While healthy weight loss should always incorporate healthy dietary choices, portion control, and regular exercise, now non-surgical procedures are available which can help zap the fat, especially in some trouble spots such as the tummy or thighs that can defy even the most stringent diet and exercise regimen.
The most popular 3 non invasive ways for body sculpting are to melt away the fat with Lipo Laser, freeze away the fat with Cryolipolysis or blast away the fat with High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound.
Melt away the fat with Lipo Laser
lipo laser machines work by disrupting fat cell membrane so that the fatty material stored in them collapses or melts and is absorbed into the body. The patient simply relaxes during the procedure, and there is no need for anesthesia, gels, creams or numbing agents. A treatment package includes six treatments performed over two weeks in a doctor’s office. The procedure removed from 1 to 1.5 inches from each area treated, including the waist, hips and thighs.
Freezes away the fat with Cryolipolysis
Commonly known as coolsculpting, cryolipolysis employs a cooling suction device to target the area of fat. The cold temperature, which is actually above the freezing point, destroys fat cells beneath the skin. The application of cold causes a numbing sensation and some people experience redness, mild pain and bruising for a few days after the procedure. The results take from two to four months to appear as the damaged fat cells slowly dissolve. Most areas such as the tummy, thighs, or hips, require two to three treatments for the best results, which on average is a 20% reduction of fat.
Blast away the fat with High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound
High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound(HIFU) Technology is used to transform energy into heat in order to blast away fat cells. High-intensity focused ultrasound energy is used to destroy the targeted fat, by thermal ablation, without harming the surrounding skin. There is no preparation required and no anesthesia necessary. The patient lies comfortably while the ultrasound device targets the area to be treated. The results of about a one-inch reduction per session are not immediately visible, usually becoming apparent approximately two to three months after the procedure.
Although these methods are not intended for extreme levels of weight loss for people who are overweight or obese, they have proved successful for people who are not overweight, by decreasing fat cells in targeted areas, which have failed to respond to diet and exercise.
