Zap Your Muffin Top

Meet Bella Contour, the newest noninvasive slimming technique to hit our shores. As Dr. Tina Alster, director of the Washington Institute of Dermatologic Laser Surgery, describes it, a handheld wand delivers a combination of ultrasound, electric current, and vacuum pressure to tighten skin around the abs (or thighs or buttocks). The procedure is painless, she says: "Patients not only have firmer skin but also lose inches off the abdomen." Six to eight sessions (from $300 to $500 each) are recommended. The treatment is now available in Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Texas, and Washington, D.C. For more info, go to realaesthetics.com.
