Gillette Venus has recently announced their partnership with Jennifer Lopez as their Global Brand Ambassador.  The new American Idol judge came out with her rendition of the iconic song “Venus,” in their new commercial showing off JLo’s beautiful legs.

Jennifer and Gillette also launched the Venus Goddess Fund for Education, a new global cause supporting female empowerment through education. What’s great is that money will go to the Venus Goddess Fund for Education anytime a woman inspired to share her story visits the Gillette Venus website.

Try as you might, your favorite pair of jeans just aren’t going to fit any more. You’ve tried all the latest diets, you’ve got a Platinum membership at the gym – but nothing is working. So what about liposuction? The trouble is, it means an overnight stay. Besides, you’re not fat – there are just one or two specific areas that need some attention.

Maybe it’s time to try laser liposuction. It’s a new, minimally-invasive, technique that’s fast gaining popularity – and a deserved reputation for dealing with those parts of your body that no amount of exercise seems to reach. ‘Love handles,’ ‘spare tire’ or ‘saddlebags’ – it doesn’t matter which part of your body you specifically want to target, laser liposuction may help.

So how does laser liposuction (“lunchtime lipo” as it’s colloquially known) work? First of all small incisions are made in your skin – typically they’ll be around two to three millimeters in length. A laser is introduced which ‘liquefies’ the fat, allowing the fat to be drawn out through a cannula. The laser is then used again, to encourage the tightening of the skin.

Most patients will want to rest after the procedure, but you’ll definitely be home the same day, and back to normal life within a couple of days. It’s probably advisable to wear something tight on the area you’ve had treated for a week or so, just to counteract any swelling after the procedure.

The fact that laser liposuction can be so specifically targeted means that particular areas of your body can be shaped and sculpted. So if you’ve despaired of ever losing those ‘love handles…’ the good news is that help is finally at hand!
