We all worry about whether it’s too late to fix the damage already done…but is it ever too late?

Skin damage is something a lot of people don’t think about when they are outdoors. Whether it is sunbathing, swimming or just having a good time in the great outdoors, all will take its toll on your skin. Sun damaged skin can have major ramifications later on, including damage to your complexion and even skin cancer.

You can prevent damage to your skin by staying out of the sun as much as possible. Wearing protective clothing such as hats, sunglasses, t-shirts or a long sleeved shirt will also help protect your skin. Finally, make sure you always wear sunscreen and reapply after every 1to 2 hours. This will help reduce your sun exposure and help protect burning and damage.

If your skin has been exposed to the sun and the visible damage that has built up over time, may seem like it is irreversible. The truth is, it is never too late to reverse the visible signs of sun damage and you can repair your skin.

At Total Body Contouring we use the latest technologies to get beneath the skin in a non-invasive procedure to reduce the signs of skin damage. Unfortunately, we can’t help with skin cancer but we can reduce other signs of sun damage including wrinkles, age spots and scaly patches on your skin, also known as Actinic Heratosis.

Our SRA Pigmentation Reduction and Skin Resurfacing treatments are non-surgical treatments that help promote the skin’s natural healing abilities so it can repair itself. This procedure works well for those looking to reduce redness, scarring, skin damage and promote healthier skin.

It is never too late to reduce the effects of damaged skin and you will see results after just a couple of treatments. Come in and talk to our team at Total Body Contouring and book a consultation today to discuss the best skin treatment for your skin -call our team on 02 6239 7347.

Once you have had your consultation with one of our fat freezing specialists you will book your first session appointment where we will begin your first round of treatments.

On Arrival:
You will be taken into the treatment room and placed into a robe to commence your series of treatments. You will lay on a comfortable reclining bed with pillows and a blanket in a calm and relaxing environment much like going to a day spa which we have all come to know and love.

The Treatment:
You will be prepped for the procedure by having a treatment cloth laid onto the area that is to be treated and a gel applied all over to make the coolness spread and be more effective to the treatment area. This feels a little like going in for an ultrasound, the gel can be a little cool but not startling…you may even find it’s quite refreshing in the summer months.

The machine will then be placed onto the area to be treated and you will feel suction as the machine settles itself onto your skin. Depending on your treatment you may have more than one machine placed in different areas. So you can have two treatments being done at the same time such as your tummy and thighs without having to book two separate treatments. You may experience a bit of discomfort for about 2-3 minutes, mainly because it’s a sensation that is new to many of us. Most clients find it very relaxing and can easily enjoy a conversation or a magazine whilst having their treatments very shortly after commencement. It may feel like the machine isn’t doing much at all, but we assure you it is. After 8-10 weeks you will see that the fat level will be reduced by 20-30%

Once the treatment is finished and the machine first comes off, many people experience a tingling sensation or a very slight stinging for a minute or so. This is due to the body warming up again after the Cooltech machine comes off. This sensation is similar to jumping in a warm shower on a very cold day where your body adjusts to the temperature difference and only lasts a minute or two before returning back to normal.

What if I have stubborn fat that won’t be moved even after I work out?
Many clients come to us for this very reason, we all have areas of fat deposits that are deep within the tissues of our body and not even the heaviest of workouts and strict eating plans can shift it. This is what makes Cooltech so wonderful as a treatment option.
It’s non-invasive, quick, painless, and effective, affordable, there is no downtime like other more invasive and aggressive fat removal treatments. You can come in during your lunch break or after work and go back to work immediately after your treatment.

Cellulite tends to make an appearance as fat cells protrude through the tissues beneath the skin. This gives a lumpy appearance that can be related to the skin of an orange. The affected areas of this type of skin generally can be found around the thigh and buttocks areas but has been known to develop elsewhere on the body.

Hormones, genetics, diet and lifestyle all have an impact on cellulite. The obvious being that if you are unhealthy in your eating and exercise habits you are more likely to develop cellulite. However, your hormones and genetics can determine the way that you develop cellulite as well. Some people naturally have low metabolisms and distribute fat differently around the body so cellulite may be more visible.

There are ways to treat and prevent cellulite, however, and these include making healthy choices in your diet and exercise. The less fatty foods and carbs you eat the better your body will look. The same can be said for exercise, as a toned body is less likely to have cellulite appear.

Treatments are also available to help with cellulite reduction, which we offer at our clinic. Our cellulite reduction treatment promotes smoother, healthier skin with no risk of surgery. It is perfect for firming and tightening your skin as well, while reducing fat with medical grade technology.

You can book a cellulite treatment today at our Canberra weight loss clinic with technology regularly featured in Vogue and Women’s fitness magazines. All you have to do is give us a call on 02 6239 7347

There are many skin conditions that can affect your appearance and lower your self-esteem. Loads of people suffer from these types of conditions on a daily basis trying to cover up the redness in their skin with makeup, skin creams or other natural products.

Unfortunately, some skin conditions that cause redness are very hard to get rid of and even harder to cover up with just creams and foundations. Two of the most severe of these skin conditions include acne and rosacea, which cause unending strife for those who are affected. Lots of the treatments can also be the cause of the acne or make the condition worse by affecting the skin causing a reaction which makes the condition worse.

Acne appears in the form of painful red pimples on the face that can spread all over the body but are more obviously visible across the face, neck and shoulders. It is usually caused by a number of factors including stress, poor diet, being overweight and lack of exercise, as stress can help cleanse the skin of toxins. The effects of acne can be felt over time as the skin is left scarred with pits and blemishes. This results in a deep skin scarring that can not be treated with surface skin treatments like creams.

Rosacea doesn’t have any sort of relationship to acne but it can still leave people feeling very vulnerable and embarrassed. The redness caused by this skin condition has certain triggers. These triggers mainly cause redness due to the affected feeling heat, much like when people go through menopause or have kidney dysfunction. Other factors that can trigger Rosacea can be sun exposure, stress, hot weather, alcohol, emotional changes and even some medicines. Unfortunately, there is no complete cure for this condition and is thought to possibly be hereditary. However, there are ways that those affected can relieve some of the redness in their skin.

One such way is an SRA Pigmentation Reduction treatment, which we are able to provide at our Canberra skin and weight loss clinic. We offer skin treatments and services as well as weight loss management treatments to help those suffering the effects of conditions such as acne and rosacea.

The SRA Pigmentation Reduction treatment uses advanced IPL laser and radio frequency technology to rejuvenate the skin and lessen the effects of redness. It helps skin regenerate and improves tone and texture to produce smoother, vibrant and younger looking skin.
