Non-Invasive Fat Removal Procedures
In the past, removing even the slightest amount of fat from the body required surgeries with unsightly scarring and extensive recovery periods. Technological advancements have now made it possible to remove fat non-surgically, with minimal to no downtime afterward. These treatments typically offer noticeable results in as little as a few days or weeks.
What Is the Best Non-Invasive Fat Removal Treatment?
Read below to learn about the best non-invasive fat removal treatment options available at Advanced Dermatology, P.C., Center for Laser and Cosmetic Surgery.
CoolSculpting
CoolSculpting is an innovative and FDA-approved non-surgical fat removal treatment that eliminates fat cells by freezing them.
Since fat cells are more sensitive to cold temperatures than skin—only fat cells are destroyed during this process, leaving other tissues undamaged. After these fat cells are targeted and frozen, they dissolve over a few months.
Coolsculpting is not for removing large amounts of fat but for diminishing stubborn bulges that resist your best efforts to remove them with diet and exercise.
CoolSculpting treatment sessions typically last an hour, and results are noticeable after the first treatment. Additional treatment sessions may be necessary depending on the areas treated and the expected results.
Zerona
Zerona is another unique option for non-invasive fat removal, particularly around the abdomen, hips, and thighs. This treatment positions a cold laser over the body to freeze fat cells and prepare them for natural elimination from the body.
Zerona treatment sessions are quick and painless, lasting about 40 minutes. Results are noticeable results after a few sessions. Four to six treatment sessions are usually recommended for the best results.
Liposonix
Liposonix is an FDA-approved fat-removing procedure that uses high-intensity ultrasound technology to permanently eliminate fat from the waistline. This procedure directly targets subcutaneous fat cells and leaves the skin tissue undamaged.
Liposonix treatment sessions last between 30 and 60 minutes and have been shown to reduce the waistline by an average of about one pant or dress size after a single one-hour session.
Thermage CPT
Thermage CPT (Comfort Pulse Technology) is a radiofrequency technology not designed for fat removal but for improving the appearance of skin by reducing wrinkles, leaving it sleeker and smoother.
It is non-invasive, the treatments are relatively quick, and there is no downtime, which makes it fit in with these other technologies.
If fat reduction has left you with sagging skin or wrinkles, Thermage CPT may be able to help. This treatment can diminish wrinkles from old age and environmental damage and tone bulges and dimples. It works on all three layers of the skin to stimulate collagen production and renew the skin’s appearance.
ThermiRF
ThermiRF is a non-invasive fat reduction treatment that removes excess fat and tightens loose skin. Temperature adjustment using ThermiRF is based much more specifically on each patient’s particular area of concern. The heat generated by a cannula inserted underneath the skin both melts fat and stimulates collagen production.
Skin laxity, which often occurs after fat removal, is reduced using a thermal camera that allows optimal temperatures for skin tightness to be determined.
