WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS

WHAT HAPPENS TO THE FAT
During your Med Contour treatment, the fat cells are removed by cavitation. The excess fat is transported through the vascular and lymphatic system to the liver. The liver does not differentiate between the fat that is fed by this method, and the fat from ingested food. Both are processed by the natural metabolic processes of the body.

IS MED CONTOUR SAFE
The device operates at the worldwide safest standard of low frequency as used in physiotherapy. The advanced design modulates this energy to make it one of the very few ultrasound devices to be FDA approved.

IS MED CONTOUR A REPLACEMENT FOR DIET
With a diet you can reduce non-specific weight but most people have pockets of fat that are not affected by diet alone. Med Contour offers a solution to this. It selectively removes fat deposits and proportions in specific areas. We have combined sensible diet advice into your Med Contour package to ensure that you get long lasting results from your treatment.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST
We have special packages available that include all treatments as well as extensive dietary support and vitamin support. Packages are arranged with two easy payments. Call us now or email us for information on our special introductory offers.

WHAT IS CELLULITE
Cellulite is a form of lipodystrophy (irregular fat accumulation). It occurs in the upper layer of the hypodermis and is caused by the increase in the number and volume of adipocytes (isolated fat cells, which move within the walls of the connective tissue) blocking the circulation of blood and lymph (impermeable, cold areas).

WHAT CAUSES CELLULITE
Hormonal factors such as estrogen and folliculine also play a role in cellulite formation. Cellulite is for the most part found in women during their hormonal changes such as puberty, pregnancy, and menopause and also whilst taking birth control pills. A woman's hormones are usually responsible for the regulation of their blood flow, fat, connective tissue and lymphatic drainage.
The fat cells between the two reserve fat layers situated under the subcutaneous fat layer dissolve into a slack network. A person's genetic makeup predicts their fat storage and metabolism in these layers which are predisposed by diet, exercise and lifestyle. These layers have no responsibility for cellulite forming on a person's body.

Several lifestyle factors can also cause cellulite, among them is drinking alcohol, lack of exercise, smoking, food additives, chemical preservatives, excess sugars and fats, and so on. Ageing is also an important factor as the tone & thickness of the connective tissue reduces with age making cellulite appear much more quickly in an older person.

The visible appearance of cellulite, the orange skin is the result of fat accumulation, which pushes the skin upwards. Cellulite is caused by fatty deposits in the connective tissue, forming the so-called "orange peel". With this, especially for women, fat storage is in fat cells in the lower skin tissue. The fat cells grow and deform the cell walls. Thus, the connective tissue loses its elasticity.
