One of the questions we get asked most often is does CoolSculpting really work? This FDA-cleared and non-invasive procedure has been around for nearly eight years. With thousands of treatments under our belts, Revere can unequivocally answer this question: Yes, this procedure really does work and the results are undeniable. Here’s why:

Don’t get me wrong – exercise is amazing, it produces wonderful endorphins, helps keep us healthy, and is a huge part of weight loss – but it cannot do everything. This is why even despite the fact you’re ACTUALLY sticking to your diet AND you’re pounding it at the gym, certain pesky patches don’t seem to want to shift.

This is because as often as you go to the gym and as many times as you say no to that late afternoon biscuit, the fat cells are still there, as annoying and stubborn as ever!

Fat cells simply shrink or expand depending on a multitude of different things – including acidity level, food choices and exercise. By extension, diet and exercise do not eliminate fat cells forever unlike CoolSculpting.

CoolSculpting permanently reduces the number of fat cells you have in an area, meaning that the fat cells are no longer there and therefore cannot get bigger.

How does CoolSculpting Work?

CoolSculpting works by targeting those pockets of stubborn fat and freezing them – the result is the fat cells are broken down and eliminated from the body via the lymphatic system.

Meaning you can say sayonara to those love handles and aloha to your newly found abs – who knew they were just hiding under that perky layer of fat!

Immediately before the treatment, the skin in the target area is covered with a gel pad for protection and a treatment applicator is then applied to the area. The fat deposits are then gently sucked away into the applicator and frozen to a temperature of up to -11°C. Within a few minutes, the area is numbed by the cold, causing the fat cells to die and with fewer fat cells in the targeted areas you will see inches simply fall of you. The results will take a little while to completely come through (as your body naturally flushes out the dead cells) in 6 – 12 weeks you will see a noticeable difference – giving you the results you not only want but deserve.

Who is CoolSculpting best for?

Now we have talked a lot about what CoolSculpting does, but how about who it works for. The best candidates for CoolSculpting are those who despite exercise and diet STILL cannot get rid of those last bits of fat, the fat that sits just below the surface. The fat we target is called subcutaneous fat – and it is one of the hardest types of fat to lose! Generally, we say – if you can pinch it then we can freeze it!

So what are you waiting for? Your new body is waiting for you and so are we – book in for a consultation now to find out more.

Even though January is almost over – hooray! – it is still cold and wet outside and the bills from over Christmas are still rolling in – queue sad music. Now we know that ‘“Blue Monday” was officially January 20th but as far as we are concerned, it might as well be Blue January. The days are still dark and short, and the rain does not want to stop.

“Blue Monday” as a concept started as a marketing ploy, but is there any truth to it?

Scientifically – probably not – however I will say the clinic always seems to be busier – New Year New You and all that, however, that is not what we subscribe to here at Revere Clinics.

How about New Year – better you. At Revere we believe in natural-looking tweakments, to ensure that you feel like the best version of yourself. Think of us like a little helping hand, giving you the little push you need. When you’re sweating it out in the gym but STILL not seeing the results you want or deserve, think of us like your guardian angel, armed with a CoolSculpting machine to remove those last pesky bits of stubborn fat that just won’t go with exercise and diet alone.

CoolSculpting is the non-surgical alternative to liposuction, eliminating stubborn and unwanted fat without risks, anaesthesia or downtime. Invented by a team at Harvard University, it’s the only FDA-approved treatment of its kind. Using revolutionary cryolipolysis technology it targets, freezes and eliminates fat cells without causing harm to the surrounding tissue. Once eliminated, the fat cells are gone for good – yes forever!

Or how about when Father Time is betraying you and the high tech skincare isn’t giving you the outcome you envisaged, we can help you to turn back the clock, (just a little) with carefully applied dermal fillers from our expert team of award-winning aestheticians.

As we age, the skin loses natural volume, and this is what causes the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. With dermal fillers, you can counteract the effects of age, smoothing fine lines and enhance virtually any facial features and contours. At Revere, we use Juvederm branded fillers, which are made from a synthetic form of hyaluronic acid to add volume to the face, lifting the skin and reducing the depth of existing wrinkles and folds—giving you a more rejuvenated and youthful appearance.

What about the or excess sweating that is stopping you from everyday life – this is the year to kick that in the butt and start living life to the full – sweat free!

MiraDry is a safe and effective solution to excess sweaMiraDry is a safe, effective solution that is clinically proven to reduce underarm sweat. While other treatments for underarm sweating must be frequently repeated to reduce perspiration, MiraDry provides lasting results. And unlike surgeries for the sweat glands, the MiraDry system is entirely non-invasive. It’s the only FDA-cleared treatment that delivers long-lasting results without surgery.

