Almost all women experience it at some point in their lives. We all have those moments when we look in the mirror and wonder why our bodies aren't where we want them to be. During times like these, we often seek a quick, one-stop solution, but sadly there is no magical weight-loss solution or a pill that can make you slim in a few weeks.
However, these are exciting times in the field of body contouring. The three most popular non-invasive methods to achieve skin tightness and fat reduction can be found in your local beauty bar or spa. Radio frequency (RF), laser, and ultrasound cavitation all use similar techniques to heat the area and shock fat cells for release through the lymphatic system. Radio frequency, laser, and ultrasound cavitation are safe, effective noninvasive methods of body sculpting. They work by shrinking fat cells, reducing skin circumference, and tightening one’s body. These three technologies are the most popular choices available for aesthetic treatments that people are seeking to achieve their dreams of looking great. Here we'll discuss the three innovative techniques that could shed your weight without you doing much work.
Ultrasound Cavitation: Targeted fat release and metabolism
Ultrasound cavitation, also called lipo-cavitation, uses low-frequency ultrasound waves to shatter fat cells. It is minimally invasive, painless, and highly effective. The treatment works by using high-intensity sound waves to break the fat cells down. That releases the fat molecules, which are then processed by the body and eliminated. Sound too good to be true? Maybe. But ultrasound cavitation is backed by years of research. It's safe, painless, and non-invasive. It's the only treatment that combines targeted fat release and metabolism-boosting effects. When these fat cells get shattered, they are drained by an immune system response, which prompts the body to eliminate them. Ultrasound cavitation is not a weight loss solution, but it does help with cellulite and fat deposits. It also helps to stimulate the lymphatic system, which drains away waste and toxins. The lymphatic system helps keep the skin healthy, and also helps the body consume fat more efficiently. Ultrasound cavitation's primary benefit, however, is that it can help target fat deposits directly, and without surgery or downtime.
Radio frequency: Skin tightening and fat reduction
Radio frequency (RF) is a type of heat. The RF energy heats the tissue and stimulates its contraction. The contraction of the tissue causes the fat cells to rupture and melt, and the fat is then flushed out of the body. Cellulite and fat removal with radio-frequency energy is a noninvasive, comfortable procedure that tightens skin post treatment. When RF is applied to cellulite, it stimulates the production of collagen and elastin fibers, which improves the texture and tone on the user's skin. Radio frequency also improves circulation and lymph flow. Because of the lymphatic drainage, cellulite subsides, and the skin becomes smoother and tighter. The treatment can dramatically reduce areas of fat, cellulite and sagging skin. The contraction and tightening process continues for several weeks as the collagen slowly re-grows, leaving your skin smoother and tighter. Radio frequency is FDA-approved, and it's one of the most commonly performed non-surgical procedures. RF has gained popularity because its results look real, and it's safe. The treatments are virtually painless. So, unlike liposuction, which removes fat from your body with surgery, RF uses heat to "melt" fat cells. Many women use RF on areas like their thighs, arms, abdominal, jowls, chin, and buttocks, where cellulite and loose skin are an issue. Radio frequency sessions take about 20-35 minutes to complete, and typically produce results that last for months. RF treatments are safe and patients can resume their normal activities right away. The treated areas may appear red or mildly swollen for 24-48 hours after the RF session.
Laser Lipo Therapy: Fat reduction and metabolism
The Laser Lipo Therapy fat melting system is a non-invasive, procedure that is safe, and virtually painless. It is performed with no needles, no anesthesia and no down time. Users are able to return to work, to their normal activities, and to their normal lives, immediately. Laser lipo utilizes laser light, to heat the fat cells to the point of coagulation. The coagulated fat cells are broken down and metabolized by the body. The procedure removes stubborn fat from trouble spots such as the abdomen, thighs, buttocks and chin. It burns fat away while leaving the skin and connective tissues intact. The treatment uses laser energy that are channeled through laser pads placed over the targeted area. Laser lipolysis works because fat cells are more sensitive to light than surrounding tissue. The light destroys fat cells, which are then absorbed and processed by the body through the lymphatic system. Depending on the treatment area, results can often be seen after one treatment. Similar to radio frequency, laser lipo also stimulates the production of collagen, which tightens the skin. Results from this treatment are smoother skin, reduces the appearance of cellulite, and decreases the size of fat cells. Not bad for only a 40-45 minute laser lipo session.
Summary
In summary, ultrasound cavitation and body sculpting are areas where people are looking for answers. Fortunately, ultrasound cavitation, radio frequency, and laser lipo are three of the most popular non-invasive methods to accomplish these goals. Body contouring uses two highly effective methods to shrink the circumference of problem areas with ultrasound and heat. Radio frequency and laser heats the area and causes the skin to tighten while ultrasound burst fat cells for release through the lymphatic system. The skin tightens and the muscles contract, and the person is left with a firmer and slimmer body than before.
Skin tightening and fat reduction are both safe and effective. They work, and both procedures have been in use for many years. Best of all, both options don't require surgery, and there's no downtime. Because there is no surgery involved all three of these procedures have little to no risk of complications.
