The Biggest Loser and ReFit – the perfect team!
What started in the U.S has now spread all over the globe reaching the United Kingdom, Australia, Brazil, Brunei, Germany, Hungary, India, Israel, Mexico, the Netherlands, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Romania, South Africa, Ukraine, and more. “The Biggest Loser”, the extraordinarily popular television show that revolves around overweight contestants competing to lose the most weight, offering winners a grand cash prize, although contestants say the real prize is the new life and self-awareness they acquire.
The weight-loss reality show is all about records. In past seasons of the original U.S version, new benchmarks were repeatedly set: heaviest contestant (454, 476 and 526 pounds), fastest 100-pound weight loss (seven weeks), and most weight lost in one week (34 pounds).
How do they do it? Contestants work out five to six hours a day, eating strictly supervised diets. This allows them to routinely drop double-digit pounds each week, leaving the contestant who loses the smallest percentage of body weight to be sent home – in most cases, with a new found motivation to continue on their weight loss journey.
The show took on a mission to combat the obesity epidemic around the world by showing contestants and viewers an alternative of taking control of your weight. While body mass index (BMI) can be reduced there are some aspects of rapid weight loss that are a bit more problematic: Sagging body skin: Rapid weight loss more than often leaves one’s body with excess skin which does not remodulate and firm up. This is usually most apparent around the under-arm, tummy, thighs and neck, leaving an unfinished look to a highly motivated weight loss success.
Refit , powered by Reaction, is the newest concept from Viora to treat excess skin after extreme weight loss, whether that loss is by diet, exercise, surgical intervention or childbirth. Refit utilizes four modes of non invasive radiofrequency (RF) targeting different tissue depths accompanied by vacuum therapy to ensure deeper heat penetration. This restores collagen flexibility while improving the skin’s firmness and elasticity- achieving an overall body contouring effect.
Viora has had the opportunity to treat contestants from The Biggest Loser for just that problem and the results are amazing!
E.G., a 33 years old mother of 2, recent finalist on a Israeli version of “The Biggest Loser”, and a ReFit patient speaks about her experience:
“I was always overweight growing up and always thought of myself as overweight. Being a contestant of The Biggest Loser was a once in a lifetime opportunity. I lost 42kg in 9 months and went from an overweight mother to one who was fit, in shape, caring about exercise, nutrition and the importance this has in my life. The trainers were incredible and helped me at every step. They identified my weaknesses and helped me change the way I thought about everything, food, working out, how I view myself in the mirror, etc. They gave me the tools to continue this lifestyle on my own.
Everything is easier now – it’s changed everything about how I think about myself and my relations with others, especially my children. I would not have been able to do it without The Biggest Loser. It took me about 14 months from start to finish to lose around 52kg. I’ve gained about 7-8 kilograms back in the following year but since then I’ve been keeping the weight off.
From all the yo-yo diets in the past, and from my recent pregnancy with my son, my body was a mess. I did some research on what was available out there and I was ready for the next challenge!
I had treatments on my underarms and stomach – each area took 20min each session. After only four treatments the results are great and I’m excited as to how ReFit will change my life. I’ve seen a real difference in the loose skin on my stomach and arms. These areas look smoother and firmer.”
So to all you ambitious “Biggest Loser” contestants and viewers – don’t let the fear of sagging skin hold you back, give it your all and make a change in the way you see yourselves and keep up the good work!
Seeing Great Results with ReFit!
Many women who have been pregnant know how hard it is to come to terms with the stretch marks and loose skin remaining after childbirth. This plight is also faced by other who have experienced extreme, drastic weight loss.
Unfortunately, there is no diet or exercise that can help with the flabby and textured skin.
While surgical intervention has become popular, there are serious risks involved with these procedures, including infection, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolisms and more.
That’s why ReFit, Viora’s newest concept for treating excess skin after extreme weight loss is so exciting! Utilitizing Reaction, a leading body contouring device, ReFit treats the skin by restoring collagen flexbility, improving the skin’s firmness and elasticity. Recent cases using ReFit show significant improvment in lax and sagging skin.
A non-invasive solution, with no down-time or anesthesia – a simple, safe solution that allows you to get up and go, right from the treatment bed!
The results from ReFit have been exciting to say the least - check out these before and after images from patients who have undergone the ReFit treatment themselves!
And in her own words: From all the yo-yo diets in the past, and my recent pregnancy, my body was a mess. After losing 93 pounds from being on Israel’s version of The Biggest Loser, I did some research on what was available out there and was ready to make some changes. After only four treatments I’m already seeing results and am excited as to how ReFit will change my life. I’m seeing a real difference in the loose skin on my stomach and arms. Already these areas look smoother and firmer.

A Doctor’s thoughts on Reaction by Viora
In the May/June 2011 issue of MedEsthetics, Dr. Daniel Man of Boca Raton, FL, had some interesting words to say about his observations regarding Reaction. ” The improvement may not be as great as with liposuction, but it is visible after the first treatment,” says Dr. Man, “and it builds with subsequent treatments. We’ve used [the Viora] with many patients and can report an 85% satisfaction rate. The procedure isn’t that expensive and it produces results. You can decrease fat, tighten skin, improve cellulite and decrease existing scars.”

