They say there is no gain without pain. And without exercise, a tray of buns. 
But what if you stick to everything faithfully and still don't feel ready for a swimsuit?
It is not always our “fault”.
If we leave aside those who claim they put on weight even from air while breaking all the principles of a balanced lifestyle, cases where you are truly “innocent” really do exist. And there are not few of them. Post-pregnancy kilos, stress, hormones, advancing age – these are all enemies of our curves, against which diets and exercise fall short. “Fat pads are often stored in the subcutaneous tissue, where neither a change of diet nor exercise works. It is similar with cellulite, where we are dealing with clusters of enlarged fat cells trapped between damaged collagen fibres,” explains MUDr. Iveta Hasová from the MEDISKIN clinic. By the way, fat cells are a really tough enemy. If you only “starve” them, that is, reduce their volume, it is quite likely that a few dietary slips will bring them back into shape. “In such cases only treatments that cause apoptosis help – that is, the complete death of the fat cell, and not merely driving the fat out of it. Lipolysis works this way, for example,” explains the doctor, adding: “This does not always mean using a scalpel, though; apoptosis of fat cells also occurs, for example, with the non-invasive Vanquish treatment or laser lipolysis, which works on the principle of heat energy. If you need to get rid of a so-called double chin, we can achieve that with injections of the lipolytic solution Belkyra, which requires no special recovery.”
The idea of “swimsuit shape” can differ for each of us - one needs to slim down, another to get rid of cellulite, a third to firm the skin. But for every case there is a package of treatments in my favourite MEDISKIN.
Three programmes that will get you in shape.
BODY SHAPE
This 4-week slimming programme is intended mainly for ladies who are losing their battle with fat pads on the abdomen and in the waist area (so-called love handles). It includes a series of 4 treatments with the Vanquish device, which is an innovative non-invasive alternative to surgical liposuction. Through heat energy, the device causes the complete death of fat cells in the treated area. Depending on your morphology, a series of four treatments can define the waist and reduce the volume by up to 13 cm. The treatment is finished with a 30-minute lymphatic drainage, which helps to eliminate the dead fat cells from the body faster.
Programme price for blog readers: 400 euros (with the code FASHIONSPY)
BODY SMOOTH
If you don't feel comfortable in a swimsuit because of cellulite, try the smoothing programme Body Smooth. It includes 4 treatments with the UNISON device, which, unlike other technologies, acts simultaneously on all five causes of cellulite - enlarged fat cells, damaged collagen fibres, loss of skin elasticity, impaired circulation and accumulated metabolic waste. The treatment combines targeted pressure energy with thermal action and is combined with a 30-minute lymphatic drainage. With a healthy lifestyle maintained at the same time, results should appear within a month.
Programme price for blog readers: 240 euros for 1 area, e.g. the back of the thighs. (with the code FASHIONSPY)
BODY TIGHT
If your skin is sagging or you are troubled by various bumps caused by cellulite, “wrinkled skin” caused by changes in weight, as well as stretch marks or scars, the firming programme Body Tight will help. It includes a series of 10 shockwave treatments, which act as shock therapy on the skin and subcutaneous tissue. It breaks down and rebuilds the network of collagen fibres, firms the subcutaneous tissue and smooths out unevenness on the surface. In the programme you also undergo 10 LPG treatments, which set loosened fat cells in motion and so help get them out of the body as soon as possible.
Programme price for blog readers: 599 euros for 2 areas, e.g. the abdomen and front thighs. (with the code FASHIONSPY)
If you are hesitating, I will let you in on a secret: the discount is valid only until the end of June, so book at MEDISKIN, or regret it later.
