All mums always say that having a baby is one of the most exciting and enriching experiences. But we sometimes forget that pregnancy puts women through a lot of changes regarding their body and emotions. Their body becomes different and there are some body areas that they struggle to restore after childbirth. Their tummy is bigger because of weight gain, their breasts are bigger, smaller or saggier, or they have saggy skin or excess fat deposits in other body areas. They also develop stretch marks which are not easy to get rid of.

If you can relate to these changes and have a desire to restore your pre-baby body Mummy Makeover surgical procedure is something to consider. This procedure targets all your problematic body areas and improves them through liposuction, body contouring, breast augmentation or reduction and tummy tuck procedure. It can contour the waist, hips, arms or thighs and the main goal is to restore your body as it was before pregnancy and childbirth.

After this surgery, you will feel like a new woman or like a woman you used to be -you will restore your radiance and achieve results that will put your body inharmony again.

‍

MUMMY MAKEOVER IS VERSATILE AND THEREFORE PERSONALIZED

This is a great benefit of this surgery – you can decide to have a combination of procedures to improve body areas that you are not satisfied with. Every woman is different and has different body types or body issues. So each Mummy Makeover is customized for every patient’s need, goals and her own “makeover”. There is no one-fit-Mummy Makeover. With the help of an experienced and creative plastic surgeon, you can bring your body back to shape and additionally remove stretch marks, make your skin firmer and restore your skin’s elasticity.

Having a thorough consultation with your plastic surgeon is crucial. You can express your wishes about which body parts you wish to enhance and the surgeon can advise you on which procedures you can have to achieve the desired results. You can discuss the amount of restoration you wish to achieve, where you wish the incisions to be placed, or do you prefer breast implants or other alternatives for breast augmentation for example.

Mummy Makeover usually involves Breast improvement and Tummy tuck, but you don’t have to stop there. You can also choose to have an arm lift, thigh lift or buttocks enhancement.

BREAST SURGERY – ENHANCE YOUR CLEAVAGE

Mummy Makeover often consists of breast surgery. Breasts are body areas that can get significantly changed during pregnancy and after breastfeeding.

 They can become deflated, they can appear uneven or get too big because of weight gain. Especially nipples get stretched and distorted and breasts appear too heavy and asymmetrical.

You can decide to get breast implants and restore the lost volume.

On the other hand, if your breasts become too saggy and have too much stretched skin, then the best solution for you would be breast lift surgery. This procedure will address weak and sagging breast tissue and restore your breasts’ firmness, perkiness and return them to a higher and more youthful position.

You can even combine the two procedures -breast implants plus breast lift will create a youthful-looking appearance of your breasts again.

Finally, if you are left with large breasts that look disproportionate to the rest of your body, breast reduction surgery can reduce the size of your breasts and make them appear more balanced.

If you are bothered with incisions, don’t be. They are strategically placed underneath your breasts and are practically invisible.

No matter which issue you have with your breasts, Lucia’s plastic surgeons will use all their expertise to achieve the best results for you. Your breasts will get firm, symmetrical and shapely as they once were.

TUMMY TUCK – FEEL GOOD IN YOUR SKIN AGAIN

The Tummy Tuck procedure can be next on your list for a makeover. Pregnancy and childbirth can separate the abdominal muscles and leave you with a bulge on the abdominal wall. Fluctuating weight and loose muscles can make you feel not at your best after your baby comes into the world. Sometimes if you work hard, you can return to your previous weight but you are still left with saggy skin and weak muscles.

Also, you may have extra fat deposits around your waist and stomach. This extra fat just simply won’t go away no matter how much you exercise or keep a proper diet.

Liposuction is the best way to eliminate excess fat, but what about loose muscles or saggy skin? Liposuction can’t solve these issues. But luckily, the Tummy Tuck procedure can. It removes excess fat, tightens the muscles and eliminates loose skin. You can choose to have a mini or a full Tummy Tuck – it all depends on your needs. With mini Tummy Tuck, you can address saggy skin below your navel. With full Tummy Tuck, you can address your full abdomen and make it flatter and firmer.  Muscles underneath your skin get decentralized and appear better contoured. Don’t worry about the incisions -they are placed just under the bikini line and won’t be even noticed.

The Tummy Tuck procedure removes your stretchmarks, firms your abdominal skin and creates an overall slimmer silhouette. One more advantage of this surgery is that it can improve your posture, strengthen your abdominal muscles and overall ergonomics – get ready to feel awesome when wearing bikinis again.

LIPOSUCTION – IMPROVE YOUR BODY CONTOURS

Liposuction is often a part of Mummy Makeover because it can help you to sculpt other parts of your body apart from the abdomen. It’s the best solution for those persistent fat pockets that occurred in different body areas after pregnancy and simply won’t go away. It can even eliminate fat in hard-reachable places like your neck or above your knees. After liposuction, you won’t be bothered anymore about unattractive fat bulges.

It can remove stubborn fat deposits from your waist, thighs, arms or hips. It is fast and effective and it blasts off the unwanted fat. There are some advanced techniques for liposuction that don’t have to be so invasive or painful. A good example of this is Tumescent Lipo which is done with local anesthesia and guarantees faster recovery. Or there are ultrasound-guided or laser-assisted liposuctions as well. So very quickly and with short downtime you can be back on your feet again but with a firmer body and better contours.

SAVE TIME AND RECOVER FAST WITH A MUMMY MAKEOVER

Since Mummy Makeover is a combination of plastic surgeries, it is performed all at once. It is one procedure with multiple benefits. The surgery lasts a bit longer, but after a day you are free to go home and relax. If you are a busy mom with more kids, one period of recovery will save you time. The recovery period is typically from 4 to 6 weeks and then a whole new life-changing period starts for you. Of course, you can choose to have these surgeries separately because of different reasons but then you need to hassle with multiple consultations and longer recovery. Also, if you do it all at once, you get a single round of anesthesia and reduce the undesirable side effects. If you do it all at once you also recover only once.

It is definitely better to achieve your goal during one operation. You will achieve more dramatic results and see the biggest change in a short period of time. And the results will be fantastic -your breasts will be firmer and nicely shaped, your abdomen will be slimmer and free of excess saggy skin, your arms will be lifted and your thighs, hips, buttocks and waist will be slimmer and smoother. Your goal to restore your pre-baby body shape will be fulfilled. Just imagine the rise in your confidence when you look yourself in the mirror and wear clothes you wore before pregnancy. It truly is a huge difference when you feel satisfied with your body- you feel happier and your sense of wellbeing is improved.

REVITALIZE YOUR BODY WITH MUMMY MAKEOVER

Let’s be honest – during pregnancy, your body has done some wonderful things for the baby. But now, when your children are older and you have finished planning a family it’s time to do something for yourself. Looking in the mirror and not seeing your beauty but just your body issues can really diminish your self-confidence. With Mummy Makeover you will be able to see yourself as you really are – radiant with vitality and beaming with self-confidence.

With Mummy Makeover you can refresh your skin that has been affected by stretching or hormonal changes. Your skin can get firm again without pigmentation and stretch marks. When the excess skin is removed, your body will be fitter and better sculpted. After this procedure, you will find clothes that actually fit you. You will start shopping for smaller sizes.

The results of Mummy Makeover are really natural-looking and long-lasting. Of course, it is always best to keep with your healthy lifestyle habits like exercising regularly or eating a balanced diet. This way you will maintain the results for a really long time. You can start exercising once your body fully heals and by exercising you will enhance the results even further.

‍

REMOVE EXCESS FAT WITH LUCIA’S TUMESCENT LIPOSUCTION

The future of liposuction has arrived at Lucia Clinic. Tumescent liposuction is becoming a gold standard in the world of plastic surgery. It is absolutely effective in the removal of excess fat but it doesn’t require general anesthesia like other surgeries. With the help of this procedure, you can contour your body with just local anesthesia which means faster recovery and fewer side effects. Your plastic surgeon injects tumescent fluid into the targeted area to numb, firm and prevent excessive bleeding. Also, it helps your plastic surgeon to precisely remove the stubborn fat deposits without too much harm to the surrounding tissue. Forget about not being able to sculpt your body areas no matter how much you exercise or keep a proper diet – Tumescent lipo will do it for you!

GO HOME THE SAME DAY AFTER TUMESCENT LIPOSUCTION

This is a benefit that can’t be disregarded. We all know that after surgery, patients need to stay in the hospital at least for a few days. But it’s different with Tumescent lipo. The surgeon makes tiny incisions before he performs this surgery and after the surgery, he just compresses them – there is no need for stitches. So you recover much faster and can return to your daily routine after just 3 days. There is no need to take too much time off work or avoid having social interaction. In the end, when your incisions completely heal, they are practically invisible so you will forget that you have ever had this kind of procedure. But your body contours will remain slimmer and smoother.

