Looking Your Best with Pre-Wedding Lipo-Ex Procedures

Your Big Day is only three months away, and yet you know it’s going to be impossible to squeeze into your gorgeous designer wedding dress without a bit of help. Unfortunately, you have tried following a proper diet and doing regular exercise for months without getting the results you wanted. You still have problem areas of stubborn fat that refuse to budge, and you are beginning to wring your hands in despair. What can you do?
Many would-be blushing brides seek surgery before their wedding day to look as beautiful as possible, thinking that pre-wedding lipo will help them look perfect on their wedding days. While that may be true, traditional lipo also carries certain health risks, not to mention the risk of scarring, lumpiness and bumpy-looking skin. The alternative, according to Dr. Alexandra F. Lambrou, medical director of Chicago’s Sculpt Medical Spa, is Lipo-Ex.
Lipo-Ex is different than traditional liposuction in that it doesn’t suck away fat, it melts it away. It heats it up using a hand-held device in a painless procedure that takes about an hour, and later the fat is naturally expelled by the body. It doesn’t hurt, it has virtually no health risks, and there is also no risk of scarring. Best of all, for people looking for cellulite reduction in the Chicago area, Lipo-Ex also minimizes the appearance of cellulite as it melts away the unwanted fat deposits, getting rid of that orange peel skin for good.
Slimming down for your wedding and looking good in your photos is vitally important for most women. Another benefit of Lipo-Ex is that it can target specific areas of the body unlike simple dieting alone, so you can choose which parts of the body you want to concentrate on. If your problem areas are your hips, thighs or abdomen, Sculpt Medical Spa can help. “A lot of women choose to wear strapless dresses on their wedding days, hoping to make their arms look nice and slender,” says Dr. Lambrou. “We do a lot of arm treatments as well, helping women to look as svelte and sleek as possible for that special day.”
Women who want pre-wedding Lipo-Ex treatments ideally should come in to Sculpt Medical Spa once a week, allowing at least eight to 12 treatments for the best effect. It’s important to keep in mind that even after the treatments are finished, some weight loss and inch loss will still occur over the next few weeks, so it’s best to leave enough time before your wedding for maximum results.
The Lipo-Ex procedure has been around for 10 years and studies show that there are no side effects–so there is no need to worry about scarring or downtime before your wedding. Some people even say that having Lipo-Ex is a great way to relax while you’re in the midst of planning your wedding. Most people find it pretty relaxing and half of all Lipo-Ex patients actually fall asleep during the procedure. So for the best fat and cellulite reduction procedures in Chicago, there’s really no need to look for anything else.
