Dr Parmar Pleased To See Vanquish Featured On TV

July 9, 2014 by Laura Casewell

It seems the buzz around fat reduction using radiofrequency is growing as Vanquish – now available at Parmar Aesthetics – was featured on a high profile American TV show last month.

Several experts teamed up on ‘The Doctors’ to talk about Vanquish, the latest radio frequency body contouring device from BTL Aesthetics.

Dr Mitesh Parmar, owner of Parmar Aesthetics on Harley Street, said he believes the worldwide media coverage of Vanquish is all due to its unique technology.

“The results for the Vanquish speak for themselves,” Dr Parmar explained.

“I’m pleased to see the device is proving popular across the world, as in the UK we’ve seen some truly remarkable body contouring results. It’s the combination of quick and painless treatments and unrivalled levels of fat reduction for patients that make it unique.”

Because the Vanquish is responsive to the body, it doesn’t hurt or damage the skin. While it’s not an entirely suitable substitute for diet and exercise, it’s great for people who are working out and trying to change their body shape, but still have stubborn areas of fat – particularly around their tummy.

The stomach is known for being a tricky area to tone, with fat pockets hiding the muscles from the surface of the tummy, and the Vanquish can help reduce the fatty deposits and even tighten the skin. The result is a contoured, flatter stomach – but Dr Parmar is keen to point out this treatment also work on the thighs and flanks.

“While the Vanquish is unquestionably effect for giving patient’s a flatter, less fatty belly area, the device is also used to reduce the fat and contour the thighs. It’s also producing some extremely good results on love handles, a problem for many men and women, regardless of how much exercise they do.”

According to Dr Parmar, patients call the treatment ‘painless and pleasantly warm’ and see visible results after 4 sessions.

If you’d like more information on contouring the body using energy-assisted treatments like Vanquish, book a consultation at Parmar Aesthetics. Treatment times and sessions required depend on the area to be treated, and you will have your experience with Vanquish tailored specifically to your needs.

Treatment In Focus: RevLite laser from Cynosure

May 14, 2014 by Laura Casewell

Cynosure’s new FDA-cleared RevLite laser is the latest market-leader for skin lightening and treating difficult skin conditions including acne and acne scarring, fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and melasma. RevLite offers faster treatment times and 60% more power than its laser predecessors, with minimal downtime for all skin types.

Innovative PhotoAcoustic Technology Pulse results in less trauma to skin’s surface. Proprietary PhotoAcoustic action forces energy at such a high rate that molecules in the skin vibrate and shatter. This PhotoAcoustic action is worlds apart from the more traditional photothermal effect that ordinary laser systems use; resulting in minimal damage to the skin’s epidermal layer.

How does RevLite work?

The revolutionary Q-switched technology uses a pulsed beam of light and optimum power to shatter dark skin particles, which are gradually removed by the body’s natural processes. The machine’s flattop beam distributes the energy evenly over the problematic skin area or dark pigmentation encouraging it to fade and disappear over time. The energy pulsed (one billionth of a second) through the skin is faster than the relaxation time of the healthy tissue, thus minimising redness and recovery time. In fact, the pulse is so fast it provides safe and effective results even if the pigmentation has existed for decades, leaving the skin healthy and rejuvenated.

Award-winning, proven technology treats even stubborn tattoos with virtually no risk of scarring or changes to skin pigment. This versatile laser can also be used to treat birthmarks, sun damage, freckling and brown spots.

Anti-ageing Maintenance with RevLite

RevLite is the safest, fastest and most effective method for skin rejuvenation, either as a one-off treatment or as part of an on-going Anti-ageing Maintenance regime. The machine’s PhotoAcoustic shockwaves reorder the skin’s collagen into a group of collagen fibres, tightening skin and encouraging it to repair and rejuvenate itself, with no downtime.

A recent clinical study of patients treated with RevLite over 6 bi-weekly sessions, demonstrated impressive results in improving the depth and number of wrinkles, appearance of pores, number of whiteheads and skin laxity.

Cynosure’s RevLite is the latest champion in skin rejuvenation and is available at the Angel Laser Clinic. Visit www.angellaserclinic.co.uk for more information.

Top US Plastic Surgeon Says Vanquish Fat Removal Technology Is ‘a Breakthrough’.

December 19, 2013 by Laura Casewell

Dr. Nicholas Sieveking, a board-certified Nashville plastic surgeon, said he was honoured to be part of the first group of plastic surgeons in the USA to offer Vanquish, one of the latest advances in non-surgical fat reduction treatment.

The expert called the non-invasive procedure a game changer, as ‘it is the only technology of its kind to provide relatively quick, comfortable treatment and long-term results.’
Dr. Sieveking calls this technology ‘exciting’ because it has been created to successfully eliminate a larger amount of fat than any other non-surgical fat reduction technology before it. He says it can be a great option for patients who would like to eliminate excess fat from their waistlines that has been resistant to diet and exercise, with the added benefit of no surgery, scarring, or excessive downtime.

Dr. Sieveking notes that Vanquish is typically used to treat the abdomen, hips, and back.

Syneron Medical completes clinical study for the UltraShape Contour I System

October 21, 2013 by Laura Casewell

Syneron Medical Ltd, a global market leader in the aesthetic medical device marketplace, announced that it has completed the multi-site clinical study for the UltraShape Contour I System for non-invasive abdominal circumferential reduction.

The Contour I is designed to use the mechanical effects of ultrasound to disrupt fat cells non-invasively. It achieves this effect without any significant heating of the target or adjacent tissue, minimizing any impact on blood vessels, nerves, and muscle tissue outside the target area. The Contour I also provides an automatic guidance system that adjusts for patient movement for enhanced user convenience and for a high degree of safety.

In the randomized, controlled clinical study of the Contour I, which was performed in 3 clinical sites in the U.S. and one site outside the U.S., a total of 150 subjects were treated and followed-up for up to 4 months. In this multi-site study, an average abdominal circumference reduction of 2.4-3.5 cm was demonstrated. The results successfully met the primary hypothesis for clinically significant circumference reduction. Furthermore, the results demonstrated progressive improvement over time in circumference reduction, beginning after the first treatment session. No serious adverse events related to the device were reported. The treatment was administered without the need for anesthetic and was well tolerated by patients.

The Contour I received the CE mark in 2005 and is marketed in European countries, Canada, Australia, Israel, Mexico, Brazil, Uruguay, Hong Kong, Korea, Russia, Ukraine, Singapore, Taiwan, South Africa and Thailand. The Contour I has been used in 220,000 procedures worldwide, with a positive safety and effectiveness profile.