EXPERIENCE TUMESCENT LIPO’S VERSATILITY AND CONTOUR DIFFERENT BODY AREAS

Tumescent lipo can bring you smooth skin and a better-sculpted body even in the small and hard reachable areas. This includes a double chin, your arms or above your knees. Also, you can eliminate fat from larger body areas like thighs, legs, abdomen or breasts. It’s all up to you -after your consultation with Lucia’s plastic surgeon you can look forward to achieving ideal body proportions for your weight or type of the body. Since this surgery is done under local anesthesia, you don’t feel any pain but you can help your surgeon to reach all stubborn fat – all you have to do is change your position, move a little or turn. The surgeon uses very tiny tubes or microcannulas to remove the fat and he doesn’t harm other tissue. Remember that this is not possible with traditional liposuction. Again, with this technique, Tumescent lipo is done with great precision and therefore you can expect great results, a faster recovery period and less discomfort.

KEEP YOUR NEW BODY SILHOUETTE FOREVER

Finally, this is the major reason why you are considering Tumescent liposuction – long-lasting results. Once those fat deposits are removed they don’t come back. You achieve better-defined and more balanced contours for good. This will greatly motivate you to keep up with your healthy lifestyle habits and avoid gaining weight. You will put your fitness and nutrition regime on a new level. But you will change your life in one important way – you won’t be bothered anymore with stubborn fat on your thighs or arms that simply won’t go away in the traditional way. That’s what’s awesome about Tumescent lipo – it eliminates fat precisely from areas that make you feel self-conscious about your body.

Another plastic surgery you can consider this June is Breast Augmentation.

GET THE DESIRED APPEARANCE OF YOUR BREASTS WITH LUCIA’S BREAST AUGMENTATION SURGERY

This special offer is just for the ladies. Just imagine – with the desired and proper size of your breasts, you can finally feel confident about your body proportions. With this plastic surgery, you can make your breasts larger, but also more even, more balanced and more projected. This surgery brings you a better-curved silhouette and definitely more confidence when wearing close-fitting clothes or swimsuits.

ADD MORE VOLUME TO YOUR BREASTS WITH THE LATEST GENERATION OF BREAST IMPLANTS

The thing that makes this surgery very effective is the versatility of breast implants. This means that no matter what size of breast or body type you have, you can get implants that will suit you perfectly. Just decide how much volume you wish to add to your breasts and have a consultation with the plastic surgeon. Lucia’s plastic surgeon will use all his expertise and creativity to recommend the best implants regarding their size, type and texture. You can even see what your breasts will look like before the surgery because you can try implants by putting them in your bra or getting a 3D image. Remember – it’s your and your plastic surgeon’s goal to achieve the best results.

ACHIEVE NOTHING BUT NATURAL-LOOKING RESULTS WITH BREAST AUGMENTATION SURGERY

When you choose breast implants that will suit you the best, you can stay assured that they will be of the highest quality. And when they are best they bring you of course the best results. This means that you will add more projection and volume to your breasts but they will be completely natural-looking and in tune with the rest of your body. One super important fact about these implants is that they are really long-lasting – you don’t have to change them every 10 years. Let’s face it – this keeps you from having another surgery where you remove the implants. This generation of implants can stay in your breasts practically forever. That’s how advanced, safe and effective they are.

GET YOUR BREAST AUGMENTATION SURGERY AT LUCIA CLINIC AND SHORTEN THE RECOVERY PERIOD

You are probably thinking that any type of surgery requires a long recovery period. But that’s not the case here. Getting a breast augmentation at Lucia Clinic will definitely put you back on your feet in just 6 weeks. The secret is in a special technique that Lucia’s plastic surgeon uses in this operation. His skill and wonderful patient care will help you overcome all the setbacks of recovery. Just follow all his instructions and you can resume all your daily activities very soon. You can even return to playing sports – of course at a slower pace at the beginning. After the recovery period, you will finally be able able to enjoy your new and enhanced breasts that contribute to your beauty.

And finally, this June you can consider having Upper Eyelid lift surgery.

EXPERIENCE FUNCTIONAL AND AESTHETIC BENEFITS OF LUCIA’S UPPER EYELIDLIFT SURGERY

Upper eyelid lift surgery is one of the most popular procedures. It has a lot of advantages – you can restore a more youthful-looking appearance and improve your vision. It doesn’t require a long recovery – you can continue with your normal daily routine in just 2 weeks. This surgery can benefit both men and women – your eyes will look refreshed and rejuvenated in no time.

‍

RESTORE THE YOUTHFUL AND RESTED APPEARANCE OF YOUR FACE

With Eyelid lift surgery you can rejuvenate your face, and remove aging signs and tired appearance. During the surgery, the doctor removes excess fat and sculpts the eyelid so that you get a more alert look in your eyes. Before the surgery, the doctor takes into the account position of your eyebrows and keeps the balance between them and your eyes. The final result will be enhanced eye shape but in a completely natural-looking way. This surgery is done in a minimally invasive way so you don’t have to worry about a long recovery period.

ELIMINATE FINE LINES ON THE OUTER CORNERS OF YOUR EYES

This plastic surgery can reduce fine lines around the corners of your upper eyelids. When the lid is lifted and excess skin around the eyes is removed, your eyes will appear more open and the skin around your eyes will be smoother and firmer. There are some other great benefits of this surgery apart from reducing fine lines – you can reduce skin irritations that appear from excess skin folds on your upper eyelid or you make your forehead muscle more relaxed because they don’t have to strain so much anymore to lift the saggy skin on your upper eyelids. Once the excess skin is removed your eyelids won’t be so heavy anymore.

‍

IMPROVE YOUR VISION BY EXPANDING YOUR LINE OF SIGHT

This is one of the greatest benefits of this surgery. Apart from the aesthetic reason, you can consider having Upper Eyelid lift to improve your vision. If you have too much excess skin that is drooping over your eyelashes, you can experience difficulties when using your peripheral vision. With this surgery, you can eliminate excess skin that is causing your poor eyesight. So apart from getting an improved and more youthful appearance, you can improve your vision as well. Of course, after a thorough consultation with Lucia’s surgeon, you will be sure that this surgery is the best solution for the problems in your vision. Since this is a minimally invasive surgery you will soon be able to enjoy its benefits.

Fat grafting – a brilliant procedure that can help you feel great about the way you look especially when it comes to your rear end and your face. A healthy lifestyle like a proper diet and regular exercise keeps you fit and healthy but it’s not your decision where your body will store or lose the fat. It’s out of your control because you can’t fight genetics. When it comes to your overall body structure, genetics rule. You can target your gluteus maximus with exercise and make it firm and toned, but that’s all.

This is where the fat grafting procedure kicks in – you can finally create a perfect shape of your buttocks with Brazilian butt lift. Or you can enhance your facial features with full face rejuvenation and remove age signs or scars and restore facial volume and plumpness. Let’s dive into more details about Brazilian butt lift first.

‍

BRAZILIAN BUTT LIFT – A NEW STANDARD OF ATTRACTIVENESS

How do you imagine your buttocks – higher, curvier, more voluptuous, rounder or firmer? Whichever shape sounds appealing to you, you can achieve it with Brazilian butt lift or BBL procedure. The result will be a natural-looking and nicely enhanced backside. Your buttocks won’t be flat or small anymore, you will fill out your curves and your jeans.

Why is BBL a win-win procedure? Because it involves harvesting excess fat from one area of your body and injecting it into your buttocks. So you can make your stomach, hips or thighs slimmer and then make your bottom more enhanced. That’s what’s great about this surgery -you get two benefits from a single procedure.

How will you know that BBL is right for you? Easily – you have a consultation with Lucia’s plastic surgeon. With his expertise and an eye for art, you can create the best procedure plan together. The doctor will decide from which body area he will harvest the fat (so you need to have a bit of excess fat in that area) and check if you are in good overall health. One more requirement – you need to have good skin elasticity on your backside, because BBL surgery won’t firm your skin there.

How is BBL different from other plastic surgeries? The biggest difference and benefit is in the fact that your own excess fat from one area of the body is used to improve the other area. Liposuction is the first step. The doctor harvests the fat from your donor site and that site is immediately slimmer – this is the first benefit. Then the doctor purifies the fat and finally takes the second step -he injects the fat into your buttocks and makes it rounder, more volumized, lifted and beautifully shaped. And voila – the surgery is done and you can go home right away (unless otherwise advised).

What can BBL do for you? It can do so much. Prepare for the bikini season with this surgery. Let’s see what you get from this procedure.

Better-balanced silhouette – You indeed consider somebody attractive if he/she has good proportions. Saying that somebody has a beautiful body means that their body is balanced. It doesn’t matter if you have a pear-shaped, hourglass-shaped or apple-shaped silhouette because balance is the key. BBL procedure improves your body proportions and creates proper symmetry.

