FAT, BEGONE!
Q: I’VE TRIED DIETING AND EXERCISING, BUT STILL CAN’T GET RID OF THE FAT ON MY ARMS AND MY DOUBLE CHIN. WHAT CAN I DO? A: Q: IS THERE AN ALTERNATIVE TO LIPOSUCTION FOR MY TUMMY AND THIGHS? A: Q: IS IT POSSIBLE TO TREAT CELLULITE? A:

Improvements are usually seen after at least four sessions done one week apart.
Try Exilis Elite, which utilises radio-frequency energy to heat and destroy fat cells. These are then removed naturally from the body. It also stimulates collagen production to tighten skin. During the 30- to 45-minute treatment, a gel will be applied, after which
