BY DR. IhAB MATTA
We all want to look our best. Thanks tocontinuing advances in medical tech-nology, treatments that were once onlyavailable to the rich and amous are nowaccessible to everybody. In the past, one
would have had to have cosmetic plasticsurgery to turn back time, but now yearscan be taken o your appearance bysimple in-oce lunchtime procedures withminimal downtime and risk.
Whether its getting rid o your wrinkles,restoring youthul volume to your ace,improving your skin texture and cellulite,eliminating unwanted hair or reducing thatrustrating mummy tummy thereis a non-invasive aordable solutionwaiting or you.
FACe: eliMinAte WrinKles.
Wa o do: Reduce sun exposure,dont smoke, and get treatment with
Botulinum toxin A.
how wok: For wrinkles created
by acial expression, such as rown
lines, crows eet or orehead
creases, Botulinum toxin A (known
as Botox) is the most eective
treatment. It works by relaxing the
muscles that create the wrinkle, so
that it no longer orms when the
muscles move. You see results in
2-10 days ater getting Botox, and
results can last up to our months,
with the results lasting longer as you
have more treatments. In the hands
o a qualied injector, results look
very natural. There is no downtime
and treatments cost anywhere rom
$250-$600 depending on how many
areas are treated.
FACe: restOre vOluMe
Wa o do: Use injectable
llers such as Restylane andRadiesse.
how wok: Restylane is a sae
non-animal stabilized hyaluronic
acid that can be injected into
the ace to restore that lost
volume. Common areas treated
are hollow temples, lips, chin,
marionette lines, smile lines
(nasolabial olds), tear troughsand most importantly, cheek
restoration and liting. By re-
infating the area, we actually lit
the sagging skin and improveeverything below. Treatment is
done at one sitting with results
lasting 6-18 months. There may
be some swelling or bruising
ater treatment, but this is easily
covered by makeup and usually
only lasts a couple o days.
Cost can range rom $500-
$3000 depending on how much
treatment is carried out persession.
JOWl/Chin/BAtWing AreA
Wa o do: Pollogen Maximus
Radiorequency treatment to tighten loose skin on the
neck, arms and below the chin.
how wok: Radiorequency delivers heat to theskin and subcutaneous tissue below. By reaching and
maintaining a specic temperature, at is released rom
the underlying at cells and skin tightening is triggered.
The Maximus st imulates col lagen product ion through
deep heating, which helps rebuild the structural
integrity o the skin. Results are seen ater the rst
treatment with peak results at 6-12 months. Most
patients require 6 sessions or optimal results.
The treatment is pain ree and any area with sk in
looseness can be treated; common areas includethe jowl, chin, neck, batwings, mummy tummy, hips
and thighs. There is no downtime and clients can
resume their normal daily routine immediately ater the
procedure. Cost is usually $200 per session or ace or
neck and $300 per session or body.

ABDOMen, hips, thighs
Wa o do: TiteFX from Body Tite, targets fat, cellulite and loose skin.
how wok: The TiteFX delivers radiofrequency energy to the area. Once the
target temperature is reached, it delivers a second energy pulse that actually
kills the at cell. The treatment is applied to a given area or 5-10 minutes and
the heating eect stimulates collagen production, which helps tighten skin,while the secondary pulse improves local at deposits and cellulite. Results are
seen ater the rst treatment or at and cel lulite, while the tightening eects
take more time and reach a peak at 6-12 months. The best areas to treat
are the abdomen (or mummy tummy), hips and thighs both or cellulite and
at. Most patients require 6 sessions. There is no downtime. Each treatment
usually costs $300 with packages available or multiple sessions.
sun DAMAgeD AreAs
On FACe, neCK, Chest
Wa o do: Fractora is a new option or patients
with ne wrinkles, brown spots or sun damage,
broken blood vessels and a general drop in skinquality.
how wok: Fractora is a ractionated
Radiorequency device that delivers heat 0.6
mm below the skins surace to improve the skin
quality. It has a series o either 20 or 60 tiny
pins that provide radiorequency energy to the
dermal region o the skin. This energy ablates
some o the dermal matrix and stimulates a
collagen response rom the body that results in
new, healthy collagen production.
The procedure eels l ike a heat sensation and
can be administered without anesthetic on a
low setting; but on higher settings, one would
need topical anaesthetic. The procedure is quite
quick and can require between 2-6 sessions
depending on desired outcome, intensity o
treatment and tolerance o downtime. Low
settings have minimal downtime, while higher
settings can be more painul, and have more
swelling. The best areas to treat are crows eet,smokers lines, below the eyes, neck, chest
and hands. Cost ranges between $200-500 per
treatment session.
unWAnteD BODyhAir
Wa o do: Laser hair removal.
how wok: Laser hair removal works by
selective photothermolysis, in other words,
the laser looks or colour in the hair shatand targets it, destroying its ability to grow
new hair. Treatment is usually perormed
every six weeks or so depending on how
ast the hair grows. When a new crop o hair
starts to grow, its time or another session.
Most patients describe the sensation as an
elastic band snapping on the skin, while
some patients (especially those with colour)
may notice a little bit more discomort.
Most clients require 6-8 sessions to achieve
an 80% or more permanent reduction
in hair. Downtime is usually negligible;
some patients may notice a small sunburn
sensation or a ew hours. Cost depends
on how large o an area is treated, ranging
rom $50/session or underarms to several
hundred or legs or back.

