It's been hailed as a miracle machine that shrinks waistlines 50 times faster. Today Today investigates the Med Contour Machine and how it can help you lose those stubborn kilos that won't budge.
Bernadette Martins tells Today Tonight that she gained 30 kilograms during pregnancy most went with exercise but a stubborn flabby area is persistently frustrating.
"I have looked into certain procedures I don't like anything invasive because i am quite scared of that but i have looked into non-invasive treatment but they are quite expensive." Says Bernadette
Bernadette is trialling a new treatment, hoping to target areas immune to exercise.
Plastic surgeon Dr Jeremy hunt has his doubts about the Med Cntoyr Machine, but cosmetic surgeon Ron Bezic says results speak for themselves, "It does well in areas like the knees the calves the ankles the back the arms anywhere really between your neck down to your ankles."
More stories from Today TonightThe Med Contour machine uses ultrasound technology to stimulate and eventually breakdown fat cells.
Dr Bezic is one of the first to introduce the machine to Australia.
"The machine operates at a very high frequency up to fifty times faster than other machines so you get much more aggressive fat destruction.” says Bezic.
Dr Hunt concedes clinical studies support ultrasound technology but often they're paid for by companies selling the machines so negative outcomes never see the light of day.
"They have no substantiated evidence that this machine is faster. There is no evidence that it is revolutionising the treatment of fat these are all marketing terms used to sell a new machine." Says Jeremy
