Liposuction has always been known as the most instant way of losing body fat but the surgical procedure doesn’t always make sense for those looking to remove the smallest pockets of fat. Fortunately there are other ways to enjoy the benefits of nearly instant fat removal. These liposuction alternatives rely on both old and new technologies to manipulate and sculpt the body into the proportions desired. These are not miracle products and, as all procedures, do carry a certain amount of risk but can be perfect for those in particular cases.
Traditional liposuction is not an option for those who do not want to take on the risk of undergoing surgery nor is it particularly cheap. The reason these alternatives are affordable liposuction replacements have to do with the ease of the procedure as well as the small amount of fat to be removed. Liposuction can cost a lot after all the fees and charges from preparing for, during, and after the surgery.
Chemical Injection
Most popular alternative ways to removal body fat is by injection. This works by injecting a chemical into the area where the fat is to be removed. The chemical contains enzymes that breakdown the fat which is carried out of the body through the natural cleansing order.
LipoDissolve and Mesotherapy are two popular trade names employing the chemical injection method. Lipodissolve is popular in the United States for its fast recovery time. Meanwhile, mesotherapy is popular in South America and Europe and is also used to treat cellulite.
Thermage
Another non-surgical alternative is Thermage and is the least invasive way to remove body fat. Not only is it a non-surgical procedure but it doesn’t even require a needle like the injection techniques. Thermage simply uses a laser to heat the fat and literally melt it away. The heat also causes the collagen under the skin to contract resulting in tighter skin as a desirable side effect.
To learn more about any of these methods schedule a consultation session with your cosmetic surgeon.