So why let the beginning of this year be depressing and come and visit us today.

Summer is now well and truly over, and FINALLY you have managed to get yourself into a good routine, WELL DONE YOU. You’re exercising a lot, eating well and really focusing on making your health a priority.  Which begs the question, why would you need CoolSculpting?

The truth is that the revolutionary fat freezing procedure will support everything you are doing and more, helping to give you that extra boost when you feel like you are starting to plateau and give you the definition that you previously had never felt was possible. The fat we target is called subcutaneous fat, and it is the pesky type of fat that just doesn’t want to disappear, while it frustratingly sits just under the surface.

We understand that sometimes, despite all of the above hard work, you might need an extra helping hand to help you get over the finish line (so to speak). CoolSculpting gives you fast results that you can see, helping you to feel like the best version of yourself.

Although it can take an average of 2 – 4 months to deliver full results, the initial difference can be seen within just a few weeks. This means all you have to do is maintain your healthy lifestyle with diet and exercise while the fat just melts away. Just imagine!  It’s like turning your workout up a notch every time you hit the gym and guaranteeing the payoff.

The majority of our clients who opt for CoolSculpting choose it to help them trim and sculpt those specific hard to tone areas, as even with the best nutrition and exercise plans, there are always some areas that are just more difficult to shift. In fact, the ideal candidate is someone within 5 – 35 pounds of their goal weight.

Unlike potentially dangerous surgeries such as Liposuction, one of our clients favourite things about CoolSculpting is the fact that it is non-invasive with little to no downtime ideal for patients who want to avoid the risk and recovery time associated with liposuction – this means you could have your treatment over lunchtime and go straight back to your ordinary routine.

How does CoolScultping work?

CoolSculpting freezes away those stubborn patches of unwanted fat; breaking down the fat cell and leaving them to be eliminated from the body via the lymphatic system. The results can take as little as three weeks, meaning that in under a month you could be on the way to your ideal body, without the love handles.

One of the many things at Revere, that sets us apart from everyone else is our specialised mapping technique. We have been fortunate enough to have worked alongside CoolSculpting for nearly a decade and our clients love the results.

Our techniques ensure you get the best results, in as few sessions as possible. We pride ourselves in being your gatekeepers, meaning we will NEVER perform any treatment unnecessarily.

So call in at Revere today for a consultation and find out how we can help!

Acne affects about 95% of people at some point in their life, with most of these people aged between 13 – 30,  but what happens afterwards?

For many people the aftermath of acne can be just as damaging (if not more damaging) than the struggle itself and dark spots, pigmentation and ice pick scars are just some of the unfortunate things that can happen following acne, not to mention acne scarring itself!

At Revere Clinics we understand how upsetting this can be but we also know it does not have to be this way – here is our rundown of the best tips and tricks to help with every form of acne scarring.

Dark Spots

Every cream out there tells you that it can remove dark spots – but what happens when you feel like you have tried them all and those pesky spots don’t seem to be budging; introducing the Obagi Nu Derm. We use Obagi Nu Derm because it actually works – high-Quality medical-grade skincare, the skincare system works as a six-part system, all designed to work in partnership to gradually remove those difficult dark spots.

They say a picture speaks a thousand words and these before and afters do more than just that.

The system accelerates the cellular turnover of the skin, penetrating deep to improve damage in layers of the skin, and helping skin to look and act younger and healthier helping you to learn to love your skin again and feel more confident.

Acne Scarring / Ice Picks Scars

Ice Pick scars are one of the most common complaints we have at Revere, unsurprisingly, as they are some of the hardest to get rid off. This is where Pico Genesis FX comes in. A game-changing FDA-approved procedure that has been championed by Revere Clinics over the last two years. This revolutionary laser treatment penetrates deep into the skin, smoothing away ice pick scars, fine lines and sun damage. Laser light is split through a honeycomb structure, penetrating deeper into the skin, creating a natural regeneration over the 72 hour period after treatment.

Clients have reported seeing far more noticeable results than laser resurfacing and microneedling AND It is even considered a lot less painful than Fraxel, Tixel and plasma devices.

The end result is skin that’s smoother, lighter, brighter and better than ever!

Pigmentation / Redness

Redness is one of those things that most of our clients don’t even realise can be helped, often just assuming that the only solution is covering up with makeup, however, we are here to tell you this is not the case. The VBeam Perfecta is the gold standard of Pulse Dye Laser technology. It delivers an intense burst of light deep into the skin, safely and effectively treating multiple skin conditions, including redness, flushing, spider/thread veins, red scars, rosacea, stretch marks, port wine stains and more.