It completely looks and feels natural – This is because your own fat is used in this procedure. There are no fillers or implants. You will keep your improved proportions even if you exercise or fluctuate in weight.

It reduces cellulite – This is an awesome advantage of BBL because it reduces the cottage cheese dimples on your buttocks or hips. Since it increases the volume of your rear end it also smooths and firms your skin.

You can wear more flattering clothes – Do dresses or pants just hang on you? BBL will solve this by filling out your clothes and giving you a more attractive look. Your waist will appear smaller once you get wider hips so your dresses will show an hourglass-shaped figure.

So, are you ready to return your confidence and feel great about your new body contours? BBL surgery is ideal for you then.

Now let’s turn to fat grafting surgery that enhances your facial features and restores the lost volume.

‍

FAT GRAFTING FOR FULL FACE REJUVENATION- HOW YOUR OWN FAT CAN MAKE YOU LOOK YOUNGER

Let’s start by saying that aging is inevitable and the struggle against it has its shortcomings. We all age and lose collagen and elastin and underlying fat tissue. Our skin starts to get thinner and we lose muscle tone. This is especially visible on our faces – we lose fullness and get saggy skin and wrinkles. In this aging process, it definitely isn’t helpful that our faces are the first thing people notice.

But there are ways to fight against aging signs –  fat grafting is one of them. It is an awesome surgical procedure for restoring facial fullness and eliminating those unwanted wrinkles. It provides you with long-lasting and more importantly completely natural-looking results. Even though it is surgery it is less invasive than some other procedures and can even be performed under local anesthesia. This is a huge plus for you because the downtime is significantly reduced and of course, the side effects are minimal.

Let’s see why Fat grafting for full face rejuvenation is the thing you were looking for.

What results can you expect from full face rejuvenation? Well, first of all, long-lasting. This procedure is different from BBL because only a small amount of fat is harvested from your donor site and injected into strategically chosen facial areas. The fat integrates with already present fat underneath your skin and becomes a part of your facial contours. When the downtime finishes, you will see that your face has more volume and appears youthful again. The effects of this procedure can be seen from 5 to 10 years -you must admit that this is much longer than the results achieved by some other rejuvenation procedures.  Secondly, the results are completely natural. You still look like yourself, there aren’t any overly dramatic changes but still, your face is refreshed and radiant and that is what you actually expect from this procedure.

How can Fat grafting improve saggy skin? We can certainly say that saggy skin on the face is really hard to improve. We can blame it on gravity but there are other reasons why saggy skin starts to develop. As we age we drastically lose collagen fibers, particularly in the lower part of the face. But if you have mild to moderate saggy skin, fat grafting can restore the lost volume and subtly lift your skin.

How is Fat grafting for full face rejuvenation different from other surgical procedures? The first thing that differentiates this procedure from others is that it is only minimally invasive. The liposuction part of this procedure can be performed with tumescent liposuction which is done under local anesthesia and doesn’t hurt at all. Also, the incisions at the donor site are very small and leave minimal to no scars. One more thing – the doctor injects the harvested fat into your facial areas so precisely, that there is no chance that the injection sites will be noticeable.

Why is fat grafting less risky? Because the procedure involves using your own fat cells so there is a minimal risk of unwanted reactions like infection or allergy. This could be why this procedure is so popular – you don’t have to worry about safety. Also, if the procedure is done with local anesthesia, there are no side effects that are connected to general anesthesia. When the surgery is over you can go home straight away – another plus for fat grafting.

What facial areas can you rejuvenate with Fat grafting? You can enhance sunken cheeks, fill out hollow temples, lift your eyebrows and upper eyelids and so much more. You can eliminate Nasolabial and Marionette lines, boost your lips and improve the look of your chin and jawline. There is another brilliant benefit of this procedure – it can make acne and other scars less visible. Fat has therapeutic effects and can heal wounds with its stem cells. Your face will look fresh and plump again – all thanks to Fat grafting treatment.

How will you know that Fat grafting for full face rejuvenation is the right procedure for you? Again very easily – you will have a consultation with Lucia’s plastic surgeon. Overall, you need to be healthy and you need to have excess fat on other body areas from which the surgeon will harvest fat. If you get the green light from your surgeon, then together you can create a tailor-made treatment plan that will work just for you. This procedure really shows the artistic touch that the surgeon must have – he strategically and precisely injects the harvested fat into the facial features you wish to enhance. When the treatment finishes, your face might appear swollen but this is completely normal – after a short period of time your body reabsorbs some of the fat and then everything settles in its place. After this, you will see how much your face is rejuvenated, plumper and youthful-looking.

‍

FAT GRAFTING OFFERS YOU A UNIQUE APPROACH TO AESTHETIC PROCEDURES

The results of your fat grafting procedures will make people say – You look awesome, what’s your secret? This is because you will look rejuvenated but still keep your natural appearance.

BBL and full face rejuvenation with Fat transfer are truly advanced treatments that restore your natural facial plumpness and provide a perky and firm rear end. They are completely natura treatments with tons of benefits – shorter downtime, fewer side effects, no risk of infection. All this definitely makes these procedures appealing. On top of all this, you get a double benefit – once the excess fat is harvested from your donor sites like your abdomen, thighs or hips, that body areas get slimmer immediately.

You will return your confidence no matter which procedure you choose. With full face rejuvenation, you will feel radiant and refreshed, while with BBL you will look and feel great about your new and enhanced body contours.

 Schedule your consultation with Lucia’s plastic surgeon and start your journey towards rejuvenation with Fat grafting procedures.

What about the results – do they look natural? Yes, completely – Viora V-Form helps you achieve dramatic, but still very natural results.

Then all these benefits resurface to the top – your skin gets gently lifted, your facial contours get slimmer and everything falls into its place as it should. The results are not over-dramatic but you will notice how much your facial skin has improved – it is firmer, fresher and more youthful. In the end – this was your aesthetic goal.

Imagine going to the gym but doing nothing. EmSculpt NEO does everything for you – you don’t need to invest any effort at all. But you get better-defined muscles. A powerful HIFEM technology or better to say powerful electromagnetic energy is responsible for building muscles. It is very intense and focuses on a specific group of muscles that you want to shape. It stimulates 20,000 muscle contractions which are impossible in normal situations. Your muscles work out and start to reshape, while you are comfortably sitting on a chair.

Is EmSculpt NEO too uncomfortable? Not at all. EmSculpt NEO is intense but definitely not painful. Remember how Lucia’s Team always pays attention to your comfort?The intensity of the treatment can always be lowered so that you don’t feel any discomfort. The energy used for building muscles and eliminating fat cells is safe and while you’re having the treatment you can concentrate on reading, watching TV or just relaxing. Or you can start thinking about how you will get a 25%muscle increase after just one treatment session.

Does EmSculpt NEO treatment take too much time? This is the best thing – absolutely not! EmSculpt NEO treatment lasts for just 30 minutes. Just compare this time with the numerous hours you spend in the gym. And you still can’t shape some muscles as you wish to. That time is over. With EmSculpt NEO you can lift your buttocks, define your abdomen, tone biceps and triceps, shape your legs or enhance your calves – all during your lunch break. Actually, you spend half an hour on the treatment and you still have some time to spare before you have to go back to work or other daily activities. How great is that? You get a better muscle definition while relaxing comfortably and you save time!

Is there a long downtime after the treatment? Not at all. EmSculpt NEO doesn’t require any downtime or post-procedure restrictions. After the treatment you just feel as if you have had an intensive workout. Your muscles might feel a bit sore but that’s all. Since it is a non-invasive procedure you can leave Lucia Clinic right away. EmSculpt NEO is really the fastest and the most effective way of defining your muscles and eliminating stubborn fat bulges. It truly deserves to be in the top place when it comes to body contouring treatments because it combines two procedures into one and provides you with the best possible results.

Are the results of EmSculpt NEO noticed right away? Yes, completely. EmSculpt NEO gives you smoother skin and stronger muscles immediately. You will get the best results after 4 treatment sessions and the results will continue to improve. This is because your body needs some time to flush away the destroyed fat cells. But once they’re gone, they are gone for good. Just imagine – the results that you achieve after 4 sessions are compared to 4 months of intense workout and a very strict diet. So, what’s the conclusion? EmSculpt NEO treatment is faster and more effective. You can finally enjoy slimmer contours and toned muscles in your targeted body area.

How do you maintain EmSculpt NEO results? Easy – just continue with your healthy lifestyle habits. EmSculpt NEO treatment is ideal if you are already fit, but you are bothered with fat pockets on your thighs or poorly defined muscles on your abdomen for example. Once you achieve your aesthetic goals with this treatment and finally shape your muscles and slim your contours you will be motivated to continue with regular exercise and a nutritious and balanced diet. That way you will be able to keep the best results that this treatment has given you – ideal body shape.

