What Heather Gay’s Ozempic Journey Reveals...And What Everyone Is Missing.

The Conversation Everyone Is Watching

When a Real Housewives star shares her weight loss journey, people listen.

But when someone like Heather Gay speaks openly about using Ozempic?

It becomes something much bigger.

Heather, who has been candid about her lifelong struggle with weight, revealed she began using Ozempic in 2023 and went on to lose around 25–30 pounds.

But what made her story resonate wasn’t just the weight loss it was what came with it “People Treat You Differently”

One of the most striking parts of her journey wasn’t physical, it was emotional.

Heather openly shared that after losing weight people treated her differently she felt “valued” in a way she hadn’t before; let that sink in.

Despite success, visibility, and confidence before — it was weight loss that changed how the world responded to her. And that says everything about the pressure surrounding appearance today.

The Rise of GLP-1 and the Reality Behind It

Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro have become:

widely used | socially accepted | openly discussed

And for many they work; but behind the results, there’s another reality — one that’s rarely discussed publicly:

The Internal Experience

Clients often report:

nausea and digestive discomfort | bloating and irregular digestion | fatigue and low energy | loss of appetite leading to nutrient gaps

And yet, this part is often dismissed as “just side effects”...

The Missing Conversation

Heather’s story highlights something deeper; weight loss is visible but how the body feels is often invisible.

Many people using GLP-1 say: “I look better but I don’t feel like myself” and this is where the real opportunity lies. Supporting the Body — Not Just the Outcome

GLP-1 medications change:

digestion speed | nutrient absorption | metabolic signalling | appetite regulation

This creates a new type of client one who is lighter externally but often under-supported internally.

Where Light Therapy Becomes Relevant

Red and near-infrared light therapy works at a cellular level; it supports:

mitochondrial function | ATP (energy production) | tissue repair | inflammation regulation

In simple terms, it helps restore the energy the body needs to function properly.

Why This Matters for GLP-1 Users

When digestion slows and intake reduces:

energy drops | repair slows | resilience decreases

Red light therapy may help:

support gut lining integrity | reduce inflammation | improve circulation | assist overall recovery

But here’s the problem most people — and most clinics — use red light incorrectly.

One device | One setting | Same for everyone

But the body doesn’t work like that.

The G-Labs Perspective

What Heather’s story really shows us is this - we are entering a new era of client care where:

weight loss is accelerated | internal balance is disrupted | expectations are higher

This requires a different approach not just treatments, not just trends but structure

within Pleroma Red Light Foundation™, support is delivered through:

structured protocols | targeted application | integration with client presentation

And most importantly — Screening, because the real question is what is actually happening inside the body?

Through advanced screening and analysis , we can identify:

digestive stress patterns | metabolic imbalances | systemic fatigue | underlying disruption

This changes everything from guessing to precision support Heather Gay’s journey is not just a celebrity story.

It’s a signal - a signal that people are changing their bodies faster than ever but support systems have not caught up.

The Future of This Space will not be more treatments, but more products it will be a better understanding of the body during change.

For Clinics & Practitioners - GLP-1 clients are already in your clinic the question is are you set up to support them properly?

Showcasing the Future of Aesthetic and Wellness Technology at Lake Maggiore

Sun, 18 Jan 2026 11:08:03 GMT

Showcasing the Future of Aesthetic and Wellness Technology at Lake Maggiore.

Discover the highlights from our recent event at Lake Maggiore, where science, innovation and advanced aesthetic technology came together to showcase real clinical results and future-ready treatments.

An Iconic Setting for Innovation

On November 11th, in the breathtaking setting of the Grand Hotel des Iles Borromées in Stresa, an iconic destination once frequented by Ernest Hemingway and celebrated international figures, we hosted an exclusive event dedicated to innovation, performance, and the future of aesthetic and wellness technology. Overlooking the serene waters of Lake Maggiore, the venue provided the perfect backdrop for an experience that seamlessly blended Italian heritage, scientific excellence, and modern beauty.

The event welcomed medical doctors, wellness specialists, aesthetic professionals, and global partners from nine different countries, creating a truly international atmosphere. Designed to highlight the philosophy and real-world results behind our technologies, the day also celebrated the brand’s most recent achievements and its growing global presence.

A Curated Experience of Wellness, Science and Excellence

The programme unfolded across three interconnected moments: an immersive wellness experience, an inspiring scientific conference enriched by expert discussions, and a prestigious awards ceremony followed by an elegant evening celebration. Each element was carefully curated to reflect our commitment to combining advanced technology, clinical evidence, and holistic well-being.

Live Demonstrations: Visible Results Without Compromise

After arriving and settling into the hotel, participants were invited to take part in an interactive, hands-on demonstration session showcasing the versatility and precision of VIP Hi-Line technology. These demonstrations allowed professionals to experience first-hand how our devices perform in real clinical and aesthetic environments.

Live treatments revealed immediate and measurable results, including facial swelling and puffiness reduction following a 30-minute Linfogei lymphatic drainage session, lower face and jawline lifting achieved with Isogei facial lifting protocols, and advanced facial contouring, nasolabial line reduction, and skin tone enhancement through a combined Transion and Isogei approach. The sessions reinforced our ability to deliver effective outcomes without pain, redness, swelling, or downtime.

Visible Results

Scientific Perspectives from International Experts

The conference segment added scientific depth to the experience, featuring insights from internationally renowned experts who shared their clinical perspectives on VIP Hi-Line technology.

Dr Alexey Schwarz, PhD in Physiology and Cardiovascular Pharmacology from the University of Zurich, and a leading specialist in physiotherapy, presented his research into muscle stimulation using VIP Hi-Line Lipo . His work demonstrated how targeted neuromuscular activation positively influences body composition, supports muscle mass development, and enhances rehabilitation and weight management outcomes across a wide range of clinical cases.

From a holistic health perspective, Dr Virginia Meskenaite, PhD in Neuroscience, explored the role of VIP Hi-Line technology in supporting stress reduction, improved sleep quality, and deep relaxation. Her presentation highlighted the importance of the nervous system in aesthetic and wellness outcomes, positioning VIP Hi-Line as a valuable tool within integrative treatment approaches.

Dermatology Insights and Real-World Clinical Results

Dermatologist Dr Sandugash Shakhbatyrova shared compelling clinical results achieved with VIP Hi-Line, demonstrating significant improvements in skin rejuvenation, lifting, and post-treatment recovery. She explained how the technology uniquely activates essential physiological processes, particularly the nervous system, while delivering visible lifting and toning effects at both muscle and skin levels.

“There is currently no other device on the market capable of lifting, toning, and redefining facial contours at both the muscle and skin levels without causing redness, swelling, or pain,” noted Dr Shakhbatyrova.

She also revealed that professional athletes from FC Kairat, a Premier League football club based in Almaty, use VIP Hi-Line as part of their physical recovery programmes, further demonstrating the versatility and performance of the technology beyond aesthetics.

Education, Accreditation and the Future of Aesthetic Practice

A pivotal contribution to the event came from Lea Lawrence, founder of G-Labs and a globally respected advocate of our treatments. Lea is the recipient of the Roberta MacMillan Fellow of the Complementary Medicine Association Lifetime Achievement Award (2025), presented at The Global Summit of Excellence.

In collaboration with VIP Italia, Lea has developed the world’s first CMA-accredited CPD training and treatment programmes for practitioners and therapists. These innovative protocols combine decades of clinical expertise with advanced technology to address skin laxity, muscle tone, fat metabolism, lymphatic drainage, and metabolic rebalancing. Designed to support both facial and body rejuvenation, the programmes offer clinicians a structured, accredited pathway to delivering safe, ethical, and holistic care.

Addressing the growing demand for support around GLP-1 weight loss injections such as Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro, Lea highlighted how our accredited protocols provide practitioners with practical, evidence-based solutions to help patients manage both physical and emotional side effects.

Celebrating Global Partnerships and Industry Leadership

The conference concluded with a prestigious awards ceremony, hosted by VIP Italia CEO Egor Andreev. During the ceremony, Mr Zhang Zhengbo, Mr Xiang Changlin, and Mr Zhou Bing, CEOs of Himika, were honoured for their outstanding contribution to the growth and success of the VIP Italia brand.

Their achievements were recognised with the SPA and Wellness Award “The Most Effective SPA Equipment of the Year 2025” , presented by SpaChina , celebrating the exceptional success of VIP Hi-Line in the Chinese market. In a powerful closing moment, all participating medical and beauty professionals were invited onto the stage, recognising their collective role in advancing innovation and excellence across the global aesthetics and wellness industry.

An Elegant Conclusion

As evening fell, guests gathered in the opulent Sala Minola for a refined cocktail party and gala dinner. Live music, signature cocktails, and meaningful conversations created an atmosphere of celebration and connection. The night concluded with dancing and festivities before guests retired to their Arabian Nights-inspired rooms, bringing a perfect close to a day dedicated to innovation, collaboration, and beauty.

Beyond the Needle: Sharon Osbourne’s Cautionary Tale and Toyah Willcox’s Glow-Up

Beyond the Needle:

Sharon Osbourne’s Cautionary Tale and Toyah Willcox’s Glow-Up

Beyond the Needle:

Sharon Osbourne’s Cautionary Tale and Toyah Willcox’s Glow-Up

The New Era of Aesthetic Wellness is when reinvention meets responsibility for both practitioner and client — how the conversation on transformation is finally changing.

Sharon Osbourne has always spoken her mind — and when it comes to her weight and wellness journey, she’s kept it just as real. From surgery to self-reflection, her transformation is about more than appearance — It’s a raw and relatable story of change, connection, and consciousness.

“I Went Too Far,” Sharon Osbourne, 72, Reveals What’s Really Behind Her New Look.

Her Journey Started with Surgery — But It Didn’t Feel Right.

In the late ’90s, Sharon underwent lap band surgery, shedding over 100 pounds. The physical shift was dramatic, but emotionally, it fell short. “It made me feel like a cheat,” she later admitted. By 2006, she had it removed, recognising that quick fixes rarely bring peace.

Enter Ozempic — and the Warning from Sharon Herself.

Like many others, she turned to the new wave of GLP-1 medications. While they worked quickly, Sharon was candid about the darker side: “You can lose so much weight, and it’s easy to become addicted to that — which is very dangerous.” The nausea, the lack of appetite — and the growing sense of imbalance — left her rethinking what wellness really means.

Finding Balance After Years of Extremes

Sharon revealed that she once dropped below 100 pounds — “I’m too gaunt,” she told the Daily Mail. Even her husband, Ozzy, was concerned. “I think I went too far,” she admitted. What followed wasn’t another procedure — it was a perspective shift: “I’ve finally become more accepting of my body and my looks.”

The Turning Point — From Extreme to Integrative.

Sharon’s story mirrors a collective awakening. As global voices in aesthetics and wellness start speaking out, the future of aesthetics is no longer invasive, extreme, or fleeting. It’s intelligent, integrative, and enduring.

Where Science Meets Sensibility — A New Era

Performer Toyah Willcox, currently in the midst of 36 live performances, shared her own discovery of alternative, needle-free support:

“The GLP-1 & GIP Weightlessness™ PEF 360° MTX patches are FANTASTIC — they curb cravings through a very busy run up to Christmas and 36 performances.”

— Toyah Willcox, Performer & Client

These advanced transdermal formulations deliver GLP-1 receptor support without injections — balancing energy, appetite, and emotional well-being through biochemistry and frequency.

The Future of Beauty & Balance

From Sharon’s lessons to Toyah’s glow, one truth stands clear: the new aesthetics and wellness era is about sustainability and embraces balance for vitality so that it aligns with the body’s intelligence. Both highlight a universal truth: the future of aesthetics isn’t invasive, extreme, or fleeting - it’s integrative, intelligent, and enduring - the industry enters a new chapter.

GLP-1 & GIP Jabs Could Invalidate Your Travel Insurance: Here’s What You Need to Know

Tue, 22 Jul 2025 12:38:28 GMT

GLP-1 & GIP Jabs Could Invalidate Your Travel Insurance: Here’s What You Need to Know.

What is GLP-1

GLP-1, or glucagon-like peptide-1, is a hormone integral to appetite regulation and insulin secretion. Leveraging this pathway, treatments can effectively curb hunger and enhance satiety, ultimately reducing caloric intake.

What is GIP

GIP, or glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide, plays a pivotal role in blood sugar regulation and fat metabolism. It's key in encouraging fat reduction and preventing fat accumulation, positioning it as a critical component in weight management strategies.

If you’re one of the over 500,000 people in the UK using GLP-1 injections like Wegovy, Mounjaro, or Ozempic, your travel insurance might be quietly invalidated. Yes, really.

Here’s what every weight loss traveller needs to know before boarding their next flight.

The GLP-1 Insurance Catch

GLP-1s are classed as prescription medications. And many travellers don’t realise that *undeclared medications* can *void their travel insurance*, even if the meds are unrelated to the reason for the claim.

