- Correction figures: options to fight obesity
- Lipolysis
In recent decades, the operation of correction became one of the most popular plastic surgeries. Although liposuction is a safe and effective method of reducing the amount of subcutaneous fat, giving a stable, predictable results, many patients do not like the idea of passing invasive surgery, which, in spite of all the modern technology, still involve certain risks to health. Fortunately, today there are non-surgical methods of correction, many of which are as effective as traditional liposuction.
Procedures such as liposuction, will give the best results if the patient is healthy, and his skin is sufficiently elastic. The best candidates for such procedures are the people with low and moderate localized deposits of fat that can not be removed by diet and sports. For people with more fat non-surgical methods of correction will be less effective, although in such cases, they give visible results.
It is imperative that the patient has realistic expectations regarding the correction. A specialist who will carry out the procedure, must first explain what results you can expect, and what to expect is not necessary. In addition, it should be noted that, like liposuction, non-surgical body shaping is not a panacea for overweight or obese.
Generally, such procedures are carried out without the use of anesthetics; In some cases, patients are given sedation or local anesthesia is used. During the procedure, the patient experiences minimal discomfort, and in the same day, he can go home and return to normal life. Complications are rare, and they usually pass quickly. Currently, there are many non-surgical correction, and constantly develop new - these services are increasingly in demand. We will talk about the most popular technologies used today correction.
Radiofrequency liposuction
This non-surgical technology uses radio frequency energy, which penetrates the skin without damaging its outer layers, reduces the amount of fat deposits and reduces cellulite, thereby improving the body contours. Radiofrequency energy is not only breaks down the fat cells, but also stimulates collagen production, and thus the skin becomes more supple and youthful.
Exposure to radio frequency energy provides a deep, controlled heating of the deposits of subcutaneous fat and accelerate blood circulation; it also increases the density of the connective tissue. The breakdown of fat cells enter the lymphatic system and eliminated in the urine.
The heat that generates radio-frequency energy causes microscopic changes in tissues and collagen fibers. One result of the procedure is that for several months collagen remodeling occurs.
Radiofrequency liposuction is especially effective for the removal of local fat deposits - usually on the abdomen, thighs and buttocks. After the procedure, become less noticeable aesthetic flaws such as cellulite and sagging skin.
There are devices for RFAL which allow it to combine with other technologies - it helps to more effectively solve several problems at the same time cosmetic. For example, radio frequency energy is used in combination with a laser, infrared, or patented Elos (electro synergy). The latter technique is a combination of bipolar RF energy, infrared radiation, and mechanical massage. This combination stimulates the burning of fat reserves deposited in the body and speeds up the lymph flow.
Depending on the procedure used for the device, the results can be noticeable the next day, although in some cases it is necessary to carry out some procedures to significantly improve the figure. The duration of each procedure - about one hour. The patient feels warm and sometimes - fever in the region to which exposure to RF energy. In most cases, the skin after the procedure is in normal condition, and the patient does not require recovery time. Although radiofrequency liposuction rarely causes side effects, some patients may be temporary swelling, redness and bruising. Typically, they completely disappear in a few days or weeks.
Finally, to assess the results of the procedure will be only a few months later, as it gives a cumulative effect. As a rule, patients notice gradual changes - for example, decrease in waist and hips, the slow disappearance of cellulite and improve skin condition. At the same time, and continue to change the contours of the body.
Ultrasonic body shaping
Technology ultrasound correction (also called ultrasonic liposuction) uses ultrasonic waves directed to the splitting of fat. Most often, this type of correction is used to eliminate fat on the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, sometimes - on the back and arms. The procedure will be especially effective if the patient is involved in sports, and eat a balanced, healthy diet.
Ultrasonic wave produced by short pulses - it allows you to destroy the fat cells without harming surrounding tissue, nerve fibers and blood vessels, and without damaging the skin's outer layers.
Each pulse destroys the cell membranes of the fat, so that as a result of the greater part destroyed located under the skin layer of adipose tissue. The content of fat cells, or triglycerides, is then dissipated enters the bloodstream and lymphatic system and finally naturally excreted.
Usually one treatment is sufficient to significantly reduce body fat in some parts of the body, although the results may vary depending on the input data. Final conclusions about the result of the procedure can be done about four weeks later, when the body will be removed all traces of fat cells.
Typically, during the procedure, the patient does not experience discomfort and side effects are rare. In rare cases such minor complications such as temporary redness and swelling. The patient does not need time to recover, but it is strongly recommended to play sports and eat right to maintain and improve the results of the ultrasonic correction.
