When you have been trying to lose the obnoxious weight that just won’t seem to disappear with your diet and exercise, you may be inclined to cosmetic procedures to help you get the desired body and appearance you want. Whether it is for health-related reasons or for personal reasons, getting cosmetic procedures done on your body is becoming more acceptable in today’s society. It is actually difficult to go online and not see anything about cosmetic surgeries or treatments influenced by stars and celebrities.
From lip injections and Botox to chemical peels and body contouring, there are more cosmetic treatments available than before. Many people are getting cosmetic surgery without regret to get ready for their vacations, weddings, or for daily life. When it comes to fat removing procedures, you can see an increase in ways to remove fat non-invasively. It is more appealing to be able to get the body you want without going under the knife and accepting dangerous health-related risks.
There are many ways in which fat can be removed from the body, from laser treatments to cold sensations. Here are some of the most popular forms of fat-reducing procedures that do not require surgery.
1. CoolSculpting
CoolSculpting is an alternative to liposuction surgeries. Though these two are similar in the fact that they remove annoying fat from the body, but aren’t for the same type of patient. Those that desire a CoolSculpting procedure should only consider smaller parts of the body. CoolSculpting is created for the small and annoying parts of your body that you may be struggling to get rid of unlike liposuction that can be done on large areas on the body. CoolSculpting targets the side love handles, chin, and stomach area.
Many people opt for CoolSculpting when they want to get rid of double chins. When it comes to the procedure you won’t have to do much preparation beforehand. It is a requirement that you are at having tight and firm skin as well. The process begins when your specialist uses a suction device to freeze fat cells underneath the surface of the skin. The suction allows the paddle being used to focus on a specific area to release cool sensations to begin the freezing process.
2. Zerona
Zerona is comparable to CoolSculpting because of the use of cold treatments to remove fat cells. The difference is that Zerona uses cold lasers while CoolSculpting uses cool sensations. Zerona is also a full-body fat loss treatment that targets specific areas of stubborn fat. This non-invasive treatment uses a laser to target the excess fat cells by modifying the fat tissue under the skin. The process is completely painless as it only deflates the fat cells instead of destroying them. This is beneficial, especially due to the fact that fat cells can reappear in other areas on the body.
Those that have a lot of body fat and aren’t necessarily looking to improve their life habits shouldn’t go for a laser lipo treatment like Zerona. This procedure doesn’t change your body alone, you have to put in work as well. It is also common for patients to receive more than one treatment to complete the process.
3. SculpSure
This first-ever FDA-approved laser treatment for fat removal is popular for smaller areas on the body like flanks, back, inner thighs, and more. With light-based technology, this procedure removes fat cells with hyperthermic methods over short sessions. This body contouring procedure isn’t meant for those who need to lose a significant amount of weight.
If you want to have your skin tighter and sculpted to your body, getting a SculpSure procedure done is an ideal way to get your desired body. It is quite expensive to get done if you are looking to treat multiple areas on your body, starting at around $1,200. Those that get this treatment may usually have to return for more sessions and won’t see results until after 6 weeks.
4. Kybella
Kybella is used in a semi-invasive procedure that only targets the chin area. It is an artificial version of the deoxycholic acid that naturally occurs in the body. The acid is a molecule that your gastrointestinal tract uses to metabolize the fat you intake. The procedure takes place when a specialist injects the deoxycholic acid into your chin area to destroy the current fat cells and tighten the skin around the area. Those that have a double chin should opt for this procedure if there has been a struggle to get rid of fat in that area.
Though Kybella is meant for treating the area around the chin, plastic surgeons often use this deoxycholic acid alternative for body contouring. It is FDA approved and totally safe, though you may experience some side effects, including:
- Swelling
- Nausea
- Difficulty swallowing
- Mouth or throat pain
- Hypertension
- Numbness
- Burning
- Nerve injury
5. Vanquish
Vanquish is specifically created to target fat in the stomach area. Belly fat can be one of the most stubborn fat on your body. Sometimes it doesn’t burn off fast enough when you are exercising and dieting and that’s when it is ideal for you to get a Vanquish procedure done. It takes multiple treatments to get the desired waistline you want. About four to six treatments will get you to lose around 2-4 inches.
This process is can feel like a warm blanket over your body. Treatments usually last around an hour and a half. This treatment is limited to only the tummy and sessions start out at $500 each.
