Summer Body Prep

20 May 2024

Let's talk Summer Body prep!

With Summer being (supposedly) around the corner, we spoke to Dr. Aggie Zatonska, Medical Director at Atelier; Art of Aesthetics, on the treatments she offers to get people feeling and looking their best for Summer, the most popular treatments, and how each treatment works.

Firstly, Dr Aggie emphasises the importance of consultations:

"It's essential to thoroughly discuss treatment limitations and manage patient expectations during consultations. By doing so, we ensure that patients have a clear understanding of what outcomes can realistically be achieved. Consultations play a crucial role in determining the most suitable treatment approach and setting achievable goals for each patient."

Combination treatments:

"One effective approach is combining treatments tailored to address individual needs. This approach not only addresses multiple concerns simultaneously but also enhances the overall effectiveness of each treatment."

Lymphopressotherapy and EMSculpt NEO

"Lymphopressotherapy stimulates lymphatic drainage, reduces water retention, and improves circulation, leading to smoother, toned skin. When combined with EMSculpt NEO, which targets muscle toning and fat reduction using electromagnetic stimulation and radio-frequency technology, this duo offers comprehensive body contouring. By incorporating these treatments into their pre-summer prep, patients can achieve optimal results whilst improving their strength and wellness."

Aggie notes that a mix of these treatments work well to tackle notoriously stubborn areas such as thighs or arms.

Profilo body and Morpheus8 body

"Profilo body treatment provides deep hydration and skin laxity, while Morpheus8 body utilises radio-frequency & micro-needling to improve skin texture, tone, and firmness. Together, they can rejuvenate and contour the body for a more youthful appearance."

Aggie notes that a mix of these treatments works well to tackle notoriously stubborn areas such as the stomach area.

What are the most popular pre-summer treatments? Among the top treatments are:

EMSculpt Neo: This cutting-edge technology combines electromagnetic muscle stimulation with radiofrequency for muscle building and fat reduction simultaneously.
Polynucleotides for décolletage: Gaining traction for their regenerative properties, these treatments promote tissue repair and improve skin elasticity, especially in the neck and décolletage.
Profhilo body injections: In demand for their ability to hydrate and firm the skin, providing a subtle yet effective rejuvenation, especially on the arms and knee area as dresses become more revealing.

"Diet and lifestyle play crucial roles alongside these treatments" says Dr Aggie, and she explains why:

Enhanced Efficacy: A balanced diet rich in nutrients supports the body’s natural healing processes, aiding in tissue repair and collagen production. This can enhance the effectiveness of treatments like Polynucleotides and Profilo. Additionally, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise and hydration, can maximise the benefits of EMSculpt NEO by promoting muscle growth and fat reduction.
Longevity of Results: Adopting a nutritious diet and healthy lifestyle habits can prolong the longevity of results achieved through treatments. Eating foods high in antioxidants, such as fruits and vegetables, can help protect the skin from environmental damage and maintain its youthful appearance. Similarly, staying hydrated and avoiding harmful habits like smoking can preserve the effects of treatments like Profilo, keeping the skin hydrated and firm for longer periods.
Overall Wellness: Integrating diet and lifestyle changes alongside treatments promotes overall wellness, contributing to both physical and mental health. A balanced diet and regular exercise not only support the body’s response to treatments but also boost energy levels, mood, and confidence.
Prevention of Future Concerns: Adopting healthy habits can also prevent future concerns and maintain the results achieved through treatments. For example, maintaining a healthy weight through diet and exercise can prevent the accumulation of excess fat, reducing the need for repeat EMSculpt NEO sessions. Similarly, protecting the skin from sun damage through sunscreen use and wearing protective clothing can help preserve the effects of treatments like Profilo and prevent premature ageing.
