Reports on your weight control treatment?

Our treatment is a conservative medical treatment which requires an initial medical evaluation in order to make decisions as to whether the patient needs any pharmacological treatment or just lifestyle changes.

Do they give pills in addition to diet?

Once the diagnosis is established at the first visit, the physician will decide if the patient is a candidate for pharmacological treatment.

What is mesotherapy for?

Mesotherapy is a technique through the skin, which consists of microinjections of a solution (the doctor will explain what type of solution and will indicate in writing) which is a means of transporting fats to take them into the mitochondria cell which is responsible for metabolizing and converting it into energy (ATP).

Is it possible to follow a dietary plan without pills and mesotherapy?

In many cases it can be done in this way, however, the doctor after issuing a diagnosis will give you the appropriate recommendations and together you will be able to reach an adequate treatment.

What treatments do you manage or is it just a dietary regimen?

In addition to the clinical and pharmacological weight control, we also have a range of appliances based on the use of various devices that help eliminate localized fat, cellulite and skin flaccidity.

What does your diet consist of?

Our dietary plan is a system focused on a metabolic technique, which unlike other treatments makes the food easier to prepare and easier to acquire in any supermarket.

APPARATOLOGY

EMSCULPT

What is EMSCULPT?

It is the first non-invasive treatment capable of generating muscle and burning fat simultaneously, through repetitive contractions in the same muscle. It is applied through high intensity focused electromagnetic fields, HIFEM (High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic). Thus, for each session approximately 20,000 supramax muscle contractions are produced, something that cannot be achieved simply by exercising. In addition, it works by strengthening the internal muscles of the abdomen, and reducing fat deposits, while in the buttocks it works by lifting and strengthening them, thus, it is possible to generate 16% of muscle and 19% of fat reduction.

In which areas is it applied?

Arms, buttocks, abdomen, legs and musculature

How long does the treatment last?

Each session lasts 20-30 minutes, while the treatment has a recommended duration of 4 sessions, scheduled 2-3 days apart. We will help you create your specialized plan for your goals.

How does EMSCULPT feel?

EMSCULPT feels like an intensive training session. Each head is divided into pulsations, adjusting its intervals in different sequences to the intensity limit of each patient, so it is painless, plus it is done on a stretcher, so you can lie back and relax while EMSCULPT does all the work.

Do you need recovery time?

With EMSCULPT you don't need any preparation or recovery time after your sessions, so you can continue with your daily activities without any problems.

When will I start to see results?

You will start to see tangible results from the first session, and permanent positive results around 2 to 4 weeks after the last session that will continue, following the treatment.

For whom is EMSCULPT ideal?

It is ideal for men and women who are not overweight, who are in good shape, but are unable to get rid of localized fat and define muscle, either by dieting or in the gym.

VELASHAPE

What is VelaShape?

VelaShape is the only device approved by the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) for its effectiveness and safety in the treatment of cellulite, localized fat, body contouring and flaccidity.

How does it work?

The VelaShape equipment has ergonomic heads with integrated sensors that measure in real time the temperature and impedance of the skin. In each application, the four technologies of the device are activated: infrared, radiofrequency, vacuum and roller massage.

The joint work of these technologies helps to increase the temperature of the tissues in a precise and deep way, reaching 3 and 15mm respectively.

The radiofrequency increases the temperature of the fat cells and the special design of the infrared electrodes, plus the absorption of the vacuum, make the heat penetrate much deeper, favoring the circulation and the drainage of the lymph. It also generates the acceleration of cellular metabolism, the accumulation of collagen, stimulates the activity of fibroblasts and remodels the extracellular matrix.

On the other hand, the roller massage facilitates blood irrigation, oxygenates the area and helps in the breakdown of fat cells.

Progressively, a generalized improvement of the texture and structure of the skin in the treated area is obtained, flaccidity is reduced, adipose panniculus is reduced and the body contour is modeled.

In what areas does VelaShape work?

Abdomen, legs, arms, thighs, buttocks, glutes.

Does it require a recovery period?

Its application does not require a period of convalescence and allows resuming normal activities at the end of the session, the technology has a selective action, without generating any injury to the surrounding tissues such as the nervous connective tissue or blood vessels.

Is it painful?

It is not painful, but rather resembles a very relaxing massage with gentle heat in the treated area. It is ideal for improving body contouring and reducing both flaccidity and localized adiposity after childbirth. It is also ideal for perfecting tissue that has previously undergone liposuction.

When will I start to see results?

From the first session you can see the changes and the final result is obtained progressively, starting with a greater smoothness and firmness in the skin until reaching the reduction of volume, tone and elimination of cellulite. It is advisable to perform an application every 15 days, but this time is variable depending on the characteristics of the patient, the problem and / or area to be treated.

COOLSCULPTING

What is Coolsculpting?

It is an innovative and non-invasive technique that allows you to reduce fat by means of sophisticated medical equipment with applicators designed to adapt to different body areas. These suction the skin where fat accumulates, then begins to lower the temperature of the skin until the fat cells are crystallized to induce a natural death. The power of the cold is constantly controlled so as not to affect other tissues, such as muscles, tendons, blood vessels, etc... The time of action will depend on the applicator used and the body area to be treated.

What is the procedure?

If you plan to try the procedure you should know that each cycle (application) lasts about 30 minutes and up to 6 can be done in the same day. Before placing the applicator in charge of suctioning and freezing the fat cells, a gel cloth is placed on the affected area to protect the skin from the cold, the muscles and tissues will not be affected, since fat cells are more vulnerable to the cold than the rest.

What areas does Coolsculpting work in?

Arm, abdomen, armpit, leg, thigh, banana roll, back, waist, hip, pectoral arm area.

Am I a candidate for Coolsculpting?

A good candidate for CoolSculpting treatment is a person who has visible bulges in certain areas of their body that they would like to get rid of.

How does coolsculpting feel?

When the controlled cooling starts, during the first few minutes you will feel totally bearable cold in the area to be treated. This sensation disappears when the area becomes numb, after about 5 to 10 minutes of treatment. You will be able to read, watch videos, work on your laptop, or even take a nap during the CoolSculpting treatment. After the treatment you will feel a slight discomfort while the area is massaged for 2 to 3 minutes. You will be able to return to your daily activities when you leave the clinic.

When will I start to see results?

Most patients begin to see the first changes 4 to 6 weeks after treatment and the most noticeable results 2 to 4 months after treatment. The body stops eliminating fat cells around 6 months after treatment. Once treated, the fat cells crystallize because we freeze them, they die and are eliminated by the body in a natural way, by lymphatic way. Once eliminated, these cells do not regenerate and if you maintain your weight and lifestyle, the results are long lasting.
