Methods used during body sculpting
Techniques used during body sculpting include:
- Laser Treatment: Measured heat is used to remove the fat layers. The heat is applied continuously until the fat cells begin to disintegrate. A system of cooling your skin is also maintained to avoid damaging the skin.
The standard laser treatment for body sculpting is SculpSure. This method is painless, although a bit of warmth is felt. SculpSure takes a short time of less than half an hour, with final results that can be observed after at least two months. The FDA approves this technique, and its effects are permanent so long as you do not add any extra weight.
- Cryolipolysis: This technique is also known as CoolSculpting. Crylipolysis depends on the use of intense cold conditions that break up fat cells and, as a result, decrease their amounts.
A cup-shaped apparatus is placed on your skin to reduce the fat cells. The device after that reduces the temperature resulting in freezing the fat cells and eventually getting rid of them. Cells from the muscles and skin are usually left unscathed since their freezing temperatures are much lower than those of the fat cells. The FDA approves CoolSculpting for patients that have no interest in changing the shape of their bodies. Each treatment decreases the fat by at least 20%, with results observed in at least two months.
- Red Light Therapy: This newer method uses a specially designed lamp that produces light of unique wavelengths that form breaches within the fat cells that discharge some of their constituents. The size of the fat cells drastically reduces, enhancing the loss of fats. The most common type of Red Light Therapy is UltraSlim. Ultraslim has little to no side effects and is performed at least three times.