One of the most popular treatments here at Revere, the VBeam’s Pulse Dye laser works by breaking up and dispersing the red blood cells without damaging the rest of the skin. After being absorbed by the blood vessels or melanin in the skin, it safely and efficiently treats a number of skin conditions.

So if you feel like Acne Scarring is holding you back get in touch with our expert team today and we’ll be happy to talk you through any of our treatments, helping you to receive the help you deserve and become the best version of yourself.

Lacklustre, dull and uneven skin can be disheartening and for many it can feel like there is no solution. Revere started working with Pico Genesis™ after noticing a growth in demand for skin brightening and seeing only unsafe options that did not provide the results that they felt our customers deserved. The Best Aesthetic Doctors of the Year, Revere are dedicated to bringing customers the best in new and innovative treatments and both Pico Genesis™ and Pico Genesis FX™ are game-changers in the world of skin brightening.

Most skin lightening treatments are not FDA approved and can cause irreparable damage to the skin, and in some cases damage to vital organs. According to a report by the British Skin Foundation, ingredients such as Hydroquinone, which are often rife in skin lightening treatments, can damage elastin strands in the skin, causing premature ageing and weakening of skin. Long term, widespread use can cause problems with the nerves and liver.

Pico Genesis™ works by targeting the excess melanin in the skin, as in high concentrations, melanin can cause dark spots and uneven patches. During the Pico Genesis™ procedure, the laser light is absorbed by the melanin, which causes it to break down into tiny particles which are either sloughed off or absorbed into the body – leaving your skin lighter, brighter and more even.

Revere are dedicated bringing their clients the safest and best treatments available, it is this level of care that separates Revere from the competition, both treatments have been championed by Dr Sach Mohan, founder of the award-winning Revere clinics, with Revere being the first UK clinic to offer the treatments. Revere also acts as the training academy on this specialist procedure for practitioners across Europe.

Pico Genesis™ uses the latest generation of non-thermal, photo-mechanical picosecond laser, and focuses on breaking apart melanin to give you a brighter, more even complexion, ridding your skin of sunspots, pigmentation and unwanted freckles. Patients have reported seeing brighter skin in just 24 hours, with the full results of the treatment visible in just three weeks.

Pico Genesis FX™ improves the texture of the skin – gone are those nasty scars and in its place smooth, glowing skin. Using a laser that is split through a honeycomb-like structure, Pico
Genesis FX™ penetrates deeper into the skin, creating a natural regeneration over the 72 hour period after treatment.
For both treatments patients have said that their skin is not only smoother, but lighter and brighter than ever.

Whichever treatment you choose to help you achieve your skin goals, Revere’s team are dedicated to providing the best care possible. No two people are the same and therefore it is important to have a bespoke treatment plan, to ensure that you can achieve the results you want and more importantly deserve.

Everyone has that one friend that is certain that the world is against them, the friend who fights that despite eating healthier, exercising more and generally taking better care of herself, the reason she is not losing weight is not down to the chocolate biscuits she is sneaking at midnight out of the jar, but the fundamental genes that define her gender. Now, whilst you may never want to tell her this, as you may never hear the end of it, there is some truth to her claims – Men do lose weight faster than Women.

Now while this may sound bizarre, to start with, our bodies are made up differently. This means that on average, men have much larger bodies that women, with proportionally more muscle mass. By extension, this makes it a lot easier to burn calories, and therefore at a much faster rate.

Furthermore, hormones also play a part in this cruel trick of fate. Testosterone, which is the primary male sex hormone, supports muscle growth in the body which sequentially creates muscle tissue that burns more calories. Women’s estrogen, however, has the opposite effect.

Estrogen encourages Women to hold on to weight, making it harder to shed those stubborn pounds. It is inherently in a women’s makeup to store excess body fat, parts of their bodies, such as breasts, thighs and hips all contain a high fat to muscle ratio, therefore making it harder to shift from these difficult to reach areas.

Even the way we gain weight is different. Ever heard that phrase Women are from Venus and Men are from Mars, well after hearing this, you might just believe it. When Men put on a few pounds, it tends to go to their abdominal areas, causing the ever faithful beer belly, and when they lose weight, it just comes straight off from there. However, when a Woman puts on weight, it ordinarily hits all areas of the body. Leaving no stone unturned, ravishing the female figure like moths to a flame. Therefore, it makes it more difficult to be able to tell where weight loss is coming from, which can be disheartening and upsetting for many.

This being said, for many Men the pounds go straight to upper body, causing dreaded man boobs, which can be difficult to shift with exercise and diet alone.

The technical term for man boobs is pseudogynecomastia, and it describes an excess of fatty tissue in the chest.  Affecting between 40-50% of men at some point in their lifetimes.

For both Men and Women there are those patches of fat that are just more persistent, and cannot be shifted through simply exercise and diet alone.

