What is Our Body Contouring Programme?
With all the delicious food around every corner, it is difficult to maintain your weight and figure in Singapore. Furthermore, every individual is genetically predisposed to have a more significant build up of fat in certain body areas as they put on weight. These areas are also the ones that are the most stubborn to get rid of even with drastic lifestyle modifications. ​ For those who are unable to take the prohibitive downtime of surgery, Astute has the answer in the form of the Astute Body Contouring programme.
How It Works?
Fat freezing, also known as cryolipolysis, is a well established treatment using cold to break down fat cells without damaging the surrounding structures and overlying skin. At exposure to the right cold temperature for a period of time, it induces the death of fat cells, which is a form of natural cell death and the body clears them away over time. Studies have shown that fat freezing can help to remove up to 20-25% of fat in the treatment area. This helps to shape and contour your body even in the most stubborn areas. Common treatment areas include the abdomen, love handles, flanks, thighs, hips, bra bulges and double chin. We use fat freezing to target subcutaneous (superficial) fat.
Venus Legacy utilises multi-polar radio frequency and pulsed electro magnetic fields to deliver homogeneous energy and volumetric heating to multiple layers under the skin’s surface in a quick and safe manner. This helps to naturally increase collagen synthesis and elastin fibres while shrinking fat cells. The result is a slimmer and more toned body with tighter skin and improved appearance of cellulites. The Venus Legacy is excellent for tightening loose skin.
As you can tell, fat freezing and radiofrequency technologies work well together. With the synergistic action of fat freezing and skin tightening, we take a more holistic approach to non-surgical body contouring in order to achieve superior results.
ASTUTE PROGRAMME
Astute’s body contouring programme consists of a detailed body assessment to ensure that you are a suitable candidate for non-invasive body contouring, followed by (6) sessions of Fat Freeze and (6) sessions of Venus Legacy Radiofrequency treatments. These treatments are not a replacement for a healthy lifestyle. Patients must still adhere to a healthy diet and an active lifestyle for a successful outcome.

Beginning
STEP 1 - CONSULT AND BODY ASSESSMENT
Patients will first undergo a detailed consult and body assessment with our experienced doctors and therapists to ensure that they are suitable candidates for the treatments.
STEP 2 - FAT FREEZE
To start off the treatment, patients will commence with a session of fat freeze for the area that they are concerned with. These sessions are done once monthly to give the body enough time to remove and flush out the dead fat cells.
STEP 3 - VENUS LEGACY RADIOFREQUENCY
We alternate this with a session of Venus Legacy Radiofrequency treatment 2 weeks after the initial fat freeze session to aid with skin tightening. This treatment also speeds up the recovery from fat freezing treatments. We also do Venus Legacy sessions once a month.
