Its party season and I know I’m in trouble when I can barely squeeze into my ever-dependable not-so-little black dress that I usually reserve for my fat days. Suddenly, images of all the fast food I’ve had in the past three months flash through my mind. I feel like tossing all these party invites and wallowing away in self-despair, with a pint of Ben and Jerry’s of course. Okay Pam, stop.
Like all Christmas miracles, just when I thought I’ve read up on every single short-term crash exercise regime or newly-fangled diets that involve anything from almonds to maple syrup, and knowing they probably won’t work for me. Serendipitously, Body Perfect has introduced the new TripleAction treatment just for those of us who are hoping to take some inches off and tone problem areas.

Reviewing body type to customised a suitable treatment |
Well, I know for a fact that I’m not obese and had to overcome some reservations about approaching a weight management company. But, I have been plagued by flabby arms for the larger part of my adult life. Swimming and hitting the gym just seem to make my arms large by piling on muscles rather than my intended objective of slimming them down. The end result? Me shying away from tube tops and dresses without sleeves. On top of this, I’ve noticed the growing bulge around my tummy when I don a bikini. Blame the fast food. I decided that I should give BodyPerfect a go.
Making an appointment was a relatively smooth affair and I got to see my consultant that very same day in Liat Towers Outlet in the heart Orchard Road. Upon arriving at BodyPerfect, my consultant reviewed my body type and lifestyle habits, together with their unique computerised body composition test; she helped create a customised treatment pathway and mapped out my slimming objectives over the next few weeks. We were going to target those flabby arms and tummy with TripleAction today!
BodyPerfect’s TripleAction treatment is aimed at softening and reducing cellulite by breaking down fat cells and eliminating waste toxins in specific areas. It also enhances your curves by improving cell trophicity and increasing the rate of metabolism. These are scientifically-proven modalities that help create inch-loss in specific areas, known as “Spot Reduction”. BodyPerfect is a pioneer in this treatment methodology and have won a few accolades over the years.

Wrap to intensify absorption |
My treatment started with my primary concern, my upper and lower arms. They were first gently exfoliated with a special mix of Algae and ThermoLymphatic formulation. This unique scrub is gentle to the skin and helps increase the receptivity of the skin for absorption and improve cell metabolism. My arms were then covered with the freshly-blended Seaweed-extract. The same scrub formulation was then applied on my tummy, followed by the Seaweed-extract mask. In addition, BodyPerfect's ThermoActive formulation was added, to boost the overall fat-burning strength of the mask. I was then wrapped up BodyPerfect's CeramicWaves machine featuring the latest ceramic-heating technology, to increase the overall efficacy of the treatment. It was a relatively comfortable process and I could relax for awhile after a hard day’s work.

40 minutes later, I was done. My consultant was eager to show me the results with a tape measure in her hands. Carefully measuring the same problem areas, I was not only pleasantly surprised that I lost a couple of inches, my skin was positively glowing as well! The accumulated fluids and damaged skin tissues were all drained away during the treatment, reducing visible scars or imperfections, leaving my skin looking soft and smooth.

While BodyPerfect Triple Action does not transform you from a size 14 to a size 8 instantly, it is definitely a step in the right direction for me. With a few more treatments planned out these few weeks, I am pretty sure that little black dress and me will party towards a svelte and more toned 2011!
