And since we can't all be celebrities, how about giving you a treatment that helps you feel like one?
I'm talking about Thermage machine that claims to shrink your waist by two inches in one hour.
Whoo!
We'll all be the judge of that a little bit later.
We also have something else exciting going on today. Dr. Ordon, fill us in with what's going on backstage.
This is a little more closer to home for me than some of these other subjects [laughter], but we have Dr. Bill Johnson backstage.
He's doing Thermage treatment on Sonya's abdomen.
Now – what Thermage is, it's radio frequency skin tightening.
It's a noninvasive skin-tightening procedure.
I've been doing Thermage on the face since 2002.
But what's different here, he has a different hand piece.
This is the new hand piece, much larger, wider. So what he's able to do is to administer a much higher level of radiofrequency.
So we hear the – see the hand piece going on the skin.
These radio frequency waves penetrating into the dermis to melt and then constrict, tighten the collagen fibers.
So what we expect to see here is a two-inch shrinking of Sonya's muffin top.
This is not yet FDA approved.
He's somebody that's doing the clinical trials with this hand piece.
It's not available to everybody yet, but I'm anxious to try it out.
We're gonna check back in with Sonya a little bit later to show you all the results.
What if I told you, you could lose two inches off your waist in an hour? You'd probably want to kiss me, right [Laughter]?
They want to do that anyway.
Well, save your love for Dr. Ordon. He's backstage with Dr. Bill Johnson performing a cutting-edge new form of Thermage.
Dr. Ordon, talk to us. How's it going back there?
Hello, Travis. It's going great. I'm here with Dr. Bill Johnson from Dallas and his technician assistant and Sonya.
She's got a smile on her face.
I already see that this muffin top is melting.
So as you can see, we drew these little gridlines on her abdomen.
And you see that we placed the hand piece on those squares.
That helps us ensure that she's getting the heat, the energy in the right place, the right amount of times.
Good luck back there, Sonya. We're gonna check back in with Sonya and show her your results later in the show.
Remember Sonya who was desperate to get rid of that muffin top using the latest cutting-edge form of Thermage?
It's time to see her results and see if she really lost two inches in just an hour off her waist.
Dr. Ordon is backstage in our procedure room with Sonya with Dr. Johnson right now to find out. Dr. Ordon?
All right. We're back in the procedure room with Dr. Johnson and Sonya. How do you feel?
I feel good.
You look good. Thank you.
Well, we're dying to see the results here, see how that muffin top looks. Okay?
All right. Can you pull things up for me? I want to get the official measurement here.
And we started out at 32-1/2 inches at the waist measurement. Okay.
So we're now down another quarter inch from what we did right after procedure.
Correct. We're at about 29 and 3/4.
Twenty-nine and three-quarters. So she's lost two and three-quarters inches.
Two and three-quarters from the waist.
And going down 'cause we've lost an extra quarter inch just since we finished the procedure.
Okay. Very good. Let's get the second measurement.
So this is a – I'm sorry. That's okay.
This is at the hip.
The hip measurement, which we were 37 and 3/4 at this measurement when we – 38 and 3/4 when we started.
And we're now down to 33 – inches. Wow.
So that's a loss of almost five inches.
And this is not water weight that we've lost. No.
This is all collagen contraction. This is tightening her skin, tightening the supporting tissue around the fat in her abdomen.
Okay. Now let's take a look at the before. And I want to compare it to the after. What do you think?
Remarkable.
I can see it. Do you see that out there? We love it. Here's back to you.
Thank you, Sonya. You look great. Thank you, Dr. Johnson. And a special thanks, again, to Dr. Greg Fontana from Cedars Sinai Medical Center.
