Beauty Treatment His & Hers investigates Liverpool’s new lunch-break weight loss treatment to see if it really delivers results...
H
ere at His & Hers we’re constantly receiving emails regarding the latest ‘miraculous’ weight-loss treatments (is someone trying to tell us something?) Generally such emails are filed under ‘spam’ in less time than it takes to reach for the biscuit tin. However, when an email arrived inviting us to check out a ‘Zeltiq CoolSculpting’ treatment at Tracey Bell’s Liverpool salon we were willing to suspend our scepticism. For starters, this treatment’s already established in the States, where it’s been used for some time to target stubborn areas of fat that are resistant to exercise, and we know that most beauty crazes that take America by storm ultimately do rather well over here. Also, we were impressed that the Tracey Bell team was willing to let us watch a treatment in progress, talk to clients who’ve lost weight using Zeltiq and view their ‘before and after’ photographs. His & Hers watched a therapist apply an applicator to a client’s stomach (reassuring us that this is a non-invasive treatment with no needles or surgical incisions). The client commented that the treatment was completely pain-free, although it apparently gives a “slightly strange sensation on the skin.” After one treatment skin looks slightly tighter and firmer, but we were told that you can expect to see a more noticeable reduction in stubborn areas of fat within two to four months.
The His & Hers Verdict: We’d recommend this treatment if you have stubborn areas of fat that are resistant to dieting and exercise. For those on a tight budget, there’s no denying that sit-ups are a more cost effective option, but if you’re happy to invest a little time and money on toning up then this treatment does deliver results without pain or effort, which is more than we can say for most weight-loss systems! CoolSculpting by Zeltiq is available from Tracey Bell. Tel. 0151 707 0340 www.traceybell.co.uk
