Eat Your Way to a Smoother Body!

18 Apr

Along with the beauty of trees sprouting their spring buds, birds chirping, and flowers blooming the Spring season also brings the inevitable:

bare legs.

As women, 98% of us suffer from the condition known as cellulite.

Here at Refresh, we offer the only FDA approved laser treatment for cellulite- SmoothShapes- and have consistently seen truly incredible results.

When you begin your treatment series with us, we always prepare you with an excellent list of tips and recommendations to better your results.

Today we would like to talk about going even further and show you some ways that your diet (not a diet, but your diet) can help, too.

  • With a proper diet for reducing cellulite, a person needs to include as many iodine-rich foods as possible. Iodine is required for normal functioning of the thyroid gland. Iodine is needed by this gland so that it may produce T3 and T4 which are required for normal body functions throughout the body.
  • Always remember that yo-yo dieting is believed to make cellulite worse. One of the best cellulite diet tips notes that you should be prepared to make a permanent change in the foods you eat. Some of these changes will be easy because they are foods that you already enjoy. The challenge is in avoiding the foods that are detrimental to the cellulite reducing diet you have mapped out for yourself. Change the foods you eat permanently for long term results in reducing the appearance cellulite.
  • A few more cellulite diet tips revolve around investing in a juice extractor. These juicers come in a variety of sizes and price ranges. There should be one to fit your budget. Vegetable and fruit juices extracted from fresh produce are one of the best ways to get the nutrients the body needs for healthy skin and for detoxification of the body.
  • Water is vital to flush out toxins from the body. It is important to be well hydrated for healthy cellular functioning. The rule of 6 to 8 glasses of water a day is a good one but if you would like a more personalized requirement amount, you can divide your body weight in pounds by 18. This will give you a daily water requirement.
  • Eggs, cheese and milk—eggs are high in protein and easy to prepare but have them boiled or poached. Stay away from frying them in oil, butter or margarine. Cheese is okay but choose the low fat varieties. For example, cottage cheese contains about 4 grams of fat per 100 grams. And regular cheddar cheese contains about 32 grams of fat per 100 grams serving. Milk is high in calcium but a good rule to follow is to always choose skim or 2%.
  • Fresh fruits that are water rich such as melon or cantaloupe are great snacks and due to their high water content, will aid in the detoxification process. Other fruits to include are bananas, strawberries, grapes and pears. Vegetables are rich in vitamins and minerals. Try raw veggies thinly sliced in a salad to add crunch. Since they aren’t cooked they retain all their nutrients. Vegetables to include are radishes, asparagus, carrots, tomatoes, spinach, leeks, artichokes, turnips, onions, watercress, string beans, mushrooms and lettuce.
  • Protein is needed by the body for proper nutrition. Always choose lean cuts of meat and remove any excess fat or skin from poultry or meat. Fish and seafood are iodine rich and contain the omega fatty acids that are so beneficial to healthy skin. Seafood is also high in iodine to boost thyroid functioning. Be sure you try a vegetable source of protein such as soy or tofu. You might like them!
  • A list of cellulite diet tips wouldn’t be completed without mentioning foods to avoid. These include pickles, chips, cold cuts or similar processed foods, anything with a high salt or sugar content, and excessive amounts of caffeine. When eating out, ordering a salad is a good choice just be aware that most salad fixings at restaurants contain MSG, a high sodium preservative.
  • When taking vitamin supplements for cellulite reduction, always take them with meals for maximum absorption. Be sure to consult your physician before starting this diet if you are on any medications or have special health concerns.

Rave Reviews for SmoothShapes!

1 Jun

We would like to share some recent client reviews about SmoothShapes – real clients sharing their experiences with this truly unique and effective treatment.

Have you had your SmoothShapes yet?!  Now is the time to feel confident showing some leg!

Here is what some recent SmoothShapes clients have to say:

“This treatment is so amazing! I love SmoothShapes so much and I love the staff at Refresh Laser Spa.  The owner, Kimberly Hall is very knowledgeable about the whole process and gives you all the facts about whether or not SmoothShapes is for you. She really wants you to be happy with your results!  Paula performed my treatments and was very pleasant during the process.  I had 10 sessions on the back of my legs and 10 sessions on the front of my legs and I tell you what; the results exceeded my expectations! Diet and exercise alone did not decrease the appearance of cellulite on my legs.  This treatment surpassed the goals I had for my appearance.  I love my legs!  I can wear my skinny jeans again!  I am wearing shorts, which I never used to do!  I am wearing lots of little black dresses.  I bought 3 new suits for the summer.  The list goes on & on…….  If I could say one thing to help someone questioning this treatment it would be make the investment the right way!  This is a non-surgical procedure that really does give the results you are looking for!  The costs is so minimal compared to the results.  If you compare the cost to a surgical procedure it is way less and maintaining your results is so easy.  Thanks, Refresh Laser Spa!”

