DALLAS, Texas May 15, 2007 — MedSurge Advances, the nation’s largest independent provider of aesthetic medicine products and services to physicians, today announced that a new, technology-driven concept in health and fitness — the futureperfect™ Total Body Management Center — will open to the public on Saturday, May 19, at the LakeSide Market in Plano.
“Utilizing breakthrough fat-burning and body-sculpting technologies from Europe and Japan, together with nutritional guidance and physician oversight, the futureperfect™ Total Body Management Center is an innovative and effective alternative to traditional health clubs,” said Dr. Jason M. Riehs, MD, JD, who will manage the futureperfect™ center.
“futureperfect™ is not a gym or a fad diet. It‘s a clinically tested medical concept offering women an alternative method for getting and staying in shape,” Riehs said. “futureperfect™ technologies safely burn fat and tone the body by increasing metabolism, mobilizing fat in the blood, and emulsifying fat. Women experience substantial fitness benefits with only light exertion, because the technologies do much of the work.”
“The technologies at the heart of the futureperfect™ system were developed over the past two years in collaboration with medical equipment companies in Europe and Japan,” said Pascal Servell, clinical director for MedSurge Advances.
These technologies include:
Servell said these treatments and therapies are combined to create customized programs for a wide range of women.
“We created futureperfect around four program levels based upon how much weight a woman wants or needs to lose,” Servell said. “Whether a woman is significantly overweight, or simply wants firming and shaping in selected areas, the futureperfect™ system can deliver superior results as either a supplement or alternative to conventional exercise and weight-loss programs.”
“futureperfect™ technologies are part of a holistic system that includes nutritional guidance, motivation and support,” Servell added. “A medical professional crafts and monitors a customized diet plan for each member, and a registered dietitian leads on-site educational classes and group discussion sessions.”
Said Riehs, “With a licensed physician and a registered dietitian on hand, a medical professional is always readily available to futureperfect™ clients.” Scott Day, chairman and CEO of MedSurge Advances, said the company plans to team with physicians to launch futureperfect™ centers nationwide beginning later this year.
MedSurge Advances has helped doctors open more than 300 medical spas across the country since its founding in 2002. Overview of futureperfect™ Technologies
Using harmless infrared energy, the Slimdome™ encases the body to burn calories at an accelerated rate and help clients reach a highly beneficial “Marathon Sweat™” — excreting fat as well as water. Women simply lie back in the Slimdome™ (similar to lying in a tanning bed) and let the body’s natural response to the warming stimulation melt away calories and release dioxins.
Therapeutic effects include: weight loss, fat loss, improved skin tone, reduction of joint pain and inflammation, blood oxygenation and increased circulation.
Similar in appearance to a treadmill, the Vybe™ induces thousands of involuntary muscle contractions by transmitting high-frequency vibrations to the body through a mechanical vibration plate. The client holds a variety of stationary positions while standing on the plate, as her muscles contract and relax — achieving the benefits of a targeted workout.
Therapeutic effects include: targeted muscle group toning and strengthening, improved bone density, increased circulation, improved range of motion.
Unlike traditional mesotherapy, which uses injections to introduce fat-burning agents into the body, MesoMassage™ uses finely tuned electro-waveforms to create natural micropathways between tissue cells. Two unique fat-burning gels are then applied to the skin’s surface and deep-tissue massaged into the lower dermal layers.
Therapeutic effects include: a more sculpted body in targeted areas, reduction of skin dimples, improved skin tone, enhanced cell circulation.
MedSurge Advances offered a sneak preview of futureperfect technology in 2006 with the introduction of Acoustic Wave Therapy™, a new treatment program to smooth and firm dimpled skin. Since AWT’s™ introduction last September, more than 200 physicians nationwide have provided the therapy on a standalone basis to more than 1,800 women. Using either long pulse or short pulse sound waves, Acoustic Wave Therapy™ creates painless hypersonic pulsations that vibrate the skin’s connective tissue in areas where cellulite commonly forms, firming and smoothing the skin’s appearance.
Therapeutic effects include: improved circulation, increased collagen production, improved skin tone, improved skin elasticity.
