As the countdown to the swimming costume test has begun, a good chunk of Italians have already set to work to get through it with a mix of diet, gym sessions and aesthetic medicine, just like Hollywood stars. To be ready to show off an enviable appearance at the beach, most people resort to diet and physical activity in the gym or outdoors. Those who resort to aesthetic medicine choose lasers for hair removal and skin rejuvenation.

Even the stars have already started their remise en forme for the summer. Photographed jogging in the park and on the street, they prove that with commitment and perseverance great results can be achieved.Especially jogging and brisk walking are perfect for those who want to get in shape because they can be practised anywhere: on the street, in the park, at the seaside, in the mountains or in the gym, alone or in company. Running helps to stay in shape, to lose a few kilos if necessary and to tone up muscles while improving the heart and lungs. Of course, it must be practised consistently. Big joggers are Katie Holmes, who runs every morning, Reese Witherspoon, Gwyneth Paltrow and Jessica Biel, who are all avid runners. In short, Hollywood stars sculpt their physiques by running. Of course it won't be easy at first, but don't let that discourage you. Gradually you will see the first results and running, or even a brisk walk, will become your daily recharge. Another tip is to move around as much as possible on foot or by bicycle. Cycling allows you to have firm and toned legs and buttocks.

Another key aspect of preparing for summer is diet: a healthy, balanced diet, rich in fruit and vegetables, which are even tastier, fresher and more pleasant in summer, both to eat with meals and to munch on as snacks. The stars each have their own favourite diet.We recommend the Metabolic Balance programme, with which it is possible togradually change the body's metabolism without the aid of drugs or hormones, but only through a correct diet, reducing the patient's calorie requirements and allowing the desired weight to be reached in a gentle and physiological, but above all lasting way.

To prepare for summer, many stars have chosenlaser hair removal, such as Posh Spice Victoria Beckham. With the laser you can finally say goodbye to razors and waxing and always have smooth legs ready to show off. However, laser is a treatment that requires several sessions to be repeated about a month apart for a total of about 7-10 sessions. it is therefore a treatment that must be started during the winter, also because between one session and the next one you must not expose yourself to the sun's rays.

Also with the laser, in particular the Palomar® Starlux 500 fractional 1540 laser, it ispossible to achieve excellent results for skin rejuvenation without resorting to surgery or aggressive ablative laser treatments. It is mainly recommended for the treatment of skin irregularities of the face, periocular wrinkles, peribuccal wrinkles, neck and décolleté wrinkles as well as acne scarring, melasmas and skin spots. Even in this case, it is necessary to think about it in good time, as the effectiveness of the treatment begins to be visible after 2-3 sessions and becomes fully apparent after about 5 sessions. The final result will continue to improve over the following 6 months.