Major publications (The Sun, ITVX, CraveMag, Internewscast) have all highlighted that:

→ Travel policies require full disclosure of all medications

→ Failure to declare = breach of policy

→ Average emergency medical claim abroad: £1,700+

That’s a very expensive mojito in Marbella.

So… Must I Declare GLP-1s on Travel Insurance?

Yes. Even if you’re only “dabbling” in Mounjaro or Wegovy before a holiday, you are technically taking a prescribed medication with systemic metabolic effects. Most insurers classify GLP-1 use as a material risk.

Failing to mention it in your medical declaration can mean your insurer refuses to pay out if you become ill or injured, regardless of whether it’s related to your weight loss meds or not.

Enter: Transdermal IV Weightlessness I PEF 360° TX™

Here’s the good news.

You don’t have to choose between your weight loss goals and your travel protection.

The G-Labs Transdermal IV Weightlessness I PEF 360° TX™ system offers:

✅ All the support of GLP-1s

✅ None of the needles

✅ No need to declare

GLP-1 Jabs Could Invalidate Your Travel Insurance

Here’s What You Need to Know (and the beautiful alternative G-Labs offers)

Imagine this:

You’ve finally booked the retreat of your dreams — Santorini sunsets, barefoot luxury, spa rituals by the sea. You’ve got the new swimsuit, the aesthetic outfits, your passport… but what about your travel insurance?

If you're using GLP-1 injections (like Wegovy, Mounjaro or Ozempic), that trip might come with a silent risk no one’s talking about — until now.

The Hidden Clause That Could Ruin Your Holiday.

Over 500,000 people in the UK are currently prescribed GLP-1 weight loss injections. Many are celebrating the results, but few realise that failure to disclose this medication can void travel insurance policies entirely.

Yes, even if:

Your claim is unrelated to your GLP-1 use

You were prescribed it legally and correctly

You're using it for weight loss, insulin resistance, or PCOS

As reported by major news outlets like ITVX, The Sun, Crave Mag, and Inter News Cast, the issue lies in policy non-disclosure. These medications are still classified as specialist or unlicensed in many travel clauses — and undeclared use = breach of contract.

What happens then?

You’re not just uninsured. You’re potentially liable for thousands.

The average medical emergency abroad can cost £1,700 – £20,000+, depending on where you are. And when the insurers discover the omission? They won’t pay out.

For something as small as a headache that turns into a hospital visit, the financial and emotional impact could be devastating.

The G-Labs Solution: Transdermal IV Weightlessness I PEF 360° TX™

We believe transformation should never cost your peace.

Welcome to the world’s first travel-safe, transdermal GLP-1 support system — Weightlessness™ by G-Labs.

This is not a jab - This is a journey.

Weightlessness™ is our signature transdermal protocol — a needle-free, plant-powered, frequency-enhanced patch system designed to support the very same metabolic pathways GLP-1 injections affect, without the risk or paperwork.

Scientific Basis of Weightlessness™ Technology

1. Transdermal Delivery Systems (TDS):

By bypassing the digestive tract and liver, transdermal patches provide more stable blood levels of active compounds, improving efficacy and reducing gastrointestinal side effects — essential during travel.

2. Biofield Science:

PEF 360° TX™ operates on the principle of coherent frequency modulation — interacting with the body’s endogenous electromagnetic field to support energy regulation, like PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field) therapies.

Source: Rubik B. “The biofield hypothesis: its biophysical basis and role in medicine.” J Altern Complement Med. 2002.

3. Circadian & Metabolic Synchronisation:

Frequent travel can disrupt melatonin, cortisol, and insulin rhythms. Biofrequency inputs have been shown to help restore these natural cycles — critical for appetite control, sleep quality, and mood balance.

4. Energy Medicine & Frequency-Based Support:

Subtle vibrational therapeutics have been explored in supporting the body’s innate regulatory functions, especially when used with intention and precision-coded stimuli.

Nails, Fingers and Toes

Wed, 14 May 2025 10:47:13 GMT

Nails, Fingers & Toes

Did you know that finger and toenails can alert Specialists to Organ Failure, Inflammation, or Worse?

Finger and toenails, and dis-ease, don’t often go together in most minds, but they should. Your finger and toenails can give you valuable health warnings and signal the presence of severe disease.

Take a good, long look at your nails. Hold a hand level with your nose about a foot out from your face and scrutinise each one.

Look at the curves, dips, ridges, and grooves. Observe the thickness or thinness of the nail and check for chipping or breaking. Please note the colour of the nail itself, the skin under it, and the skin around the nail.

Check your memory – have your nails always looked like this?

Changes to your fingernails and the onset of dis-ease are linked, so note any new developments. With this fresh view, compare what you see with this list of eight potential fingernail health warnings.

1. Discoloured nails

A healthy finger or toenail should be pink with a touch of pinkish-white (moony) near the base, or buffish-off-white, allowing for variations in skin tone. If your nails are a dull colour or streaked with other colours, you may have a serious hidden health problem.

-Green nails are a sign of bacterial infection

-Red streaks in your nail bed are a warning of a heart valve infection

-Blueish nails signal low oxygen levels in your blood

-Dull nails mean a vitamin deficiency

-White nails may signal liver disease, such as hepatitis

-Dark stripes at the top (Terry’s nails) are associated with ageing and congestive heart failure

Scrub those nails clean and look at your natural nail colour! Given the “rainbow” of potential health challenges, you want to be sure you see what your fingers are saying.

2. Thick nails

Thick nails are not natural. You want your nails to be strong, but if they resemble talons or claws more than traditional nails, watch out!

-Thickened nails that are otherwise normal can signal lung disease

-Thick and rough-textured nails can signal a fungal infection

-Thick and separated nails may mean thyroid disease or psoriasis

-Unusual thickness may also be a symptom of a circulation problem

Thickening nails are a change that should alert you to other health symptoms you may be ignoring. Also, be aware of allergic reactions to new medications, which can manifest as suddenly thickened nails.

3. Split nails

Split nails aren’t just occasionally chipped or shut in doors. Instead, these nails seem to flake away in layers. Don’t blame frequent handwashing or nail polish for everything, especially since:

-Split nails result from folic acid, Vitamin C, and protein deficiencies

-Split nails with a pitted nail bed can indicate psoriasis, which affects the nails in 10% of cases.

-Split nails may result from chronic malnutrition

Watch what you eat and consider the connection between your diet and psoriasis to fight back and pay closer attention to your overall health.

4. Concave (Spoon) nails

Spoon fingernails signal several internal issues. To be considered full spoons, nails will be soft and curve up, forming a dip that is often big enough to hold water. Spoon nails signal:

-Iron deficiency (usually from anaemia)

-Hemochromatosis, a liver disorder where your body absorbs too much iron

-Heart disease

-Hypothyroidism

For many people, their nail and health challenges go hand in hand; resolving their health issues often leads to their nails returning to normal.

5. Pitted nails

Small dips or holes in your nails can be a result of banging up your hands, or they could be a sign that you need to look more closely at your health. Nail pitting can signal:

-Psoriasis

-Connective tissue disorder

-Alopecia areata, an autoimmune disorder that causes hair loss

-Zinc deficiency (when the pit seems to form a line across the middle of your nail)

Observe your hands and feet to distinguish between natural nail dents and dings, as well as any lasting pits. The first will clear up quickly, but pits associated with disease can linger.

6. Ridges

Nails should have smooth surfaces with almost imperceptible lines. Obvious ridgelines are a signal that something is up with your body. Some of the most common conditions associated with heavy ridges lines are:

-Iron deficiency

-Inflammatory arthritis

-Lupus (for red lines at the base of your nails)

Don’t just buff away your ridges – hear their warning!

7. Dry, brittle nails

You don’t need lotion or cuticle oil. If your nails are dry and brittle, consider checking your hormone levels and bacterial health.

Thyroid disease leads to brittle, dry fingernails that crack and split easily.

Fungus can cause nails to become dry or even crumbly, affecting approximately 12% of individuals.

Both thyroid and fungal issues require time to treat, so you won’t see a noticeable difference in the appearance of your nails until the complete growth cycle is complete.

8. Clubbed nails

If you have plump skin that seems to swell around the nail, or if your nails seem to have puffed around your fingers, they are said to be “clubbed”. Clubbed nails can mean:

-Lung disease, especially if you already have trouble breathing

-Inflammatory bowel disease

-Liver disease

-AIDS

Your nails won’t be the only signs of dis-ease, but they can provide confirmation or motivation to seek medical care. Please don’t ignore the warnings your hands and feet send. Nails and disease are more closely related than you think.

Check your nails often to protect your health, give yourself a treat and consider a relaxing manicure and pedicure at home, salon, or spa this week and for acute, chronic, or mild concerns. act now, find out more .

The Lifestyle & Self-Care Solutions for Rapid Weight Loss

Tue, 29 Apr 2025 06:52:22 GMT

The Lifestyle & Self-Care Solutions for Rapid Weight Loss.

TV personality Gemma Collins has experienced unexpected side effects from the weight loss medication Mounjaro and has been left shocked at the side effects of the weight loss medication.

‘This just isn’t right,’ said the alarmed TV personality, who reports looking significantly older and attributes the change to her rapid weight loss. “This just isn’t right,” she wrote on social media. Collins has been taking Mounjaro, which the NHS approved in January, and setting herself a very ambitious weight loss target.

Experts say rapid weight loss can lead to facial fat loss, making people appear older. Reversing these side effects requires non-surgical technology solutions, invasive fillers, or plastic surgery, as natural facial volume is lost.

The 44-year-old TV personality has always been candid about her relationship with her body image. In January, she revealed she had started taking weight loss injection Mounjaro, approved by the NHS. However, the treatment and its more famous counterpart, Ozempic, have side effects that can vary according to the individual. The drastic weight change makes some of these most noticeable around the face.

Gemma feels that she now looks significantly “older” after she lost two stone since being on the medication. “I don't know what's happened to me, it's just come on overnight, but it has been a year since I've had any little tweaks.

“Ozempic face” is a term used to describe the change in facial appearance following the drastic weight loss associated with the jab. Experts have warned that users can look more “aged” as key parts of the face become “deflated”.

“I've always had a fuller face, as you know,” Collins continued. “I do like expression around my eyes. I want to look natural still. But this just isn't right. What has happened? I am 44, but this is taking it to levels I never imagined reaching.”

In an interview with the New York Times, New York-based plastic surgeon Dr. Oren Tepper said the increase in “Ozempic faces” is unsurprising. “When it comes to facial ageing, fat is typically more friend than foe,” he explained. “Weight loss may turn back your biological age, but it tends to turn your facial clock forward.” The dermatologists suggest that to reverse the side effect, one should inject fillers, which can cost thousands of dollars. Dr Tepper says that when a significant amount of weight is lost rapidly, fillers may not be enough to restore lost volume in the face. At that point, he said plastic surgery becomes “the only way to restore the volume loss.” He said individuals using drugs to lose weight often do not realise the impact it will have on their face.

The drug is taking Hollywood & the UK by storm, and experts warn that the cosmetic downsides are catching up. So, blockbuster weight loss weekly injections, Ozempic and Monujaro, now also cause a surprising side effect in your feet, doctors say, and some celebrities are already showing signs. 'Ozempic feet' refers to sagging or aging skin on the feet due to rapid fat loss and it's the latest addition to a growing list of concerns that includes 'Ozempic face' and 'Ozempic butt', both caused by dramatic changes in body fat. Dr Barry Weintraub, a New York-based board-certified plastic surgeon, said that losing fat can impact water retention in the body and cause excessive sagging in the feet.

Ozempic, along with sister drug Mounjaro, is approved to treat type 2 diabetes but is widely used off-label for weight loss, especially among celebrities. Figures from 2024, which are likely an undercount, suggest one in eight Americans and one in 12 UK women have taken a GLP-1 drug like Ozempic.

Now, fans are speculating that stars like Sharon Osbourne and Oprah Winfrey, both of whom have admitted to taking weight-loss drugs, may be among the first to show signs of the surprising foot-related side effect.

Sharon Osbourne took to Instagram to share a cosy picture of herself with her two-year-old grandson, but eagle-eyed spectators quickly pointed out signs of excessive wrinkling and extreme weight loss.

Similarly, TV spectators noticed excessive wrinkling on 71-year-old Oprah's feet when the American host and television producer was onstage at the 55th NAACP Image Awards at Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. The skin on the top of the foot is delicate and thin and has lower fat reserves than the skin on the bottom or sole of the foot.

Others commented, 'Ozempic or Mounjaro made our arms, abdomens, bodies, buttocks, face, feet, legs, and thighs sag as their terrifying side effects. As you age, the fat pads on your feet can become even scarcer, leading to looser skin and wrinkles.

