Chelsee Healey Visits Cheshire Este Clinic For HIFU Baby Fat Treatment

Our Este Cheshire medical clinic is seeing a wave of celebrity faces these days! Even Manchester’s Chelsee Healey from Waterloo Road and Hollyoaks made an appearance for a non-surgical postpartum fat reduction procedure.  

Here’s why Chelsee decided to have a HIFU belly fat treatment at Este Medical in Wilmslow: 

“I’ve had two children, and no matter how much I go to the gym, I can never get rid of the post-pregnancy fat on my tummy. I’ve come to Este Medical to get it sorted,” reveals actress Chelsea ‘Chelsee’ Healey. 

‍Unwanted Fat Postpartum: What Can Be Done About It? 

When it comes to unwanted or hard-to-shift postnatal fat, Chelsee is not alone. Many new mums find reducing their waist circumference an impossible task. Even dedicated gym trips focusing on the mom pooch can lead to frustration over time when fat doesn’t disappear. After having a baby, loose skin can also become an issue.

‍10 Helpful Tips for Reducing Tummy Fat After Having a Baby

Here are several top tips to reduce fat after being pregnant: 

• Eat a Healthy Diet: Focus on a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. Avoid processed foods and high-sugar snacks.
• Regular Exercise: Do both cardio and strength training exercises. Activities like walking, jogging, swimming, and yoga can be effective on a daily basis, even for 15 mins! 
• Core Exercises: Perform exercises that target the abdominal muscles, such as planks, pelvic tilts, and bridges. Start slowly and gradually increase intensity.
• Water & Hydration: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to stay hydrated and support metabolism. Aim for at least 8-10 glasses of water daily.
• Breastfeeding Advantage: If possible, breastfeeding can help burn extra calories and may assist in losing postpartum weight.
• Get Adequate Sleep: Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep per night to support overall health and weight loss efforts. Take naps when the baby sleeps to ensure adequate rest.
• Stress Management: Practise stress-reducing techniques such as meditation, deep breathing exercises, or hobbies you enjoy. High stress can lead to weight gain, particularly around the abdomen.
• Healthy Snacking: Choose nutritious snacks like nuts and fruits to keep your energy levels up and avoid unhealthy cravings. Avoid sugary and salty snacks.
• Postnatal Yoga or Pilates: Find a postnatal yoga or Pilates class to gently strengthen and tone your core muscles. These classes are specifically designed for new mothers. See if you can find a Zoom class if it makes your life easier. 
• Have a Mommy Makeover: More new moms are combining healthy eating and exercise with medical and cosmetic clinic treatments that help to tighten the skin and reduce fat after having a baby. It’s not uncommon for women to have non-surgical body treatments to get their pre-baby body back. Some moms even decide that surgical procedures are the most optimal way to reach their aesthetic and beauty goals post-pregnancy.

What Is HIFU Body Treatment? ‍

High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is a non-invasive body contouring and skin tightening treatment. HIFU uses ultrasound energy to stimulate the deep layers that support the skin; the high-intensity energy heats the tissue below the skin's surface, causing it to contract and tighten while forming new collagen fibres. The treated area is visibly more lifted and taut; below the surface, fresh collagen production is activated, and fat cells are eliminated.

HIFU Face and Body Treatments are effective for treating the following issues: 

• Abdomen fat ‘mommy pooch’
• Upper arm bingo wings
• Flat breasts
• Sagging neck
• Thick thighs 
• Droopy butt
• Facial laxity 
• Face jowls
• Loose Skin   

Whether it’s your mummy tummy, breasts, or butt, HIFU is a proven non-surgical option to tighten your body as well as treat unwanted fat and reduce the appearance of postpartum cellulite. 

Is HIFU Safe? 

Yes, HIFU works and is considered a safe treatment. Healthcare providers use HIFU because it is skin-safe and non-invasive, and generally safer than other kinds of invasive fat removal treatments. Radio frequency ultrasound treatments rejuvenate the skin, help smooth the skin, and most importantly, tighten your skin and decrease skin sagging. For the best results, you may need multiple treatments, typically 3-6 sessions, spaced a week or two apart.

Does HIFU Work? 

There is clinical data that shows HIFU works to lift sagging skin and reduce fat. In just a few months post-treatment you can see results. Many clients report seeing a positive effect immediately after HIFU treatment. You should see results take place 2 to 3 months after the initial treatment, as the body needs time to naturally regenerate elastin and collagen to help the skin regain its elasticity. 

Can HIFU Be Used My Tummy Fat? 

Yes, this skin tightening treatment can be used on the hips and stomach area, think of it as a non-surgical tummy tuck. 

Does HIFU Get Rid of Fat? 

Regular treatments for fat loss have been proven to reduce areas of fat on the body, like the belly for example. HIFU treatments break down and eliminate fat cells, leading to a reduction in overall body fat. After HIFU treatments for fat loss, the treated area is visibly more lifted and tight; below the surface, fresh collagen production has been activated to tone the skin, and fat cells are destroyed.
