MedSurge Advances Unveils the futureperfect Total Body Management Center, a New Concept in Health and Fitness for Women.


Physician-Managed "Fitspa" Utilizes Breakthrough Fat-Burning and Body-Sculpting Technologies to Help Clients Lose Weight and Improve Body Appearance

DALLAS -- MedSurge Advances, the nation's largest independent provider of aesthetic medicine products and services to physicians, today announced that the futureperfect[TM] Total Body Management Center -- a new, technology-driven concept in health and fitness -- is open to the public.

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, medical director of the center located at LakeSide Market in the Dallas suburb of Plano.

"futureperfect is not a traditional gym or health club. It's a new medical concept that we call a 'fitspa[TM]' -- an evolution of the medspa that provides 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 exertion,
n vigorous action, a great effort, a strong influence.
, 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:

* Slimdome[TM], a therapy utilizing infrared heat to help women shed fat (not simply water weight)

* Vybe[TM], a biodynamic bi·o·dy·nam·ic  
adj.
1. Of or relating to the study of the effects of dynamic processes, such as motion or acceleration, on living organisms.

2.
 technology for targeted fat loss

* MesoMassage[TM], a no-needle mesotherapy for contouring specific areas of the body

* Acoustic Wave Therapy[TM] (AWT (Abstract Windowing Toolkit) A class library from Sun that provides an application framework and graphical user interface (GUI) routines for Java programmers. AWT was the first user interface development system included in the Java Foundation Classes (JFC). [TM]), a treatment for smoothing and firming dimpled skin

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 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."

MedSurge Advances has helped doctors open more than 300 medical spas across the country since its founding in 2002.

Overview of futureperfect Technologies

Slimdome[TM]

Using harmless infrared energy, the Slimdome[TM] encases the body to burn calories at an accelerated rate and help clients reach a highly beneficial "Marathon Sweat[TM]" - excreting fat as well as water. Women simply lie back in the Slimdome (similar to lying in a tanning bed tanning bed

) and let the body's natural response to the warming stimulation melt away calories and release dioxins.

Two unique fat-burning gels are then applied to the skin's surface and deep-tissue massaged into the lower dermal dermal /der·mal/ (der´mal) pertaining to the dermis or to the skin.
