Body contouring with non-invasive laser technology can help people eliminate stubborn fat in areas that are the most difficult for you to loose weight in.
Most people assume that effective and significant results can only happen with surgery. This option can achieve excellent results, but the down side is it requires days or weeks of downtime and recovery as well as expense.
However, there are effective non-surgical body contouring procedures available to choose from. This eliminates downtime and other side effects, like scarring, while still providing great results.
It’s important to keep in mind that nonsurgical body contouring isn’t meant to serve as a weight loss solution.
Instead, you are considered a good candidate for a non-surgical body contouring procedure if you have already gotten close to your ideal weight and want to shed excess fat that you cannot eliminate through dieting and exercise alone.
In addition, you should also not have a body mass index, or BMI, of greater than 30.
Let’s take a look at what options are available for non-surgical fat reduction.
Cryolipolysis
Cryolipolysis, more popularly known as CoolSculpting, is an FDA- approved body contouring procedure.
It’s a non-invasive treatment that aims to eliminate fat by using cold temperatures to freeze fat cells and kill them off permanently. It’s safe and effective and doesn’t damage other tissues around the target area.
After fat cells are frozen, they are naturally eliminated from the body through the lymphatic system.
The procedure can target fat cells in the following areas of the body:
- Abdomen
- Arms
- Back
- Breasts
- Double chin
- Flanks
- Thighs
- Buttocks
Cryolipolysis takes around 30 to 60 minutes. There is generally little to no downtime.
Results can be seen in one session, but most typically require 2-4 sessions.
Laser Lipolysis
Laser lipolysis is also known as SculpSure, and is another noninvasive option that uses laser energy to kill fat cells through heat.
Like cryolipolysis, extreme temperatures—hot, in this case—target and kill fat cells, which are permanently eliminated within 12 weeks through the lymphatic system.
Laser lipolysis is typically performed on the abdomen and flanks. Treatments take around 25 minutes and result in little to no downtime. However, you generally need multiple treatments to see results.
UltraShape Power
UltraShape Power is a non-invasive procedure that is approved by the FDA.
This devices uses ultrasound technology to eliminate fat cells. Ultrashape has no downtime or pain.
The procedure is generally takes 30-60 minutes depending on the size of the area to be treated.
Ultrasound energy causes apoptosis of the cell – this means cell death. The released fat is naturally passed through your lymphatic system over 90 days.
The abdomen and flanks are common target areas for nonsurgical ultrasound fat reduction .
Multiple sessions spaced 2 weeks apart are ideal.
You can resume your regular activities after each procedure.
Injection Lipolysis – Kybella, Celluform,
Injection lipolysis, also known as Kybella or Celluform, targets the double chin and other common body fat areas.
The injectable formula uses a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, which is found naturally in the body to absorb fat.
This substance can kill fat cells that are naturally absorbed by the body within a few weeks after treatment.
There is mild discomfort and possible bruising post treatment. You can resume your regular activities right after your procedure.
An injection lipolysis utilizing Kybella is FDA approved and specifically targets the area under the chin.
Other areas such as back bra bulge, under chin and abdomen are commonly treated.
Treatments last around 30 minutes.
