By HELENA MORO;FROM THE WRITINGAs a beauty editor, I confess that I am invited to test various aesthetic procedures, ranging from lasers, modeling massages, biostimulators, photo induction and so on. a lot of things that didn't give any result and I ended up frustrating horrors (#tmj).The reason for this, reader friend, is far from the aesthetic reason - after all, we talk daily here at Gla about how we should be kinder to ourselves -, but close to the false promises that they end up seducing us.And, you should also know, that's not cool.It was with this skeptical mindset that I tested the Sealed Abdomen Method, a mix of non-invasive protocols developed by integrative medicine and advanced aesthetics specialist Natasha Serigatto.Created in 2017, the Method gets its name because of its 'secret formula' (that is, sealed), which combines technological protocols with modified software with a nutritional approach - all with the objective of carrying out apoptosis (breakdown) of the cells of fat.We tested the procedure that proposes the loss of localized fat (in a realistic way) (Photo: Getty Images) — Photo: GlamorWho received me at the first appointment was Natasha herself, who was very #sincere and realistic about the protocol results.A positive point, since the Method does not promise fetched changes that do not match your biotype (aligning patients' expectations is a fundamental part in my opinion)."I always tell my patients to allow themselves to live within their real beauty, that is, within what is possible in each body", explains Natasha."It's no use coming with a picture of Bruna Marquezine's abs, see?".According to the professional, the individuality of the procedures comes out ahead of conventional treatments that also promise to reduce localized fat."In most aesthetic clinics, the patient is faced with 'ready-made' and plastered protocols, which end up not working for different reasons, including the metabolic differences of each one", she says."Through studies, I created a specific format for the aesthetic machines we use here - that's why the method ends up different from the others".Despite having the abdomen in the name, the customer can choose other areas of the body, such as arms, glutes, back, inner thighs, chin and even calves."In the first consultation, we seek to study and understand the habits of each patient to then choose the protocols that work best for each one", she adds.As we explained, the Method aims to carry out the apopthesis of fat cells that exist in a given region.That is, it will 'kill' existing localized fat cells - this does not mean that it inhibits the appearance of new ones.Therefore, professionals indicate combining treatment with physical exercises and a healthy diet, to prevent those old cells from returning.The Method has procedures already known in the world of aesthetics, especially the dreaded Cryolipolysis - even this was the first time I performed the procedure in my entire life.I would like to leave an important addendum on the subject: the great danger of Cryolipolysis is burns, caused by not using a protective thermal blanket.Therefore, it is extremely important that you perform the procedure in an ethical clinic that values ​​the safety of its patients.I chose to do the treatment on the belly and culottes, with the aim of reducing the swelling and abdominal circumference - even though I was thin, I always accumulated fat in the region.I confess that Crio was the most painful (and the one I was most afraid of).In all, it took almost two hours, with the device operating for 30 minutes in different regions.The device acts on the deepest layer of the skin and is strategically positioned in the regions you want to reach.Positioned, it "sucks" the skin into a compartment that reaches up to minus 15 degrees, freezing and killing fat cells.Before and after beauty editor Helena Moro (Photo: Disclosure) — Photo: GlamorIt is worth mentioning that I had a very sensitive and swollen region for five days, a time considered normal by specialists.The other sessions lasted approximately one hour, and consisted of devices based on electrical currents or heat.In these cases, fat cell death occurs due to the heat of the tips, which pass through the region and cause apoptosis.The complete treatment lasted 8 consecutive weeks, in which alternate protocols are performed.“Every Friday we meet and, with the entire team of specialists, we determine how the continuation of that patient will be done", explains Natasha. All this combined with the complement of natural nutraceuticals based on eggplant, chitosan, spirulina and psyllium. " Capsules help both in reducing the absorption of fat by the body but also in bowel regularization - you should take 2 capsules a day for the entire duration of the method", he explains.Before and after beauty editor Helena Moro (Photo: Disclosure) — Photo: GlamorIn total, 19 cm were lost (which were not promised, maybe that's why the surprise was so big), in addition to a visible improvement in the skin texture in the region.Among the body procedures that I have tested before, I can say that the Method was the one that brought the best result - physically and emotionally speaking.Liked it!The clinic is located at Rua Romilda Margarida Gabriel, 46, in the taim Bibi neighborhood, in São Paulo.The treatment has values ​​from 12x R$ 497.
