THE BASICS ON FAT

During our childhood and adolescence we have a set number of fat cells that remain with us throughout our adult life. It’s the changes in the volume of the fat cell that causes our weight to rise and fall.

The problem is that fat cells are unevenly distributed among our body so while diet and exercise does reduce the size of the cells it doesn’t re-distribute them, leaving you with pockets of hard to shift areas.

This is the foundation that most fat reduction treatments are based on.

FAT HEATING

Stubborn pockets of fat are heated by laser up to 42-47C damaging the integrity of fat cells in the subcutaneous layer.

This form of fat reduction is licensed for areas including the tummy, love handles, back, inner and outer thighs and more recently the under chin area.

SculpSure takes 25 mins and 2 areas can be treated at the same time. It is reported that this method can reduce up to 24% of fat in a given area.

The main side effects that can occur, include a hot sensation which doesn’t burn but can feel pinching or tingling, bruising and firmness is also noted in the area following treatment.

Again, depending on the client 1-2 treatments are recommended with prices from A$600 per treatment. Full effects are to be noticed at 3 months.

CONCLUSION

In the next episode we catch up with our patient 3 months down the line and sit down one on one to find out how the post-treatment went and what results they experienced.

Take care and stay healthy

Did you know that type 2 diabetes can be potentially reversed?

When my patients stick to a strict healthy balanced diet and exercise program I’ve seen them naturally lower their sugar levels to a point where some of them no longer require the need for medication.

As you can imagine this is life changing and you can hopefully do the same too. Just always remember to stay on your medications, unless otherwise instructed by your medical practitioner.

For help and advice on how to do this or if you have any questions, feel free to pop by and see me in clinic.

Are you taking your pumps correctly?

Asthma affects around 2.5 million Australians - that’s 1 in every 9, and a common reason for poor control is inhaler technique.

As part of asthma week I want to make sure that all asthmatics have an up to date action plan in place. This ensures that you and others around you know what to do if your asthma worsens. So I’ll be giving you the opportunity to pop by and check your inhaler technique to make sure your getting the most out of your medication.

If you haven’t been diagnosed with asthma but have symptoms, such as breathlessness, wheezing, cough or a feeling of tightness in the chest worse in cold weather then come and see me for an examination. With the correct inhalers, asthma is easily controlled. Left alone asthma can be life threatening so it’s important that if you do have asthma you have regular check ups.

Glad to be back at work to see my lovely patients.

How do you start your day?

Before getting to work I make sure I do some exercise in the morning, from a simple jog around the block to gentle weight training followed by brekkie. That way I know I’ve started my day right!

Wishing you all a great week ahead and if you have any concerns please pop by and see me in clinic.

Take care and stay healthy x