However, Dr Weintraub explained that taking weight loss drugs such as Ozempic or Mounjaro can significantly reduce the fat reserves in the whole body, including the feet, leading to excessive sagging and wrinkles due to muscle loss.

Osbourne hasn't commented on the potential side effects but has previously stated that she had to stop taking Ozempic because she was losing too much weight. The star's perfectly smooth facial complexion, which some users claimed was achieved with a filter, contrasted heavily with her feet. One Instagrammer commented: 'Beautiful airbrushed photo, but feet tell your age'. Another quipped: 'How strange when the skin on your hands and feet doesn't match the skin on your face'.

Dr Weintraub explained: 'Without having had the opportunity to examine in person, the veiny and sagging skin on the top and sides of the foot might be a result of the new lack of water retention due to a decreased BMI caused by Ozempic or other such weight-loss medication.

Ozempic feet are just the latest body part to be warped because of the rapid and drastic weight loss turbocharged by Ozempic and similar drugs. 'As the heart becomes less taxed with extra weight, the water retention decreases, and the substructures of the foot (veins, tendons, bones) often become more visible.'

In 2023, Winfrey admitted to using a GLP-1 drug to shed nearly 50 pounds after decades of yo-yo dieting. She has yet to comment on which weight loss drug she took, but she said she almost reached her goal weight of 160 pounds (72kg). In February, Winfrey was photographed at the NAACP Image Awards, and the skin on the top of her feet looked looser and saggy.

Once the ambassador for the diet program Weight Watchers, she stepped down after admitting to using a weight-loss drug and now refers to the drugs as a 'maintenance tool' and not a quick fix for dropping pounds. Earlier this year, the media mogul said taking weight-loss drugs, like Ozempic and Wegovy, helped her realise the truth about 'thin people.' 'One of the things that I realised the very first time I took a GLP-1 was that all these years I thought that thin people had more willpower,' Winfrey confessed. They ate better food, could stick to it longer, and never had a potato chip; however, to fix Ozmepic feet, Dr Weintraub told with the feet, it is possible to perform a "foot lift" with incisions located on the sides of the foot where they are more hidden.

Katy Perry also ignited rumours that she suffered from an Ozempic face after appearing on the red carpet with a much slimmer physique and a gaunt-looking face. 'Ozempic face' has increasingly been seen on celebrities, who look gaunt with sunken eyes, hollow cheekbones, and sagging faces.

Katy Perry, Scott Disick and Jessica Simpson have all been labelled as suffering from the side effects after fans noticed their slimmed-down looks while the stars were out and about.

Additionally, the term 'Ozempic butt' has been coined to describe the deflated look of a person's backside after GLP-1 weight loss. Some users who have lost considerable amounts of weight said their buttocks have now 'completely disappeared' and shrunk so much they can 'feel every bone'. Some even said the problem was so bad they were constantly covering up their buttocks because they are self-conscious of the way they look.

So, are you experiencing the emotional side effects of weight loss from the appearance of sagging arms, abdomen, body, buttocks, face, feet, legs, and thighs?

Orforglipron GLP-1 Pill: The Future of Weight Loss Treatments?

Orforglipron GLP-1 Pill:

The Future of Weight Loss Treatments ?

Orforglipron GLP-1 Pill: The Future of Weight Loss Treatments ?

Orforglipron, currently under development, could become one of the first GLP-1 pills approved for weight loss. How does it differ from existing treatments, and what does this mean for the future of weight loss medications?

For years, the solution to obesity was always simple: “Eat less and move more.”

Until GLP-1 weight loss treatments like Mounjaro, Wegovy, and Saxenda have transformed the lives of patients who have long struggled with their weight, enabling them to lose up to 20% of their initial body weight.

Building on the success of these injections, manufacturers are now turning their attention to the next frontier of weight loss treatments: oral GLP-1 pills. And at the forefront of this development is a drug called orforglipron.

So, what could the arrival of orforglipron mean for the future of weight and obesity management?

This article explores orforglipron and how it differs from current weight loss treatments. We also explore how the oral pill might reshape obesity management in the years ahead.

What is Orforglipron ?

Orforglipron is a once-daily oral pill currently in development for weight management and treating type-2 diabetes.

Eli Lilly, the manufacturer of the weight loss injection Mounjaro, expects that orforglipron will be available by early 2026. However, a specific release date has not yet been established.

Orforglipron is a medication in the class of drugs known as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists.

GLP-1 receptor agonists, including weight loss injections such as Mounjaro, Saxenda, and Wegovy, are available in the UK.

In contrast to injectable GLP-1 medications, Orforglipron is part of a novel class of substances called “small-molecule, nonpeptide compounds.” This distinctive formulation allows the body to absorb and use Orforglipron upon oral administration efficiently.

How Orforglipron Works

Like Mounjaro, Ozempic and Wegovy, orforglipron is a GLP-1 receptor agonist.

GLP-1 agonists mimic the effect of GLP-1, a hormone your stomach releases when you eat food. This slows digestion, delays stomach emptying, and suppresses your appetite, which helps you lose and manage weight.

These treatments were developed to target type 2 diabetes. They assist the body in producing insulin while regulating blood sugar levels.

Orforglipron works slightly differently to GLP-1 injections. The medication has a non-peptide structure, which provides the same effects as weight loss pens when swallowed.

Injectable GLP-1 treatments, like Mounjaro and Wegovy, possess a peptide-like structure. They consist of large, complex compounds that the stomach's acid and enzymes could damage (how the body breaks down food). These compounds are too large to pass through the stomach wall, making them unsuitable for oral consumption (i.e., swallowing).

However, the new non-peptide compounds of orforglipron are smaller and more resilient. The stomach will not destroy them, allowing them to pass through the stomach’s wall. This enables oral administration while still producing similar effects to other GLP-1s.

Orforglipron vs. GLP-1 Injections

Although injections such as Wegovy and Mounjaro are known to be highly effective, they may not be the most convenient option for all. Many believe orforglipron, a daily oral pill, will serve as a more “patient-friendly” alternative to GLP-1 injections.

But how does Orforglipron compare to traditional GLP-1 injections? And is it the more convenient option? “A patient taking tablets instead of injectables will likely have fewer concerns about how to use the medication.”

Is Orforglipron More “Patient-Friendly"?

Many people find pills easier to take and less intrusive than injections. Research has found that patients often “preferred to avoid injectable medications in part due to embarrassment and inconvenience.”

Discretion is also essential for patients. Unfortunately, both carrying excess weight and using GLP-1 medications for weight loss have a stigma. Injections like Wegovy or Mounjaro require refrigeration before use, making them less discreet. Orforglipron is non-peptide, so strictly maintaining a cold chain for storage and transport is unimportant. This could make storing away from friends, family or visitors easier. And for individuals with a fear of needles, taking a daily oral pill is far less daunting.

Aamina Rafiq, Lead Pharmacist, agrees that a pill could be “easier for patients” who can find the injections hard to use, especially at the beginning of their weight loss journey.

“We get a lot of questions about how to use the injection,” she says. “Patients often ask where they should inject it. Proper storage of pens is a common concern, especially when people travel.

“A patient taking tablets instead of injectables may have fewer concerns about how to use the medication.

There are also cases of misuse with the injections, whether intentional or not, like microdosing or stretching doses, so many of these issues are prevented with an oral option.

Pills will not suit every patient.

Still, not everyone will find the dosage friendly, as it is taken daily, and some patients may prefer a weekly injection, as it may be easier to remember and integrate into their routine.

An oral GLP-1 weight loss pill for type 2 diabetes, Rybelsus, is available in the UK. The pill contains semaglutide (the same active ingredient in Wegovy and Ozempic) and comes with strict instructions.

You must take it on an empty stomach when you first wake up. You must also wait 30 minutes before eating, drinking, or taking other medications.

We do not know the exact instructions for taking orforglipron. But if the directions are like Rybelsus, orforglipron might not suit every patient’s lifestyle.

Effectiveness:

Phase-two trials found that obese and overweight patients taking orforglipron lost on average 14.7% body weight over 36 weeks.

This is around the same amount of weight that patients on Mounjaro lose throughout treatment. A separate 72-week trial found that obese or overweight patients using Mounjaro, the most effective weight loss injection, lost between 15% and 20% of their body weight.

Side Effects:

The phase-two trials for orforglipron found side effects like those seen with GLP-1 weight loss injections.

Patients taking orforglipron most reported gastrointestinal side effects. This is the same as most GLP-1 jabs, like Mounjaro, where common side effects include nausea, vomiting, constipation, and diarrhoea.

These side effects were mild to moderate and usually occurred when patients increased their dosage. Again, patients on GLP-1 injections report worsening side effects as they move up a dose.

However, we will not know the complete list of orforglipron side effects until the drug receives approval.

Orforglipron vs. Existing Weight Loss Pills:

Orforglipron is not the only GLP-1 weight loss pill in development. Novo Nordisk, the manufacturer behind Wegovy, is currently trialling a once-daily weight loss pill called amycretin.

So, it’s clear there is a demand for an oral version of popular weight loss injections, and drugmakers are rushing to meet that demand.

However, oral weight loss pills are already available in the UK: Rybelsus, an oral GLP-1 (semaglutide), and Orlistat, which has an entirely different mode of action. The popularity of these existing drugs—and barriers preventing wider uptake—can help clarify how orforglipron might change the weight loss treatment landscape.

Rybelsus:

Rybelsus, an oral GLP-1 weight loss drug, was approved by the MHRA to treat type 2 diabetes in 2019. However, over the years, it has garnered attention for its effectiveness. In the past couple of years, there has been a significant global shortage of the drug.

This indicates a high demand for oral GLP-1s. And the availability of oral medication licensed for weight loss, like orforglipron, could help ease shortages.

Research also highlights concerns about oral semaglutide being less effective for weight reduction than the approved dose of injectable semaglutide.

Therefore, a “need for oral treatment options” with “weight-reduction efficacy similar to that of the approved and currently available injectable GLP-1 receptor agonists.” Promising phase-two trials suggest orforglipron could help meet this need.

Orlistat:

Orlistat, licensed in 1998, was the first weight loss pill available in the UK.

It works very differently from GLP-1 medication. The capsules you take with each meal prevent you from digesting about a third of the fat in your food. Over the last ten years, the usage of orlistat has fallen, probably because of the rise of more effective weight loss options. NHS England reports that in 2010, approximately 1.28 million prescriptions were issued in England. By 2020, this figure had dropped to about 292,000.

However, it has remained a popular weight loss option among patients who find the drug simple and effective. As a once-daily oral pill, orlistat might be an attractive option for patients who choose orlistat over GLP-1 jabs.

Is Orforglipron the Future of Weight Loss Treatments ?

Once Orforglipron gains authorisation and becomes widely adopted, its impact on weight loss and obesity management will be clearer. Subsequently, we can assess the uptake and examine initial anecdotal evidence. Researchers will also need time to collect data and conduct clinical studies.

Nonetheless, GLP-1 pills like Orforglipron offer patients enhanced options and flexibility, and few may find a once-daily pill less intimidating and more discreet, while others might prefer a once-weekly injection.

We have observed similar patterns in other medical areas, where patients can choose the treatment that suits them best. For example, various methods of contraception, hair loss treatments, and allergy treatments are available.

Orforglipron represents an exciting advancement in weight loss treatments. The future of weight loss is heading towards more flexibility and options for patients.

Key Takeaways:

Orforglipron is a daily oral GLP-1 pill. Compared to existing GLP-1 injections, it offers a more discreet and user-friendly weight loss and management option.

Potential Benefits of Orforglipron:

- Patients may find Orforglipron easier to use than injections, particularly those who experience anxiety around needles or have concerns about storage and administration.

Potential Drawbacks of Orforglipron:

Daily dosing may not suit every patient's schedule.

Clinical trials have shown that Orforglipron is effective. Over 36 weeks, patients lost an average of 14.7% of their body weight.

The side effects are like those associated with GLP-1 injections. Trials indicated that the main side effects included gastrointestinal issues, such as nausea and diarrhoea. However, the complete safety profile will not be known until approval.

Orforglipron has the potential to expand weight loss treatment options. The drug may enhance accessibility, eliminate barriers, and increase patients' use of GLP-1s for weight loss and management.

What is Lipoedema?

Thu, 27 Feb 2025 12:02:39 GMT

What is Lipoedema?

What is Lipoedema?

The condition affects 1 in 10 women with symptoms mistaken for obesity.

It’s a condition that is often mistaken for obesity and can leave women feeling ashamed or embarrassed about their bodies.

However, lipoedema, as former Love Island star Shaughna Phillips has pointed out, is not the fault of women who have it.

What is the condition, and what can be done about it ?

Lipoedema is a chronic condition caused by abnormal body fat. These excess abnormal fat cells typically build up in the legs, hips and bottom, often making the lower body appear more prominent. It can sometimes include fat buildup in the arms.

It can make the skin appear lumpy or have nodules, making it more sensitive to touch or bruising.

