We all want to look our best. Thanks tocontinuing advances in medical tech-nology, treatments that were once onlyavailable to the rich and amous are nowaccessible to everybody. In the past, one

Wa o do: Reduce sun exposure,dont smoke, and get treatment with

Botulinum toxin A.

how wok: For wrinkles created

by acial expression, such as rown

lines, crows eet or orehead

creases, Botulinum toxin A (known

as Botox) is the most eective

treatment. It works by relaxing the

muscles that create the wrinkle, so

that it no longer orms when the

muscles move. You see results in

2-10 days ater getting Botox, and

results can last up to our months,

with the results lasting longer as you

have more treatments. In the hands

o a qualied injector, results look

very natural. There is no downtime

and treatments cost anywhere rom

$250-$600 depending on how many

areas are treated.

FACe: restOre vOluMe

Wa o do: Use injectable

llers such as Restylane andRadiesse.

how wok: Restylane is a sae

non-animal stabilized hyaluronic

acid that can be injected into

the ace to restore that lost

volume. Common areas treated

are hollow temples, lips, chin,

marionette lines, smile lines

(nasolabial olds), tear troughsand most importantly, cheek

restoration and liting. By re-

infating the area, we actually lit

the sagging skin and improveeverything below. Treatment is

done at one sitting with results

lasting 6-18 months. There may

be some swelling or bruising

ater treatment, but this is easily

covered by makeup and usually

only lasts a couple o days.

Cost can range rom $500-

$3000 depending on how much

treatment is carried out persession.

JOWl/Chin/BAtWing AreA

Wa o do: Pollogen Maximus

Radiorequency treatment to tighten loose skin on the

neck, arms and below the chin.

how wok: Radiorequency delivers heat to theskin and subcutaneous tissue below. By reaching and

maintaining a specic temperature, at is released rom

the underlying at cells and skin tightening is triggered.

The Maximus st imulates col lagen product ion through

deep heating, which helps rebuild the structural

integrity o the skin. Results are seen ater the rst

treatment with peak results at 6-12 months. Most

patients require 6 sessions or optimal results.

looseness can be treated; common areas includethe jowl, chin, neck, batwings, mummy tummy, hips

ABDOMen, hips, thighs

Wa o do: TiteFX from Body Tite, targets fat, cellulite and loose skin.

how wok: The TiteFX delivers radiofrequency energy to the area. Once the

target temperature is reached, it delivers a second energy pulse that actually

kills the at cell. The treatment is applied to a given area or 5-10 minutes and

the heating eect stimulates collagen production, which helps tighten skin,while the secondary pulse improves local at deposits and cellulite. Results are

seen ater the rst treatment or at and cel lulite, while the tightening eects

take more time and reach a peak at 6-12 months. The best areas to treat

are the abdomen (or mummy tummy), hips and thighs both or cellulite and

at. Most patients require 6 sessions. There is no downtime. Each treatment

usually costs $300 with packages available or multiple sessions.

sun DAMAgeD AreAs

On FACe, neCK, Chest

Wa o do: Fractora is a new option or patients

with ne wrinkles, brown spots or sun damage,

broken blood vessels and a general drop in skinquality.

how wok: Fractora is a ractionated

Radiorequency device that delivers heat 0.6

mm below the skins surace to improve the skin

quality. It has a series o either 20 or 60 tiny

pins that provide radiorequency energy to the

dermal region o the skin. This energy ablates

some o the dermal matrix and stimulates a

collagen response rom the body that results in

new, healthy collagen production.

The procedure eels l ike a heat sensation and

can be administered without anesthetic on a

low setting; but on higher settings, one would

need topical anaesthetic. The procedure is quite

quick and can require between 2-6 sessions

depending on desired outcome, intensity o

treatment and tolerance o downtime. Low

settings have minimal downtime, while higher

settings can be more painul, and have more

swelling. The best areas to treat are crows eet,smokers lines, below the eyes, neck, chest

and hands. Cost ranges between $200-500 per

treatment session.

unWAnteD BODyhAir

Wa o do: Laser hair removal.

how wok: Laser hair removal works by

selective photothermolysis, in other words,

the laser looks or colour in the hair shatand targets it, destroying its ability to grow

new hair. Treatment is usually perormed

every six weeks or so depending on how

ast the hair grows. When a new crop o hair

starts to grow, its time or another session.

Most patients describe the sensation as an

elastic band snapping on the skin, while

some patients (especially those with colour)

may notice a little bit more discomort.

Most clients require 6-8 sessions to achieve

an 80% or more permanent reduction

in hair. Downtime is usually negligible;

some patients may notice a small sunburn

sensation or a ew hours. Cost depends

on how large o an area is treated, ranging

rom $50/session or underarms to several

hundred or legs or back.

BY LOLA AUGUSTINE BROWNAter two years o dedicat ion and hard work, Laura, thelast woman standing in the two-year Revive Makeover,has completely changed her lie. Laura tackled the healthissues that had been holding her back, shed a signicantamount o weight and has undertaken various proceduresto help her look her best. I eel terric, she says, I haveway more condence. When I look at pictures o mysel I eellike, Wow! What a dierence! and Im so happy with howeverything worked out. It took a long time to get here, andIm proud to have achieved this.

