Who says beauty is hard work? The latest beauty treatments are faster than a session of hot yoga and more effortless than make-up. And the best part is that the effect is so natural, it is almost as if you woke up looking like this. Here are the top five life-changing beauty fixes.

SHAPE UP

Banish stubborn bulges with a combination of advanced hot and cold aesthetic treatments. The Cool shape Program taps into cutting-edge technology to target muffin tops, love handles and thighs.

Your treatment begins with Cool sculpting Plus, a fat-reduction procedure that freezes and breaks down selected fat cells, which are naturally flushed out of the body. For enhanced results, a skin-regenerating and lymphatic drainage therapy accelerates the elimination of fat cells. Skin strengthening vitamins are also delivered deep into the skin for toning and firming effects.

Finally, Body Shape by Thermage utilises radio-frequency technology to heat the deeper layers of the skin, tighten collagen and prompt natural skin renewal. A non-invasive and painless alternative to liposuction, this programme firms and tones up the abdomen, thighs and buttocks, and improves skin texture and tone. After a single session, every item in your wardrobe will fit better. 60 minutes for $13,910 at The Sloane Clinic, #03-14A Ion Orchard, tel: 6509 8108

CUSTOM CONTOURING

Regardless of regular exercise and a sensible diet, it can be near impossible to shed the last unwanted centimetre or two.

Liposonix is a non-surgical procedure that tackles stubborn fat to help you achieve your desired waistline. This high-intensity focused ultrasound treatment works by using heat to permanently destroy fat cells just beneath the skin. These fat cells are then naturally metabolised and eliminated by the body over a period of two to three weeks.