It’s a condition that only affects women, and while the NHS doesn’t know exactly how many are affected, Lipoedema UK estimates that up to one in ten women have it and it affects the lower body.

While it is standard, Lipoedema UK says little research has been done on the condition, including its causes and treatments, since it was first named in the 1940s.

What little researchers agree on about the condition is that it is very likely a genetic condition, with many women in the same family often affected by it. It is a hormonal condition, and it usually begins to develop around puberty, around pregnancy or during menopause.

What has Love Island star Shaughna Phillips said about having the condition?

Ms Phillips shared a photo of herself on Twitter, saying it was “such a clear example” of the condition. “How anyone can accuse sufferers of being lazy/fat is beyond me. It is a medical condition that 1/11 women suffer with, often in silence, often misdiagnosed,” she wrote in 2022. “I was struggling with an eating disorder. I was underweight. I was torturing myself in the gym. Yet my legs were getting bigger and bigger. Lipoedema has nothing to do with being overweight. So, it is damaging to continue treating women as if it’s their fault.”

What are the symptoms of Lipoedema ?

There are three stages of lipoedema.

In the first stage, the skin can appear smooth, but small lumpy nodules can be felt under the skin. These nodules can be sensitive and easily bruised.

In stage 2, the skin is more visibly pebbly or dimpled, and in stage 3, more extensive irregular fat deposits can form around thighs and knees.

Lipoedema can cause joint pain and heaviness in the affected limbs, and in the later stages, it can lead to more severe mobility and joint issues.

The body changes caused by lipoedema can also lead to self-esteem issues and feelings of shame, embarrassment, anxiety and depression.

Lipoedema can vary in severity (Wikimedia/Borgardottir)

How is it treated ?

While it affects body fat because the fat cells in lipoedema are disordered, dieting and exercise do not affect it the same way those measures help with normal fat loss.

However, while diet cannot cure lipoedema, the NHS recommends maintaining a healthy diet and exercise regime to help prevent the condition from worsening.

There is no cure now, but some treatments can help manage symptoms.

Compression garments can help manage symptoms for people who feel pain and heaviness. They also help support the joints and can reduce swelling. Manual lymphatic drainage can also relieve symptoms.

Liposuction is also a treatment option but is not often available on the NHS.

Lipoedema UK also says there is a difference between cosmetic liposuction and non-cosmetic liposuction used to treat lipoedema, and the cosmetic version could cause long-term damage to affected areas.

The organisation also notes that liposuction is rarely a one-off treatment, and some patients must wear compression garments long-term following the procedure to maintain the results.

The NHS says: “If you're considering having liposuction for cosmetic reasons, think carefully before proceeding. It can be expensive, the results cannot be guaranteed, and all the risks must be considered. Speak to your GP about it.”

What to do if you think you have Lipoedema

Lipoedema UK says getting a diagnosis can also be challenging because the condition is poorly understood medically.

A 2021 survey by the organisation found that while 57 per cent of respondents had experienced symptoms from puberty, only 2 per cent had received a diagnosis. The majority said they didn’t get a diagnosis until after 40.

Despite this, Lipoedema UK says it is essential for women to get an early diagnosis to manage their symptoms as best they can.

“Many people with Lipoedema describe a feeling of relief when they receive their diagnosis because it acknowledges that their symptoms are not the result of lifestyle choices,” Lipoedema UK says.

The organisation suggests tracking symptoms and gathering as much information as possible about the condition before booking an appointment with your GP. Your GP may then refer you to a specialist service, including a lymphoedema clinic these specialist services can also help people manage lipoedema.

Some private clinics could also help diagnose and support people who believe they have lipoedema.

How Many Muscles are in your Face & Neck?

Fri, 06 Dec 2024 11:51:18 GMT

How Many Muscles are in your Face & Neck?

Your Face and Neck contain around 68 Muscles.

Also known as the craniofacial muscles, facial muscles lie underneath the skin of the face and stretch across the skull. Humans have 42 individual facial muscles, many of which actively work to form expressions. Of all the facial muscles, 20 are considered flat skeletal muscles.

Every facial muscle belongs to a different category.

These are the oral group, nasal group, orbital group, auricular group (external ear) and the cranium muscles.

Like the rest of your body, your facial muscles need exercise to remain in their best shape. Our facial techniques improve skin texture, delay the natural ageing process, and even alter the shape of the face. Stronger muscles mean better elasticity and a regular exercise routine could do wonders for all 42.

The muscles of the face and their functions:

Each muscle in your face serves a specific purpose and works alongside other muscles to allow your face to move.

The functions of the main muscles in your face are :

Orbicularis Oris: This muscle surrounds your mouth and makes up most of your lips. The orbicularis oris has two parts and helps move the lips.

Buccinator muscle: The buccinator muscle consists of three parts. It compresses your cheeks against your molars to prevent biting yourself while chewing.

Levator labii superioris alaeque nasi muscle: This muscle is on both sides of your nose. It helps elevate your upper lip and turn it outward.

Mentalis: Found in your chin, the mentalis depresses your lower lip and turns it outward. This muscle helps shape the lips for drinking and conveying emotions such as sadness.

Risorius: Considered the smiling muscle, its primary function is to pull the corners of your mouth upward to form a smile.

Levator anguli oris: This slender muscle also contributes to producing a smile.

Depressor anguli oris: This muscle pulls the corners of your mouth downward to express sadness and anger. It also aids in opening your mouth.

Nasalis: The nasalis muscle compresses and opens your nostrils when deep breathing. It’s also used when expressing anger.

Procerus muscle: The procerus is located between your eyebrows and pulls your eyebrows downwards. As a result, wrinkles form above the nose to convey anger or sorrow.

Orbicularis oculi: This muscle pulls the skin of your forehead and cheeks toward the nose. It also helps with the closing of your eyes. Corrugator supercilii: This muscle works to draw your eyebrows together to produce an angry expression.

Occipitofrontalis muscle: This broad muscle sits on your scalp. It consists of two parts: one that pulls the scalp forward when frowning and one that retracts it.

Auricular muscles: -Create movement in the ears when smiling, talking, or yawning.

How many muscles are in the neck ?

The neck muscles move the head, neck, and shoulders. There are 26 muscles in the neck. They are categorised into anterior, lateral, or posterior groups, determined by the position of the muscle on the neck.

The muscles of the neck work with other essential structures from the chest to the head. This region contains many important blood vessels and nerves.

A strong neck helps with balance and movement, especially during workouts. When out of use, neck muscles may also weaken, which can cause additional stress on the spine. If you experience pain and discomfort in your neck, you may be relieved to learn that a regime of neck, shoulder, and back exercises or infrared massage could relieve you.

The muscles of the neck and their functions

Each muscle in your neck plays a different role but works alongside other muscles for proper functioning. Here are some of the central neck muscles and what they do:

Sternocleidomastoid: This muscle helps your head turn in both directions and brings your head towards your chest.

Platysma: This muscle is mainly found in your neck but can assist other facial muscles. It helps pull the corners of your mouth down to form expressions.

Digastric: The digastric is a small muscle that closes the epiglottis to prevent you from inhaling food when swallowing.

Mylohyoid: The mylohyoid elevates the hyoid bone and the floor of your mouth. It also helps to open your mouth.

Geniohyoid: The geniohyoid is a short muscle that assists in voice production. It, like the mylohyoid, aids in opening your mouth.

Stylohyoid: This thin muscle retracts your tongue and pushes food toward the soft palate.

Scalene muscles: The function of the scalene muscles is primarily to help you inhale. They also help with bending or the condition of being bent, especially "flexion at the neck.

Trapezius: This large, flat muscle assists in rotating your head back and forth. It also stabilises and moves your shoulder blades.

The splenius muscles: The splenius muscles extend the head and help with sideways movements and rotation.

Rectus capitis posterior major: This muscle helps you maintain posture and move your head sideways.

Rectus capitis posterior minor: This muscle extends and rotates your head. Like the rectus capitis posterior major, it also assists in maintaining your posture.

Interspinales cervical muscles: The interspinal cervical muscles aid in the extension of your neck.

A final note on face and neck muscles:

Your face and neck contain around 68 muscles, and although many have similar functions, they all work together to help you live, look, and feel well. We don’t think about these essential muscles until something goes wrong, but we must be aware of the delicate balance of our facial and neck functions to prevent damage through neglect.

Weight Loss is Worth Gold in Dubai.

Fri, 15 Nov 2024 15:54:30 GMT

Lose pounds and gain grams of gold as Dubai pays gold to those who lost weight for a one-month challenge.

Dubai Municipality has awarded contestants 2.8 million dirhams ($762,942) worth of gold in a weight-loss challenge in prizes. The Gulf Emirate's initiative to fight obesity is called "Your Weight in Gold." The campaign promises one gram of gold for each kilogram shed, provided the contestants lose at least two kilos (4.6 pounds) by August 16, when the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan ends.

Ahmad al-Sheikh, a 27-year-old Syrian architect, claimed the top prize of 63 grams of gold worth 10,048 dirhams after losing 26 kilos. Sheikh, who weighed 146.7 kilos at the start of the competition, was one of 2,648 winners who received 16.82 kilos of gold on saying, "I registered 15 days later in the campaign and was worried at first because I thought I lost a head start to all the other contestants," he told the Gulf News daily.

The second and third-place winners shed 23 kilos and 22 kilos, respectively. Gulf News said those who shed five kilos and above got two grams of gold for each kilo lost, while those shedding 10 kilos and above were entitled to three grams of gold for every kilo lost. During Ramadan, the faithful refrain from eating, drinking, and smoking between dawn and sunset. But many tend to tuck in heartily after dark, despite warnings that overindulgence can harm health. Many Gulf countries are struggling to reduce obesity among their populations. If you want people to slim down, why not reward them with gold? That's the tack being taken in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

According to news reports, the local government is alarmed at ballooning waistlines in a region where fast food is common and comfortable outdoor exercise is not. The government offers citizens a gram of gold for each kilogram lost, and today's gold price per gram is about £65.09 in the UK. We wonder if it would incentivise the British or if Ozempic, Mounjaro, and Wygovy would win or lose the catwalk war.

Participants must lose at least two kilos to get the golden payout. According to the Associated Press, they must attend by Friday to weigh in. Healthcare providers are expected to be on hand to recommend healthy weight-loss methods. In the United States, rewards for people who lose weight, stop smoking, and otherwise shape up are becoming part of workplace wellness programs, though, as far as we know, they have yet to include precious metals in the payoff.

A 2011 survey of large U.S. employers found that half were using incentives as part of wellness programs or planned to do so. Incentives typically reduce the cost of health insurance premiums for employees who participate. But patient advocates say those kinds of systems can lead to discrimination against people who are in poor health through no fault of their own. Money Replaces Willpower in Programs Promoting Weight Loss incentives don't always work. Studies in which people were paid to stop smoking or lose weight have been mixed. Still, some employers say they've seen sustained benefits in lower healthcare costs.

According to NPR's Yuki Noguchi, Washington's King County saved $6 million in healthcare costs between 2007 and 2011, in part by offering incentives for county employees to lose weight. But for some people, the stick works better than the carrot, a program that lets people pledge to pay money to a cause they loathe if they fail to meet a weight-loss goal.

So, authorities in Dubai are offering gold in return for weight loss in a scheme to encourage healthier living. Those interested can sign up for the initiative, which lasts 30 days and coincides with Ramadan, a fasting month. Participants will receive a gram of gold worth about £65.09 for each kilogram lost. The Participants, dubbed "golden losers, " must lose at least two kilograms to receive the payout. Three participants who lose the most weight will be entered into a draw to win a gold coin worth $5,400. Hussain Nasser Lootah, the director general of Dubai Municipality, announced the scheme called Your Weight in Gold. “Ramadan is the most appropriate season to launch such initiatives as it reminds us about many health benefits of reducing weight and encourages us to take strong steps to change our bad lifestyles," he said.

There has been alarm across the Gulf States at the sharp rise in obesity blamed on increasing fast-food diets and a lack of exercise and affluence as the culprits. Just over half a century ago, the UAE was populated by nomadic Bedouin desert farmers and coastal dwellers - but the discovery of oil changed all that in the 1960s. With oil came money and an urban, affluent lifestyle that lacks an exercise culture, according to the World Health Organization.

The epidemic is taking its toll on the health of Gulf citizens. Five of the ten countries where diabetes is most prevalent in the world are in the Gulf, according to the International Diabetes Federation. A recent United Nations report rated the percentage of obesity in Kuwait at 42%, Saudi Arabia at 35%, the United Arab Emirates at 33%, and Qatar at 33%. Comparatively, the growing obesity rate in the United States is 35.7. So, for obesity rankings worldwide, the UAE, a collection of seven Emirates, including Dubai, is among the top 10 countries.

