Focused ultrasound destroys fat cells with targeted heat; over time, the body eliminates the damaged fat cells to shrink the unwanted bulge and improves the look of the area. To date, over 500,000 people around the world have been treated with these technologies with results to prove they work. Since there is no cutting of the skin with either cryolipolysis or focused ultrasound, recovery time is minimal.The effects of body contouring treatments can take a few weeks to show, depending on the method used. It can be several months before the full effects are seen as it takes the body some time to remove the treated fat cells. Some techniques, such as fat dissolving injections, may require multiple treatment sessions to achieve the best results. Body contouring techniques are very safe and they can provide excellent results without the need for surgery. You may experience a small amount of discomfort during the treatment and there could be some redness, swelling or numbness afterwards. However, these side effects will only be temporary and there won’t be any downtime for recovery.
When there is so much emphasis placed on good health and fitness, it is only natural for people to find better ways to burn excess fat and get into their ideal body shape. One such procedure gaining wide acceptance is laser treatment for weight loss. This fat reduction laser treatment offers a non-invasive approach to burning the unwanted cellulite, and offering individuals a healthy and toned body.
Simply put, patients who seek non-surgical body contouring avoid exposure to anesthetic and the knife removing a significant risk that everyone faces on the operating table. There are different types of body contouring that include ultrasonic cavitation around the thighs and midsection, VelaShape III, and UltraShape Power. Fat cells are broken down through non-invasive procedures that destroys fat cells without damaging surrounding tissues, nerves and blood vessels. Body contouring can be that exciting final milestone to end your weight loss journey.
The treatment’s high temperatures can cause the fat cells to die. The body’s lymphatic system gets rid of the dead fat cells within the period of approximately 12 weeks after the procedure. Each treatment takes approximately 25 minutes. Typically, there is little to no downtime. Multiple treatments are usually required. UltraShape and BTL Vanquish ME are nonsurgical, FDA-cleared procedures that use ultrasound technology to contour the body. In general, ultrasound technology is very gentle to the skin when treating stubborn pockets of fat. It involves very little to no discomfort.
Widely known for its efficacy in minimizing facial lines and wrinkles, BOTOX® can also be a great solution for individuals suffering from excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) in the underarms, hands, and/or feet. Administered right here in our office, BOTOX® injections work to block nerve signals from stimulating sweat glands in the targeted treatment area(s), temporarily preventing the production of perspiration.
It can reduce localised stubborn areas of fat such as the ‘love handles’, ‘saddle bags’ and double chin while reducing the risks commonly associated with traditional liposuction techniques. During the procedure a fibre-optic probe is inserted under the skin which delivers low-level laser energy to selectively break up fat cells. The fat ‘melts’ and is subsequently absorbed and eliminated by the body naturally. The laser energy also helps to stimulate the production of collagen which promotes skin tightening.
