Cellulite Reduction

1. Are non-surgical Legacy treatment a new innovation in aesthetic medicine and what advantages do they have over conventional surgery/treatment?
DrD: Utilizing Radio frequency based technology to reduce body fats and tightening of skin has been in the market for many years but Legacy is one of the newest innovation in aesthetic medicine for body fats combat. What patients appreciate most is the simplicity of the procedure, where they experience minimal discomfort and effective results. Unlike a traditional surgery where there is a long downtime as medical leave is required for a few days for swelling to go down risking scar, with Legacy, patients can resume their daily activities immediately. However, there is always a limitation to what a machine can do compared to surgery. The doctor will go through a thorough assessment to select who benefits from Legacy versus other alternatives.

2. How does it work?
DrD: Legacy uses an interesting technology based on Multi-Polar RadioFrequency, Pulsed Electro Magnetic Fields and VariPulse Technology which can treat body fats, cellulite, fine lines and loose/sagging skin effectively. During each session, this machine is able to detect heat temperature automatically, which is important to ensure efficacy. Usually, we ensure consistency of heat temperature of at least 40 – 45-celsius degree from the area treated throughout the whole procedure of 30 – 40minutes. With this high temperature, it is able to deeply penetrate the surface of the skin, targeting body fats (to 4.5-5cm depth), maximizing your outcome. The treatment results in lipolysis, synthesis of collagen, contraction of collagen, fibroblast proliferation, lymphatic drainage, and circulation stimulation.

3. How many treatments are needed before the results show?
DrD: On average, results can usually be seen after one session however, more prominent results are noticeable after completion of 6-8sessions based on the individual size of their extra “fat pockets”. Patients will have to comply to our program in order to achieve maximum results. Sometimes, combination with cryolipolysis technology is encouraged to deliver more effective results depending on the individual’s stubborn fats thickness.

4. What is the treatment like?
DrD: The treatment feels like a warm massage, with minor discomfort for beginners. Once they get used to this treatment, it feels normal with heat sensation. Rarely, there may be slight bruising or redness after the treatment.

5. Who is suitable for this treatment?
DrD: Legacy is suitable for anyone who has excess body fats, cellulite, fine lines, and loose saggy skin. This treatment is also suitable for mothers after their pregnancy, who experiences loose wrinkly skin or for those who had achieved an intensive weight loss that results in loose skin. Legacy treatments are clinically proven safe.
