It is not nearly as extreme as lipo -- its not as invasive but the results are also more subtle. She told me it is quite effective for subtle changes on small areas of the body -- for example fat under the chin, "back curtains", fat and stretched skin on the tummy, etc.

Its noninvasive and a fraction of the cost of lipo or surgery. She said its especially effective for patients in their 40's who still have some elasticity and rejuvenative ability in the skin. FYI

Interesting! I do hear what you are saying on the rest of it. I am aghast at the weight creep I'm seeing all over and even in children.

The airbrushing thing has totally gotten out of hand though, pretty soon we'll have people who think it's weird to see a knee cap
