Non-Surgical Body Contouring is the perfect solution for people who want to change their body shape but don’t want to undergo invasive surgical procedure.
It is a safe and effective treatment that reshapes the body by targeting the stubborn fat areas, without affecting other parts of the body. It works on the principle of sucking out excess fat from a particular area, such as the stomach, thighs, arms, and buttocks. This is done through various ways, including liposuction, lasers, and massages.
Non-surgical body contouring can be also achieved by using a corset belt, which is tightened around the waistline. It then helps to compress the stomach by performing gentle pressure on it. This way, you can trim your waistline down to size without undergoing surgery.
Four popular techniques for nonsurgical fat reduction are Injection lipolysis, ultrasonic cavitation, laser-assisted lipolysis, and cryolipolysis.
Injection lipolysis uses an injection of deoxycholic acid, which is derived from the bile acids in the gallbladder, to target fat cells.
Radiofrequency lipolysis uses ultrasound to target fat cells.
laser lipolysis uses a carefully magnified heating technique and laser energy to attack them.
Cryolipolysis uses a freezing technique to target and eliminate fat cells.
Cryolipolysis
Cryolipolysis is a non-invasive, FDA-approved procedure designed for localized fat reduction. It uses controlled cooling to target and crystallize body fat cells, which can then be eliminated by the body’s natural processes.
Athletes use cryolipolysis to reduce their weight before competitions. The US military has also employed cryolipolysis to help soldiers lose weight while on deployment.
The procedure is typically performed in 15-minute sessions, three times per week for up to 6 months. It can be performed on all areas where there are localized deposits of fat, including the abdomen, thighs, arms and chin.
Here are some of the benefits of using Cryolipolysis:
-
It’s a non-invasive procedure that doesn’t require any downtime following treatment.
-
Cryolipolysis is a great way to lose weight and tighten skin.
-
It can provide benefits that range from pain relief to weight loss. It also reduces cellulite in some patients and improves skin texture in others.
-
It Increases skin moisture and reduces dryness.
Laser lipolysis
Laser lipolysis is a technique that removes fat from the body. It works by sending laser to a specific point of the skin. The laser breaks down the fat cells and causes them to be removed from the body.
This technique, which is also known as laser-assisted liposuction or LALES, has been used to remove fat from many parts of the body, including arms, stomach, and even thighs.
Laser lipolysis may be an alternative to regular liposuction for people who cannot undergo surgery or do not want to undergo regular liposuction. It has been shown that it can help patients lose more weight than diet and exercise alone, though the FDA has found no conclusive evidence of the effectiveness of the procedure on weight loss.
Injection lipolysis
Injection lipolysis is a technique that helps you reduce fat in selected parts of the body. It is also known as “lipodissolve” or “lipolyse injection”.
The injection lipolysis technique requires few injections for creating localised fat loss. The fat cells will then be eliminated by the body’s natural processes and will not return. The procedure takes between 30 to 60 minutes, with little downtime afterwards.
Traditionally, the injections are made with a needle one inch apart from each other, but now there are also devices that can make multiple injections at once.
The most common places where most people have their injection lipolysis are belly, chin, thighs and arms. It will take some time for this treatment to see results because it can take many months to see significant changes.
The treatment is easy to manage with minimal side effects because it’s localized and spaced out. The only side effect would be the small needle size which some people might not like, but it’s nothing too bad.
Radiofrequency lipolysis
Radiofrequency lipolysis is the process of heating subcutaneous fat cells through radio waves to produce fat cell death.
Radio frequency (RF) energy is delivered to the subcutaneous fat cells, which are heated up and eventually die. The treatment has been approved by the FDA for reduction of excess localized fat that can be safely removed through liposuction.
The procedure itself is painless and gentle, using non-invasive energy to target excess localized fat deposits in areas such as the chin, knees, arms, thighs, buttocks or back.
The treatment does not require anesthesia or sedation. Patients may experience mild tingling or discomfort during RF treatments but no significant side effects have been reported with this treatment so far.
RF has been shown to be effective in removing fat from localized regions, including thighs, stomachs, upper arms and buttocks.
It is recommended to undergo this treatment after a healthy lifestyle change has been completed for at least six months.
What to Expect From Your Non-Surgical Body Contouring.
Non-surgical body contouring has a lot of benefits that come with it. You will see a significant difference in your appearance. There is no downtime and the procedure is done in a doctor’s office, not an operating room.
Here are some questions to ask yourself before you decide to move forward with non-surgical body contouring:
1. Do you have any health problems that might interfere with the procedure?
2. Is this procedure something you can afford? Will you be able to afford regular treatments?
There are many advantages of non-surgical body contouring procedures, but there are also disadvantages you should be aware of.
The first is the cost. Non-surgical body contouring treatments can be very expensive, costing up to thousands of dollars for a series of sessions.
Secondly, the results are not permanent and may need more treatments in order to keep up with changes in weight over time. This means that if you stop the treatments, your skin will return to its original shape and size which is not desirable for many people who want a long term solution for their problem area on their body.
Thirdly, some procedures can be painful or uncomfortable while others may not produce any discomfort at all, which leaves you guessing if it’s working or not.
What is the Cost of Non-Surgical Body Contouring
This treatment costs between £800 -£4000 in the UK. That’s because it is non-surgical, which is not as expensive as surgery. Different types require different treatments and prices will vary depending on where you have it done.