“I loved my SmoothShapes treatments, they were very relaxing, and absolutely no pain at all. I have lost 1 and a 1/2 inches on each leg after 8 treatments and the cellulite has been reduced substantially. I am not afraid to show some leg since my treatments. Finally, something that really reduces cellulite! Thank you, Refresh Laser Spa!” PF, Denver, CO

SmoothShapes is just what I needed! Not only did I notice a significantly diminished look of cellulite, I also noticed a big change in the shape of my saddlebags which also surprisingly almost became non-existent! I was pleasantly surprised. I can’t recommend SmoothShapes more!” SS, Boulder, CO

“Kimberly, I want to thank you and Refresh Laser Spa for my great results from the SmoothShapes treatments. I had my hips, back of thighs, and stomach/abdomen areas done. I am 51 and when I arrived for my first treatment I was wearing my “fat jeans” and a “big shirt”. Throughout the treatments, I noticed my clothes started fitting looser which for me was the true test and my goal. My skin was softer and smoother with less bulges and lumps. By the end of my treatments I came in wearing my “SKINNY JEANS” and getting compliments on how great I look and people asking me if I’ve lost weight!! I’m usually a skeptic, but I got fantastic results from something that really works. I am loving the outcome. I lost 2″ on my thighs! To be able to wear things I haven’t worn in years, all I can say is WOW! Thank you so much Kimberly and your office staff for being so courteous and professional. I’ll be back for other services for sure.” JS, Denver, CO

“After doing my research and finding out about the advancement of laser technology I was curious if the SmoothShapes procedure would help improve the appearance of the cellulite I had on my thighs. I met with Kimberly and her staff and felt very comfortable with working with them. Kimberly explained everything in detail and what results I could expect from the treatment. She was right!! I lost 2 inches of circumference in each thigh and the appearance of the cellulite is greatly diminished. This really works!!” SM, Boulder, CO

Is Fat Gender Bias?

27 May

Yesterday on the NewBeauty blog, they posted an article about the difference between men and women regarding where their fat “falls”. Here are their claims,

“It doesn’t take a doctor to see that men and women carry fat differently. Men tend to pack it on in the belly, whereas women will find fat accumulating in their hips, butt and thighs. But while the difference may be apparent, the reason hasn’t been.

Researchers at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center recently analyzed fat genes in mice, who have a similar sex-based fat distribution pattern to humans. They found that male and female mice have very few fat genes in common. Therefore, male and female fat cells behave in completely different ways, giving way to dimorphic fat placement.

Women do have an advantage when it comes how where our fat tends to build up. Fat on the hips, thighs and butt is subcutaneous and therefore treatable with liposuction. However, belly fat in men is typically visceral and too deep to be treated with liposuction. The only way to reduce this kind of fat, which is considered a health risk, is with diet and exercise.”

So what are the connotations of these findings??

For us, the immediate concern is about cellulite. The fact that for us as women, our fat cells are subcutaneous means that they are living almost directly under the skin. And this friends, is why we have cellulite. In the subcutaneous region (or what have you), there are ‘chambers’ made of tissue.

Think of it almost like fishnet stockings… the empty spaces between the fibers would be your “chambers”. And then imagine if you maybe tried to push a slice of bread through those fibers. That’s cellulite. And since the gentlemen have more visceral fat, they in turn do not have visible cellulite.

Fortunately for us women, this is where the magic of SmoothShapes comes in.

With its dual wavelengths, SmoothShapes is working twofold. First, it is liquefying the adipose fat cells (or, “melting the bread”), then the other wave length is making those fibers (the fishnets) more malleable (or, stretching them out, so to say_ so that the now liquid fat cells can finally exit the chamber to ultimately be flushed out through your lymphatic system.

This also explains why women will need maintenance treatments after their initial SmoothShapes series. Because although we can essentially ‘repair the damage’, we cannot yet prevent (in its entirety) the formation of cellulite.

Perhaps the day will come, but for now an amazing fix is right here at our Spa in Denver.