American Health & Beauty- Reaction Reducing Cellulite Around the World
Viora’s Reaction™ is in action around the world! At the recent annual meeting of the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), American Health & Beauty Editor Keith Veseleny met Dr. Mario Fuks, a dermatologist from Argentina to discuss his results using the leading body contouring and cellulite reduction device.
Skin tightening, cellulite reduction, and facial contouring are all possible with just one easy to use machine, the Reaction by Viora. This device uses a fully customizable range of radio frequency (RF) energy to reduce fat deposits and tighten skin. At the recent annual meeting of the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), American Health & Beauty Editor Keith Veseleny sat down with Dr. Mario Fuks, a dermatologist who uses the Reaction in his Argentine office.
“It’s an excellent machine for cellulite, very easy to use, and the results are amazing,” says Dr. Fuks. “It’s a very powerful system for skin tightening, and you get noticeable results after just one treatment.” Dr. Fuks said that he is shocked by not only the power of the machine, but how swiftly he’s able to acheive results. “I was surprised at how quickly I was able to reach the optimal temperature for treating cellulite. It’s much faster than other comparable systems.”
Dr. Fuks is also impressed with the applicator tip, which is small enough to treat areas other devices can’t. “The skin tightening applicator is very good because of its size, and I can use it around the eyes,” says Dr. Fuks. “I’m very surprised at the results I’ve been getting. Reaction by Viora is very good for treating small areas that you cannot treat with other devices.”
While he purchased the Reaction by Viora as a supplement to other technologies already in his office, Dr. Fuks says that he has found himself using the Reaction more and more in place of other devices. He also says that this is an ideal machine for aesthetic practices or medical spas who are just starting out. “I would recommend the Viora to a new office. It’s a very powerful system and it brings a lot of opportunity for skin tightening and body contouring. It is a top of the line system.”

Viora’s Reaction – A Tummy Tuck Alternative
If you’re looking for a solution to your muffin top, or just want to tighten up your stomach for the upcoming bikini season, a March 19th article from LocateADoc.com highlights the benefits of Reaction™ as an alternative to getting a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty).
Reaction by Viora – A Tummy Tuck Alternative?
If you can’t seem to lose that belly bulge with diet and exercise, or you have a small “pooch” after having children, you may have thought about getting a tummy tuck. The tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, is plastic surgery procedure that involves removing body fat and realigning the tissues around the abdomen to create a flat, streamlined appearance. However, there may be another option for men and women who want to achieve that coveted silhouette without surgery. Reaction by Viora is a radio-frequency, cellulite reduction and skin tightening device that can tighten and sculpt the tissues to in the abdominal area. This innovative treatment may be an alternative to tummy tuck surgery in some people.
If you have been thinking about getting a tummy tuck and want to improve the shape of your midsection, set up a consultation with a cosmetic surgeon in your area. Your surgeon can discuss the pros and cons of surgery, and determine whether you are a good candidate for the Reaction by Viora treatment.
How Reaction by Viora Can Sculpt Your Midsection
The Reaction by Viora system is designed with three treatment applicators. These applicators are able to reduce cellulite, decrease the circumference of various body parts, tighten the skin, and also shape and contour the facial tissues. The technology can deliver RF energy at four different frequencies – for a superficial treatment, for a mid-layer treatment, and also for a deep treatment. A multi-layer frequency combines all of these three modes.
If you are getting Reaction by Viora treatments around your midsection or abdominal region, the medical practitioner will adjust the frequency based on how much fat and skin tissue is located in the area. The F-Contour is especially effective for reducing localized fatty deposits in the love handles and smaller pockets of fat around the waist. The B-Contour treatment is designed to reduce cellulite and can also tighten the skin around the abdomen. Your surgeon or medical practitioner will determine which applicator and what frequency will be most appropriate for your body and to reach your goals.
Top Benefits of Reaction by Viora
Since the entire Reaction by Viora treatment is non-invasive, you don’t have to worry about many of the side effects of surgery. Some of the other top benefits of Reaction by Viora include:
- Reduces the circumference of the skin tissues
- Helps to tighten and tone loose skin around the abdominals
- Reduces bumps and the appearance of cellulite in the treated area
- FDA-cleared device
- Delivers immediate results
- Reduces edema and swelling of the skin tissues
More information about the Benefits of Reaction Body Contouring Treatments can be found here.
Since any fat lost from this area isn’t permanent, you do need to maintain a healthy diet and exercise regimen to keep the fat off for good. You can return to regular activities shortly after your treatment, and there is no pain involved.
Learn more about tummy tucks in our information guide, or set up a consultation with a cosmetic surgeon in your area to find out if you are a good candidate for the Reaction by Viora treatment.

She did not complain about any sensitivity or bruising as a result. She walked into her appointment and said that she felt her jeans were fitting better and that she felt much better overall.
As we were taking her measurements we learned that she lost another ½ inch from the circumference of each thigh this week!! Jeans don’t lie!!
These are the before and after pictures of Natalia. The results are noticeable after 4 treatments with 2 to 4 treatments more to go.

During her consultation, Lisa was asked what she looks forward to gaining most from these treatments and she answered “A confidence boost and a much-improved body image.” And it seems she’s getting what she asked for and we can tell. The technicians continue to work with vacuum level 4 (of 4) as she enjoys the massage like quality of the treatment.
