There are several options for patients who are considering some type of body contouring procedure but do not want to undergo something as dramatic as plastic surgery. Many of these non surgical liposuction alternatives offer the same instant fat reduction results on a very small scale which makes it perfect for detailing small areas of the body. Popular methods include the use of a chemical injection to dissolve the fat in the area. Other techniques use ultrasound to cause the fat cells to burst without touching it or making any penetrations to the skin.
These alternatives offer minimally invasive solutions for patients who want something small and quick but produce major results. Many of these treatments are used for small or delicate areas such as those surrounding bony parts of the body. The side effects commonly associated with liposuction surgery do not apply to these alternatives and the faster recovery with low levels of pain after treatment is something that many people appreciate.
When it comes to chemical injections, Mesotherapy treatment is the popular treatment in Europe and most of South America. It offers solutions to other problems as well such as cellulite reduction and skin rejuvenation. Lipodissolve is the treatment popularized in the United States for the quick recovery it offers patients. It is a great way for those looking to remove a small amount of fat and is often used to treat facial areas.
Even less invasive than the needle injection methods are ultrasonic and thermal treatments. One uses sound waves to target fat cells while Thermage is the trade name of the technique that uses a laser to general heat which is passed through the outer layer of the skin to literally melt fat cells underneath. The fat is then left to be removed naturally by the body’s waste elimination process so there is absolutely no means of penetrating the skin.