According to a recent World Health Organization study, 30.2% of males and 43% of women in the UAE are obese. Obesity is Officially a Disease, as medical experts released a study of 1,400 schoolchildren in the neighbouring Emirate of Abu Dhabi, which found that one out of every three children is obese. Based on data, the Municipality of Dubai, the Dubai Gold and Jewellery Group, and the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC) sponsor the Your Weight in Gold scheme. Ahmed bin Sulayem, executive chairman of the DMCC, said: "We would highly encourage everyone from all walks of life to take part in this great initiative and hope DMCC's contribution of AED 100,000 ($27,225) worth of gold coins will help motivate individuals." At registration, participants will receive advice on how to lose weight without harming their health, and the final weigh-in was on 16 August.

Interestingly, this is not Dubai's first attempt to lure Emiratis off the couch with treasure. In 2011, the "Yalla Walk" or "Let's Walk" initiative offered cars as prizes to those who lost weight by walking Dubai's parks. This time, the only catch is that weight loss must exceed 4.4 pounds to be eligible for the payout, but there is no limit on the amount of gold paid to individuals.

The Beauty & Wellness Opportunities for Side Effects of Ozempic, Mounjaro & Wygovy

Tue, 05 Nov 2024 14:08:35 GMT

The Beauty & Wellness Opportunities for Side Effects of Ozempic, Mounjaro & Wygovy

Beauty Independent suggests that by 2030, the United States is projected to have 30 million users of GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic, Mounjaro & Wygovy, etc., roughly equivalent to the number of people in the country who have eczema. However, according to the bank J.P. Morgan, the size of the GLP-1 market is expected to be larger by orders of magnitude at $100 billion, compared to the $13 billion eczema product market, to which the UK will also benefit from the uplift.

The explosion of GLP-1s has already altered society. The obesity rate is down in the U.S., and industries as diverse as apparel and restaurants are grasping what it might mean for them.

In beauty and wellness, many people seek out new products and protocols to counteract side effects from the drugs and dramatic weight loss—research has shown GPL-1s help users lose 10% of their body weight on average—and optimise overall health outcomes. Below, we explore five ways GLP-1 users are shaking up their beauty and wellness routines, boosting fragrance, butt care, body treatments and beyond.

Supplements for side effects, try IV’s & Transdermal Drips

Supplement brands have flooded the market with products promising non-prescription answers to GLP-1s. Another role for supplementation linked to GLP-1s is tempering the well-documented side effects of the medications, which have been shown in research to help users lose 10% of their body weight on average, such as nausea, muscle loss, constipation, and fatigue.

Supplement brands and product ranges are proliferating in response to the rise of GLP-1s to support individuals using GLP-1 medications by addressing nausea, changing blood sugar levels, and addressing muscle mass and skin elasticity loss. G-Labs was inspired to create its brand after years of cobbling together 10 to 12 products for her GLP-1 patients and encountering a field of lacklustre supplements due to their high sugar and additive content. “We realised there was a big gap in the market, products made specifically for the unique needs and taste buds of the GLP-1 user,” noting that electrolyte powder to rehydrate is recommended for GLP-1 users because GLP-1s “suppress thirst in addition to appetite. Users often do not get enough water, which worsens side effects like nausea and gastrointestinal distress.”

Fragrance (Fanaticism) for side effects, try multi-sensory treatments & skincare

Ozempic experiences are all over social media platforms such as TikTok and Reddit, and one chronicled what might seem unusual: the drug has transformed them into fragrance fanatics. Once she went on Ozempic and achieved her goal weight, she searched for new signature scents and developed a full-fledged passion for fragrance. “There’s something that happens with [GLP-1s]; it can be anhedonia, but it’s a feeling of, well, what now?” she says. “Because food is not that interesting anymore. You need to find other sources of enjoyment or sensory experience. That was what was making me want to find more and more perfumes, not just one.” “We know essential oil fragrance is uniquely suited to this problem because you get that hit of smelling something just like delicious food smells a certain way, but it is so fascinating that there’s still underlying seeking behaviour which essential oils will address holistically.”

TikTok videos theorising about a connection between GLP-1 use and fragrance obsession have drawn hundreds of comments from fellow GLP-1 users. One wrote, “This is exactly what happened to me. It did correlate with when I started tripeptide. I need a cheaper obsession.” Daniel Giles, founder of a luxury fragrance brand, says the phenomenon makes perfect sense. “The research shows an indirect connection to sensory perceptions when you take GLP-1s,” he explains. “There is a connection between the gut, brain, and smell. It appears that there is an activation with the olfactive receptors.”

Neck Treatments & Skincare

Tighten & Lift Neck Treatments in clinics or salons and creams at home are beloved among GLP-1 users trying to rectify loose neck skin caused by weight loss.

Our Crémeux Modificator Face, Neck, Decolletage PEF 360° TX™ + Guasha 4-in-1 Light Infused Treatment Tool was developed to “target firming and smoothing of the neck and décolleté delicate skin to improve elasticity, decrease sagging, and protect and strengthen the skin barrier.” Consumers seek more robust results and non-surgical aesthetic interventions; hence, there is a demand for its services that harness technology to heat the dermis to a temperature that triggers a healing response. This increases collagen and elastin in the skin, helping maintain volume and combat skin laxity. Offering these treatments to lift the skin on the neck while simultaneously improving crepey texture is a frequent complaint. We also advise patients to do a session before or right at the onset of GLP-1 treatment and repeat it every week or three months if part of a maintenance programme to continually boost collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production in the skin.

Haemorrhoids for side effects, try OTC Suppositories

Constipation is a common side effect of GLP-1 usage, and many people suffer not only from constipation but also haemorrhoids, a condition related to it. “When someone is constipated, it naturally creates the need to use more force can lead to haemorrhoid development as well as anal tears called fissures. Additionally, constipation may be exacerbated among women GLP-1 users who have slower gut transit times to begin with. So, using deeply hydrating known beauty botanicals will help reduce swelling and improve hydration in that area.

Sexual wellness and intimate care will be glad new brands are coming as they create solutions for common ailments in the bedroom, bathroom and beyond. “The anal space, both medicinally and sexually, has significantly unmet needs; and there’s only been one or two brands that have dominated for years,” Goldstein says. “Haemorrhoids, fissures and other anal pathologies have been destigmatised recently, and we’re finally seeing a shake-up in the space.”

Facial & Body Contouring & Sculpting Treatments

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, liposuction is the most popular plastic surgery procedure in the U.S. GLP-1s are the highest contributors, whether because users are perfecting the work of the drugs or non-users are attempting to appear like their slimmed-down peers. Other body treatments, whether in plastic surgery, non-surgical solutions, or outside the realm, stand to gain from the same dynamics.

Crémeux Lipo & Sculpt PEF 360° TX™ LB + Guasha 4-in-1 LIT Tool

Bloating is another tiresome side effect of GLP-1 usage, and people are signing up for lymphatic drainage electronic or manual massage and additional body treatments to combat it. Aesthetic machines powered by multi-functional modalities to promote lymphatic drainage and increase circulation are increasingly popular in such therapies. Our recommended protocol is a series of at least 12 professional body treatments, ideally once weekly.

G-Labs has been studying the use of machines and technology for non-surgical solutions over three decades and believes the benefits of the technology for GLP-1 users go beyond debloating. “On a global scale, we are seeing an increase in treatments directed at people who have lost weight from taking GLPs,” we combine several treatment modalities, from Light Infused Therapy to heavy-duty machines, as well as to help the lymphatic system manually, electronically or trandermally manage the additional toxins released from fat cells during the weight loss.

Polychromatic Light Therapy?

Sun, 20 Oct 2024 10:49:27 GMT

Polychromatic Light Therapy?

What is Polychromatic Light Therapy (PLT) is a cutting-edge treatment that simultaneously uses multiple wavelengths of light to promote healing and well-being. Our innovative device is at the forefront of PLT, as we combine red, blue, and green light to create additional colours such as magenta/purple (red + blue), yellow (red + green), and cyan (green + blue). These additional colours provide the combined benefits of each wavelength and introduce unique properties that promote healing and enhance well-being.

G-Labs Light Infused Therapy (LIT) for Professionals or Clients at Home also incorporates near-infrared (NIR) light for deeper penetration and additional therapeutic benefits.

Exploring the Potential of PLT

PLT is a rapidly developing field, with ongoing research exploring the most effective combinations of colours, dosages, and applications. Though the science behind PLT is still evolving, early studies have shown great potential, indicating that this therapy offers new, non-invasive options for various conditions.

The Theory Behind Colour Healing and Magenta/Purple Light Therapy

Colour healing theory has long suggested that specific colours influence physical and emotional well-being. Inspired by early pioneers such as Roland T. Hunt, who explored the healing properties of colours in his book Seven Keys to Colour Healing, PLT merges ancient metaphysical insights with contemporary scientific findings. G-Labs Light Infused Therapy was designed to integrate these principles, using colour mode treatments to promote holistic health and well-being.

Magenta/Purple Light Therapy: Combining Red and Blue for Enhanced Healing

A combination of red light at a wavelength of approximately 660 nm and blue light at around 410 nm, magenta/purple combines the powers of red with the cooling qualities of blue. One fascinating study area is its effectiveness with angiogenesis — the growth of new blood vessels. This treatment can help provide much-needed blood flow to damaged areas, helping to heal wounds and scars and improve circulation.

Magenta/Purple light merges the unique properties of both colours. According to Colour Healing Theory, blue light is associated with the Laryngeal Chakra, promoting mental clarity, calmness, and serenity. It has antiseptic properties and treats conditions such as Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), psoriasis, and other skin disorders. On the other hand, red light is linked to the Root Chakra and is known for its ability to boost vitality and accelerate healing, especially for burns, wounds, and injuries.

The Science of Magenta/Purple Light Therapy

Magenta/Purple light therapy offers the combined benefits of red and blue light, making it particularly effective for many health conditions. Red light and NIR commonly treat musculoskeletal issues, chronic pain, and wound healing. They also stimulate cellular repair and regeneration, helping with tissue repair. Blue light, known for its antibacterial and antifungal properties, is beneficial for treating SAD, neonatal jaundice, and circadian rhythm disorders.

Applications of Magenta/Purple Light Therapy

Magenta/Purple light therapy has shown promise in addressing various health conditions and enhancing recovery. Some notable applications include:

Prevention of surgical infections (Qiu et al., 2019)

Formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) (Hamushan et al., 2021)

Post-exercise muscle recovery (Rigby & Hagan, 2020)

Acne treatment (Kwon et al., 2013)

Burn healing (de Oliveira et al., 2018)

Chronic wound healing (Jere et al., 2021)

Scar prevention (Kurtti et al., 2021)

Treatment of trigger points in muscles (Simunovic, 1996)

Fighting infections (Yin et al., 2013)

Antimicrobial effects (Zhu et al., 2017)

Psoriasis management (Lesiak et al., 2021)

Relief from dermatitis (Becker et al., 2011)

Enhanced wound healing (Adamskaya et al., 2011)

Alleviation of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) (Strong et al., 2009)

Magenta/Purple light therapy also supports the healthy functioning of critical organs, including the heart, kidneys, and adrenal glands. Blue light has been shown to reduce organ damage caused by conditions like sepsis and ischemia. In contrast, red light’s anti-inflammatory effects are beneficial for managing inflammatory conditions such as ulcerative colitis.

Emotional and Psychological Benefits

In addition to its physical benefits, magenta/purple light therapy can positively impact emotional health. The combined effects of red and blue light have been shown to improve emotional balance, potentially lowering blood pressure and enhancing circulation. Additionally, transcranial photo-biomodulation (PBM) using red and blue light has demonstrated potential for treating brain-related conditions such as traumatic brain injury, Alzheimer’s disease, and mood disorders.

Moods Wellness Transdermal Infusion PEF 360° TX™

Moods Wellness Transdermal Infusion PEF 360° TX™

The World Health Organization (WHO) suggests approximately 280 million people in the world have depression (1). Depression is about 50% more common among women than among men. Worldwide, more than 10% of pregnant women and women who have just given birth experience depression (2). More than 700,000 people die due to suicide every year.

So, foods rich in vitamin B6 are beef, avocados, eggs, chicken, beans, and nuts - Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) is an essential vitamin that helps maintain the whole body's health. This nutrient plays a crucial role in brain development and keeps your nerves and immune system working correctly.

This essential vitamin can prevent anaemia, improve mood, and protect your heart. Our body doesn’t naturally produce B6, but it’s found in many foods. It’s also available in multivitamins and B-complex supplements containing several different B vitamins.

What is Vitamin B6?

Vitamin B6 is one of eight B Vitamins that help your body develop and function properly. Your body uses small amounts of this nutrient for more than 100 chemical (enzyme) reactions in your metabolism.

B6 is water-soluble (dissolves in water), so your body disposes of any excess B6 in your urine. It also means you must replenish your B6 consistently, ideally from an overall balanced diet that includes meats, grains, vegetables and nuts. And if you don’t eat meat, B6 is available in many other foods, so you can easily ensure you get enough B6 through the right mix of foods. However, be cautious about taking a B6 supplement for an extended period, as this can lead to toxicity.