BY LOLA AUGUSTINE BROWNAter two years o dedicat ion and hard work, Laura, thelast woman standing in the two-year Revive Makeover,has completely changed her lie. Laura tackled the healthissues that had been holding her back, shed a signicantamount o weight and has undertaken various proceduresto help her look her best. I eel terric, she says, I haveway more condence. When I look at pictures o mysel I eellike, Wow! What a dierence! and Im so happy with howeverything worked out. It took a long time to get here, andIm proud to have achieved this.
Getting HealthyWith support rom an expert team providing nutritionalguidance and personal training, Laura went rom makingpoor dietary choices and not doing any exercise to becomingt and healthy. Laura says that her biggest challenges werending the time to exercise or eat properly. I have threechildren, aged 8, 6 and 3, so it was really hard to t thosethings in around what I needed to do or them, she says.
Giving up smoking was another challenge. I wrote a contract
with mysel and just quit cold turkey that day. There are daysthough when you get cravings, when you are around otherpeople that smoke, and that makes it hard, she says, butyou just have to stay strong.
Laura had to make major changes to her diet. As a mom,Im on the go constantly and I didnt have the greatest eatinghabits. Id grab a mun or breakast, or a cereal bar, but Iound mysel having to prepare proper breakasts, like eggs.Once I got into a routine, it wasnt that hard, she says, butat rst it was like, Oh my God, I have to eat ve times aday? and I didnt know how Id manage.
Being prepared ahead o time was key. Laura would makesnacks and have them in baggies in her purse so that shewasnt scrambling to nd something healthy to eat when out.She always had a bunch o vegetable cut up and ready to goin the ridge too.
As or working out, Laura grabs the time when she can,which is usually late at night once the kids are settled.
Everyone can nd hal an hour to exercise in the day. Eveni I dont get done til midnight, ater Ive got the kids tobed and cleaned up dinner, I make sure I work out and Ialways eel better or it, she says, adding that the little bit oquiet time alone every night has been great or her, as shewasnt always taking that time or hersel beore starting this

makeover.For Laura, workouts are always done at home using a
treadmill, ree-weights, medicine balls and stretches. Apersonal trainer helped develop an at home routine thatworked or her, and came back and upped the intensitywhen Laura needed more o a challenge.
Not that she was perect the whole way through thismakeover process, there were times when she stoppedworking out or various reasons, and then ound it hard toget back into the routine. Sometimes you all o, and youget lazy, so you have to motivate yoursel again and get back
into your routines. Over the course o the year, I ell o tracka ew times because I got sick or something, and it washard to get back on, she says. But she succeeded, and thephotographs prove that all her hard work and dedication haspaid o.
Looking GoodLaura is very, very happy with the cosmetic work that shehas had done. Im getting so many compliments. Peopleare telling me how amazing I look, and Im not embarrassed
to tell them that I had liposuction, a tummy tuck and mybreasts done. It was my choice to get those things done,and although not everybody would agree with those choices,I have no issue Im happy, she says.
This wasnt the rst time that Laura had had surgery; Shehad work done on her breasts when she was youngerbecause she had asymmetrical breasts. With each childthey got more and more asymmetrical, so when I went inthis time it wasnt as simple as just getting a lit, I needed theright side reconstructed to match the let. It eels great to be
in proportion again, because I was eeling so sel-consciousabout that, she says.
Fortunately, Laura recovered quickly rom each procedure,with minimal bruising or discomort. She is very grateul orall the support she got rom the team o experts that guidedher through her makeover experience. Everyone was justawesome, the nurses, the sta at the clinics, all the doctors,she says.
Ater transorming her body in such a huge way, Laura hashad to go buy new clothes, and says that shopping hasbeen really un. Trying stu on in the stores is a pleasure,and Laura oten has to grab a smaller size than the thinksshe needs. Im thrilled, she says, and I eel amazing.

DR. B RAY:
Laura had already completed most o thedicult work beore being seen by me. She hadachieved a stable, healthy, sustainable weightand was interested in options to improve someresistant trouble-spots.
These included several areas o persistent,
excess at contributing to a somewhat bottom-heavy appearance. Also o concern to her werethicker areas o the mid and upper back, tendingto orm bulges and rolls with her bra or certaintypes o clothing.
Our goal was to reduce these areas o excess at, tighten the skin, andcreate an overall better proportion between her upper and lower body. Ielt these goals would be best achieved with the use o BodyTiteliposuction to the areas o the bra-line, mid and lower back, love handles,and inner and outer thighs.
Laura was comortable with this plan and we went ahead, perorming the
procedure without diculty. I used the radiorequency energy o BodyT iteto melt and then gently remove at and also to raise the temperature toencourage skin-tightening. We removed approximately 3 litres o at in totalrom these combined areas and have seen a nice improvement in contour,proportion, and an overall leaner appearance.

BRUcE kRAhN:
When Laura began the makeover shehad little to no exercise experience, hada very poor diet, was a heavy smokerand was in generally poor shape.However, Laura had an incrediblypositive attitude and she genuinelywanted to improve hersel.
The program I created or Laura wasdesigned to increase her strength,fexibility and endurance withouttaking over her lie. Laura perormed
short, high intensity workouts alternating between strengthtraining and cardiovascular conditioning.
Laura has completely transormed the way she looks and the wayher body perorms. She has stopped smoking, eats a healthy,
balanced diet and exercises regularly. Her persistence anddedication to the program paid o and she looks antastic.Way to go Laura!
