Considering Liposuction, Facelift or a Tummy Tuck? Try Non-Invasive Viora Reaction Instead As we age, our skin gets thinner, causing some people to look for surgical solutions, including liposuction, a face lift or a tummy tuck. Sagging skin on your stomach or anywhere else on your body makes you feel and look older, and plastic surgery seems like a good anti-aging tool. Unfortunately, it’s expensive, painful and time-consuming. And it may take months to recover from surgery and see full results. There’s a better way to get tighter, smoother skin on your face and body. Viora Reaction is a non-invasive, radio frequency treatment performed during an office visit. Each treatment session takes 15 to 25 minutes, with no downtime. You’ll see initial tightening after just 4 treatments and full results in about 8 treatments. Viora Reaction treats mild to moderate skin laxity on the face and body, including the abdomen. Unlike other RF systems, Viora treats all three skin layers. The device’s vacuum and radio frequency settings offer non-invasive treatment for tighter, firmer skin without surgery. Our practitioner uses Viora’s handpiece on your stomach or other treatment area and adjusts the settings to meet your needs. Viora’s multi-frequency capabilities and vacuum therapy stimulate collagen under the skin’s surface. This renews collagen production immediately after treatment and up to three months post-treatment.

It is more difficult for women to lose weight than it is for men; you may be asking why is it so much easier for them to lose weight. Challenges with managing and maintaining weight for women is due to variety of reasons including diet, habits, lifestyle choices, hereditary challenges and much more. Here are the 10 most common reasons that prevent women (just like you) from losing the weight you have always wanted to get rid of: Reason #1 – Eating Habits Those with hearty appetites tend to have problems with controlling their meal sizes. This can be a great problem since weight-loss authorities state that this is a key part of fighting the bulge. The USDA encourages dieters to “eat less and to avoid oversized portions.” They state that people “may be eating more than” they think because their portions “have increased over time.” The key to managing how much you eat is to be honest with yourself. When you have a cup, are you really having one cup?” Despite what you may want to believe that little bit that you “overlook” tips the scales at the day’s end. In order to manage how much you eat plan out your meals. Be familiar with when and how often you will eat. Snacking on healthy foods as opposed to the normally preferred sweets or chips can also help fill in those in-between meal times. Viora Reaction (Refit) is a revolutionary procedure that eliminates stubborn fat safely and effectively, without surgery or downtime. This fat reduction treatment is the only FDA-cleared procedure to use controlled RF to safely target stubborn fat that is resistant to exercise and diet. With over 1 million treatments completed, Viora Reaction results are proven, noticeable, and lasting, so you’ll look and feel great from every angle. Reason #2 – Blame it on the Alcohol Many have the occasional drink without issue. However, if you are having weight-loss problems, it may be time to consider that drinking even just a moderate amount of alcohol can raise you over the allotted calorie intake. Five ounces of Merlot contains about 122 calories, and the same amount of Chardonnay has about 95 calories. While a 12 ounce can of beer has anywhere from 96 to 209 calories. If that is not bad enough, a cocktail could have about 300 to 400 calories. It may be necessary for you to cut that alcohol out of your life while you work to lose that weight. Reason #3 – Obesity During Pregnancy If your mother gained a great deal of weight when she was pregnant with you, it could illuminate why you are fighting with weight loss. Studies have shown that overweight or obese pregnancies are more likely to produce babies with that are overweight. These overweight babies often grow into overweight adults. It does not mean that this is always the case though. Viora Reaction is a revolutionary procedure that eliminates stubborn fat safely and effectively, without surgery or downtime. This fat reduction treatment is the only FDA-cleared procedure to use controlled cooling to safely target stubborn fat that is resistant to exercise and diet. With over 1 million treatments completed, Viora Reaction results are proven, noticeable, and lasting, so you’ll look and feel great from every angle. Reason #4 – The Gym is Not Part of Your Life The fact that exercise is an important aspect of weight-loss is well known. Unfortunately, many women do not get the exercise needed to get rid of that unwelcome weight. Many weight loss authorities state that one should exercise about 60 minutes every day. This doesn’t just mean things like walking or aerobic exercises. It means including strength training which increases a body’s metabolism longer than regular aerobic exercise. More importantly, strength training forms muscle tissue, and muscle is more effective at burning calories than fat is. If you cannot do 60 minutes, trying for 20 to 30 minutes daily. After all, getting exercise is the main goal. Reason #5 – Starting Your Day Without Breakfast It is widely accepted that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Failing to eat breakfast guarantees that your metabolism, which helps to burn fat, does not work the way that it should. We suggests that you eat breakfast no more than an hour after rising from bed. The best food choices for that weight-loss breakfast is that you have some oatmeal with berries along with some crushed walnuts. Reason #6 – Sometimes, Medicine is the Quiet Culprit It is common knowledge that some medicines can cause one to gain weight. Steroids, which are usually prescribed to manage inflammatory disorders such as asthma, and some antidepressants fall into this category. If you have reason to believe that your medicine may be causing you to gain or retain weight, try asking your physician. If they are unable to recommend a different medicine, then it is up to you to be more attentive to your food intake and the amount of exercise you participate in. Viora Reaction is a revolutionary procedure that eliminates stubborn fat safely and effectively, without surgery or downtime. This fat reduction treatment is the only FDA-cleared procedure to use controlled cooling to safely target stubborn fat that is resistant to exercise and diet. With over 1 million treatments completed, Viora Reaction results are proven, noticeable, and lasting, so you’ll look and feel great from every angle. Reason #7 – Running 100 KM/H Without Sleep Recent studies show that sleep deprivation leads to higher cortisol levels, which is a “stress hormone” that fuels the desire for food. Getting at least seven hours a night can help you with the battle of that obstinate bulge. So make sure to get your sleep. Reason #8 – Thyroid Imbalances There are some women who have hormonal problems which cause problems in weight-loss. The thyroid gland controls the body’s metabolism by pushing out hormones. If the thyroid output isn’t high enough, a condition called hypothyroidism, one can gain a great deal of weight. If you are of the belief that you have thyroid problems making it difficult to lose weight then just ask your doctor to test you. A simple blood test can determine if there are problems in your hormone levels, and if there is a deficiency effective treatments are available. Reason #9 – Stress, Stress and More Stress [Did reading that title alone give you a bit of anxiety? Then read on] Being stressed out a great deal of the time can also make it difficult to lose weight. This is due to the fact that stress creates the cortisol hormone, which makes you hungry. Stress can make you snack thoughtlessly even if you are not hungry. So what should you do when you’re stressed? Instead of eating, try taking a walk or taking a few slow, deep breaths. Reason #10 – Simply Not Eating Enough There are some who have problems with weight-loss because they do not eat enough. Daily caloric intake below 1,200 causes a body to go into a sort of hibernation. This is a slowing of the metabolism which causes the calorie burning to become lengthier. Increasing the amount of calories going in can speed up the metabolism. Viora Reaction is a revolutionary procedure that eliminates stubborn fat safely and effectively, without surgery or downtime.