Trendy and innovative – just two among numerous words that describe Lucia Clinic. Always on the top with its advanced treatments and high-quality products, this clinic has risen the bar in the world of aesthetic dermatology. With a vision of the future, Lucia Clinic has recently included plastic surgery on its list of services. And already Lucia Clinic offers one of the most advanced procedures – Tumescent liposuction. Performed only under local anesthesia, this surgery represents a revolution in Dubai. And Dr. Josipovic, is an expert in this surgery and we can safely say that Tumescent liposuction is one of his signature procedures.

So, what about Tumescent liposuction effectiveness, side effects and recovery? Let’s talk about it.

‍

TUMESCENT LIPOSUCTION- GOLD STANDARD FOR FAT REMOVAL AND BODY SCULPTING

It has definitely earned this title for many reasons – one of them is its effective removal of excess fat and body contouring. It offers almost the same results as traditional liposuction but it doesn’t require general anesthesia. This is what makes it so revolutionary -with local anesthesia there are fewer risks of side effects and you recover much faster. The tumescent fluid that is injected into the targeted area is a mixture of ingredients that firm, numb and prevent too much bleeding – three things that make this surgery much more comfortable.

Even though traditional liposuction and Tumescent liposuction have the same goal – removal of fat that you can’t eliminate no matter how much you exercise and keep a balanced diet, Tumescent liposuction is much safer and a better alternative.

JUST LOCAL ANESTHESIA EQUALS LESS PAIN

When we think of surgery, we freeze at the thought of general anesthesia and the risks it brings. Not to mention the side effects after it like pain, nausea and others. To avoid risks and side effects, many surgeons prefer to use just local anesthesia if possible. The good news for you is that Tumescent liposuction is one of those procedures that are done under local anesthesia. This is a big advantage because the risks and side effects are greatly lowered. Depending on the targeted areas you wish to address with Tumescent liposuction, local anesthesia successfully blocks the pain in those areas.

Tumescent liposuction is a very controlled procedure because the surgeon injects a special tumescent fluid into the area you wish to address. This special fluid guarantees that you will feel less pain when the liposuction starts – you will feel only pressure. If you still feel distressed about the surgery, you can get sedation along with the local anesthesia, simply to be more relaxed and comfortable.

SMALLER INCISIONS – FASTER RECOVERY

Another brilliant advantage of Tumescent liposuction is that it needs several open incisions that are only 1 to 2 mm in size. They are practically invisible. Open means that the incisions are only compressed after the procedure and not closed like with traditional liposuction. There are no drains or sutures, so there is less swelling, inflammation, pain or bruising. Why is this important to you? You can go home few hours after the surgery, compared to traditional liposuction where you need to spend the night at the clinic. You can return to your normal daily activities three days after, while traditional liposuction requires weeks of recovery. Since your body doesn’t experience much trauma and doesn’t experience serious side effects, it doesn’t need a lot of time to fully heal.

TUMESCENT SOLUTION – A KEY TO EASIER FAT REMOVAL

The secret behind Tumescent liposuction lies in the tumescent solution that is injected into the targeted area. It is injected into the subcutaneous fat that is found between your muscles and skin. We’ve already mentioned that it contains a local anesthetic that makes this plastic surgery virtually painless. But it also contains another important ingredient that causes blood vessels to shrink and reduces blood loss during the surgery. Why is this important to you? Since there is less bleeding you won’t have to deal with severe bruising and pain. So, again Tumescent liposuction is beneficial even in this part.

Another advantage of the tumescent solution is that it actually makes fat removal easier. It makes the fat firm and swollen and easy to break down. This way the surgeon doesn’t harm the surrounding tissue and suctions only the unwanted fat. But before that, he inserts a microcannula (which is much smaller than in traditional liposuction) into the targeted area, loosens fat cells and then suctions them out of your body. After the surgery, you are left with slimmer and better-defined contours. Of course, this process requires absolute precision but with Dr. Josipovic there is no room for mistakes – only natural-looking and brilliant results.

TUMESCENT LIPOSUCTION IS VERSATILE

What’s brilliant about Tumescent liposuction is that it brings great results in removing stubborn fat from different body areas. It is safe and effective in eliminating fat from large body areas like inner and outer thighs, legs or abdomen but it can also address smaller and difficult-to-reach areas like your arms, neck, knees and even chin. Women can greatly benefit from this surgery if they wish to reduce their breasts or make their hips slimmer, while men can get rid of love handles or male breasts. After Tumescent liposuction, you can expect smoother skin and contours that are shaped ideally for your weight or body type. This is especially true if you get your Tumescent liposuction done by Dr. Josipovic, whose artistry and creativity go beyond measure.

YOU CAN EXPECT IMPROVED AND SMOOTH RESULTS

Since the tumescent solution makes the fat firm and expanded before the procedure, the surgeon can control contouring the targeted area much more precisely. Also, the fact that you are awake during the procedure contributes to better sculpting because the surgeon can ask you to change your position if necessary. This way, the surgeon can see and reach all fat tissue that needs to be removed without harming any surrounding tissues. The surgeon can achieve excellent results by resculpting your curves. Also, microcannulas that the surgeon uses won’t cause any post-procedure irregularities in your skin. As we mentioned, the tiny incisions that are made before inserting the microcannulas are barely visible and eventually fade away. With better control come better results, and not to mention faster recovery, fewer side effects and less discomfort – Tumescent liposuction offers you all these benefits.

‍

GET RID OF FAT DEPOSITS FOR GOOD

Once the surgeon removes all unwanted fat cells they don’t come back. You can enjoy your more balanced and better-defined silhouette forever. Of course, it is advisable not to gain weight and to keep up with healthy lifestyle habits. But if gaining weight does happen it tends to get distributed all over the body. Therefore it is beneficial to keep a proper diet and exercise regularly because you reduce fat cells proportionally and you can still keep your silhouette unchanged.

With Tumescent liposuction, you improve your body contours and eliminate fat that bothers you. The effects of this surgery are like you have been focusing your diet on that specific problematic body area – which is, as we all know, difficult or better to say impossible to do. But with Tumescent liposuction, you can effectively get rid of unattractive fat bulges around your thighs or tummy. Once you achieve the body contours you have always wanted, it will motivate you to continue with your healthy habits.

If you are thinking about your skin and if it will contract after Tumescent liposuction – it will. Your skin is an incredible organ that can stretch or contract a lot. After the surgery, your skin will eventually fit your new contours because it will be the same as if you lost all that excess fat with a diet.

REMODEL YOUR SKIN WITH LUCIA’S SECRET DUO

Lucia’s Secret DUO treatment is special – it combines two amazing treatments, Secret RF micro-needling and Secret Erbium. This powerful combination remodels your skin at deeper levels and makes your skin youthful-looking and firmer. This is just what your skin needs this spring- a refreshed and rejuvenated look. Both treatments are one of the most advanced aesthetic procedures that are safe for all skin tones. Secret DUO reveals your natural beauty in a fast way, with minimal downtime and maximal results.

AWAKE YOUR COLLAGEN WITH SECRET RF MICRO-NEEDLING

It’s all about collagen – the powerful protein that keeps your skin firm and youthful-looking. During Secret RF micro-needling treatment, a safe RF energy is used that heats different levels of your skin and removes old collagen fibers. At the same time, it stimulates the new, healthy collagen that starts to build up and remodel your skin.  Eventually, your skin becomes tighter and stronger and the signs of aging are eliminated. Even though RF energy heats your skin, it is absolutely controlled and can’t harm the surface layer of your skin. It works on deeper levels where there is an abundance of collagen. It just needs to be woken up and this treatment is perfect for that.

TIGHTEN YOUR SKIN IN A GENTLE WAY

Secret RF micro-needling treatment is performed with a special device that has tiny needles attached to its tip. But the needles are only minimally invasive and can treat even the most delicate areas like around the eyes or the mouth. You can get a fully customized treatment that will address only your skin concern. It can be facial wrinkles, large pores, loose skin, acne scars and so much more. The advantage of this treatment is that it reduces all skin imperfections but it doesn’t harm the skin surface. The secret of this treatment is that microneedles make perfect contact with the skin and penetrate it gently. RF energy is precisely delivered between the microneedles and targets deeper layers of the skin. The micro-wounds trigger your body’s natural healing processes and you are left with clear, glowing and remodeled skin.

PLUMP YOUR SKIN WITH SECRET ERBIUM TREATMENT

Another powerful and advanced treatment that is part of Lucia’s Secret DUO procedure is Secret Erbium – a non-ablative, fractional resurfacing laser treatment. Its secret is working deep within your skin but without harming the surface. This is a huge benefit for you because you can return to your daily routine really quickly – you feel refreshed and rejuvenated but you don’t have to spend a lot of time recovering. This laser treatment emits multiple light beams into the dermis of your skin and heats it- it remodels the collagen fibers and leaves you with smooth and plump skin.