So what does all of this mean?

Firstly, this is not suggesting either gender cannot and do not lose weight, just that for many they cannot get the radical results they desire from diet and exercise alone. Every cloud however, does have a silver lining, CoolSculpting is not gender specific and works best on those stubborn patches of fat that just won’t budge. An FDA approved non-invasive procedure, it works by precisely freezing the fat cells which, by extension, die, causing no damage to the rest of the body and unveiling a more chiselled and toned you.

So don’t let physiology get you down and contact Revere today for more information about CoolSculpting.

Men now make up almost 10% of all minimally invasive surgeries and even more than that here at Revere.  Unwanted fat is not gender specific and CoolSculpting is particularly targeted at removing those stubborn patches that just don’t seem to want to budge. Patches like man boobs, that despite repeated exercise, good diet and doing everything by the book, just will not shift. These kinds of areas are perfect for CoolSculpting.

The technical term for man boobs is pseudogynecomastia, and it describes an excess of fatty tissue in the chest.  Affecting between 40-50% of men at some point in their lifetimes we understand that this can be really embarrassing, and that asking for help can feel scary, almost like you are giving up, but we are here to dispel that myth. CoolSculpting is not and never will be giving up; Some patches of fat are more persistent than others, and simply cannot be shifted through exercise and diet alone.

CoolSculpting provides a surgery free option to Liposuction whilst still promising results, it has been performed over 8 million times and is FDA cleared. CoolSculpting works by freezing those stubborn fat cells,  breaking them down and giving you a more sculpted, contoured look. Minimally invasive, with little side effects, CoolSculpting is perfect for the man who wants more definition.

Unlike invasive surgeries such as Liposuction, CoolSculpting does not require any anesthetic, and therefore downtime is significantly less, with most patients feeling no pain at all. All you need to do is sit back, enjoy Netflix, and start planning your new wardrobe. The recovery time is unbelievably quick, with some of our patients going straight back to work.

Think about it  – you could take a leisurely lunch and without anyone knowing come back, closer to a more toned you.  Some patients see results as quickly as three weeks, but most see results over a three month period, all with no one the wiser.

At Revere we understand that everyone is different, and as such, each treatment plan created is bespoke. One of the many things that separates Revere from the rest is our specialised mapping technique, which ensures that you get the best possible results from CoolSculpting, and the results that you deserve and want. We will never do something we don’t believe is right, and in your consultation we will go over your overall goals, ensuring that we have suggested the correct treatment, just for you.  After all, here at Revere we want you to not only look different, but most importantly, feel different.

The internet is a difficult place, constantly contradicting itself, bombarding you with images of unrealistic body types, and then barrating you for trying to change.

Here at Revere, we have a strong social media presence and it is not uncommon that every now and again we get a comment that sounds a bit like this – ‘CoolSculpting is a lie, just go and exercise – stop trying to cheat’ 

Whilst the majority of our comments are far happier than this, it saddens up to think that there are people out there who believe CoolSculpting is a shortcut. This perpetuates the idea that reaching out for help is cheating. For the majority of our clients at Revere they have been doing everything perfectly by the book. They have been exercising well and eating right, but due to external factors, such as age, gender and hormones, it is not possible to shift certain areas of fat through that alone. A lot of the time it is simply the way our bodies are made up, and therefore it really cannot be helped. 

Furthermore, CoolSculpting works most successfully with clients whose ideal weight is within sight, but really just need that extra push, to help achieve the results you want, and more importantly deserve.

Unfortunately, whilst working out at the gym can do a lot, namely make  you very sweaty (but we have miraDry for that!), exercise cannot target specific stubborn areas, not precisely anyway, unlike CoolSculpting, which specifically targets hard to budge areas, helping to enhance all the hard work you have already put in.

This is not to say that there are not people who want a quick fix, however, these are not typically the people who invest their time and money in CoolSculpting. Our clients are wearied by the work they are putting in and the lack of results they are seeing and feel like there is no other option.

CoolSculpting is the only FDA approved treatment of its kind, involving no needles and no anesthesia, which eliminates all the risks associated with invasive procedures, such as liposuction. CoolScultpting has been performed over 4 million times worldwide, and most clients can see results in as little as three weeks. CoolSculpting works by targeting stubborn patches of fat and freezing them, breaking down the fat cells, revealing a more toned and sculpted you. 

When we show our clients there before and afters it is not uncommon for them to feel emotional and we are proud to be able to offer a release for our customers who feel that they have exceeded every other option. We are  proud to be able to make them not only look, but feel different.

Revere have been working alongside CoolSculpting for almost a decade. This means that we have pioneered new ways to use the treatment, have been trusted with training other clinics and have a client following from far and wide, all because we care and want to make a difference.