SmoothShapes in Shape Magazine!

25 May

In the June 2010 issue of SHAPE Magazine, the focus of their “Bikini Body Special”

was, Your Best Ever Cellulite Busting Plan.

And although the direct focus of the article wasn’t on SmoothShapes, they did have some truly great advice for those looking for other solutions. We include our own Tips and Recommendations in every SmoothShapes’ client take-home packet, and these tips are great as well, with or without SmoothShapes:

Nix White Flour Foods: At least two studies have found that people who eat the most whole grains have less belly fat than those who eat fewer complex carbs (you can have cellulite around your middle, too). with the variety of whole-grain products on the store shelves today, it’s easier than ever to snub the refined stuff. The higher fiber content in whole-wheat bread and pasta keeps you feeling full longer, so you won’t have to contend with a rumbling belly.

Make Friends with Fat: It may sound counterintuitive, but trust us: To lose fat, you have to get over your fat phobia. Healthy fats, like nuts, seeds, avocado, and olive oil can actually help you lose weight (and cellulite).

“Cheat” the Right Way: The concept of a cheat day is a weight-loss staple, but it’s also the Achille’s heel of many eating plans. A day of eating whatever you want can add up to thousands (yes, thousands) of extra calories. It can also make it harder to get back on track the next day, when your brain has a chocolate cake hangover. Instead of splurging for an entire day, Lisa Young, Ph.D., R.D., the author of The Portion Teller Plan, recommends limiting yourself to just one cheat meal each weel. “Plan it, enjoy it, and as long as it happens just once a week you won’t break the caloric bank.”

Eat an Appetizer: Studies show that if you take the edge off hunger before lunch and dinner, you’ll eat less. Then, eat your main meal in the following order: veggies first (which should take up about half your plate), then the protein, the the whole-grain carbohydrates. “Having veggies first satisfies your stomach and brain,” explains Young. “Fiber-packed veggies are filling, and your eyes see a big portion, so your brain thinks you’re eating more too. By the time you get to the carbs- the danger zone for many people- you’ll be ready to stop.

Go Veggie One Day a Week: A recent study in the International Journal of Obesity found that people who are the most meat were about 27% more likely to be obese and 33% more likely to have abdominal obesity than people who ate the least amount of meat. They also consumed about 7– more calories per day, on average.

Lastly, but most certainly not least is their pick for Best In-Office Option: SmoothShapes!

They say: ” SmoothShapes ($2000-$3000 for eight sessions over four weeks) uses a laser and light energy to shrink enlarged fat cells and tighten skin, while a vacuum and rollers massage the body, increasing circulation.

Expert Take: “This FDA-approved treatment definitely has the science to back up its claims,” says Francesca Fusco, M.D.

Real Life Results: “It felt like getting a deep tissue massage, and while I did experience a little hickey-like bruising, the decrease in dents was noticeable after four weeks.” -Samantha, 30

Editors Note: While SHAPE Magazine says you will pay $2000-$3000 for 8 treatments, here at Refresh Laser Spa it is only $1,600 and that includes 10 treatments!

The Truth about Zerona

25 May

Recently there has been much press about a relatively new treatment, Zerona.

Unfortunately, the vast majority of this press is centered around false information, misleading marketing, and extremely questionable research and studies.

First and foremost is the gross misunderstanding that Zerona is a cellulite treatment. This is false. Even according to Zerona, the treatment is, “a new non-invasive body sculpting procedure designed to remove fat and contour the body without invasive surgery.”

Still, the rumor persists. Even on RealSelf the question is posed to a panel of doctors, “Will Zerona help with cellulite?”

Here are some answers, straight from the Doctors’ mouths:

Dr. Michael A. Persky says, “Zerona will not help with your cellulite. The Cardua liquid supplement that you drink, along with exercise, and increased water intake alone is what most scientific oriented physicians believe is creating some affect in some patients. The laser is not strong enough to penetrate the skin, let alone affect the underlying fat tissue. The main and most painful side effect of Zerona will be $2000-$3000 less in your pocket.”

Dr. Darryl J. Blinsk says, “Colleagues, you are correct. I tried the Zerona, personally, WHAT A JOKE!!! Minimal results if any for a large $ amount, Makes you think – WHAT NEXT?”

Dr. Otto Joseph Placik says, “Despite the claims made about this seemingly ideal treatment, I am not convinced about their claims. It is essentially the same laser energy as a laser pointer.”