What is vitamin B6 good for?

Vitamin B6 has been shown to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It plays many essential roles in your body. It helps to make:

- DNA is the genetic building block of your body.

- Haemoglobin is the part of red blood cells that carry oxygen to your body.

- Neurotransmitters are the chemical messengers that send signals from nerve cells to other cells.

Research suggests vitamin B6 offers these seven benefits:

1. Prevent and treat anaemia

Studies have linked low levels of vitamin B6 (and iron) with anaemia, especially in pregnancy and those of childbearing age. Anaemia occurs when you don’t have enough haemoglobin to carry oxygen to your body’s tissues. Vitamin B6 helps produce red blood cells. It’s been shown to help treat sideroblastic anaemia, a rare genetic disorder affecting how your body makes red blood cells.

2. Improve mood

Vitamin B6 produces neurotransmitters, like serotonin, that can help regulate mood and even aid sleep. Some research suggests that high doses of B6 may be effective at reducing anxiety and other mood disorders.

One large study showed that higher vitamin B6 intake is associated with lower depression and anxiety risk in females but not males. Scientists also recently found young adults felt less anxious and depressed after taking high-dose vitamin B6 supplements every day for a month.

3. Promote brain health

Vitamin B6 is vital for your brain health because it makes neurotransmitters. A deficiency of vitamins B6 and B12 has been associated with reduced brain function. However, there is no evidence yet that supplements can slow cognitive decline or prevent neurological issues.

4. Ease nausea during pregnancy

B6 plays several vital roles in ensuring a healthy pregnancy. But it’s best known for helping to relieve nausea during pregnancy and severe morning sickness (hyperemesis gravidarum).

The USA Congress of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (ACOG) recommends vitamin B6 supplements as an over-the-counter treatment to ease symptoms. Supplements may also contain doxylamine, which has been proven a safe and effective treatment for these symptoms.

5. Protect your heart

This critical nutrient also helps your body maintain normal levels of homocysteine, an amino acid that helps to build proteins. If levels are too high, it can lead to blood clots or blood vessel blockages.

Some evidence suggests that low blood levels of vitamin B6 may be associated with a higher risk of death from coronary artery disease.

6. Reduce your chance of cancer

Vitamin B6 is crucial to cell growth and development. Research shows its deficiency is associated with inflammation and chronic illnesses like rheumatoid arthritis.

Whether vitamin B6 in foods or supplements helps lower your risk of developing cancer is unclear. However, early studies suggest a link between adequate intake of B6 and other B vitamins and reduced risk of some types of cancer, including colorectal cancer.

7. Lower risk of eye disease

Research suggests that daily supplementation of vitamin B6, folic acid and B12 may reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). In one study, female participants taking these supplements daily for seven years had a lower risk.

Ashwagandha Extract is most known for its mood-lifting effects. Scientific research supports its potential to treat clinical depressive disorders. Studies show that its effects are comparable to common prescription antidepressants.

Rhodiola Rosea's roots are considered adaptogens, meaning they help your body adapt to stress when consumed.

Rhodiola, or arctic or golden root, is scientifically known as Rhodiola rosea. Its root contains more than 140 active ingredients, the two most potent being rosavin and salidroside.

People in Russia and Scandinavian countries have used Rhodiola for centuries to treat anxiety, fatigue, and depression.

Here are seven science-based benefits of Rhodiola rosea.

1. Help decrease stress

Rhodiola has long been known as an adaptogen, a natural substance that increases your body’s resistance to stress in non-specific ways.

Consuming adaptogens during stressful times is thought to help you handle stressful situations better. Rhodiola has also been shown to improve symptoms of burnout, which can occur with chronic stress. Sources involved 118 people with stress-related burnout who took 400 mg of rhodiola daily for 12 weeks. Study participants showed clear improvement in various symptoms, such as stress and depression, commonly associated with burnout.

The most improvement occurred during the first week and continued throughout the study. Researchers noted that this was the first trial investigating clinical outcomes of rhodiola treatment for burnout. They found the results encouraging and recommended further trials.

2. Help with fatigue

Stress, anxiety, and inadequate sleep are just a few factors that can contribute to fatigue, which can cause feelings of physical and mental tiredness. Rhodiola is thought to help alleviate fatigue due to its adaptogenic properties. In one study, 100 people with chronic fatigue received 400 mg of rhodiola daily for eight weeks. They experienced significant improvements in stress symptoms, fatigue, quality of life, mood, and concentration.

These improvements were observed after only one week of treatment and continued to improve through the final week of the study.

3. Help reduce symptoms of depression

Depression is a common but serious illness that negatively affects how you feel and act.

It’s thought to occur when chemicals in your brain called neurotransmitters become unbalanced. Health professionals commonly prescribe antidepressants to help correct these chemical imbalances.

It has been suggested that Rhodiola rosea may have antidepressant properties that help balance the neurotransmitters in your brain. One 2015 study compared the effects of Rhodiola with the commonly prescribed antidepressant sertraline, which is sold under the name Zoloft. In the study, 57 people diagnosed with depression were randomly assigned to receive rhodiola, sertraline, or a placebo pill for 12 weeks. While Rhodiola and sertraline both reduced symptoms of depression, sertraline had a more significant effect. However, Rhodiola produced fewer side effects and was better tolerated.

4. Improve brain function

Exercise, good nutrition, and a good night’s sleep are sure ways to keep your brain running strong.

A review of 36 animal studies concluded that Rhodiola improves learning and memory function. Trusted Source found that just a single dose of Rhodiola increased memory and had an antidepressant effect on mice. It suggested that Rhodiola could become an excellent tool to improve cognition and counteract mood disorders in people.

Trusted Source concluded that Rhodiola's therapeutic properties may benefit many age-related diseases. Researchers called for more research to bridge the gap between experimental results and clinical applications.

5. Improve exercise performance

Rhodiola has been claimed to improve sports performance by reducing physical and mental fatigue and increasing antioxidant activity. On the positive side, one animal study from Trusted Source found that Rhodiola could improve rats' muscle power and strength performance. In the study, the rats were given Rhodiola rosea extract combined with another adaptogen called Rhaponticum carthamoides (maral root) after resistance exercise.

6. Help manage diabetes

Diabetes is a condition that occurs when your body develops a reduced ability to produce or respond to the hormone insulin, resulting in high blood sugar levels. People with diabetes commonly use insulin injections or medications to manage their blood sugar levels better.

Sources suggest that rhodiola may help improve diabetes management. The salidroside compound in Rhodiola has been shown to help protect against diabetes and diabetic nephropathy (kidney disease) in rats. These studies were performed in rats, so their results can’t be generalised to humans. However, they’re a compelling reason to investigate the effects of Rhodiola on diabetes in people.

7. Anticancer properties

Salidroside, a potent component of rhodiola, has been investigated for its anticancer properties.

Sources have shown that it may inhibit the growth of lung, bladder, and colon cancer cells. As a result, researchers have suggested that rhodiola may help treat many types of cancer.

Meanwhile, Valerian Extract studies suggest that valerian root improves the ability to fall, stay, and achieve high-quality sleep for adults and children with insomnia.

Studies suggest that Passionflower Extract can relieve insomnia and anxiety. It appears to boost the brain's gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) level, which lowers brain activity and helps you to relax and sleep better.

Professional Beauty - Combining Light Infusion Therapy to Accelerate Treatment Results

contact@g-labs.co.uk (Lea Lawrence) — Tue, 15 Oct 2024 07:00:19 GMT

Light infusion therapy (LIT), also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or photobiomodulation from light-emitting diodes (LED), is a safe and noninvasive technique.

It delivers concentrated wavelengths of light and near-infrared light into the skin and the body’s cells, ensuring a drastic improvement in appearance, wellness, and lightness of being.

LIT is used to treat skin conditions on the face and body, such as wrinkles, sun damage, scars, persistent wounds, and acne; it is used after anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers for premature ageing and regenerating skin. LIT can also manage excess fat and cellulite, boost lymphatic drainage and reduce swelling. On top of these aesthetic benefits, LIT can also be harnessed for wellbeing by helping manage menopause symptoms, hormones and more…

LIT is a versatile solution that can be combined with a variety of treatments to deliver personalised and enhanced client experiences for a high return on investment with minimal effort.

Light infusion therapy for weight loss and cellulite

Body fat can be challenging to eliminate. Even with exercise and a proper diet, “problem areas” can persist, causing frustration and discouragement amongst even the most steadfast dieters. A growing body of evidence suggests that red light therapy can effectively and significantly help with the loss of fat, reduce the circumference of targeted areas, such as the waist, hips, and thighs, and considerably reduce the appearance of cellulite. While more research is needed to assess the long-term benefits of red-light therapy for weight management, it certainly shows much promise, with the critical benefit of no severe side effects.

Light infusion therapy for health and wellness

It is also increasingly being shown that light infusion therapy can affect the body on a deeper level. Mounting evidence is showing that light therapy can be effective in treating pain and inflammation in joints and muscles as well as insomnia and other sleep disorders, cognitive deficiencies, and immune health issues. It can be a great adjunct to boost the benefits of massage.

Light infusion therapy for skin

The desire to stop the clock on ageing has long been part of the human condition, and it’s particularly true today, with the popularisation and increased accessibility of cosmetic procedures, paired with a rise in the use of filters and Photoshop on social media to create an illusion of perfection.

Unfortunately, many are opting for more invasive interventions that involve injecting a substance into the skin or using harsh chemicals to provoke an anti-inflammatory reaction in the cells to generate collagen. It’s only recently that people have started to turn to light therapy for its incredible benefits with no downtime for those looking to reverse the signs of ageing, sun damage, and see significant improvement in a host of unwanted skin issues. Blue light can eliminate bacteria which can help with acne.

Light infusion therapy to improve the appearance of wrinkles

Collagen and elastin are the proteins responsible for giving the skin the structure and elasticity found in younger skin. The body produces less collagen and elastin as we age, leading to fine lines, wrinkles, and papery skin. By increasing the functioning of the mitochondria to optimise collagen production and cellular energy, LIT allows skin cells to protect existing collagen and elastin and increase collagen production, to help reverse the effects of ageing.

Light infusion therapy to reverse sun damage

While the sun has significant benefits, too much exposure can lead to a host of issues, many of them cosmetic, such as premature ageing, patchy sunspots, melasma, and actinic keratosis (which can become cancerous). Many of these issues are treated with chemical peels and topical creams, which aim to regenerate cells and produce collagen. However, these treatments can be painful, increase light sensitivity, and cause skin sensitivity and redness. On the other hand, red light is naturally produced by the sun and has a warming effect, much like UV light, but without any harmful effects.

It penetrates deep into the skin to boost the body’s anti-inflammatory response, natural ability to regenerate and stimulate collagen which can help with pigmentation caused by sun exposure.

Light infusion therapy for inflammation, wounds and scars

Evidence suggests that light infusion therapy's anti-inflammatory and collagen-producing properties can help heal wounds and diminish scars. Numerous clinical studies also point to red light's effectiveness in healing and reducing the appearance of scars.

Light Therapy

What Are the Benefits of Light Therapy?

Light therapy, also called Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) or photobiomodulation (PBM), is a safe and non-invasive technique that delivers concentrated wavelengths of light and near-infrared light into the skin and the body's cells to drastically improve your well-being, appearance, and quality of life.

Light therapy is most used to treat skin conditions and cosmetic issues, such as wrinkles, sun damage, scars, persistent wounds, acne, weight issues, and hair loss, and to promote a healthier, more youthful appearance. However, it is increasingly being shown to affect the body on a deeper level.

Mounting evidence is proving light therapy to be highly effective in treating pain and inflammation in joints and muscles, insomnia and other sleep disorders, cognitive deficiencies, and immune health issues, among other things. Many professional athletes use it to improve fitness and performance and reduce recovery time.

How Does Light Therapy Work?

If there’s one thing we’ve all retained from biology, the mitochondria are the cell's powerhouse. But how exactly does that affect the body? The latest research indicates that the mitochondria are responsible for fuelling the functioning of our organs, essentially from head to toe. This means that when the functioning of the mitochondria is sub-optimal, so is the body's functioning at a macro level. This translates to adverse effects; we can see and feel poor skin, aches and pains, immune deficiencies, and numerous other issues.

Just like with food, light provides various nutrients to the body. We’re all familiar with how UV light produces vitamin D in the body and how blue light affects your circadian rhythm and sleep. UV light and blue light are part of the spectrum of the five “bioactive” types of light, along with far-infrared light, red light, and near-infrared light. These lights are all wavelengths that penetrate the body at varying depths, thus affecting the body at varying levels.

Red and NIR light produce a biochemical reaction within the mitochondria that ultimately helps it use oxygen more efficiently to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is the vehicle that transports energy throughout the body, much like a tram transporting coal to be used for fuel.