Getting HealthyWith support rom an expert team providing nutritionalguidance and personal training, Laura went rom makingpoor dietary choices and not doing any exercise to becomingt and healthy. Laura says that her biggest challenges werending the time to exercise or eat properly. I have threechildren, aged 8, 6 and 3, so it was really hard to t thosethings in around what I needed to do or them, she says.

Giving up smoking was another challenge. I wrote a contract

with mysel and just quit cold turkey that day. There are daysthough when you get cravings, when you are around otherpeople that smoke, and that makes it hard, she says, butyou just have to stay strong.

Laura had to make major changes to her diet. As a mom,Im on the go constantly and I didnt have the greatest eatinghabits. Id grab a mun or breakast, or a cereal bar, but Iound mysel having to prepare proper breakasts, like eggs.Once I got into a routine, it wasnt that hard, she says, butat rst it was like, Oh my God, I have to eat ve times aday? and I didnt know how Id manage.

Being prepared ahead o time was key. Laura would makesnacks and have them in baggies in her purse so that shewasnt scrambling to nd something healthy to eat when out.She always had a bunch o vegetable cut up and ready to goin the ridge too.

As or working out, Laura grabs the time when she can,which is usually late at night once the kids are settled.

Everyone can nd hal an hour to exercise in the day. Eveni I dont get done til midnight, ater Ive got the kids tobed and cleaned up dinner, I make sure I work out and Ialways eel better or it, she says, adding that the little bit oquiet time alone every night has been great or her, as shewasnt always taking that time or hersel beore starting this

makeover.For Laura, workouts are always done at home using a

treadmill, ree-weights, medicine balls and stretches. Apersonal trainer helped develop an at home routine thatworked or her, and came back and upped the intensitywhen Laura needed more o a challenge.

Not that she was perect the whole way through thismakeover process, there were times when she stoppedworking out or various reasons, and then ound it hard toget back into the routine. Sometimes you all o, and youget lazy, so you have to motivate yoursel again and get back

into your routines. Over the course o the year, I ell o tracka ew times because I got sick or something, and it washard to get back on, she says. But she succeeded, and thephotographs prove that all her hard work and dedication haspaid o.

Looking GoodLaura is very, very happy with the cosmetic work that shehas had done. Im getting so many compliments. Peopleare telling me how amazing I look, and Im not embarrassed

to tell them that I had liposuction, a tummy tuck and mybreasts done. It was my choice to get those things done,and although not everybody would agree with those choices,I have no issue Im happy, she says.

This wasnt the rst time that Laura had had surgery; Shehad work done on her breasts when she was youngerbecause she had asymmetrical breasts. With each childthey got more and more asymmetrical, so when I went inthis time it wasnt as simple as just getting a lit, I needed theright side reconstructed to match the let. It eels great to be

in proportion again, because I was eeling so sel-consciousabout that, she says.

Fortunately, Laura recovered quickly rom each procedure,with minimal bruising or discomort. She is very grateul orall the support she got rom the team o experts that guidedher through her makeover experience. Everyone was justawesome, the nurses, the sta at the clinics, all the doctors,she says.

Ater transorming her body in such a huge way, Laura hashad to go buy new clothes, and says that shopping hasbeen really un. Trying stu on in the stores is a pleasure,and Laura oten has to grab a smaller size than the thinksshe needs. Im thrilled, she says, and I eel amazing.

DR. B RAY:

Laura had already completed most o thedicult work beore being seen by me. She hadachieved a stable, healthy, sustainable weightand was interested in options to improve someresistant trouble-spots.

These included several areas o persistent,

excess at contributing to a somewhat bottom-heavy appearance. Also o concern to her werethicker areas o the mid and upper back, tendingto orm bulges and rolls with her bra or certaintypes o clothing.

Our goal was to reduce these areas o excess at, tighten the skin, andcreate an overall better proportion between her upper and lower body. Ielt these goals would be best achieved with the use o BodyTiteliposuction to the areas o the bra-line, mid and lower back, love handles,and inner and outer thighs.

Laura was comortable with this plan and we went ahead, perorming the

procedure without diculty. I used the radiorequency energy o BodyT iteto melt and then gently remove at and also to raise the temperature toencourage skin-tightening. We removed approximately 3 litres o at in totalrom these combined areas and have seen a nice improvement in contour,proportion, and an overall leaner appearance.

BRUcE kRAhN:

When Laura began the makeover shehad little to no exercise experience, hada very poor diet, was a heavy smokerand was in generally poor shape.However, Laura had an incrediblypositive attitude and she genuinelywanted to improve hersel.

The program I created or Laura wasdesigned to increase her strength,fexibility and endurance withouttaking over her lie. Laura perormed

short, high intensity workouts alternating between strengthtraining and cardiovascular conditioning.

Laura has completely transormed the way she looks and the wayher body perorms. She has stopped smoking, eats a healthy,

balanced diet and exercises regularly. Her persistence anddedication to the program paid o and she looks antastic.Way to go Laura!