RETURN YOUR NATURAL RADIANCE

These two advanced treatments work so amazingly together – they offer you a gentler treatment, with reduced downtime and awesome results. Secret RF micro-needling improves the skin imperfections like sun damage, acne scars and large pores, while Secret Erbium laser smooths and plumps your skin inside out. Both treatments improve dull and tired skin and make it more radiant. Non-ablative skin resurfacing reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and improves skin tone and texture. At the same time, your skin gets mildly lifted and tighter as the new, healthy collagen builds up. You will love Lucia’s Secret DUO because it can do so much for your skin.

Another treatment you can try out this April is Lucia’s EmSculpt NEO treatment – get ready to look and feel great!

According to Dr. Lukian, Dubai represented a challenge for her when she first visited this amazing city to share her expertise at a conference.

Her unique approach to aesthetic dermatology emerged here – each and every patient needs individual attention. There are no two same skin tones and skin types. We are all different. So Dr. Lukian recognized an opportunity to settle in Dubai and open Lucia Clinic, world-renowned dermatology and aesthetic beauty sanctuary.

How Dr. Lukian does her job is truly unique – she had a vision of what her clinic would look like and she succeeded in fulfilling it.

Getting breast implants is never an easy decision. Once you decide to enlarge your breasts, a thousand questions arise in your head – which implants to choose, who is the best doctor, how long is the recovery period and so on. You hear different stories from people who had this type of plastic surgery, but you still don’t feel like you know everything about it. That’s because you are an individual and everyone is different. Everywoman has a different body and different expectations from breast augmentation surgery. That’s why the first thing you need to do is find a reliable clinic and an experienced plastic surgeon.

Lucia Clinic is one of the most renowned clinics in UAE and is a perfect place for you if you have decided to get this surgery. With the latest technology and state-of-the art facilities, Lucia Clinic offers you a high-quality service and comfortable journey towards finally getting the breasts you have always dreamt about. Dr. Josipovic is here to guide you. Using the most advanced techniques in breast augmentation surgery, Dr. Josipovic goes an extra mile in delivering the best results to his patients.

So, let’s cut through some of the confusion about breast augmentation surgery.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT IMPLANTS FOR YOU

As we already said, everyone is different and everyone has different preferences. This means that there are a lot of different implants that would be suitable for you considering your height and body structure. You just need to have an initial consultation with the doctor who will suggest which implant type, size or texture will be the best for you. Of course, the doctor also takes your wishes into consideration – in the end you are having this surgery to be satisfied with the final results.

YOU DON’T HAVE TO FOLLOW THE IMPLANT TRENDS IF YOU DON’T WANT TO

It’s all up to you. You can decide whether you want natural-looking implants with smaller projection or you can choose implants that will give more volume to your breasts. Think about how you wish your décolletage to look after the surgery – more visible or more moderate. Just discuss all your preferences with the doctor and together you can find the best implants for you. Keep in mind that the size and shape of the implants that your friend got, might not suit you, even though you think they look great. You are an individual and you need individual attention from the doctor and individual choice of implants.

NO MATTER WHICH IMPLANTS YOU CHOOSE THEY WILL BE OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY

As Lucia Clinic always offers only the best products and treatments, breast augmentation surgery is also in that same rank. The breast implants you can get at Lucia Clinic are of the latest 4th generation and they are the best. One of their biggest and most important advantages is that you don’t have to replace them every 10 years. Previous generations of implants had to be replaced after 10 years which meant another surgery and another recovery period. But now the good news is that you can enjoy your new breasts for a long long time. And if there are no problems with your implants, you can have them forever. Having breast augmentation surgery at Lucia Clinic brings you real long-lasting results. One more thing – the procedure is very safe. You will be in good hands.

THE RECOVERY PERIOD IS REALLY SHORT

When you are considering having breast augmentation surgery, you are definitely thinking about how long it will take to recover. When we say “surgery”, months of downtime immediately pop into our mind. But, it actually doesn’t have to be like that. With Dr. Josipovic’s special technique for breast augmentation surgery, you will be shortly back to your routine and even sport activities in no more than 6 weeks. You will agree that this period of recovery is really not that long. You need to follow the recovery recommendations and look after your bandages for a couple of weeks. After that you are free to resume all your everyday activities, even continue to play sports. There will be just one difference – you will feel more confident because your breasts finally contribute to your natural beauty.

YOU CAN CONSIDER BREAST AUGMENTATION SURGERY WHEN YOU CELEBRATE YOUR 18TH BIRTHDAY

If you think that this age is too early to consider breast augmentation surgery actually it isn’t. A lot of young adolescent girls start to feel self-conscious because they aren’t satisfied with their breast size or shape. Once these young ladies reach 18, their body has almost fully developed so it is completely safe for them to start thinking about this plastic surgery. Of course, having a consultation with the doctor is very important. Once you consult with the doctor you can make a decision about having breast augmentation surgery according to his advice and recommendation. He can advise you to wait for a couple of years before you have this surgery, which is not that long when you consider the benefits that this surgery will bring you. Building a positive picture about the body is very important at adolescence and this surgery can definitely help young ladies feel more confident about their look.

HAVE A CONSULTATION WITH THE DOCTOR TO HAVE ALL YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED

Before any surgery, you need to consult with the doctor. The same applies here – having a consultation with the doctor you can trust will definitely clear out all the confusion you might have regarding breast augmentation. Of course you will choose a doctor that has a huge experience and can advise you on all the aspects of this surgery. We all know that the trends are always changing and that new and improved implants are being developed. This is something that will help you decide to have breast augmentation surgery much easier.

As we said, we all have different bodies -more precisely, every lady has different breasts and different wishes about their enlargement. During consultation, the doctor can explain what kind of implants would be the most suitable for you – round, tear-shaped, smooth or textured. Also the doctor will advise you of the implants with bigger and smaller projections. But you can also say which ones you would personally prefer. He will carefully explain every step of the surgery and what you can expect during the recovery period.

Just be fully open during the consultation. If you are still planning a family or you are younger than 18, you can always postpone your breast augmentation surgery until you are completely ready. Being honest and open with your doctor guarantees that breast augmentation surgery will bring you the best results – being satisfied with your breasts size and shape is your ultimate goal.

LUCIA CLINIC WELCOMES YOU

The decision to have breast augmentation surgery is just yours and just for you. Getting this surgery at an eminent clinic like Lucia Clinic and having it performed by a world-famous plastic surgeon is definitely something that will help you feel confident that you made the right decision. Return your confidence and finally feel great and beautiful with breast augmentation surgery.

But, actually, let me just tell you how much time we actually spend removing pesky hair with different methods – just to compare.

FIRST SHAVING

There are different ways of shaving – a quick one, in the shower when you are in a major hurry. You are probably already late and when you finish and want to wear your short skirt you can’t because you have missed a few patches of hair or God forbid, cut yourself. So, has your hair grooming method succeeded? No. And now you lose even more time because you have to re-do it or find something else to wear. On average you spend about 5 minutes on a quick shave.

Shaving is painless, I grant you that, but you may get ingrown hair – pretty painful and awful-looking. Talk about losing your nerves when this happens – definitely a downside to this grooming method.

Of course, you can do it more precisely with the use of a tone of shaving cream. But, let’s face it we don’t do it so often.

All in all, when you add up you spend about 35 hours shaving a year, depending on whether you do it every day or every other day.

NEXT WAXING

It all depends on which area you are waxing, but let’s say that you are grooming your legs, bikini zone and underarm area. This takes about an hour to cover. And you probably need to do it once a month if you want to maintain your smooth skin. But, you need to add additional time to schedule the appointment and drive to the salon and back – that’s roughly another hour. I forgot to mention – it can hurt like crazy! And burn your skin if an inexperienced person is doing your treatment. Also, you need a bit of grown hair if you want waxing to be successful. So if you desire silky smooth skin all the time this is not a good option.

When you add up everything, you spend roughly 18 hours a year on waxing.

I can also mention,

DEPILATORY CREAMS

They are quick, I admit, but can be messy when used. Don’t forget that they can contain some pretty harsh chemicals and smell awful. The effects – not very lasting. Two or three days and you must do it again. The skin is silky smooth because you do remove all the hair but you must constantly repeat it. So you spend a lot of time doing it – perhaps similar to shaving.

TIP: If you have  sensitive skin, steer clear of depilatory creams. You don’t want to end up  with red or burned skin.

EPILATORS

This device can easily remove hair but can be quite uncomfortable. And you need to use them every 3 to 4 weeks to maintain smooth skin, but again similar to waxing, you need to let your hair grow a bit to effectively remove it with epilators. It can last really long to cover all your areas, and it can really hurt when you are treating sensitive areas like the underarm or bikini zone. Another thing – you can also end up with ingrown hairs, so again you lose your nerves when this happens.

