For a top-to-toe glow and skin that looks and feels its holiday-ready best, Dr Sebagh’s award-winning, expertly targeted body care will lavish your skin with state-of-the-art ingredients, whilst the London clinic offers a multitude of non-invasive treatments involving minimal to no downtime.
For smoother, firmer and more radiant skin—not only on legs, but all over—think circulation, exfoliation and hydration. Daily dry body brushing can make a big difference in boosting the circulation and lymphatic drainage, assisting the body’s natural process of detoxification and helping to alleviate any water retention or puffiness (especially when temperatures rise). For maximum benefits, spend a few moments brushing briskly before your morning shower. Use long, sweeping movements, working from the feet upwards and always in the direction of your heart. Finish with an application of Dr Sebagh’s deeply nourishing and hydrating Supreme Body Cream, to further assist drainage and leave skin feeling smooth and glowing (lavish a little extra on your heels!).
To step out with a beautiful, sun-kissed glow before you hit the sand, add a few drops of Dr Sebagh Self-Tanning Drops to your body cream or lotion.
Another self-tanning Skin Secret: a dash of Supreme Body Cream on areas especially prone to dryness—such as the ankles, knees and elbows—will help to prevent the active tanning agent of any sunless tanner from clinging to and staining these areas.
Considering a treatment to target cellulite? The dimpled look is, in fact, a result of the way fat cells lie under the surface of the skin. As an alternative to liposuction, Meso Body Slim is an injectable treatment administered via a mesotherapy gun used to treat cellulite and crepey skin. The advanced science of radio frequency addresses issues in the superficial layers of the skin, making it a great treatment to reduce wrinkles, tighten and firm skin, and improve stretch marks and skin tone. We recommend a course of treatments for optimal results, the length of which will depend on the area being treated.
If you want to give your legs the extra TLC, the Body Perfecting Treatment, exclusive to the Dr Sebagh Clinic, offers a custom combination of three technologies: mesotherapy vitamin injections, ultrasonic adipo cytolysis, and radiofrequency rejuvenation. This three-pronged approach targets various key contributors to the exacerbated appearance of cellulite that results from the ageing process.
Hair removal tips
Preparation
After you have perfected your pins, you may choose to remove body hair, for whatever reason, especially if you’re going away. You could reach for a razor, but if you want the results to last weeks without stubble whilst away, waxing is your best bet. A day or two before you wax, exfoliate the area with Dr Sebagh Pro Size Deep Exfoliation Mask (and/or the sensitive version for delicate areas) to remove dead skin cells that surround the hair follicles. Exfoliating helps loosen existing ingrown hairs and improves your waxing results. Also, while you’re on holiday, try to exfoliate twice a week to stay hair-free as long as possible.
Aftercare
To keep your body smooth and skin feeling as tight as possible - especially after all the time and effort you put into treating it - moisturising is essential. It’s important to moisturise after your wax and exfoliation, to lock in moisture and keep your skin looking plump.
Again, Dr Sebagh Supreme Body Cream comes to the rescue here, helping to lift, repair, and restructure the skin, leaving it noticeably smoother, more supple, and radiant-looking (and if you want a bronzed glow, too, don’t forget to add a couple of drops of Self-Tanning Drops in the morning with Supreme Body). Follow with Shimmering Body Oil, to get that sun-kissed look, without getting the sunburnt look.
Buttock-boosting treatments
Daily body brushing,massage and applications of the firming Dr Sebagh Supreme Body Cream will go a long way in helping to refine skin texture and boost both the circulation and lymphatic drainage (add a little Self-Tanning Drops, for a dose of natural-looking, beach body colour).
For those seeking a cosmetic treatment that specifically targets the buttocks, Dr Sebagh clinic offers Lanluma bio-stimulating injections, which restore volume and improve skin texture. Its proven formula boosts your body’s own natural collagen production process, meaning the effects last much longer than typical hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers. The full results of the treatment will appear gradually over a 2-to-3-month perio d as you proceed with your planned treatment programme, which is why we recommend commencing this at least 3 months before your trip. As such, Lanluma Buttock Boost is a treatment that gives rise to a gradual transition, achieving the most natural result (see before & after).
