on the abdomen, thighs, hips, male chests, double chins, or elsewhere
it's completely safe, painless and non-invasive
no surgery, no needles
for men and women
it really works!!
How They Work
The CryoSculpt system offers permanent removal of fat cells in targeted treatment areas. Although results can be achieved with this approach without modifying diet and exercise levels, we strongly recommend making these changes to get the best response and improve your overall health.
The LipoLED Plus treatments are completely non-invasive with no pain and no downtime. It stimulates the body’s natural process for releasing stored fat in the adipose cells. It can be used to target wider areas than the CryoScupt and is a gentler, more gradual approach. Our LipoLED Plus employs green and red wavelengths of cold “laser/LED” technology and is several times more powerful and more effective than some of the first generation laser lipolysis systems. The results of these treatments are significantly enhanced by combining it with vibratherapy which has been documented to reduce fat - including dangerous visceral abdominal fat.
Laser Acupuncture
At The Skin Centre we care about your total transformation toward a healthier you. Combining the finest of ancient knowledge and carefully researched technology - laser acupuncture for weight loss is a powerful and safe weight loss treatment that will suppress your appetite and cravings and enhance your current diet and exercise program. The process is simple, easy and comfortable with no pain, surgery, harmful stimulants or drugs.
The Science
Many studies have demonstrated that acupuncture is an effective weight loss solution. Laser acupuncture acts on the auricular branch of the vagal nerve which directly increases the tone of the stomach muscles to make you feel full AND causes an increase in serotonin levels. Serotonin is nature's own appetite suppressant. This powerful brain chemical curbs cravings, shuts off the appetite and makes you feel satisfied even if your stomach is not full. Serotonin also leads to an increase in plasma levels of β-endorphin levels which in turn mobilizes the breakdown of body fat depots and gives a sense of well being. This latter effect is very helpful to those who suffer from "emotional eating".
Laser acupuncture has also been shown to reduce blood pressure, of great significance seeing that statistics from The Bahamas Association of Primary Care Physicians (BAPCP) suggests that well over a third of the adult Bahamian population suffers from varying levels of hypertension.
Dietary and Fitness Consultations
However, it doesn't end there! We are so committed to helping you fulfill your expectations that we go beyond technology alone to help you take and keep the unwanted inches off. If required, you can benefit from customized nutrition and exercise programmes outlined by our qualified medical team.
Supplement Plan
At The Skin Centre we don't believe you should spend the better part of your day swallowing supplements. However we offer a limited number of high quality, well researched supplements that provide essential nutrients that may be lacking in your diet. These supplements can make a significant difference to your skin, weight loss program and general health.
