Body-Jet(R), State of the Art Water-Jet Assisted Liposuction Technology To Be Featured on National Television Show, The Doctors This Week

Finally, Waterjet Liposuction reaches the USA! Looks like they've got FDA approval at last! I'm so pleased. It's a fantastic technique, but many people are only looking for the FDA label. This of course takes years for a device from outside the USA. I've had my fair share of skeptics grilling me on this exact point.

Congratulations Humanmed! Well done on clearing FDA & getting Body-Jet into the USA!

Moving Forwards Into New Horizons

I am very excited to finally be able to announce officially that we are on the move again! Our clients who have been visiting the clinic over the past few months may have heard some snippets of our exciting new venture, but nothing could be confirmed until we found the right location!

I have just had confirmation this morning that we will be moving to Robertson Walk. The location is perfect as we will be in a much larger space, just across the road from our current UE Square locale. We'll be on the second floor, above Queen's Tandoor, so privacy & convenience will still be integral. Parking is downstairs in the basement, also free on Sundays, with the big bonus of no one getting lost in the massive multi-sectioned UE car park.

The big move will happen around 1st June. The clinic will be larger, with three full sized treatment rooms. The spa will be massive, with aesthetic, spa and holistic services. We will also have a yoga/meditation studio and mani/pedi services. I'm exploring incorporating foot jacuzzi services into the mani/pedi area after an inspirational trip to Bangkok! We are developing a private label line which is organic and incorporates aromatherapy principles.

I've been itching to blog about the building of the spa for months. We've not had anything exciting for the clinic side, but boy have we had a blast choosing services for the spa! The new spa blog has just been started: www.divinemedspa.blogspot.com. I'll be updating that site regularly to document the progress. Enjoy!

Manual Lymphatic Drainage after Liposuction

I operated on a friend a week ago. It was a straightforward abdominal liposuction (waterjet-plus of course!), removing over 3L of fat. She seemed to trap water quite significantly, so I was concerned that she would be swollen for quite a long time.

There was a small reduction in girth when I saw her 2 days after surgery, and the oozing had stopped. I was pretty happy about that. I was able to keep an eye on her as I was attending a course with her mid week.

The interesting thing about her recovery was her use of her therapist background to speed up the healing process. In particular, reducing the swelling and bruising. Her trick was to do post-natal wraps, use dead sea mud and do manual lymphatic drainage. And it worked! One week post surgery, her reduction is significant! I have to admit that I'm very impressed. I don't think any old lymphatic massage will make such a significant difference. This girl is truly the best Therapist I have had the pleasure of being massaged by. She has magic hands combined with a deep thirst for knowledge, deep passion for spa therapy.

I'm really looking forward to the day when I can combine medical with effective spa treatments such as these to really deliver the best results. In other words, watch this space!
