Mercedes Benz Fashion Week aka. “New York Fashion Week” is over tonight after the American Express Cardmembers Only special Philip Lim runway show at the tents, at 10:00 on Thursday night. I have been at the Bryant Park tents, and all over the City, reporting and photographing runway shows and fashion events. But I have also been moving forward to my Zerona Laser Treatments which begin on Monday.
If you are curious about what the Zerona laser is, how it works, and who does this type of treatment, you can refer back to my original post about the Zerona laser and my discussion with Dr. Nicholas Ungaro of Better Body Solutions at: http://www.advicesisters.net/2009/07/lose-weight-in-just-couple-of-lunch.html
This is a “lunchtime lipo” treatment that is non invasive, and features a cold laser that emits light at a wavelength and frequency that communicates directly with your fat cells. The laser creates a temporary pore in targeted fat cells through which the fatty material can “leak” and be picked up by the lymphatic system and processed for removal by the body. The fat cells continue to extrude fat into your body for up to 24 hours after the treatment to help you lose inches. It’s not a surgical, invasive, liposuction treatment, but results for some patients have been pretty astounding! The typical treatment program consists of six forty-five minute sessions performed over the course of two weeks.
I am going to undergo this treatment myself for the next two weeks, starting on Monday. So far, I’ve met with Dr. Ungaro, done some blood tests, he’s gone over them with me, and he prescribed a cocktail of supplements (herbal ones) to take for the week prior to the treatment. I think you continue to take them during the two weeks of the treatment as well, but I’ll be checking with Dr. Ungaro on Monday.
So I’ve taken the supplements all week, during Fashion Week. Although I am a doctor’s daughter and my dad always said a healthy person didn’t really need additional supplements, I have followed Dr. Ungaro’s orders, and have been taking them three times a day (challenging to swallow half a dozen very large pills during Fashion Week, but I’ve managed). The truth is, Fashion Week is mentally and physically exhausting and while I’ve had a pretty busy schedule, I feel pretty good. I can’t say for sure that the supplements are the reason, but I’m beginning to think maybe dad was wrong and the supplements helped keep me energized and focused during one of the busiest weeks of the season.
Monday at 11:00 my first laser treatment will commence. I will be reporting on it as promised. I know many people have been searching for Dr. Nicholas Ungaro, and the Zerona Laser. If you bookmark this blog, or better, yet, subscribe to it by email or in a feed reader, you’ll get all the reports of my progress, as it happens.
Stay tuned for more!
