3 Quick Non-Surgical Treatments To Do Before Your Wedding

Your wedding day is probably one of the biggest and most important days of your life. That’s more added pressure to look next to flawless on the day when you tie the knot in front of your friends and family (and your partner of course!)

Starting that new diet or working out even harder is a given once that ring is on your finger. But what if you want to treat other concerns that can’t be solved through just food and exercise? Thankfully, you have plenty of non-surgical treatments that are available to you. The beauty of these procedures is that you won’t be spending your time resting and recovering—these treatments require no downtime so you can go back to planning your wedding. Read on to see what you can do about common concerns you might have and what you can do about them before your big day.

Concern #1: Wrinkles

Got some wrinkles around your eyes or lips that you’d rather not flaunt in your wedding photos? Then consider Botox injections. Botox injections paralyze and relax these lines you typically see between your brows, on your forehead and around your lips. These treatments take a few minutes to perform and will give you results that last up to 6 months. It takes up to a week for the final results of these injections to settle in. Consider getting Botox at least 1 month before your wedding date.

Concern #2: Uneven skin complexion

You want to look like a glowing and blushing bride, not a blotchy one. Unfortunately, not everyone has even and clear skin. One solution to an uneven skin complexion is intense pulsed light treatments like a FotoFacial. A FotoFacial uses radiofrequency, intense pulsed light and infrared energy to target skin concerns like brown spots, spider veins and blemishes. These treatments target the deep layer of your skin, which all leads to production of new collagen. Since you’ll see the best results after 5 treatments (each treatment should be performed 3 weeks apart), start your FotoFacials at least 4 months before your wedding.

Concern #3: Stubborn fat

Maybe all that working out and dieting isn’t giving you the results you want. Or you feel pressed for time to make noticeable changes in your body before the big day. By combining non-surgical fat reduction treatments with a healthy diet and workout regime, you’ll be sure to fit into your dress the way you want. Here are just a couple of treatments you can look into:

BodyFx

BodyFx treatments use radiofrequency energy for permanent fat reduction and cellulite improvement. The RF energy tightens the skin and high-tech voltage electrical pulses results in permanent death of unwanted fat cells. After combined treatments, patients can expect 2-6 centimetres of permanent fat reduction in the abdomen area and 3-5 centimetres of fat reduced from the inner and outer thighs. You should complete 6 treatments—each one is performed once a week. Start BodyFx treatments 2 months before your wedding. 

CoolSculpting

CoolSculpting treatments use cold temperatures to freeze and disable your fat cells. You can see 2-3 cm of fat reduction after just one treatment. You can get 2-3 CoolSculpting treatments, but keep in mind that each treatment should be performed every 6-12 weeks. A CoolSculpting treatment takes 1 hour to complete. Your final results are permanent, as long as you maintain your weight. Start CoolSculpting treatments 5 months before your wedding.

At SpaMedica, we want you to look your best whether it’s for your wedding or just because. That’s why we’re offering a Botox promotion for first-time clients. Each Botox unit is $8, a significant savings from regular pricing. Book your appointment now or call 1-877-712-8367 to look and feel beautiful on your wedding day.

CoolSculpting

This fat reduction treatment uses cold temperatures to kill fat cells in areas of unwanted fat. The device sucks fat into a chamber where the temperatures are then dropped below freezing. The fat cell's temperature drops to the point where the cell disables. It undergoes a permanent death cycle in response to the cold exposure. Up to 22% of the fat cells in the treated area will die. 

BodyFX and UltraShape are often combined during CoolSculpting treatments to enhance your permanent fat reduction. BodyFX is a radiofrequency energy-based treatment, while UltraShape uses focused ultrasound energy to reduce your fat for good.  

Dr. Mulholland says CoolSculpting is the least invasive treatment at SpaMedica's MedSpa. Most CoolSculpting patients see 2-3 centimetres of fat reduction after just one treatment.  

BodyFx

BodyFx treatments use radiofrequency energy for permanent fat reduction and cellulite improvement. The RF energy tightens the skin and high-tech voltage electrical pulses results in permanent death of unwanted fat cells. After combined treatments, patients can expect 2-6 centimetres of permanent fat reduction in the abdomen area. They can also see 3-5 centimetres of fat reduced from the inner and outer thighs.

SpaMedica's CoolSculpting Demonstration at Park Hyatt Toronto

MedSpa team: Jennifer, Danielle, Lola, Marsha and Laurel

The SpaMedica team and Dr. Mulholland were at Park Hyatt last Thursday evening on February 26 to discuss and demonstrate CoolSculpting. As well with a lot of information to learn, there were h'ordeuvres, refreshments, free consultations and gift bags to enjoy.

The event started off with Dr. Mulholland explaining how prevalent fat removal procedures are in North America now. To be specific, 200,000 liposuction procedures were performed in the U.S in 2013, according to the latest ASPS plastic surgery statistics report.  

Gift bags for the attendees! They contained skincare products, samples and coupons.

Genetics, diet and lifestyle contribute to the widening of people’s waistlines. It’s not just in North America where people have expanding waistlines—people are getting bigger in China, too. Dr. Mulholland says that since fast food is so common in China now, people are heavier than ever. Considering these changes in diet, culture and lack of exercise, fat reduction procedures like liposuction are booming.  

On the flipside, some people just have hereditary fat and can’t get rid of it regardless of diet or exercise. That’s one of the reasons why fat reduction treatments like CoolSculpting are so appealing.

What is CoolSculpting?

Dr. Mulholland speaks to Charmaine about her CoolSculpting treatments.

CoolSculpting, a non-surgical fat reduction treatment, uses cold temperatures to permanently kill fat cells from areas where there is unwanted fat. The device sucks fat into a chamber where the temperatures are then dropped below freezing.

The fat cell’s temperature drops to the point where the cell disables and undergoes a permanent death cycle in response to the cold exposure. Up to 22% of the fat cells in the treated area will die. Dr. Mulholland says it’s the least invasive treatment at SpaMedica’s MedSpa.

As long as you maintain your weight, the fat won’t come back. Sometimes after seeing they’ve lost 10 pounds, CoolSculpting patients feel motivated and want to continue losing weight. They see CoolSculpting as a catalyst to keep dropping the pounds. Dr. Mulholland says measurements for final results should be taken 6-10 weeks after treatments—he guarantees noticeable results, and if not, a complimentary treatment will be offered.

Another bonus is that if you do decide to have a surgical procedure in the future, you could put 50% of the cost you paid for CoolSculpting towards that procedure (as long as he’s not retired or dead, Dr. Mulholland quipped).

Live demonstration of CoolSculpting

Claudia shows us how CoolSculpting works.

Claudia, our senior medical aesthetician, prepped Sarah for a CoolSculpting treatment while Dr. Mulholland answered the audience’s questions. Sarah never had the treatment before so she was understandably nervous about it—but after a few minutes, she looked relaxed and comfortable. The treatments are comfortable enough that patients can work or browse on their phones and tablets, which is what Sarah did most of the time.

We were also giving away a free CoolSculpting package that night. We’ll announce who the lucky winner is this Wednesday. Overall, the evening was engaging and informative. Thanks to all of you who came out!
