While regular exercise and diet can help in weight loss, often it is difficult to lose the excess fat in some areas of the body. This is because of the fat cells in that part of the body which are not lost despite exercising. Earlier liposuction was considered to be the only way to get rid of the excess fat. However, since it is a surgical procedure there were many risks involved and the time taken for recovery is also longer. Hence increasingly people who wish to get rid of excess fat are opting for bodysculpting, which is a non invasive procedure, comparatively painless and is also completed faster.
There are three different options for getting rid of the fat for body sculpting or body contouring
– heating the fat cells using lasers
– freezing the fat cells
– using chemical methods
Using lasers to heat and destroy the fat cells is the more popular way to do get rid of the excess fat. The laser will not heat the skin surface or cause pain, only the fat cells will be heated and destroyed. These dead fat cells are then eliminated from the body. Using lasers is the most popular method for body sculpting, since the time taken for getting rid of the excess fat is usually less than one hour. Only one part of the body is treated for removing excess fat at a time.
Freezing the fat cells is another body sculpting method which is popular since the frozen fat cells will die naturally if the temperatures are low for a longer period of time.The body will get rid of these dead fat cells in the way it gets rid of other dead cells. For using this method, the application is applied to the area where the fat has to be removed, and it will directly freeze the fat cells. This method is used to get rid of the fat on the thighs, waist and abdomen.
