One of the downsides of aging is that it slows down our metabolism. This makes it harder for people to get rid of unwanted fats and maintain a shapely body. Getting rid of unsightly bulges in the arms, thighs, and tummy pose a challenge even with proper diet and exercise. Not to worry though because there are now fat removal options that yield faster results. However one must remember to weigh their options carefully in choosing any cosmetic procedure. Here is a quick look at fat removal procedures to help you make a decision.
Surgical Liposuction was one of the popular fat removal options in the past decade. It still remains to be a good option for those who want to yield quick results for a shapely body. In a nutshell its a cosmetic procedure that removes body fat through suction. A cannula is inserted in the fat layer of skin and suctions excess fat cells in targeted areas of the body. People undergoing surgical liposuction usually target excess fat in the arms, legs, back and abdomen. One of the advantages of surgical liposuction is that it is able to deliver more dramatic results compared to non-invasive procedures. However, surgery is definitely more expensive and requires longer recovery period.
People who are not so keen on going through surgical procedure can look into non-invasive options that are also less expensive. These options do not require the use of a cannula and removes fat through topical procedures. Devices are simply placed on the body to melt, freeze, or break down fat cells which are then removed from the body through natural processes. This is a good option for people who are within their ideal weight but would simply want to remove unsightly bulges. In general there are four non-invasive techniques for removing excess body fat. These include:
• Laser Lipolysis makes use of low level laser light to break down fat cells and eliminate them from target area. If you want to try this procedure then check out the i.Lipo Body Shaping Laser. It is an FDA approved laser lipolysis procedure that is available in the Philippines.
• Radio Frequency Lipolysis utilizes RF or radio frequency technology to melt away fats in the body. One example of this procedure is the truSculpt™ which has now a 3-D version that targets fats on the face.
• Ultrasound Lipolysis is a procedure that removes fat from target area by raising tissue temperatures to 56 degrees Celsius.
• Cryolipolysis uses cryogenic technology to cause localized death of fat cells without affecting the surrounding tissues.
Aside from these four options, there are more non-invasive fat removal procedures available in the market today. You can easily find body sculpting and body contouring services offered in cosmetic clinics around the world. But in order to find out which option is best for you, always consult a duly licensed cosmetic surgeon. Also don’t forget to consider risks, results, and costs when weighing your fat removal options.
