Work?

Introduction

• Lets face it even with the best fitness regimen
  and dietary plans, some parts of the body just
  seem to love the company of fat cells. The
  biggest culprit of all time is love handles.
  Getting rid of accumulated fat around the waist
  can be an uphill task for many people. You can
  jump rope all day long, drink 6 litters of detox
  drinks for months, and even go on week-long fasts
  and still have the ugly and irritating fatty buts
  sit sadly on your midriff.
• Thanks to advances in medical technologies,
  theres a solution to this predicament. For the
  longest time now, invasive body contouring
  treatments such as liposuction and abdominoplasty
  have been the only options on the table but with
  the introduction of non-invasive procedures,
  people are looking into safer methods of body
  contouring.
• Here, we have highlighted three affordable yet
  effective non-invasive body contouring methods
  you can consider to enhance your wellness,
  appearance and overall health.

How Do Non-Surgical Body Contouring Methods Work?

• Non-surgical, or non-invasive fat reduction
  treatments use different methods including heat,
  freezing, radiofrequency and laser to destroy
  pockets of fat from stubborn areas. The modern
  body contouring devices employed in these
  treatments dont need to penetrate the skin to do
  this hence the term, non-invasive. They are
  safe and have no downtime meaning you can
  literally book an appointment over lunch hour and
  be done before everyone goes back to their desks.
  Granted, these procedures only cater to a few
  bulges of fat rather than acting as complete
  weight loss alternatives but in all honesty, they
  offer tremendous results in the long run.
• Here are affordable non-invasive treatments that
  actually work

CoolSculpting

• CoolSculpting is one of the most effective
  non-invasive fat reduction treatments out there.
  It uses a cooling technology referred to as
  cryolipolysis to crystallize fat cells and get
  the body to initiate its own fat removal process.
  The procedure takes about one hour and has no
  downtime afterward.
• a. How Cryolipolysis Works
• Cryolipolysis, also known as fat freezing, is
  based on the statistic that adipocytes (fat
  cells) are more vulnerable compared to other
  cells of the body. When exposed to extremely low
  temperatures, they tend to undergo apoptosis
  which results in an inflammatory response and
  ultimately, the removal of phagocytes. In the
  end, the whole subcutaneous layer will undergo a
  volume reduction and restructuring as a result of
  the inflammatory response.

6

• The devices used in CoolSculpting are quite the
  number in the market today. The freezing is often
  combined with a vacuum mechanism for effective
  results. During the treatment, a medical
  practitioner will position a hand-held applicator
  on your belly, love handles or muffin tops then
  applies some vacuum on it. Any bulges of fat are
  held between two metal plate that applies low
  temperatures on just the fat cells and not the
  surrounding tissue. Once the fat cells have been
  destroyed, they will die over the next few weeks
  after which the bodys lymphatic system will help
  eliminate from the body through urine. Whats
  left behind is a reduced mass of fat around the
  treated area.

7

• b. How Long Does It Take To See Changes?
• The actual reduction of fat is typically up to
  the bodys natural mechanism and this takes some
  time. Expect to see noticeable changes within a
  period of 2-4 months from the first procedure.
  Most patients need more than one treatment to
  achieve greater heights of success with
  CoolSculpting.
• c. Who Are The Perfect Candidates For The
  Procedure?
• CoolSculpting is a perfect option for individuals
  who have protruded fatty bits that they can grasp
  beyond a 1 pinch test. Often, the method is used
  to treat thighs but can also be applied to the
  lower abdomen and flanks.

8

• d. Side Effects
• These are minimal considering the procedure is
  non-invasive. Expect some redness, swelling and
  nerve pain here and there post- procedure which
  clears in no time. In rare cases, patients can
  develop lumps caused byextreme temperatures or
  indentations caused by the edges of the vacuum
  applicator.
• Average cost per session 2,000 - 4,000 per
  session (might require more than one session)

9
VShape Ultra

• V shape body contouring is a pain-free and
  non-invasive skin-tightening procedure that often
  targets the rebellious areas the buttocks,
  face, hips, arms, abdomen, chin/neck, and
  abdomen. Perfect for adults and liposuction
  patients, this treatment helps contour and smooth
  loose, dimpled, and wrinkled skin. In addition,
  it can actually help flatten your belly and hips
  after a major weight loss plan or a host of
  age-related skin sagging issues.
• a. How It Works
• With age comes all sorts of skin problems. This
  is because, over time, the human body produces
  less collagen and stores more fat subsequently
  leading to the creation of sagging skin, wrinkles
  and cellulite. vShape Ultra combines ultrasound
  and radiofrequency heat energy to give the body
  the needed boost to produce more collagen and
  also destroy fat cells.

