Easy and effective ways to get bikini ready in 4 weeks

With summer right around the corner, it’s time to think about shedding those winter layers and slipping into something that shows more skin. If the thought of baring all terrifies you, don’t worry, you’re not alone. As the countdown to the bathing suits and shorts begins, we are here to help you look and feel your best when the thermometer begins to rise.

 First things first, SET YOUR GOALS

Ask yourself these questions: Do I want to lose weight? Get toned? Banish belly flab? Get rid of “crepey” arms? Decide what areas of your body you want to focus on and then put a picture to your goal. Buying the perfect bikini and hanging it somewhere you will see it everyday is great motivation to keep you focused on achieving what you want. It is easier to stay on track when you know what results you want.

Be reasonable with your goal. You can make a big difference in a month, but don’t expect to shed 20 pounds in 30 days. Once you’ve decided on the end goal, set mini milestones, like drink an extra glass a water a day or skip that wine with dinner. You’ll stay motivated by achieving the small goals and it has a snowball effect: you’ll gain momentum and eventually work your way up to reaching your big goals.

 Bump up your EXERCISE

You’ve heard it a million times, but that is because it works. Add an extra mile or two to your daily walk. Looking for fast results? Increase your interval training. Boot camps are notorious for killer interval training routines. Grab a friend and head to a nearby park and you’ll be surprised by the difference one month of boot camp or extra walking can do for your body.

 Get TONED

We hate our problem areas because they are just that– problems! Each of us has that area that refuses to tighten and smooth, no
matter what you do. Let us help you firm up with the services we offer:

CoolSculpting: Transform your body without surgery or downtime. CoolSculpting targets the stubborn fat that seems to defy physics and sticks around no matter how much you diet and exercise. Book your first session today and you’ll start seeing results within 4-8 weeks. Curious as to how this works? Be the first to sign up for our event on May 14 with our Medical Technician/Aesthetician Nicole Albin. Respond to this email for more details.

Venus Freeze: Tackle the “crepey” arm look, erase the look of cellulite, and reduce circumference with this non-invasive skin tightening procedure. Let the combination of Radio Frequency and Magnetic Pulses do the work and in 4-8 weeks all you have to do is flaunt your smooth skin.

Liposuction: For more dramatic results, consider liposuction. With liposuction you can reduce fat in localized locations, reducing fat deposits and creating the shape you want. Depending on the area and amount of fat reduced, you will need to plan on a bit of downtime for recovery.

Breast Augmentation: Enhance breast fullness, balance your figure, and increase your self-confidence with this surgery. Not sure if you want to go for a round or shaped implant? Read Dr. Marcus’ blog article about implant shapes here. Book your consultation soon if you want that “enhanced” look for this swimsuit season.

FAKE it.

The quickest way to look slim and confident in your bikini is a great tan. Muscle definition shows up much easier on a bronzed body than pasty white skin. Plus, the bright colored suits that are popular this season will pop against a golden tan. Save your skin and opt for a spray tan for an instant glow. For an added bonus, ask the tanning technician to add some contouring, and voila, instant 6 pack!

You can make big changes in your body in 30 days, but you need to plan ahead. Set realistic goals, start making changes in your daily habits, and book your appointments now so you can be ready to hit the beach when summer arrives.
