Testimonials
The simplicity and comfort of the entire weight losing process was the best part for me. Every time I stood up on the scale, it was a dance of joy. That feeling of fitting in my old jeans and t-shirts was incomparable. My confidence level is at an all time high, people now treat me differently and ask me about how I did it, in fact I've become an example for some people.

I had to take 3-4 types of medicines every day on account of diabetes. The doctors advised me to reduce my weight to fight diabetes. So I tried a lot of thing to lose weight but, nothing seemed to work. With only 10 sessions of ION MAGNUM I could see a huge difference and my blood sugar levels came under control. Now, I am down to just 1 medicine a day with healthy diet and regular exercise.I feel energetic and confident.

The Nano Perfector sessions have made my face near perfect. I have noticed my double chin has gone and seeing a visible lift in my facial skin which was drooping. I was very happy after just 2 sessions because my daughter, my son, my husband everybody started asking me what you have done to your face. I had not told anyone at home, as I wanted to know their reaction.

I had undergone a cesarean surgery earlier. Upon check-up by the doctors at Define, I found out that I had 'divarication of rectus', which is muscle weakening in the abdominal area. the doctors tailored a fat loss and a muscle correction plan for me which bore tremendous results. Now, I have not only lost 7.6 inches fat but also regained muscle strength. The medical approach at Define is far superior than one can expect at a regular weight loss clinic.

During my pregnancy I had developed preeclampsia. Due to this there were a lot of complications and my weight had increased too. Most of the fat was deposited around my abdomen. Being a doctor myself, I knew that the fat in this area can be visceral fat which is deposited around organs. Increase in visceral fat increases risk of diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, fatty liver and many other conditions. I was not able to lose this fat despite of all my efforts. At Define Aesthetics I lost 8 inches of fat in just 1 month.
