Our aesthetician Megan is the fat removal expert at The Laser & Rejuvenation Center. She’s got some advice for you if you’re one of the millions who has a new year’s resolution to get rid of fat:
It’s the beginning of a new year, which means everyone’s mentality is to “get into shape.” Here at The Laser & Rejuvenation Center, we take pride in offering fat reduction treatments.
Most of you have heard of the CoolSculpting device that “freezes fat.” CoolSculpting is FDA approved to destroy fat cells through a process called cryolipolysis (crystalizing the fat cells). One great perk about this device is we can correctly contour each individual patient based upon their body structure and expectations. There is minimal down time with CoolSculpting, and patients generally start noticing a change in appearance in about 3 weeks. The most dramatic result with generally be around 1 to 3 months.
If you want to get rid of stubborn belly fat that can’t go away with diet and exercise, definitely consider UltraShape, which has no downtime. The Laser & Rejuvenation Center is the first practice in Tennessee and all the Mid South to have this device. We have the most experience using UltraShape than any practice in the area; we’ve even trained other doctors to use it! UltraShape has been FDA approved to disrupt and destroy fat cells in the abdominal area. UltraShape uses a mechanical pulsed ultrasound. Acoustic waves are distributed to the subcutaneous layer where fat is stored. During that process, the fat cells are disrupted and in return are completely destroyed. UltraShape is a perfect option if you’re wanting a pain-free option to reduce fat in that troublesome area.
Keep in mind that both procedures are 100% effective and safe. The ultimate decision for you and the provider doing the treatment will be based upon a thorough consultation. Both treatments are body contouring; we highly recommend combining either with skin-tightening treatments to increase your results. We offer two skin-tightening options that we do in conjunction with both of these procedures.
And remember: These treatments aren’t alternatives to eating well and exercising. They are meant to help in conjunction with diet and exercise, which we strongly encourage and recommend to see optimal result and to stay healthy in the new year.
