With spring just around the corner, a lot of people are already working on how to achieve their best beach bodies for summer. Although diets and exercise will definitely work, they take time (not to mention commitment) to achieve desired results; and with summer-like weather already making its 2019 debut, time is of the essence!
In addition, even with diet and exercise, pockets of stubborn fat can persist, especially in the thigh and belly areas. Maybe you’ve considered getting rid of them with liposuction or a tummy tuck but have put off seeking either treatment due to their invasive nature? If so, you’re definitely not alone. However, there’s a non-surgical alternative that’s just as effective at reducing fat, without the downtime or risk.
In this article, we will highlight how LIPOcel Body Contouring can help with removing those difficult pockets of fat, so that you can feel more comfortable and confident in a bikini this summer.
The latest, non-invasive treatment for permanent fat reduction and precision body sculpting, LIPOcel Body Contouring can target large areas of the body in a single treatment.
Using High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) technology, LIPOcel is designed to eliminate unwanted deposits of stubborn subcutaneous fat without any downtime or surgery. This safe and effective procedure delivers HIFU energy precisely 1.3cm deep under the skin, destroying fat cells, while the unique patented LIPOCel contact cooling system reduces the hand piece surface temperate down to just 5 degrees, making the treatment comfortable for the client.
The procedure is fairly straightforward, lasting no more than about 30 minutes from start to finish. After the localised area of fat is marked and a treatment grid is placed onto the treatment area, water is sprayed topically onto the skin. The LIPOcel hand piece is then systematically moved over the treatment area.
While the high temperature produced by the HIFU (between 65-100℃) raises the temperature of the subcutaneous fat cells to over 70℃ – effectively burning the cells – LIPOcel’s chill cartridge (5℃) cools the skin’s surface to increase the ultrasound’s energy transfer and ensure soreness is minimal.
LIPOcel Body Contouring can treat the following areas of the body:
While the number of treatments is generally determined by the amount of fat that needs to be removed and by the area being treated, most patients typically require between 1-3 sessions, spaced 6-12 weeks apart.
Because LIPOcel body contouring is non-invasive, it avoids the physical stress associated with traditional (surgical) body sculpting. This subsequently eliminates any post-surgery complications or concerns. It is safe and pain-free, yet still very effective.
Non-invasive body contouring means the body doesn’t have to work to repair all the incisions and abrasions associated with surgical operations which can leave patients in bed and out of work for weeks.
Although there can be some possible side-effects, including mild inflammation, pain, and redness – symptoms akin to a mild sunburn – these typically subside within a day or two.
You’ll be able to leave each session with absolutely no downtime or visible marks and can resume your daily activities straight away, with immediate results.
Because LIPOcel body contouring only targets fat cells, the accuracy is much higher than surgical solutions. The procedure breaks down the fat cells, which are naturally processed and removed by and from the body over time.
Apart from being a permanent fat reduction treatment, the procedure also works at tightening the skin. Results will continue to improve for up to 12 weeks; proper exercise and diet post-treatment will not only accelerate these results but will effectively help to maintain them.
Surgery is not for everyone; people with very sensitive immune systems or blood conditions may not be able undergo invasive surgical procedures, such as liposuction. However, non-surgical body contouring is accessible and safe for everyone and will work for all body types.