Regarding time, it can be compared to waxing. The only difference is that you don’t spend additional time traveling to the salon, because you do it at home.

AND FINALLY – LASER HAIR REMOVAL

Let’s say that getting laser hair removal on your whole legs, underarm and bikini zone lasts for about an hour. There are some differences in duration depending on your hair type and thickness. And you need a maximum of 10 sessions to permanently destroy unwanted hair.

So, let’s roughly add it up – 10 hours – every 4-6 weeks plus occasional touch-up treatment if necessary. It’s very simple -you just pop up to the clinic, get your treatment session done and continue with your daily routine. On the whole, you save a lot more time and constantly enjoy your silky smooth skin. Just imagine how much nerves you will preserve being relaxed when it comes to wearing whatever you want especially in the summer.

I previously mentioned the problem of ingrown hairs. Good news – with laser hair removal there aren’t any.

 TIP: If you are prone to ingrown hair,  laser hair removal is the only effective method of eliminating them fast.

The laser hits the root of the problem – the hair follicle. It destroys the follicle so it can’t grow hair. With no hair, there is no ingrown hair – it’s that simple. You will never have to worry about unsightly bumps on your legs for example – they will be beautifully smooth.

I admit – it’s not an overnight solution, but it is so worthwhile in the end. Once you start your laser hair removal journey you will notice the results really soon – your unwanted hair is disappearing, the remaining hair is lighter and not so visible. The final result may take a while to notice but it will be permanent.

2. CHOOSE THE RIGHT LASER HAIR REMOVAL TREATMENT,OR MORE PRECISELY THE RIGHT DEVICE

You have been given a gift of choice – there are so many different laser hair removal treatments that you can surely find the right one for you. I will inform you about the two most popular and effective ones after talking about them with everyday people and collecting their experiences with these two treatments.

If you are like me – not a fan of fine print, you have probably tried to get rid of undesirable body hair for ages. Depilatory creams, razors, electrolysis, waxing, have their benefits, but they lack the crucial one – they are not permanent.

But, the following two treatments will greatly reduce your unwanted hair – you will love them!

FIRST ON THE LIST – SOPRANO TITANIUM LASER HAIR REMOVAL TREATMENT

Let’s just quickly cover some of the technical sides of this device.

This is la creme de la creme among laser hair removal devices. It is the latest generation and represents a revolution in laser hair removal because it’s pain-free, it’s fast and most importantly it’s super effective.

It has been patented by the Alma company so you can be sure that it combines comfort and functionality.

It uses the SHR system which stands for super hair removal. It’s a diode laser that creates a focused beam of light that targets its goal – melanin in the hair follicle. SHR slowly heats the top layer of the skin and when it reaches the proper temperature it destroys the follicle and with that the hair.

It combines IN-Motion technology and ICE plus cooling tips and makes sure that the surface of your skin is comfortable and cool.

Another cool thing about this treatment is that it has a large 4 square centimeters applicator that treats large areas of the body really really fast – this is something completely new in the world of laser hair removal. Also, it makes sure that missed areas are minimal.

 TIP: If you have a dark or tanned skin tone Soprano  Titanium won’t damage your skin surface.

That’s how exceptional this treatment is. We know that dark skin melanin is more sensitive to heating so laser hair removal is not always a good choice. But Soprano Titanium beats other treatments – SHR slowly heats the skin surface and there is no possibility to burn it. This fact is what makes Soprano Titanium the only safe laser treatment for dark skin tones.

TIP: Start with Soprano Titanium laser  hair removal even if the summer is approaching.

This treatment is safe to be done at any time of the year.

AND WHAT DO PEOPLE SAY?

The patient is having an effective Soprano Titanium laser hair removal treatment

Usually when asked why they chose to get Soprano Titanium laser hair removal they say because they hated their unwanted hair and wanted to get rid of them fast, painlessly and finally in an effective way. All that is possible with this amazing treatment. They also say that once most hair is destroyed you don’t have to go 2 to 3 times a month to your waxing appointment, or use a razor every other day – you just get so relaxed because you don’t have to worry about pesky hair. One more thing – they could have their treatment even in the summer because it’s safe and there are no side effects. After finishing with a session they could go on vacation right away – you don’t need to plan your summer holiday according to treatment sessions. Not having to shave every day at the seaside was already a big motive for deciding to have this treatment.

This treatment really made their life easier.

IT CAN TARGET ALL HAIR TYPE

Others, especially women with darker skin tones could finally have laser hair removal because Soprano Titanium has all three wavelengths and affects both the melanin and hemoglobin – this is what makes it safe for all hair types. The laser recognizes fair hair on fair skin and dark hair on darker skin. This used to be a problem for fair skin people because the laser didn’t catch thin and very fine and fair hair.

IT IS SUPER FAST AND VIRTUALLY PAINLESS

Another thing that is awesome about the treatment and that attracted a lot of people is that it is super fast. After the ultrasonic gel is applied to the targeted area, the laser applicator is moved really quickly across that area – that’s the IN-motion technique. Because of the integrated cooling system, at the start of the treatment, the patient feels only a cold sensation. After a few seconds, the laser starts to get warmer but when it becomes hot, the treatment is over. So there are no burns or hyperpigmentation.

IT IS SIMPLE

The way how the treatment is so simple, made a lot of people love it. You just come to the clinic, have a consultation with the treatment therapist who examines your skin and hair and sets the laser parameters and that’s it. The treatment can be finished in a few minutes and you are good to go. You just schedule your next treatment session and continue with your lunch break. That’s how easy it is to have this treatment done.

AND FINALLY – IT IS EFFECTIVE

This is the best part of the treatment – after a single session, you can see the first results 2 to 3 weeks post-treatment.  This is the time when your hair would grow again normally but you notice for example while showering, that the treated hair is falling off and almost one-third of the hair disappears. So, after 4 to 6 sessions 90% of your hair is gone. That’s pretty cool! And that’s what made this treatment so popular and beloved by many people. They finally could enjoy silky smooth skin all the time.

TIP: If you have a history  of ingrown hair, this treatment will put a stop to it once and for all.

Moreover, it improves the general state of your skin, eliminates pimples and other imperfections. While you are waiting for your next session you will notice that your hair is thinner and the periods when the hair doesn’t grow at all are massively increased

NEXT ON THE LIST – SOPRANO ICE LASER HAIR REMOVAL TREATMENT

Soprano ICE laser lets you treat all body areas and finally put a stop to unwanted hair. It gives you beautifully smooth skin from face to bikini zone to feet.

Its goal is hair follicles – the laser changes the energy from light to heat which detects the root of the follicle and destroys it. It needs the heat to work properly but it is virtually painless because there is a lower amount of energy that is pulsed 10 times a second. Once destroyed, the hair follicle can grow hair anymore – so it’s goodbye pesky hair forever.

As with any other laser hair removal treatment you can’t wax, tweeze or pluck the hair in between two sessions. Remember – the laser needs the follicle to destroy it properly.

After the initial series of sessions, if some persistent hair still grows back, you can easily solve this with touch-up treatment. This hair will be much thinner and finer in texture so the touch-up treatment can be finished fast.

There are some shortcomings of this laser – it doesn’t work on white, grey or ginger hair. This is because it needs melanin to destroy the follicle. Also, very fine and thin hair won’t be affected by this laser because it doesn’t have enough density. But otherwise, it works like a charm.

Most clients see positive results after just few treatments, but for the best results, you might need 8 to 12 treatment sessions.

WHAT DO PEOPLE SAY ABOUT SOPRANO ICE?

Again one of the biggest reasons why people chose this treatment is the removal of all unwanted hair once and for all. It is simple and so easily fitted into everyday life – you just pop to the clinic every six weeks, get your treatment and carry on with your daily routine. You don’t need to let your hair grow like with some other methods (waxing or epilation), you can just shave.

THE TREATMENT IS STRAIGHT FORWARD

This is what actually makes your life much easier. Each patient gets a customized treatment plan that includes the patient’s tolerance to the heat. You just get ultrasonic gel applied to your targeted area, in order to transport the laser energy and the therapist swiftly moves the applicator over the area. It is quickly over – for example when doing underarm it can be over in less than a minute. This area is sensitive and some say that they do feel a bit more heat because the hair is coarser here but it is definitely tolerable. Also, when done on bikini zone you again feel a bit more heat because the hair is also coarser in this area but nothing you can’t tolerate.

When doing shins, on the other hand, the therapist first marks the grid to be super precise when moving the applicator. This area is not so sensitive so you just feel a warm sensation without burning or tingling.

All in all the treatment is comfortable, some people feel it more but that’s just because we are all different and have different skin and different pain thresholds.