10

• The Ultrasound energy aims at breaking down fats
  cells without causing any harm to the surrounding
  tissue. Once the fat cells have been flushed out
  through the lymphatic system, focused
  radiofrequency energy is then applied to
  stimulate the production of collagen in the
  dermis. This step results in smooth, tight skin.
  The beauty with the treatment is that the heat
  from the FT energy penetrates the skins deep
  layer without affecting the epidermis meaning the
  outer skin will not be marred.
• Once the skin has been cooled, the outcome is
  nothing but a rejuvenated, refreshed, and firm
  skin. For the next 4-6 months, the patient will
  need to be booked for a series of procedures to
  help the body produce collagen and improve the
  appearance of stretch marks, wrinkles, and
  sagging skin. Apart from tightening the skin, the
  treatment also reshapes, massages and smooths the
  skin to enhance its aesthetics substantially.

11

• b. Are The Changes Permanent?
• Most patients continue seeing the effects of
  vShape Ultra for a period of 1-3 years depending
  on the patient in question. To prolong the
  effects, patients are advised to have the
  procedure done intermittently.
• c. Does It Have Any Side Effects?
• vShape treatments are fast and easy. Since there
  is no bruising or laceration of the skin, theres
  absolutely no need of an anesthetic. Most
  patients find the procedure quite comfortable and
  love the fact that there is zero downtime. Some
  common side effects post procedure include
  redness and subtle irritations particularly on
  areas with thick skin. Doctors often recommend
  staying away from the sun for a few days after
  the treatment to avoid further discomfort.
• Average cost 1,000 - 4,500 (depending on
  number of treatments and location)

12
Trusculpt

• Trusculpt is an FDA-approved, non-invasive body
  contouring treatment that deserves a special
  mention here because it is both affordable and
  effective. People who dont qualify for
  CoolSculpting either because they have too small
  or too large fat pockets often find Trusculpt as
  the best option. This treatment targets isolated
  fat cells in certain areas such as thigs, love
  handles, upper arms, knees, buttocks, and
  abdomen.
• a. How Does It Work?
• TruSculpt uses radiofrequency energy to apply
  controlled heat within the deep layers of the
  skin and fat layers. The aim of the treatment is
  to reach certain high temperatures that damage
  the fat cells within the adipose tissue.

13

• During the procedure, a medical provider will
  glide the truSculpt applicator over the surface
  of your skin. You will not feel anything at all
  except for a warm sensation on the targeted area
  when the temperatures soar. The new Trusculpt 3D
  technology is the most effective and takes a
  relatively shorter time to achieve great results.
  
• One session typically lasts 60 minutes which have
  been broken down into 4 treatment cycles of 15
  minutes each. Since there is no downtime, you can
  jump back to your normal activities as soon as
  the procedure is over.

14

• b. How Long Does It Take For The Changes To
  Become Visible?
• The results will be visible within 6 weeks 3
  months after the first procedure depending on the
  size of the treatment area and just the way your
  body responds to the treatment.
• On average, you will notice you are inching on
  the slimmer side after the second treatment. You
  will also observe tighter skin with less dimpling
  just as fast. The beauty with the treatment is
  that the effects are quite long-lasting and
  sometimes, actually permanent.

15

• c. Side Effects
• Apart from warm sensations during the procedure
  (which can be adjusted by the medical
  practitioner), some patients may experience
  redness and swelling around the affected area for
  a few hours after the procedure. As you might
  have guessed it, this goes away before you know
  it.
• Average cost 2,000 - 3,000 per session
• Non-invasive body contouring treatments have
  reshaped the industry and given many (especially
  women) a chance at their dream bodies. If you
  have insecurities within your own skin,
  especially stubborn fat and wrinkle and
  unattractive skin, give the aforementioned
  treatments a try. Obviously, have a talk with
  your doctor prior to the procedure and ask as
  many questions as possible. Additionally, take
  care of your body afterward eat right and
  exercise. This is the only way you will see
  long-lasting results with non-invasive
  treatments.