Dr. Burr Von Maur says, “The results after Zerona treatments are inconsistent. It is not possible to predict significant improvement in cellulite of body contour for that matter after Zerona treatments.”

And on and on and on, the sentiment repeats….

One of the leading Doctors there, Dr. Persky even posted on his own blog, an entire post devoted to debunking the myth that is Zerona:

“Many of my patients, and many more of you out here in internet-land have asked me what my thoughts are regarding Zerona laser treatments. For the past year I have researched Zerona technology (since it came to market). I remember first seeing advertisements for Zerona at the Aesthetic Show in Las Vegas, July 2009. The ads were the first of their kind, pasted on the mirrors in the restroom outride of the lecture conference halls at Caesar’s Palace. This was my introduction to the creative marketing efforts of the company behind Zerona. The company has employed Leeza Gibbons as their spokesperson.

Zerona claims that patients lose 3 1/2 inches to 9 inches (from their waist, hips, and thighs) in 2 weeks with 6 every other day 40 minute sessions (20 minutes on the front, 20 minutes on the back). All patients need to do is lay still and let 5 painless laser lights rotate on their skin (some practitioners even treat OVER clothing) like a prom night laser light show.

Unfortunately, the science of lasers does not support the Zerona’s claims.

As mom always told us, if it “sounds too good to be true, then it usually is.” I am afraid that in my opinion as an expert laser surgeon, Zerona’s claims are too good to be true. I really wanted Zerona to be the real deal, and offer it to many satisfied patients. At $2000 to $3000 per treatment series, the financial incentives are very attractive. I cannot ethically and in good conscience offer my patients a treatment that is scientifically unsound.

Zerona’s 635nm laser cannot penetrate the skin so it cannot have any effect on fat cells. The electon-microscope studies that have shown “microscopic holes in the fat cell membrane and leakage of fat from the cells” were done with the laser DIRECTLY applied to fat cells underneath the skin, with no skin to penetrate. The loss of “inches and pounds”, if any, comes from the mandatory Curva niacin supplement drink, diet, and exercise that desperate patients must follow (this explains why there is “loss in areas that were not even treated by the laser”). The company claims are that the “laser triggers a response in the body that causes the fat cells to communicate, causing a general effect in the entire body.” Recall that the laser cannot penetrate through the skin to be able to affect the fat cells.

There have not been any comparative studies looking at results with the use of Curva supplement, diet, and exercise alone versus with the addition of the laser light. Given that the laser cannot penetrate through the skin to have any effect on fat cells, most likely the results will be the same without patients having to waste their time having the Zerona laser lights rotating on their skin.

As for me, when the time comes for my inches to be lost, I will try the “AB Circle Pro” at $199 plus shipping and handling. Their before and after photos looked more impressive than the Zerona photos. A few yoga sessions, honest exercise, and diet will likely help as well. Pass me that scoop of Baskin Robbins Rocky Road ice cream please. Be well.”

And again, from RealSelf, Dr. Arnold R. Oppenheim explains everything wonderfully and delves in to the sneakier, unfortunate aspects of the Zerona clinical studies, read it here.

All of this reinforces the fact that SmoothShapes is the only FDA approved laser treatment for cellulite. It produces outstanding, consistent results and has all of the scientific evidence in the world backing it up.

SmoothShapes on NewBeauty’s Blog!

24 May

How awesome is this?? NewBeauty, one my favorite skin care, beauty, and wellness sites just posted an article about SmoothShapes today! WOW!

Here’s what they had to say:

“The newest cellulite treatment, SmoothShapes, employs a technology called photomology, which uses specific laser and light wavelengths to address symptoms and improve skin smoothness.

Safe to use on all skin types, the virtually pain-free procedure (which feels like a deep tissue massage with some skin warming) utilizes energy with contoured rollers and vacuum suction to target problem areas and restore enlarged fat cells to their original size.

During treatment, collagen production is stimulated to smooth and tighten the skin. The technology also stimulates natural metabolic processes to decrease underlying causes of cellulite, like edema and poor blood circulation.

You can expect to pay around $300 per treatment, which will be recommended at a rate of twice a week for four weeks.”

Perfecto, NewBeauty! Although, it is not nearly as expensive as quoted in the article if you come to Refresh!

And not to switch gears entirely, but I would like to take this opportunity to flush out some myths, misnomers, and misunderstandings about SmoothShapes and the other cellulite treatments available on the market; in particular VelaShapes, which is frequently mistaken for SmoothShapes, and yet wholly different.