For more precise areas of stubborn fat, such as the chin, the clinic offers Sculpt Freeze. The Sculpt Freeze treatment uses controlled cooling to eliminate stubborn fat that resists all efforts through diet and exercise. The latest machine used at the Dr Sebagh clinic is designed with 360° Surround Cooling Technology and multiple cooling cups, to fit all curves and contours from as high as your chin all the way down to the knees, delivering absolute, non-invasive body contouring. You can reduce fat on multiple areas of your body with the Sculpt Freeze procedure, and additional sessions may further enhance your results. The team at the Dr Sebagh clinic will help you create an individualised treatment plan tailored just for you.
For a firming at-home treatment, massage a generous amount of Supreme Body to restructure, lift and firm the skin, leaving it intensively moisturised and feeling fabulous.
Tummy toning
The positive (and often, fast acting) benefits of eating a fresh, well-balanced diet, rich in fruit and vegetables, and regular, targeted cardio and core-strengthening exercise (like Pilates) are well documented when it comes to maintaining tone in the tummy area. In addition, taking steps to avoid stress can help to prevent IBS-related bloating and flare-ups (always seek advice from your doctor or medical professional if you’re experiencing problems with any bloating and/or stomach or digestive issues).
Again, dry skin body brushing works really well on the stomach area—just be sure to go extra gently in this area.
When it comes to cosmetic treatments, Scizersonic is exclusive to the Dr Sebagh clinic. Specifically targeting stubborn areas of fat—for example, around the abdomen, thighs, and flanks—it can reduce those areas by up to 3 inches after just 20 minutes of treatment. This is due to its dual handpieces which allow our team at the Dr Sebagh Clinic to target adipose tissue (also known as fat cells) at multiple depths in different areas of the body simultaneously. With zero downtime and effective results, this is a perfect treatment before sporting a bikini on the beach or wearing that favourite dress that’s been hanging in your wardrobe for too long.
If you got invited to a last-minute holiday that doesn’t give you much time to try Scizersonic and if you’re looking for a treatment that tones your body as well (for example, post-pregnancy), Liquid Lipo + Ultra Bodylift may be your perfect solution. A non-surgical alternative to liposuction, Liquid Lipo is a biocompatible, biodegradable, injectable solution composed of deoxycholic acid. When injected, it disrupts the membranes of fat cells, destroying the cells and releasing fatty acids which your body then expels naturally. Warm pulses of ultrasound energy are delivered deep under the skin, causing the muscle layer to contract. Liquid Lipo with Ultra Bodylift not only helps with fat reduction but also tones and firms the skin, for a toned and rejuvenated body without going under the knife.
Bye-bye bingo wings
Once considered almost impossible to target (even with surgery), the Dr Sebagh Clinic offers a treatment for those who wish to address the naturally crepey-looking skin on the arms in the clinic: the Lanluma Arm Rejuvenation. This treatment is ideal for those who want to reduce the appearance of dimpling, and sagging skin. With this minimally invasive, painless procedure you can achieve natural-looking, long-lasting results in just a few sessions, leaving your arms toned and taut.
PRP is another great treatment for rejuvenating the skin on your décolletage, upper arms, knees, and inner thighs. Platelet Rich Plasma treatment makes use of your body’s powerful biochemistry to rejuvenate your skin by stimulating tissue growth which in turn thickens the dermis and increases its elasticity. Treatment with PRP is a natural anti-ageing solution that is unique to you as it uses your very own cells. The Dr Sebagh clinic was one of the first places in the U.K. to offer Platelet Rich Plasma Treatment making our team one of the most experienced in performing this treatment. You will notice a great improvement in the appearance and texture of the skin, thanks to the remodelling of the epidermis.
To address rough and bumpy elbows, apply Deep Exfoliating Mask for 5 minutes, and you will notice the difference in tone and texture. To maintain that smooth texture, moisturise your arms with Supreme Body, leaving them noticeably smoother, more supple, and radiant-looking. If you want to add an extra anti-aging boost, mix a couple of drops of Retinol Night Repair to boost its ‘Ageing Maintenance' benefits for saggy arms.
Just add sparkle
When you land at your destination, apply Shimmering Body Oil onto your collarbones, arms, and other parts of your body that the sun will naturally catch, to cast the most subtle and sophisticated sun-kissed sparkle on the skin, day or night. The powerful blend of anti-inflammatory oils soothes redness, making it a must-have for post-sun exposure, allowing your tan to last longer. It also works as great tanning oil, but only if used with SPF - after all, you don’t want the lasting memory of your holiday as being sunburned!
