Non Surgical Fat Removal

PROCEDURE

Non surgical fat removal treatments use different modalities to target and eliminate unwanted fat cells through a topical, rather than surgical, procedure. Popular nonsurgical body contouring treatments include:

CoolSculpting is a good match for people who are close to their target weight, but want to reduce small, localized trouble spots on the hips, abdomen, or thighs. This treatment uses a specialized cryolipolysis device to cool unwanted fat cells to the point of death without affecting surrounding tissues. Once the fat cells die, they are flushed from the body during the days and weeks following the procedure. The final result is seen after three months.

TruSculpt is a similar treatment that utilizes controlled radiofrequency technology to eliminate fat cells on the hips, thighs, buttocks, and abdomen. Treatment typically lasts around an hour, and most patients require one to two treatments to see noticeable results

Zerona cold laser differs from the above noninvasive treatments in that the results are usually seen within several weeks or less. The cold laser targets superficial fat cells, causing the storage form of fat to leak out into the cell. This is then flushed out of the patient’s system, which results in shrinkage of the fat cell itself.

Both treatments are recommended for individuals who are happy with their current weight, but want to reduce fat in areas that are difficult to tone through diet and exercise. Patients should expect no more than about a 25% reduction of fat in the treated areas from nonsurgical treatments. Additionally, these treatments do not result in additional skin contracture which occurs with traditional liposculpture methods.