First things first: Smooth Shapes is the only FDA approved Laser treatment for cellulite.

VelaShapes is not a laser, and utilizes no laser technology.

This makes comparing the two, like comparing apples and oranges.

VelaShapes uses what they call elos technoloy, which is basically lights and radiofrequency (along with the rollers and suction used with SmoothShapes). Therein lies the problem. Radiofrequency, while great for many things (like radio), is extremely unpredictable. The depth at which it penetrates the body cannot be controlled, nor can the size and shape of the wavelength. With some treatments, this will not matter. However, in the treatment of cellulite it is of the utmost importance.

Cellulite lives exactly 1 centimeter under the skin, which means that if your device is firing too shallow or too deep (or to the side!) it will miss the cellulite entirely. Which, again, adds to its unpredictability.

Here’s some proof for you about VelaShapes efficacy:

{click to enlarge}

You can almost think of it like this: VelaShapes is like broadcasting a message over one radio station, hoping that your friend will hear; they may be listening, they may not be. SmoothShapes is like calling your friend on their cell phone- it’s a direct connection.

VelaShapes has a 20-25% efficacy rate, which actually makes complete sense given how uncontrollable of a treatment it is. And on top of that, in order to even maybe get results with the treatment, you must fit a very specific bracket for age, weight, and cellulite severity. And did I mention many women report that it is painful??! Yikes!

RealSelf.com is one of my favorite resources to get REAL information, reviews, thoughts, and pictures about any treatment from Velashapes to Latisse to Plastic Sugery.

And there you have it: 20% said VelaShape was worth it.

Bummer, VelaShapes.

SmoothShapes, on the other hand, uses two laser wavelengths (650 and 915) to target the appearance of cellulite. Here’s what they each do:

  • 915: Liquefies the adipose fat cells- making them pliable
  • 650: Makes cell membrane permeable so the liquefied fat can move and be drained, reduces inflammation, and increases circulation
  • Then, with the addition of the handheld rollers and suction, we are moving those liquefied cells and then draining them through your lymphatic system.

    Together, these factors synergistically rid the body’s inflexible cellular tissue of its toxins and fat cells, leaving you with healthier, un-inflammed, smoother, tighter skin.

    Here are some recent before and after photos from our clients at Refresh:

    Real Housewife does SmoothShapes!!

    24 May

    Wow! American Health and Beauty tweeted today that Orange County Housewife, Jeana Keough, went on the television show The Doctors to reveal her SmoothShapes results and give an inside look into her last treatment!

    I haven’t been able to find out what results she had, but I will certainly continue to look! And, if any of you know- leave a comment and we’ll discuss it!

    American Health and Beauty had this to say,

    “Cellulite and skirts- not a good mix. This is especially difficult if you live in Orange County, where skirts and shorts are nearly mandatory.

    Jeana Keough, former cast member of Bravo’s Real Housewives of Orange County is no stranger to either- OC dress code or cellulite. SmoothShapes is a low pain, non-invasive process that uses a combination laser and light technique called photomology to improve engorged fat cells and treat cellulite at its source. This treatment causes some of the fat to be released from the fat cells giving them a smoother contour and reducing the appearance of cellulite.

    SmoothShapes requires a series of treatments, ussually 2 per week for 4 weeks at about 20 minutes each, The number of treatments may vary depending on your exact needs. Most patients report feelings as if they’ve had an intense workout after the treatment, and it takes about two weeks to see the results. Some redness is common, and only temporary.

    Jeana underwent her final treatment on The Doctors today and revealed her results. While SmoothShapes is not a permanent solution, you can help maintain your results with proper diet and exercise. Updates are meeded though so you’ll need to return for follow-up treatments once a year.”

    Pretty spot on, AH&B, however, I would like to clear up a few things. They mention that the treatment is low pain. Fortunately, the treatment is actually PAIN FREE. There is absolutely no pain associated with this treatment if you are a medically appropriate candidate. ALso, I would say that from our experience with SmoothShapes, most clients do not report a feeling of having had a heavy workout. Most clients, in all honesty, walk out of the treatment after just having awoken from a nap. That’s how relaxing and pleasant this treatment is.

    Are you a housewife looking to get rid of some cellulite?

    Or are you a single lady looking for smooth thighs for Summer?

    Either way, we have the answer for you!!