Another way that light therapy works is by exerting temporary stress on the cells, much like exercising stresses out your muscles. This stress provokes an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant response within the cells, which, simply put, makes them stronger.

What Are the Benefits of Light Therapy?

Light therapy's list of well-being benefits is long and growing daily. Thousands of peer-reviewed clinical studies show the wide range of ways red and near-infrared light positively affects the body, with virtually no known side effects.

Light Therapy Benefits for Pain and Inflammation

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an estimated 50 million people are living with chronic pain - that’s a whopping 20% of the population. With few options for pain relief at their disposal, pain sufferers must often rely on opioids, which are known to be dangerous and highly addictive. The rampant overprescription of opioids has led to a severe crisis across the country, with more than 2 million suffering from opioid disorders.

Pain medication blocks your pain receptors from sending messages to your brain. Unfortunately, even non-addictive options for pain, like CBD oils and creams, have the same problem: when the effects of the medication wear off, the pain returns. It is simply masking the symptoms rather than addressing the root of the problem.

Light therapy, in contrast, targets pain and inflammation at the cellular level using light-emitting diodes (LED) devices that allow red and near-infrared light to penetrate deep into the body’s tissues to optimise cell functioning and reduce pain and inflammation.

Studies have shown that light therapy effectively treats stiffness and pain associated with rheumatoid arthritis. Positive findings have also been reported regarding treating osteoarthritis (or arthritis) and joint pain. A 2019 study found light therapy significantly reduced pain and disability in patients with knee osteoarthritis.

Manage Neck Pain with Light Therapy.

Light therapy has been shown to improve pain and functioning in cervical osteoarthritis and acute neck pain, and research suggests it can also be beneficial in treating chronic myofascial neck pain.

Treat lower back pain with light therapy.

In a 2015 study, participants suffering from nonspecific chronic low back pain demonstrated significant improvement in pain levels compared with the placebo group, with effects lasting up to five years. A 2015 meta-analysis of random controlled trials supported previous findings of a clinically significant benefit in light therapy for short-term relief of low back pain.

Light Therapy Benefits for Fitness, Muscle Recovery, and Performance

Light therapy is not just good for what ails you. It can also be used to enhance your body’s fitness and to promote speedier muscle recovery. Many pro athletes incorporate light therapy into their daily training schedule.

We briefly touched upon how light works by improving functioning at the mitochondrial level and subsequently enhancing the functioning of your organs through the production of ATP (which transports energy throughout the body). Muscle cells have more mitochondria than most other types of cells since even the slightest muscle movement requires energy. This is why muscle tissue is exceptionally responsive to light therapy.

Increase muscle mass, performance, and endurance with light therapy

Numerous studies have shown that light therapy applied before and after exercise effectively increases muscle mass, decreases muscle fatigue, and improves muscle performance.

Mounting evidence suggests that light therapy results in a higher oxygen intake, increased average sprint time, and reduced perceived fatigue. It also increases muscle power and peak torque (the maximum force used in a muscular contraction).

Red and near-infrared light has also proven to be effective in increasing muscle mass and muscular strength gain during weight training, as it has been shown to decrease skeletal muscle fatigue during exercise, allowing for more repetitions and more sustained muscle use.

Light therapy for athletic performance has extraordinary benefits. It gives users such a competitive edge that high-level sports organisations discuss regulating the treatment as a performance enhancer - a shining endorsement if we’ve ever heard one.

Improve Muscle Recovery with Light Therapy

Muscle recovery is also critical to improving athletic performance. Quicker recovery means less rest time between workouts and less time feeling sore.

Red and near-infrared light help with muscle recovery by increasing circulation, oxygenation and cellular regeneration. These have long been proven to help with post-exercise muscle soreness, fatigue, and stiffness, among other issues.

Research also suggests that red light therapy can decrease muscle damage and oxidative stress (an imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants within the cells, limiting the body’s ability to detoxify), both essential barriers to muscle recovery.

Other studies have shown that red-light therapy alone is more beneficial to muscle recovery than cryotherapy alone and combining cryotherapy and red-light therapy. It has also been more effective than cold water immersion therapy for improving short-term post-exercise recovery. Not only is red light therapy more effective, but it also carries significantly fewer health risks, if any.

Red light therapy is not just beneficial for run-of-the-mill post-workout soreness. It has also been shown to significantly decrease return to play (RTP) time after a sports-related injury, with no adverse effects.

Light Therapy Benefits for Skin

Unfortunately, most interventions are invasive and often involve injecting a substance into the skin or using harsh chemicals to provoke an anti-inflammatory reaction in the cells to generate collagen. It’s only recently that people have started to turn to light therapy for its incredible benefits with virtually no risk for those looking to erase the signs of ageing, reverse sun damage, and see significant improvement in a host of unwanted skin issues.

Improve the Appearance of Wrinkles with Light Therapy

Collagen and elastin are the proteins responsible for giving your skin the structure and elasticity found in younger skin. The body produces less collagen and elastin as we age, leading to fine lines, wrinkles, and papery skin. By increasing the functioning of the mitochondria to optimise ATP production and cellular energy, light therapy allows skin cells to protect existing collagen and elastin and increase collagen production, thereby reversing the effects of ageing.

Reverse Sun Damage with Light Therapy

It penetrates deep into the skin to enhance your body’s natural ability to regenerate cells and produce collagen.

Treat acne with light therapy.

Acne is a cruel reality for most teenagers, one that can persist well into adulthood. No shortage of soaps, creams, and even prescription medicines has been tried and tried again in the quest for clear skin. Unfortunately, many of these remedies are incredibly harsh on the skin and have significant side effects.

Light therapy has been shown to positively affect acne - with no severe side effects and no risk of overuse - especially when combined with blue light. The red light stimulates collagen production and cell regeneration and produces an anti-inflammatory response, while the blue light eliminates acne-causing bacteria.

Heal Wounds and Diminish Scars with Light Therapy

Evidence suggests light therapy's anti-inflammatory and collagen-producing properties can help heal wounds. Numerous clinical studies also point to red light's effectiveness in healing and reducing the appearance of scars.

Light Therapy Benefits for Sleep

It is estimated that roughly 30-40% of the population experience bouts of insomnia, with 10-15% suffering from chronic insomnia. Those who suffer from insomnia are more likely to develop chronic illnesses and mental wellness issues, to be injured or involved in an accident, to underperform at work, to report a lower quality of life, and to utilise the health care system. In other words, it’s a significant public health issue.

The constant presence of screens in our lives is partially to blame. Screens emit blue light, which regulates our circadian rhythm by inhibiting the production of melatonin, the hormone that makes us sleepy.

On the other hand, red light is ideal for winding down; hence, think of it as sunrise versus sunset. The morning's bright blue sky indicates that it’s time to get up, and the soothing tones of the sunset prepare us for rest. It is calming and relaxing, but evidence shows it can boost serum melatonin levels. It also has the added benefit of increasing energy throughout the day by optimising ATP production, which can counteract many of the effects of lack of sleep, such as drowsiness and lack of focus.

Emerging Areas of Research on the Benefits of Light Therapy

Who knew that one of the benefits of light therapy could stimulate stem cell growth and help regenerate tissue, including growing new blood vessels - why is this significant?

Angiogenesis is the term for the formation of new blood vessels. This process is critical in areas where the body needs to make repairs. This is incredibly exciting because it supports the findings of studies documenting all the benefits listed below. Anywhere that tissue is damaged, or in need of oxygen or blood, the branching out of new capillaries is a natural process that the body initiates to repair and rebuild tissue, as explained in the following article, Angiogenesis in wound healing.

A recent study found that treatment with light therapy "Enhances the Angiogenic Effect of Mesenchymal Stem Cells". Additionally, stem cells "significantly contribute to tissue repair and regeneration applications" as studies in this meta-data analysis Biological Responses of Stem Cells to Photo biomodulation Therapy - PubMed (nih.gov)

Treating these areas with a minimally invasive therapy that enjoys a historically high safety profile is an encouraging step forward for human health & wellness applications.

Light therapy is a relatively new field of study, and researchers are just beginning to scratch the surface of its far-reaching and life-changing benefits. It’s an exciting field of study, especially given that so few risks and side effects are associated with red and near-infrared light exposure. This allows researchers to conduct human clinical trials quickly and safely. Let’s look at emerging research shedding light on light therapy's growing list of benefits.

Light Therapy Benefits for Hormones

There is a wealth of emerging research supporting light therapy as an effective treatment for several hormone disorders or imbalances.

Treat hypothyroidism with red light therapy as there is mounting evidence of its effectiveness on Hashimoto’s Hypothyroidism. It appears to improve thyroid function and significantly lower thyroid antibody levels. Consistent, continued use of red-light therapy may even allow patients to reduce their thyroid medication dose dramatically and, in some cases, eliminate it altogether. Although the research is limited, red light therapy is showing some promise in animal clinical studies as a potential treatment for low testosterone. A recent small human trial appeared to confirm the results. One theory as to how it works is that red and near-infrared light stimulates photoreceptive proteins in the testicles, which in turn stimulates testosterone production. Another is that red light therapy may inhibit the pineal gland, which secretes melatonin, an inhibitor of testosterone production.

Alleviate Menopause Symptoms with Light Therapy

Many menopausal people suffer from genitourinary syndrome (GSM), caused by a decrease in estrogen in the vaginal tissue. GSM causes a host of unpleasant symptoms, from vaginal dryness, burning, and irritation, to lack of lubrication and pain during sex to various urinary symptoms.

Recent research shows promise in light therapy’s effectiveness in treating GSM by promoting collagen and elastin production, which reduces the effects of vaginal thinning, including loss of natural lubrication. Also, it helps strengthen the urethra and the urethrovaginal sphincter.

Light Therapy Benefits for Brain and Cognitive Function

Emerging data shows that red light therapy can positively affect cognitive functioning, including improved attention and memory in healthy adults when applied to the head.

Some evidence suggests that it could also significantly improve cerebral blood flow and cognitive functioning in those who’ve suffered a traumatic brain injury, even several years after the injury, and is currently being explored as a treatment for those with brain damage due to exposure to explosions and neurotoxins.

Light Therapy Benefits for Alzheimer’s and Dementia

Although it’s a relatively recent study area, the growing research on the benefits of red and near-infrared light on Alzheimer's and dementia shows extreme promise. A recent meta-analysis of clinical trials of photo biomodulation as a treatment for Alzheimer’s and dementia showed that continued light therapy could help improve cognitive function, memory, and sleep while reducing angry outbursts, anxiety, wandering, and olfactory dysfunction. Improved quality of life and reduced caregiver stress have also been observed.

Light Therapy Benefits for Mental Health and Depression

There is mounting evidence that red light therapy has the potential to significantly reduce depressive symptoms in people suffering from major depressive disorder when administered directly through the skull into the prefrontal cortex.

Similar potential is being reported for treating generalised anxiety disorder with red and near-infrared light, with recent preliminary research showing a significant reduction in anxiety symptoms as well as improvements in sleep, with no significant adverse effects.

Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) has historically been treated with bright light therapy designed to mimic the sun. However, bright light can negatively affect your circadian rhythm, mainly when used at the wrong time of day. On the other hand, red light therapy appears to have a positive effect on SAD symptoms, but without the blue light wavelengths, which could negatively impact sleep, it is safe to use ref light even before bed.

Light Therapy Benefits for Healthy Hair and Hair Loss

An estimated 50 million men and 30 million women suffer from some hair loss, with some beginning to show signs of thinning hair as early as their teens. Current treatments typically involve medication, which often comes with an exhaustive array of side effects, or transplant surgery, which can be both painful and expensive.

Continued red light therapy significantly increased hair count and shaft thickness in both men & women. Remarkably, serious side effects are absent across all studies, and patient satisfaction is high. By penetrating the scalp to the base of the hair follicle, red and near-infrared light can stimulate the cells to increase the production of ATP, which increases the activity within the cell, promoting the regeneration of hair follicles. It also boosts collagen, which protects the hair against damaging free radicals. It also increases blood flow to the scalp, allowing more oxygen and nutrients to reach the follicles.

Light Therapy Benefits for Weight Loss and Cellulite

Body fat can be challenging to eliminate. Even with exercise and a proper diet, “problem areas” can persist, causing frustration and discouragement amongst even the most steadfast dieters.

Desperate for results, people will often turn to invasive surgical treatments for fat reduction, potentially harmful teas and supplements, or costly topical scrubs and lotions that, at best, minimally and temporarily reduce the appearance of cellulite.

A growing body of evidence suggests that red light therapy can effectively and significantly help you lose fat, reduce the circumference of targeted areas, such as the waist, hips, and thighs, and considerably reduce the appearance of cellulite. While more research is needed to assess the long-term benefits of red-light therapy for weight management, it certainly shows much promise, with the critical benefit of virtually no severe side effects.

