The new Mommy Makeover sans surgery

Pregnancy in all its celebrated glory no doubt takes a toll on a woman’s body. After 9 months of carrying a baby to full term, there surely are some battle scars to show for it, from stretch marks, loose skin and sagging breasts. It may seem if one is to return her body to its firmer, toner form, one would have to resort to surgery. But these days with the latest aesthetics technology, the new mommy makeover can be achieved without any surgery.

Stomach

Like it or not, after pregnancy, your stomach is not going to going to be as tight as it once was. With the belly stretched out over 36 weeks, lax, loose skin is likely to occur. Effectively reduce fat in specific areas of the body with Coolshape, a method that uses cold to diminish fat cells and is known to be a great alternative to liposuction. Studies have shown that each session effectively reduce fat by up to 20%. For even better results, it’s recommended to pair Coolshape with other non-invasive fat reduction treatments such as Onda Body Magic that can help to reduce cellulite and tighten abdominal skin at the same time.

Pigmentation

Hormonal changes during pregnancy can result in the formation of brown spots and melasma on your face. Unfortunately, this occurrence doesn’t go away even after the baby is out. Melasma is a tricky condition that worsens with heat and can be exacerbated by certain lasers. When it comes to treating melasma, it’s very important to find a doctor who knows exactly what he/ she is doing.

Clinical trials have shown Pico Pigment to be successful in treating pigment disorders. This laser not only helps to lighten pigmentation, it also fades blemishes and discoloration while helping you to achieve a brighter complexion. You may need anywhere from  2 to 6 sessions with each treatment repeated every 1 to 4 weeks depending on the type and severity of your pigmentation.
