Non Surgical Body Contouring, Which Method Works Best?

Living in this contemporary society everybody seems to be striving for the perfect look or physique. Many tend to train using free weights or exercise equipment to develop their bodies into a work of art, while others seemingly bypass the workouts in searching for faster results. Surgical procedures have become big business nowadays, but tend to be very expensive. If you're the kind of person wanting a better, more shapely body and you don't want to sweat or go under the knife for it, there are other alternatives available for you.

Non-invasive surgical procedures are gaining steam and becoming more popular every day by the mass public. Body Contouring is a new rage and delivers on its promises for many people. You might ask yourself, what is body contouring? Well if you're needing to lose fat or excessive skin from problematic areas without having painful surgery, body contouring is just that.

This article is written to give you better insight for non-surgical procedures that will contour your body, in hopes of giving you the perfect physique. The methods described here are very common and have given people confidence and a more fulfilling life. Let's get started shall we.

  • I-Lipo Diode Lasers uses a diode laser which permeates deep into your skin down to the fat layers. The process is harmless and uses a noninvasive contouring applicator method. The procedure is very simple and doesn't require any needles, suction, or anesthesia, which is a plus for most of us. The permeating laser's effects somewhat mimic natural weight loss in human bodies by transforming triglycerides into natural metabolic energy. The body burns and flushes out the fat at more normal rate, which mimics weight loss. I-Lipo is very powerful and with the treatment gives you faster results with less down time.
  • Zerona (Lower Level Laser Technology) has been gaining ground recently among the competitors. The process (LLLT) will not damage or burn the skin in any way as it emulsifies fat cells. Unlike ultrasonic and thermal methods which help diminish your body's fat cells, Zerona (LLLT) scrambles and loosens the walls of each fat cell. This photochemical process causes the lipid contents of the cell walls to be reduced and even absorbed right back into the body. The process is very technical but effective for most. Multiple treatments are sufficient to get the job done and could potentially force your body to remove/shed at least 12 inches or more with absolutely no down time. If the buttocks, thighs, stomach, or abdomen regions are troubled areas, Zerona would be a great option.

*Most Common Areas/Parts for Body Contouring*

  1. Legs
  2. Thighs
  3. Tummy Tucks
  4. Mid-Section
  5. Butt Lift

These treatments and areas treated are some of the most popular cosmetic procedures in the world and have been for some time. Being a spot loss treatment, you can hit the hard to lose fat areas on your body very efficiently. For the ladies, it's usually in the hips and thigh areas, but men seem to carry their fat mostly in the stomach.

  • Velashape Radio-Frequency Waves, Infrared Energy uses a specific combination of Radio Frequency Bi-Polar Waves, vacuum massager, (ILE) Infrared Light Energy that goes in deeply into the fat chamber and shrinks fat cells. The process increases the metabolism by stimulating deep into the tissues. Fat deposits gets reduced from the increase in your metabolism. While this is going on, the vacuum applicator smooths out the skin's surface. Yes this is very technical and may be hard to understand, but you're getting knowledge of how the process works. This is a great alternative to liposuction, which goes in and sucks fat out. More or less this treatment compares to a deep tissue massage. There is also no down time and a minimum of four treatments is needed for the desired results.

Differences Between Liposuction & These Treatments

Liposuction is a cosmetic surgery but unlike Body Contouring Treatments, it directly goes in and sucks out fat from the body by small incisions. Lipo is still popular and effective, but there is some pain and discomfort lasting for about two weeks after the procedure is over. General anesthetics are used as well since this is surgery.

*Benefits Of Body Contouring*

Body Contouring gives you a very effective treatment without the high-risk and expense of most simple surgical procedures. (BC) machines are state-of-the-art and give the patient low risks such as:

  • Blood Clots
  • Bleeding Problems/Issues
  • Dangers and Risks From Anesthesia
  • Death

Medical Insurance doesn't cover most cosmetic surgeries as well and the expense is a bit overwhelming compared to the alternative. Body Contouring is usually thought of as the last step in getting the body of your dreams. You now have a better understanding of this popular treatment and how it can work for you if needed.
