The Beginning Of Kim's Big Make Over

Last week you read the story about Kim who arrived in the United Kingdom in July this year.

Here are a few photographs of the progress our support and the treatments we gave her that have helped here on her journey to:

• make the decision to leave her country and family to rebuild herself

• settle in Cirencester

• find work

• grieve

• make new friends

• feel positive about her choices

• regain confidence

• build a whole new life with little money

Kim felt strongly about having her non surgical face and neck lift first.

She felt the trauma she had lived through had drained her and it could be seen in her face. Working online felt difficult while she was reflecting the sadness, tiredness and feeling she was lost. She wanted to look brighter, with softer features and expressive eyes.

We used hifu to renew collagen and reshape the face and tighten and lift the skin.

Here you can see that the cheeks have lifted a bit and her nasolabial folds and marionettes are softer. The forehead is smoothing out too.

While we waited for the collagen to renew in the SMAS we turned our attention to her body.

Kim had a lot of laxity of the skin on the tummy, legs and arms. Her skin was very dry and sun damaged. She is in her late 50's so stress, lifestyle and diet will have played a part.

She felt that being in a strict lockdown during Covid had added to tummy fat so we began with fat freezing (cryolipolysis). Ceasareans and age cause the area to sag so we opted for a non surgical tummy reduction and lift with HIFU.

We used HIFU (high intensity focused ultrasound) immediately after the fat freezing to tighten the skin and lift the area.

Fat Freezing is a great confidence boost as most clients see an immediate result and enjoy further fat loss over the next 8 weeks as well. Adding HIFU means that the body area will renew collagen and the skin will tighten and lift the area as well over several months. Once the collagen renewal peaks, the treatment will work for another 6 - 12 months depending on the lifestyle of the client.

While waiting for those results we took Kim exploring the Cotswolds.

Our next blog shows the rest of Kim's make over journey, the new confidence she gains and more videos on the procedures.

Meanwhile, enjoy the video of Kim on the fat freezer and afterwards on the muscle builder! The muscle builder densifies the muscle by 19% each time it is used. It's great to help a lift sagging tummy especially after child birth. It also builds more rounded buttocks, upper arms, thighs and the back too!

The video on the right is Kim having her

tummy fat freezing and her upper arms reduced too.

An alternative to fat freezing is fat dissolving injections. We use them to body sculpt as they can be used on very small areas such as the waist, around knees and under the chin.

At this stage we think Kim was a bit bewildered.

Next week we'll be showing you how dermal fillers and anti-wrinkle treatments added the small tweaks to regain volume in the mouth area and stop the wrinkle formation letting the skin relax and smooth out.
