Interview of Dr. Efis Markou in Shape June 2022
We are at the end of the strict measures of the COVID-19 pandemic, ready for the summer and all the restrictions and psychological suffering "show" in our bodies. If we want, in combination with a balanced diet and increased physical activity, to improve our image, there are treatments that "sculpt" the silhouette and contribute to the reduction of points.
The options for improving the appearance of the body
For those who are patient, radio frequencies are the ideal and most economical option. Several sessions (8-12) are required for a visible result with high satisfaction. Cellulite is reduced while simultaneously tightening the skin. They are applied to the lower limbs, buttocks, arms and torso. The treatment is painless, non-traumatic and compatible with sun therapy. The secret is in the power of the machine, an indisputable parameter for machines from advanced countries, and in the good practice of the operator. For those who want a more immediate result, HIFU and 3D Cryolipolysis technologies are recommended. A quality HIFU machine allows simultaneous skin tightening, new collagen production and lipolysis with a 3-in-1 action. Especially if it has a screen with live ultrasound, the dermatologist can act in a targeted and efficient manner (eg the DoubloTM – Hironic medical system). The treatment is painless, non-traumatic and compatible with sun therapy. Cryolipolysis is a certified method of weight loss through the elimination of subcutaneous fat. Certified machines work, according to their manufacturers, in one session, ensuring a visible reduction of local thickness.
Recent clinical study on cryolipolysis with a certified machine revealed that 89.6% were "satisfied" or "very satisfied"! In this study, there were no adverse events related to the certified device (Source: Aesthet Surg J. 2021). Cryolipolysis does not need a diet for the result. It takes place all year round and lasts about 45-90 minutes per point. Machines with more than two heads have enough power for a single session result.
