in mystery, the main school of thought is that Saint Valentine was a bishop who lived in Rome during the rule of Emperor Claudius II, in the year 270 AD. During this time the golden era of the Roman Empire was slowly coming to an end, and in an attempt to strengthen his army, the emperor banned the institution of marriage, believing that unmarried men made better soldiers. Noting the despair of young lovers who weren’t allowed to marry, St Valentine sympathized by secretly joining them in matrimony. When arrested and jailed for his unlawful behaviour, it is said that St Valentine fell in love with his jailors’ daughter and shortly before his execution on the 14th of February wrote her a farewell message, signed “From Your Valentine”.
From that day forward Valentine’s Day has been associated with love and gives us the opportunity to celebrate the beauty of love – or in our case, the love of beauty – when we get to spoil that someone special in our lives. In the right column of this newsletter you’ll find our Valentine’s gift to you…

NEW TREATMENTS

This year The Melrose Aesthetic Centre has some new products and treatments available to help make you look and feel even more special…

LASER LIPOLYSIS

The most recent addition to our range of treatments is the increasingly popular Laser Lipolysis. This body sculpting procedure is a relatively painless way of getting rid of excess centimetres in the targeted areas and will reduce fat in areas traditionally resistant to diet or exercise, such as the ‘love handles’, abdomen, thighs, arms, ankles and knees. Laser Lipolysis differs from Liposuction in that the latter uses an invasive mechanical technique to break down the fat cells and remove the tissue by suction. Laser Lipo uses a thermal effect to gently heat up and eliminate fat cells by liquefying the tissue and making it easier for the body to naturally metabolize the fat.
An additional benefit of Laser Lipolysis is that the heat of the laser stimulates the production of new collagen fibres, which results in the tightening of the skin overlying the treated area. This makes it an effective treatment in firming the skin, for example post-pregnancy.
The Laser Lipolysis procedure is performed under sterile conditions in a clinical environment which we’ve created especially for this treatment.

 

COSMELAN® DEPIGMENTATION TREATMENT

Our country has one of the most pleasant summer climates, which we regularly take advantage of by spending more time outdoors, especially over the holiday period. But being outdoors in the sun can cause excess pigmentation to develop.

Cosmelan® Depigmentation treatment is a relatively painless treatment with very little down time and is suitable for all skin phototypes. This user-friendly treatment involves the application of the Cosmelan® mask at our offices which is then simply washed off at home after a few hours. The use of the accompanying products over the next few weeks aids in further reducing and preventing the formation of pigmentation.

For more information on these and other treatments please visit our website at www.age-less.co.za. You can also phone us on
(011) 214 9940 or send an e-mail to info@age-less.co.za and one of our consultants will respond to your query.