IT CAN BE DONE AT ANY TIME OF THE YEAR

This is another thing that makes Soprano ICE treatment super popular. It can even be performed in the summer and on tanned skin. So, again people can go on their summer holiday whenever they want to -they don’t have to plan them according to the treatment sessions or have their sessions only during cold weather.

IT IS EFFECTIVE

Finally, this is the best thing about this treatment – after a couple of weeks post-treatment, the hair starts to fall off. To get the best results you need between 6 and 12 sessions, but that’s all individual.

The laser works best for people with light skin tone and dark hair – the dark hair absorbs more heat and destroys the hair follicle. If you have lighter hair the laser will still bring you great results- you only need a few extra sessions. It’s just that lighter hair has less pigment and the laser works the best if the hair has more pigment, meaning the hair is darker.

The laser also works well if you have a darker skin tone it’s just that darker skin will steal away some of the laser energy. Again you will achieve great results with a couple of extra sessions.

It all boils down to this that people are so happy to have found this laser hair reduction treatment. They go relaxed to their sessions and don’t dread because of pain – it is completely tolerable and safe.

So, there you have it – it’s definitely a good idea to learn the facts about Laser hair removal devices and then choose the right one for yourself – this way you greatly save time, nerves, energy and of course money.

3. CATCH THE HAIR AT THE RIGHT MOMENT

At first, this sounded like an SCI-FI to me because laser is laser – energy, heat and it’s all over. But pretty soon I realized that when you treat your hair with a laser at the right moment of the hair growth, you get the best results. And it is simple to do it.

Hair is actually the one thing on your body that comes and goes easily. But, we all know that ‘easy go’ doesn’t describe stubborn hair that we need to deal with regularly in different ways – waxing, shaving, epilation, plucking. Whichever way you choose – it’s annoying, time-consuming and boring.

With laser hair removal, you just need to have your hair at the correct growth cycle and the magic happens.

Our body is covered with a lot of hair – 5 million to be precise. And it doesn’t grow at the same controlled time – it’s pretty much every hair for itself. This actually means that each hair has its own growth cycle, or better yet – three cycles.

Cycle number one – ANAGEN

This is the growth cycle.

Cycle number two – CATAGEN

This one is a phase between rest and growth.

Cycle number three – TELOGEN

This is the resting phase.

When the hair is in the second and third phases it is not good for laser removal because it doesn’t grow at these stages because it doesn’t get nourishment. The laser can’t affect it because this hair is already shedding. So the laser can’t reach the hair follicle and destroy it.

So, in order for the laser to work the hair needs to be in anagen or growth phase – it is fixed in the hair follicle.

The hair is growing and getting all the nourishment it needs. The body doesn’t shed this hair and when the laser energy travels to this hair, the melanin absorbs the light and turns it into heat. The heat goes to the hair follicle and destroys it – the hair doesn’t grow anymore. And that’s our goal.

It might look like a challenge to deal with 5 million hair and only some of them in the growing phase. But you solve this with more sessions until all hair has reached the anagen phase and can be destroyed at its follicle. That’s what makes laser hair removal effective – it doesn’t stop until each and every hair is caught.

HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT YOUR HAIR IS IN A GROWING PHASE?

It’s very simple – just pass across your skin with your hand and if you can feel your hair that’s it.

In the growing phase, you can see your hair above your skin because it is attached to the papilla which is a part of the hair follicle. The papilla is like a dent that resembles a knob at the base of the follicle. So, as already mentioned the laser will be effective in destroying the hair follicle if the hair is in the anagen phase. This phase lasts for 2 to 3 weeks, well at least when we talk about the body and facial phase.

This brings us to the question of why it is necessary to have more treatment sessions. In order to remove as much hair as possible in the treated area, the laser needs to hit the follicles. So, you need to come to your treatments every six weeks so that the laser can destroy the follicles that were previously resting and at the time of your appointment they reached the anagen phase. And so on until the majority of the hair gets eliminated, which happens approximately after 6 sessions. But, remember every skin and hair is different so you might need fewer or more treatment sessions to get that silky smooth skin.

A couple of months after my last session I had an unpleasant situation – some unknown, already treated hair started growing again. What’s that? I thought. Haven’t I got rid of all unwanted hair?

But I found out that this sometimes happens.

Some follicles rest for months. Why? Not sure about it. The telogen phase is quite uncertain – sometimes the hair can start growing after a couple of days and sometimes it doesn’t grow for a year. Why is this important for your laser hair removal? If hair starts growing again from these follicles and you thought that these follicles were destroyed by laser, don’t think that there was something wrong with your treatment. This hair was simply not seen and the laser simply couldn’t do its thing.

I didn’t want to go back to my previous hair grooming methods but I wanted my skin to be silky smooth again.

And then it hit me – touch-up treatment.

Since this is a completely normal thing you can get a touch-up treatment and destroy these few undesirable pesky hairs. Easy and simple – and your silky skin is back again.

4. PREPARE BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT

The patient is having Laser hair removal in a safe environment

When I decided to start my laser hair removal journey, there were several things I needed to take care of regarding my skin. There aren’t a lot of preparations for the first and every sequent session but still in order to get the best results, follow a few simple tips.

INITIAL CONSULTATION WITH THE SKIN THERAPIST

This is something you should definitely do prior to having your first laser hair removal session because we are all different and have different types of skin. The therapist actually examines your skin and determines which treatment is the best for you – this way the precise parameters can be set to match the laser energy to your hair color and ofcourse not burn or otherwise damage your skin.

INFORM YOUR THERAPIST ABOUT MEDICATIONS

This is something you need to be straight with. Some medications can interfere with the effectiveness of the laser or they can make your skin more sensitive – you can more easily get burned.

One medication that you should stop taking 12 months before your first laser treatment is Accutane. Your skin becomes really photosensitive because of this medicine and you can get burns or blisters.

Other medications like some types of antibiotics can also make your skin sensitive to light – it’s best to postpone your laser treatment until you are finished with them. Generally, you can start with the treatment 7 to 10 days after your last dose – antibiotics should be out of your system by then.

You can also have a patch test but it’s not mandatory.

The patch test is done only if the Skin Therapist decides it’s necessary or you really believe it would be good for you to do it. It’s okay to have a patch test if you have never had a laser hair treatment before, or you have some bad experience with previous laser treatments.

The skin therapist also advises you on how to prepare best for the treatment.

STAY CLEAR OF THE SUN

This is important – if you have sunburned skin, the laser may damage your skin even more. You definitely don’t want that to happen. So avoid sun exposure for 1 to 2 weeks before your session.

TIP: If you need to spend time in the  sun, use a lot of high SPF. This way you will protect your skin.

Remember – it’s best to have a contrast between your skin and hair color. Then the laser works the best.

SORRY BUT NO ARTIFICIAL TAN EITHER

This goes for bronzers, tanning creams, tanning beds – anything that makes the color of your skin darker. Your tan needs to be steady before the treatment in order for the laser to work properly and doesn’t cause any unwanted side effects.

What I mean is that the laser will work the same on tanned skin and on untanned skin. But if your skin is tanned the laser will work on as if that is your real skin color – which actually isn’t, so the skin therapist can’t set the laser parameters properly.

Also, don’t bleach your skin 6 weeks before the treatment. In 6 weeks dark root of your hair will grow back and the laser will target the melanin in it and destroy the hair follicle.

DON’T THROW AWAY YOUR RAZOR JUST YET

Because this is the only way you can groom your hair before laser hair removal. So no depilatory creams, waxing, tweezing or plucking is allowed at least 5 to 6 weeks before the treatment. This is simply because the laser needs the root of the hair to be present to hit it and destroy it. With other forms of hair removal, the laser might not work properly.

If you don’t shave your legs, the hair absorbs the energy and gets heated – this can seriously burn your skin. Also, not enough energy will hit its goal – the hair follicle. This way you won’t get satisfying results.

Another thing – you need to shave your legs one day or a few hours before the treatment because your skin on the targeted area needs to be smooth so that the treatment applicator can glide properly over your skin. And shaving is the only hair grooming method that doesn’t affect the root of the hair.

DON’T USE PERFUMES

Or deodorants or lotions or other cosmetic products that you normally apply to your skin. There is a possibility that these products have tiny amounts of metal in them which may interfere with the laser and make it less effective. Also, a small residue of perfume on your skin can lead to a minor burn by laser – you don’t need that. So come to your laser hair removal treatment free of all beauty products.

I followed all of these recommendations during my laser hair removal journey and it really helped me to keep my skin safe and- more importantly – get the best results.

6. TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOUR SKIN AFTER LASER HAIR REMOVAL

When I finished with my first laser hair removal treatment, I realized that there are some awesome things you can do to nurture your skin and of course get the best results. These things are simple but they do keep your treated skin nourished before your next treatment session.

