Beauty Do you want to drop a dress size by Christmas?

Find out how well cosmetic surgery expert Shannon Leeman's six week plan worked on one GMTV viewer

Six weeks ago we kicked off our 'Sexy in Six Week' plan to give three women the chance to lose weight and feel better about themselves in time for Christmas.

Each viewer was given a different technique to shed the pounds; a healthy eating plan, an exercise plan and a salon treatment plan.

Twenty-five-year-old Sophie McKenna wanted to see if beauty treatments really would shift those inches so she could shine at her Christmas party. Sophie hated her stomach and her boobs and always bought clothes to cover them - so how has the beauty plan worked for her?

Instant toning put to the test
Beauty expert Shannon Leeman recommends two Ultra Shape treatments. Each treatment lasts one hour and involves blasting fat cells ultrasonically. The Ultra Shape system does have recommended dietary suggestions that will help elimination. Always consult your GP before considering this treatment. For more details on the treatment, visit the website by clicking here

Sophie will then go on a course of  Endermologie which involves a deep massage with a machine that involves rollers pressed over all the areas we are addressing and helps break up the fat and speed elimination of the fat cells that have been treated with the Ultra Shape. This treatment helps with cellulite and will improve the overall contour and surface of the skin. Always consult your GP before considering this treatment.

Towards the end of the six weeks Shannon is recommending an instant weight loss program as well as a number of wraps which will again help in the elimination of fat and excess water. Visit

Please remember that you should always consult your local doctor first before undergoing any cosmetic surgery. You can find out more about the other two programmes by following the links below.
