The Most Effective Ways To A New You

Remember when makeovers were all the rage? It’s not that we’ve grown complacent with ourselves, but we’ve developed a more stealth approach to our personal beauty evolution. In this story, we feature an age-erasing haircut that looks better the less you fuss with it. It’s incredible what lopping off a few inches can do for the face, not to mention your attitude. We’re also paying extra attention to brows and lashes—the newest treatments can cheat the appearance of eight hours’ sleep. As for the neck down, we’re living in a time in which body-shaping procedures can be a logical complement to your diet and exercise routine. There’s also an absculpting machine that works its magic while you get lost in a novel. Even the most sceptical surgeons are lining up for this equipment, which is being heralded as an industry’s breakthrough. And when it comes to the thighs and rear, one doctor recommends a new approach that may save you a lot of time, effort, and grief. These transformations make a huge difference, but even better, they don’t announce themselves. Have we got your attention?

ABS

Everyone embarks on a fitness journey with the hope of transformation, but even with commitment the results are sometimes limited. Enter Emsculpt, an FDA-cleared body-shaping device that induces supramaximal muscle contractions (i.e., pushes your muscles to the limits but sans pain). “It’s the holy grail,” says Dr Paul Jarrod Frank, a New York cosmetic dermatologist and the founder and director of PFrankMD. He’s also one of the world’s most respected “fat guys”, as in he’s one of the best at getting rid of it. “We have procedures to remove fat, we have lasers to tighten the skin, and now with Emsculpt, we have a tool that can build muscle,” says Frank. “It completes the trinity.”