IT’S NORMAL TO HAVE MILD REDNESS AFTER THE TREATMENT

This is because you’re dealing with heat coming from the laser and your skin will be a little sensitive. But this is short – it should stop after 2 hours. You may experience that your skin is feeling a bit sunburned, but you can ease the discomfort by applying Aloe Vera, which is great in situation like this.

To prevent irritation don’t go swimming in chlorinated water and steer clear of hot baths, hot showers, saunas or steam rooms – all this can burn your skin. Also, take a break from working out in the gym – strenuous exercises make you sweaty, and sweat makes your skin irritated. So, take cool showers that will be soothing for your skin

BE GENTLE TO YOUR SKIN

Don’t wash the treated area with some harsh products – only mild soap and water is enough. Especially in the first 48hours, dry the skin with a soft cloth – don’t rub it. Also, in the first 24 hours don’t use topical skincare and other products like makeup, moisturizer or deodorant especially if you have treated the underarm area. It could irritate your already sensitive skin.

AND THEN THE MIRACLE – DEAD HAIR STARTS TO SHED

This is the moment we’ve all been waiting and it happens between 5 and 30 days after your procedure. This dead hair is a stubble that sheds from the follicle and falls out. This may seem as new hair is growing but it is just dead hair coming out of the follicle.

 TIP: To speed up the shedding exfoliate  your skin.

You can use a soft washcloth and mild scrub wash to help the hair fall out faster. Just wipe over your treated area incircles, a couple of times per week and you will finish the hair shedding and be ready for your next treatment.  Or you can just simply shave.

This brings us to the next tip – don’t scratch, wax, tweeze or pick the treated area. This method of hair grooming will destroy your hair follicles, and as you remember you need them for your laser treatment.  If you want to achieve the best results from your laser hair removal, just shave the treated area

AND FINALLY – AVOID THE SUN

This should be actually the first thing you do to protect your skin after laser treatment. Just don’t expose your skin too much to the sun because it could get irritated. This also goes for getting a fake tan – so again no tanning beds, tanning creams and others.

TIP: If you do need  to be in the sun always use a high SPF (25 or higher).

Remember that you need to protect your skin from the sun at least 4 weeks post-treatment.

There you go. These are the things that really help you to keep your skin safe during the two treatment sessions and they help to achieve the best results which are life-changing – after a proper number of sessions, you will never ever have to check for stubble again!

6. BE CONSISTENT WITH YOUR LASER HAIR REMOVAL TREATMENT PLAN

This part was crucial for me on my journey towards silky smooth skin. When you come to the aesthetic clinic, you get a customized treatment plan that includes when exactly you need to come for your next session. If you wait too long between two sessions you don’t get the results you expect and you may get back at square one.

WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU SKIP YOUR LASER HAIR REMOVAL TREATMENT?

Nothing – and that’s what causes problems. Your hair follicles don’t get damaged properly meaning they can still grow hair. You may see initial results but pretty soon your hair starts growing as it normally did.

Let me just quickly remind you about how hair grows because it is the reason why you need to come to your appointments regularly.

There are three phases of hair growth – anagen(growing), catagen (a phase between growing and resting) and telogen (resting or shedding phase).

And we’ve already established how laser works- it sends light energy to the hair follicles and transforms the light into heat that damages the follicles. And the laser works the best if your hair is in the anagen or growing phase because that’s the moment it actively produces the melanin that gives it its color and this melanin is what the laser hits. The laser treatment will be successful if your hair is in a growing phase.

Session after session, the hair follicles are more and more damaged. They may produce some hair but it will be thinner and feeble. Your hair will grow more and more slowly as your sessions advance.

The bottom line is that the laser can’t work on hair that is in the resting or shedding phase.

If you missed a session, that doesn’t mean that you need to give up entirely. Just go back on track right away. You just may need more treatment sessions to treat the hair you missed. If this hair was in a growing phase and you didn’t treat it, it will grow again. 30 to 40% of hair is in the resting phase which means that this hair is not in the follicle- so it might seem to you that it’s okay to skip one session. But it’s not because this hair will grow back again. That’s why you need to stick to your treatment plan and complete it to get all the unwanted hair gone forever.

There’s a reason why your sessions are spaced apart for 4 to 8 weeks. It depends on the area you are treating, your hair and skin type and your hair growth cycle. If you are treating hair on your face, for example, your skin therapist needs to tell you how much you need to wait until this hair grows back.

So waiting for example 6 weeks between two sessions, ensures that the hair will be in its growing phase and able to treat with laser. If you wait too long for your next session, your hair will move to its next phase and the laser won’t be able to treat it. And then you need to wait again until that hair is back in its growing phase – you unnecessarily prolong your laser hair removal journey. There is also the possibility that some of your hair follicles need more sessions to be completely damaged and if you miss a treatment they can get fully regenerated and grow hair again. You definitely don’t want that to happen.

Also, if you had just one treatment session and then another one after 3 months, you won’t have any results.

SO WHAT DO YOU DO IF YOU MISSED ONE TREATMENT SESSION?

Just go to your aesthetic clinic right away and get back on track. (and try not to miss any following sessions again).

You see, if you come to your session one week earlier or later that won’t affect your results. But the long gap between the two sessions definitely will. The reason is that it is impossible that 20% of your hair changes the phase of growth in just one week. But, again make sure you follow the schedule.

So, what’s the conclusion? Attend every session until your whole laser hair removal is complete. This way you will achieve the best results and eliminate undesirable hair. Remember that laser hair removal is a repeated process that eventually enables permanent hair reduction.

7. FIND THE BEST CLINIC FOR YOU – LET IT BE YOUR BEAUTY SANCTUARY

This is what really saves your nerves, time and money. Once I found a clinic I could trust with my laser hair removal, it was life-changing. Having an experienced skin therapist that is fully committed to you even though she has thousands of other patients is what makes an aesthetic clinic unique and above all a place that I would go for all my treatments.

When thinking about an aesthetic clinic for your laser hair removal journey you will definitely choose the one that meets your expectations and leaves you more than satisfied.

So, let me tell you about Lucia Clinic.

HUGE EXPERIENCE

This is perhaps the most important thing that singles out this aesthetic and dermatology clinic. They have been in the business for over a decade, meaning that they have years of experience in laser hair removal behind them.

When I say that they have a long experience with laser hair removal, I mean that they are experts in using Alma laser technology.

Their wide knowledge of the aesthetic world has led them to become a Key Opinion Leader for Alma Lasers.

THE BEST EQUIPMENT

When you are considering which aesthetic clinic to choose for laser hair removal, think about the safety and the equipment they are using.

Lucia Clinic uses only the latest and most efficient devices for hair removal treatments which guarantees that you will be safe – all the devices are of the best quality and meet the highest standards.

Soprano Titanium laser hair removal is aground-breaking treatment – Lucia Clinic is proud to have this device included in their treatments.

Soprano Ice laser hair removal is another advanced device that Lucia Clinic’s Team has been using for many years now.

TIP: You will make  your decision about which laser hair removal treatment to choose easily if  there are various devices.

You shouldn’t leave it up to chance that if a clinic has only one laser hair removal device, it will be just the right for you.

VERSATILITY

This means that the clinic guarantees the best results for patients with different types of skin and different types of hair. Lucia Clinic is proud to be successful in achieving amazing results in laser hair removal treatments with a minimum number of treatment sessions. This is something that definitely seals the deal – you know that no matter which type of skin and hair you have, Lucia’s Team will go an extra mile to provide you with satisfying results.

QUALIFIED STAFF

This is super important – a good aesthetic clinic has a team of experienced therapists with who you can have a consultation about your skin and treatment expectations. If you want to get the best laser hair removal results and later maintain those results, your treatments must be done by a skilled therapist. This way you feel more relaxed because you know that you will be in good hands and nothing will go wrong. In the end, you will walk out of the clinic knowing that you are on your way to finally getting silky smooth skin.

It goes without saying that Lucia Clinic has a team of qualified laser and skin therapists – they perform each treatment with experience, knowledge and efficacy. There is no way that some adverse reaction can happen because they pay extra attention to keeping you safe and sound. Whichever laser hair removal treatment you choose to have, all the parameters are carefully set to suit your skin type and hair type. We are all different – there aren’t two same customized treatment plans. Their motto is -treat each patient’s skin as if it was your own.

FRIENDLY STAFF

For me, this is also one of the key points in choosing an aesthetic clinic. I want my visit to the clinic to be a nice experience – remember, when you start your hair removal journey, you will be visiting the same clinic for several months. You need to feel comfortable there, or you will walk away.

Lucia Clinic’s team lacks neither experience nor a friendly atmosphere. You are always greeted with a smile and feel welcome.

HUGE REPUTATION

What describes a clinic better and more truthful than a huge number of satisfied clients. Lucia Clinic has earned its reputation by keeping the standards of a successful business.
