enCurve, the en route to slimmer waistline?

enCurve may help to discover your curves

I’m back to Kowayo Aesthetic Clinic for their slimming program. Did a one time trial on Sygmalift previously.

KOWAYO AESTHETIC CLINIC IS LOCATED AT 1 RAFFLES LINK

Despite exercising and having a strict diet, there will be time we need a little help to reduce the bulge that is persistent on our waistline. enCurve is said to be the easy comfortable way to deliver circumferential reduction permanently.

THE TREATMENT ROOM AND ENCURVE

enCurve reduces adipocytes through apoptosis-inducing radio frequency. Specialized frequency at 27.12 MHz is applied to targeted area and heat adipocytes to the optimal temperature to cause denaturation of cells, leading to adipocyte’s death.

I was given to a program consisting of six sessions, targeting on my abdomen. The treatment is said to be a swift one (30 mins) and I am encouraged to increase my water intake throughout the 6 sessions of treatment.

ME ON ENCURVE

I was brought to a simple furnished room and given 2 cups of warm water to drink for pre-treatment and another 2 for post-treatment, The therapist explained that water will assists in removing the dead fat cells so is really essential throughout the program.

To be a suitable candidate for enCurve, you must not have any electronic devices implanted as it may interfere with enCurve. No cell phone is allowed during the treatment too!

A COMFORTABLE PROCEDURE 

The therapist put me on a bed and started adjusting the ergonomic shaped air flow parameter on me. I felt relax and absolutely pain free throughout the process. The only thing I felt was a comfortable gentle warmth on my skin as the radio energy penetrated into my skin.

HOW ENCURVE WORKS 

The apoptosis-inducing radiofrequency penetrates deep into the tissue, targeting on the adipocytes. The frictional heat raises the adipocyte temperature to 45 degrees celsius at which they denaturize. This denaturation causes changes in the integrity of the adipocyte membrane, which leads to apoptosis (cell death), with expulsion of the intracellular lipid. The body’s natural removal process then takes over, removing the damaged cells, permanently removing the cells.

MY RESULT AFTER SIX SESSIONS IN A MONTH 

Overall, I noticed a few cm lost from my entire abdomen and flanks with 4cm off from lower abdomen. My curve and abs looked more define too.

WHAT SETS ENCURVE APART?

  • Safely destroys fat cells while protecting epidermis and dermis
  • 2 Applicators for variety of treatment options including abdomen, thigh and arm
  • Customize treatments with Personalized Impedance Synchronization Application Technology (PISATM)
  • Safely leave patient unattended during most of treatment maximizes staff time
  • Easy to install and operate; No consumables
  • 300 Watts deliver ideal power for optimal treatment outcomes
  • Air Mode works to eliminate sweat on tissue to prevent burn risk

ME WITH DR KS WONG

ON MY FINAL THOUGHTS

With my 6 sessions of enCurve at Kowayo Aesthetic, I must say it does work but not a magic.

This medical grade non invasive machine uses radio frequency energy to melt my treated area’s fat cells permanently. The destroyed cells is said to be removed through the body’s natural processes. I did not notice any difference in my urine or stool even though I lost some cm. Also, no weight lost is being observed during this program.

I find enCurve pretty fuss free as it has no downtime and is ideal for those who don’t want surgery or non-responsive to exercise to lose the inches. Considering for being a food blogger and not exercising much, enCurve seemed to be good.

Maintenance is the key of success for anything that works, so if you have gotten the result you wanted, try to adopt a healthier lifestyle to sustain your new body. There is a 1-for-1 promotion for new customers ($400 before gst) and you can call 6884 4297 for enquiries.
