Have you been dieting and exercising to get the weight off and get a beach-ready body? Have you had good results but you still have stubborn fat deposits that just won’t budge?
Non-surgical body sculpting procedures are used to remove and reduce stubborn fat. It is not a weight loss substitute. It is suitable for people who have achieved the desired weight but want to lose stubborn fat. This is fat that resists diet and exercise.
You can safely use non-surgical techniques to remove fat in your upper arms, back, belly (love handles), buttocks, neck and chin, and thighs.
Overview
Non-surgical body shaping procedures are usually done in a clinic or office setting. They are minimally invasive with few if any side effects. Certain treatments do not require any downtime. All types of body shaping work best with those who have a normal body mass index (between 18.5 24.9).
High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound Facelift
This is a clinically proven non-surgical technique that uses high-intensity ultrasound on the skin and subcutaneous tissue. Hifu treatment helps to tighten and define the skin around the face and neck areas. It aids in stimulating and renewing collagen.
Collagen is a critical protein that serves as a building block for the skin. It plays a role in maintaining strength, elasticity, and the overall health of the skin. By stimulating collagen production hifu acts to improve the skin’s texture and reduces sagging.
Cryolipolysis
You may have heard this referred to as “fat freezing” or cool sculpting. Cryolipolysis uses low temperatures to aim and destroy fat cells in various areas of the body. The tissues surrounding these are left unharmed.
The low temperatures destroy fat cells which are then flush away from your body through the lymphoid system. Once the cells are destroyed, they don’t reappear.
Fat freezing can be used on the abdomen, thighs, flanks, arms, bra and back fat, underneath the buttocks, and on a double chin.
Treatments take 30 – 60 minutes with little to no downtime, in most cases. Multiple treatments are required to deliver satisfactory results.
Laser Lipolysis
This is a non-invasive technique to destroy fat cells that use the heat of laser rays. The high temperatures cause the fat cells to die and remove from the body. The cells are disposed of by the body’s lymphatic system in about 12 weeks.
This technique is most often used on the abdomen and thighs.
All of these treatments get rid of fat in stubborn areas.
