The NU-Life Cosmetics Cellulite Cream Questioned

Mon, 06 Feb 2012 19:22:09 +0000

Learn more about the NU-Life Cosmetics Cellulite Cream to see if it can help you.

/EINPresswire.com/ The NU-Life Cosmetics Thigh & Stomach Cream (cellulite cream) has drawn some negative responses within the Anti-aging community, there is some doubt as to the effectiveness of this breakthrough formula. Yes, cellulite is a nagging problem for a lot of people and it is not possible to "cure it". However, in theory cellulite can be reduced with a basic understanding of what it is and how it's formed.

Cellulite makes the thighs look bumpy, like orange peel because of fat pushing through the connective tissue under the skin. Cellulite is actually just like ordinary fat and becomes worse based on diet, lack of exercise and even hormonal imbalances. Reducing Cellulite is possible through a synergistic approach.

Vanessa Wilson of http://nulifecosmetics.com states, "On the blog You can get a copy of the 2012 Cellulite Report but here are 3 tips you can use to start reducing your cellulite right now."

"First, Drink water. Before you dismiss this, consider that water will improve skin elasticity and tightness. Second, intense resistance training. You must build muscle tissue. It doesn't mean get big muscle, but you need to increase the muscle tissue in order to get rid of fat. Third , use NU-Life Cosmetics Thigh & Stomach Cream".

Reducing Cellulite is possible and the aforementioned tips should not be partially applied. The effectiveness is in the synergism of each tip. "Some people will notice that even though they exercise frequently that they still have a cellulite problem. This is because you can't simply get rid of cellulite with exercise alone. You must change you diet and there are some supplements/products that work. Our Thigh & Stomach Cream is one product that will help reduce cellulite", said Wilson.

To get the FREE 2012 Cellulite Report visit the blog, http://nulifecosmetics.biz/cellulite-report-2/

When on the site take a look at the NU-Life Cosmetics entire line of products, Anti-Aging, Anti-Wrinkle, and the Cellulite Cream.

Bel-Red Center for Aesthetic Surgery Welcomes Dr. Michael Novia

Mon, 06 Feb 2012 12:58:07 +0000

/EINPresswire.com/ Dr. Michael Novia joins the Bel-Red Center team and brings a new procedure to the Bellevue Cosmetic Surgery Center.

The Bel-Red Center for Aesthetic Surgery announces the addition of Dr. Michael Novia to its team of plastic surgeons. Dr. Novia brings an impressive list of credentials and a new procedure option to the clinic.

Dr. Novia is trained in both plastic surgery and otolaryngology, and carries certifications from the American Board of Plastic Surgery and the American Board of Otolaryngology. He received his training at the Medical College of Pennsylvania and had his plastic surgery training at the William Beaumont Army Medical Center. He is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgery. With these credentials, he brings a strong education and high level of surgical skill to the Bel-Red Center for Aesthetic Surgery.

Currently, Dr. Novia is concentrating his practice on the cosmetic and reconstructive surgeries for the breast and body. He recently completed training in fat transfer of the breast, and this is one of the many procedures he will offer at the Bel-Red Center for Aesthetic Surgery When asked about this procedure, Dr. Novia said, "The concept behind fat transfer of the breast is fascinating. We are able to move fat cells from one part of the body through a micro-graft procedure, adding them to another part of the body. This works to add volume or improve contour of the breast by utilizing the body's own tissue."

Bellevue Fat Transfer has several advantages over other contouring procedures. It uses the body's own tissue, limiting risks associated with adding an implant. It also improves the contour of the area of the body where the fat is harvested through liposuction. The surgery is less invasive than implant surgery and can be performed on an outpatient basis. The scars from fat transfer augmentation procedures are also smaller than those from a traditional breast implant.

"I recommend this procedure for women who have undergone treatment for breast cancer," stated Dr. Novia. "It effectively rebuilds and restructures the breast and is safe to use after radiation. It also works to fix problems with contour after implant surgery."

Fat transfer is just one of the many innovative procedures Dr. Novia will offer through the Bel Red Center . He is also an advocate of the Trans Umbilical Breast Augmentation procedure, and is one of only a handful of surgeons in the state who offer this procedure. Trans Umbilical Breast Augmentation involves inserting a saline breast implant through the naval to prevent scarring.

Research is something Dr. Novia is passionate about. He is currently co-investigating a clinical study focused on breast reconstruction with fat transfer using the BRAVA system.

About The Be-Red Center for Aesthetic Surgery
The Be-Red Center for Aesthetic Surgery is a state-of-the-art surgical and clinical facility offering innovative cosmetic surgeries and non-surgical cosmetic treatments. It has been serving the people of Bellevue since 1989. The center recently added Dr. Novia to its medical staff, and he joins founder Dr. Jan Zemplenyi in offering quality services to Bellevue Cosmetic Surgery patients. Call 425-786-2384 to learn more.

Intronix Technologies Obtains FDA 510(k) Clearance For Myoguide™ System

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 15:39:42 +0000

Intronix has won US regulatory clearance for its Myoguide device with support from Emergo Group

/EINPresswire.com/Intronix Technologies Corporation, a Bolton, Ontario-based medical technology developer, has been granted 510(k) clearance by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its Myoguide injection site targeting system.

A hand-held, battery-operated device, Myoguide functions by amplifying electrical activity generated by patients' muscles and providing audio feedback to clinicians to more effectively locate areas of muscle activity and better select injection sites. The device can help in treatments such as pain management, movement disorder treatment and cosmetic procedures.

Intronix's FDA 510(k) application process was supported by Emergo Group, a medical device regulatory consulting firm headquartered in Austin, Texas. Dr. Evan Friedman, President at Intronix, explains the process of selecting third-party assistance to navigate the 510(k) process.

"As this was our first FDA 510(k), we were looking for a company that had knowledge dealing with the FDA and could also serve as our regulatory representative in Europe and the US," says Friedman. "Emergo Group was a great fit for us because we plan to expand into other international markets in the future and they have offices in all the markets we plan to enter."

Once Intronix partnered with Emergo Group, the consulting firm prepared all 510(k) application materials based on the manufacturer's technical information. Then Intronix reviewed and edited the application prior to submission to the FDA.

"For companies such as Intronix going through the FDA 510(k) process for the first time, the process can often prove more complex and challenging than in other markets," says Richard Vincins, Vice President of Quality Assurance Consulting at Emergo Group. "By leveraging our regulatory expertise to win FDA clearance, Intronix can focus on product development and marketing in the US."

About Intronix
Intronix has been manufacturing medical devices since 1984 and specializes in electrophysiological amplifiers for use in the study of the electrical activity of muscles. More information at Intronix's website.