Risks and Side Effects of Light Therapy

The one common thread across the thousands of peer-reviewed clinical studies researching the effectiveness and usefulness of light therapy is that it is safe, non-invasive, and well-tolerated.

A few minor side effects that have been observed include temporary redness and tightness of the skin (contrary to sunburn, this has no adverse effects, as there are no harmful UV lights present) or slight but harmless eye strain (as one might have under lights of any kind), which can be avoided with the use of goggles.

The overwhelming consensus is that red light therapy is a perfectly safe, natural treatment that can significantly affect a variety of ailments and issues, drastically improve the quality of life, and is virtually risk-free.

The Benefits of Pomegranate!!

Here’s why David Heber, MD (founding director of the UCLA Centre for Human Nutrition), and Zhaoping Li, MD, Chief of the Clinical Nutrition Division at UCLA, addressed the variety of health benefits pomegranates offer.

The pomegranate is an ancient plant that grows and thrives in harsh conditions. Despite its deep-rooted history, which goes back thousands of years, the health benefits of the pomegranate fruit are still being uncovered.

"It has the largest and most potent polyphenol antioxidant known,” Dr Heber said. When it gets into your intestine, this polyphenol is broken down into smaller molecules that enter the bloodstream.

Pomegranates contain ellagitannins. Ellagitannins are bioactive polyphenols, chemical compounds found in the peel and seeds of pomegranates. They have anti-inflammatory effects on cells in the body.

When the whole pomegranate fruit is pressed, these compounds can be absorbed as a juice.

Dr Heber explained that when pomegranates are consumed, most of the fruit goes into the gastrointestinal tract (the passageway of the digestive system) and then into the colon. There, it is fermented into smaller substances called urolithins.

Urolithins travel all over the body and can lead to positive outcomes such as reducing age-related decline, halting inflammation and preventing cardiac dysfunction.

Pomegranate effect on immunity, gut microbiome

Our gut hosts more than 100 trillion good and bad bacteria. A healthy human body nourished with natural foods such as fruits and vegetables can promote a healthy gut, also known as the microbiome.

A 2017 study showed that mice consuming pomegranate extract in their feed did not contract inflammatory bowel disease at the same rate as study mice that did not feed on pomegranate extract.

“Compounds in the pomegranate work together to keep the bacteria from growing,” Dr Heber said. Harmful bacterial growth in the gut can lead to inflammatory bowel disease, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, extreme abdominal pain, and cramping.

Dr Heber explained that the traits developed by the pomegranate plant to survive in nature carry over when it is consumed and enters the digestive system.

“When you think about it, plants always must fight bacteria. They grow in soil, which is full of good and bad bacteria. So, the soil's microbiome is something that the roots of the plants must deal with all the time,” Dr Heber explained.

“So, pomegranates developed defensive substances that also work inside humans. Our microbiome is like soil that we carry around with us, and there is an interaction between our cells, our immune system, and the foods we eat.”

Benefits for the skin

Dr Li referred to a separate study where women were asked to drink pomegranate juice for several weeks.

“We then checked the redness of their skin after exposure to UV light. UV light causes oxidation and inflammation in the skin. After 12 weeks we found that you needed a higher dose of UV to cause oxidation in the skin of those who regularly drank pomegranate juice compared to a placebo drink without the pomegranate’s antioxidants.”

“It shows that a lot of what you eat, and drink ends up in the skin,” Dr Heber said.

Dr Li said the pomegranate juice acted as an internal sunscreen, protecting the skin from within.

“The skin benefit of pomegranates is just one component,” Dr Li said. “The skin study is a functional measurement of your body’s antioxidant capacity.”

Skin oxidation occurs when oxidants exceed the capacity of the body’s antioxidant defence system. This causes oxidative stress and can lead to a breakdown in collagen fibres and skin cell function, making the body susceptible to skin diseases such as skin cancer.

Improved memory linked to pomegranate juice.

Memory loss can often be a part of the ageing process. Oxidation occurs in the brain, which can result in mild forgetfulness. Antioxidant-heavy foods such as pomegranates, however, can help sustain cognitive function.

A placebo-controlled study concluded that phytonutrients from pomegranate juice could reduce oxidative stress on the brain and maintain brain health, helping with memory retention.

“During this study, we measured middle-aged and older adults' short-term and long-term memory outcomes. We found that pomegranates can help preserve memory.”

Other benefits of pomegranate

Dr Heber said that UCLA Health has studied pomegranates for almost 20 years. Research has shown pomegranates to have other advantages, such as:

Heart health benefits

Anti-inflammatory properties

Anti-cancer phytonutrients (like those of broccoli)

Urinary health support

Digestive health benefits

Elevated endurance

It boasts antimicrobial properties that fight germs that cause gum disease and bad breath.

Dr Li said pomegranates could also benefit men’s health, having been linked to alleviating erectile dysfunction due to their ability to produce nitric oxide.

She explained that nitric oxide improves the health of blood vessels and causes them to widen and increase circulation. Nitric oxide is responsible for helping blood, oxygen and nutrients flow to all parts of the body.

Hormones

Pomegranates benefit your hormones as excess estrogen can cause mood changes, weight gain, headache pain, breast tenderness and even more severe symptoms.

Pomegranates help by acting as a natural blocker against harmful or excess estrogens. They are rich in anthocyanidins—sugarless plant pigments—and flavonoids, essential for detoxifying and protecting cells. Pomegranates are also high in Vitamin C, vitamins A and E, and folic acid, crucial for healthy hormone production.

Although some women worry about foods with estrogenic properties, pomegranate is a natural adaptogen. It increases estrogen levels when the body is low but blocks more potent estrogens when levels are too high.

Pomegranates are high in Fibre, Folate, Vitamin K, E, B6, and Potassium. They also have three times the number of antioxidants than green tea, which are shown to reduce inflammation. Research also suggests that drinking pomegranate juice every 2 months may lower some people's systolic, diastolic, or blood pressure.

Pomegranate variety and consumption

Dr Heber noted there are more than 1,100 varieties of pomegranate. However, only 50 are grown commercially around the world.

A resilient plant known to adapt to diverse climates, pomegranates grew and evolved in the mountains of Central Asia. Today, they grow in many areas of the world. Domestically, California and Arizona are the two states producing the largest pomegranates.

Some people cut the fruit and eat the arils—the juice-filled pulp surrounding the seeds. This part of the fruit is a high source of antioxidants and fibre.

“You can cut them open and eat the arils individually,” Dr Heber said. However, to get the most out of them, you want to squeeze them and take them in liquid form, as a juice.”

G-Labs | Azluene:

The Rare Molecule in Purity for Scarring, Inflammation & ‘Maskne’

If you have not yet heard of azulene, you might be familiar with the word ‘azure’. The colour of bright skies, the kingfisher bird, the mineral azurite, the sea of the French Riviera, Côte d’Azure, and the health retreats of Saint-Tropez, Cannes, and Monaco. The colour of the jet sets play- ground and our world.

Azulene, a rare and precious molecule of the same bright colour, is distilled from the flower’s chamomile, yarrow, or blue tansy. These botanicals have potent anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties, which positions azulene as a saviour for an extremely specific problem of our time: ‘maskne’.

If, like most inhabitants of the planet Earth this year, you have spent a lot of time wearing a protective face mask, you will no doubt have noticed the detrimental and even acne-like effect it can have on your skin. What is it, moisture and perspiration trapped against the pores, and blemishes proliferate around the irritating elastic. When it is finally time to take off our masks, we almost hesitate to reveal our struggling skin underneath.

Azulene has a dual focus. It has a natural affinity with blood, aiding the breakdown of scar tissue. It is a highly recommended solution for pre- and post-surgery application.

It is also one of nature’s most potent solutions for spots and blemishes, and for balancing the body - a key prevention tactic in addressing acne. But if you are familiar with the work we do at G-Labs, you will know that what we are about to reveal is much more than a simple anti-inflammatory.

The thought our Cicatrices à la Crème Treatment contains more than 45 drops of the rare and precious azulene for its purity. Each drop contains 40 quintillion molecules (that is a 4 followed by 19 zeros). This means that a single drop delivers 40,000 molecules to each and every one of the 100 trillion cells in our bodies is phenomenal.

This is no 1 or 2% concentration cream. This azulene-based Crème consists of 94% active ingredients. It is designed to deliver radical transformation at a level only equalled by surgical intervention, and to work not just topically, but at a cellular level. And here is how.

The most remarkable thing about the rare and precious azulene is its purity its inherent blue light frequencies. This is a high-energy visible light with a long wavelength, enabling penetration of the skin at a deep level. We already know that blue light therapy can be used in high-performance holistic treatments for our minds and bodies, addressing everything from acne to depression to cancer-prevention.

So, while the Cicatrices à la Crème Treatment is carrying out its powerful healing duties on the outermost layer of your skin, targeting the dreaded ‘maskne’, as well as sun damage, fine lines and wrinkles on the face and neck, irritation, and pigmentation, it is simultaneously soaking deeper into the skin.

Here, it works to address a whole complex of biological concerns. This clinical-grade solution stimulates no less than 15 specific natural processes within the body, including mental, hormonal, digestive, respiratory, reproductive, nervous, muscular, and thyroid. If, like so many of us, you have spent the past year slumped in front of Zoom calls, staring at your television, and feeling lethargic, unmotivated, and uninspired, Cicatrices à la Crème works to alter and improve the skin’s appearance externally, and soothe and energise internally.

As is our mantra for every treatment we develop as above, so below.

G-Labs | Have you heard about Venus Legacy?

Fri, 13 Sep 2019 11:57:36 GMT

"The difference was enormous!"

How 6-8 weeks of treatment can give you your dream body

Venus Legacy™ is the VIP aesthetic procedure gaining a phenomenal reputation amongst clinicians and A-Listers alike.

If you are dreaming of a natural, non-surgical, no-downtime solution to your aesthetic well-being, find out why the Venus Concept’s Legacy treatment is receiving rampant reviews, a prestige reputation, and renowned awards.

After mentoring from the venerable Beverly Hills dermatologist, Dr.Harold Lancer , G-Labs were the first in Europe to be trained and supplied with Venus Legacy technology back in 2015.

Since then, we’ve been able to provide a highly-advanced, non-invasive solution that effectively resolves aesthetic challenges.

Unlike many cosmetic procedures, the Legacy experience is pleasant, and easy!

Body Contouring Simplified

The ideal candidate is a person who - despite the attempts to diet and exercise - just cannot shift those pockets of cellulite / excess body fat. Sagging skin and wrinkles are the most prominent reasons why people; in all their magnificence and individual splendour, view surgery as a necessity.

This self-consciousness, snipping away at your potential, can be combated without a prolonged, precarious or painful experience…

Here awaits an opportunity to eliminate those anxieties and harness your inner power, with mere hours of relaxation.

“I absolutely love the Venus Legacy treatment. It’s like a massage for the whole hour!”

– Laine V., Client at Sona MedSpa of North Raleigh

The Experience

Once per week, patients spend approximately 30 minutes comfortably relaxed, while one of four handpieces apply Multi-Polar Radio Frequency and Pulsed Electro-Magnetic Fields to produce heat under the surface of their selected area.

As technical as it sounds, it’s a simple process - some patients fall asleep! And unlike other body-shaping treatments, radio frequency technology is safely applicable to all skin tones.

The patient will feel a slight warmth and a soft suction on their skin, but thanks to VariPulse™ technology (providing real-time thermal feedback) the power of the applicator can be lowered if the level of heat or suction is too strong.

Post-Treatment

There may be a slight redness on the skin as the treated area will be warm and flushed immediately after. This will disappear within an hour or two, then the patient is free to return to their regular routine!

The amount of weekly treatments vary depending on the individual. Neck/facial treatments tend to take 6 treatments, and other areas of the body usually require 8.

After the final treatment, results enhance for the following 3-4 months; a follow-up session is recommended once every few months to help maintain the results and prevent the effects of ageing. Again, the frequency of these sessions is dependent upon the individual.

“...by the end of the six weeks, the difference was enormous. I look so much more honed, the muffin top has gone and the skin on my stomach is far tighter — as smooth as it was in my 40s.”

- Jilly Johnson, Daily Mail 2016

Overall, Venus Legacy is a safe and effective way of reducing cellulite, tightening skin, alleviating wrinkles and diminishing the aesthetic effects of ageing.

With many celebrities and respected clinicians using and endorsing the Venus Legacy treatment, if you’re dreaming of a comfortable way to a slimmer, sculpted, toned body, find out more about the 2019 Aesthetic Everything Award Winner for Best Body Shaping Device.

“Fellow physicians ask me, ‘Since you’re an expert in body contouring, especially with non-invasive procedures—and with your research—if I wanted to buy one device, which one should it be?’ So, looking at it from my experience and research studies, Venus Legacy™ from Venus Concept is the superior device to get.”
