No matter how much you exercise or how healthy you eat, you may have areas of fatty deposits around the body, such as love handles or bingo wings. Body contouring is designed to get rid of these, and it does it without the need for surgery.
But the more you know about body contouring and other skin tightening procedures, the better you’ll be able to make an informed decision as to what’s best for your body.
Losing Fat Vs Losing Weight
Fat freezing treatments have become exceptionally popular over the past few years. An effective way to tone the body, these types of treatments can be a great confidence boost for those that have any stubborn deposits of fat that simply won’t budge.
This is not a form of weight loss, but rather a fat reduction treatment. It is all about what happens to the fat cells. It may be confusing to comprehend that losing fat and losing weight is not the same thing, but hopefully this post will explain everything clearly.
The amount of cells of fat we have in our bodies tends to become a fixed number during our teenage years. When a person loses weight, their cells of fat will reduce in size, yet they do not disappear entirely. The size of your fat cells is what changes.
However, with skin tightening procedures, fat cells are eliminated from your body. In fact, fat cells are reduced by about 20 – 25 per cent in the treated area. They cells won’t migrate to another part of your body, as they are naturally eliminated and processed during CoolSculpting treatment and treatments like this.
When you lose weight, the number of fat cells you have remains the same. The fat cells get bigger when weight is gained, or they get smaller after dieting and weight loss.
What Should You Look For?
In order to experience all of the benefits associated with a treatment like this, you need to choose with care. So, what should you be looking for?
First, you need to look at the type of body contouring that is being offered by the clinic. There are a few non-invasive body contouring treatments available, so ask the doctor which one may be right for you. CoolSculpting is one of the most popular. It eliminates fat through the use of controlled cooling.
Actress Molly Sims openly talks about her CoolSculpting experience and the pressures to bounce back after pregnancy.
When looking for the best body contouring surgeons, make sure they have underwent the necessary in-depth training for this type of body contouring and that they have achieved their certification. {You don’t want to go to someone who was just trained yesterday, right?}
Not only this, but it is a good idea to read reviews that have been left by past clients too, so you can see what they thought of the treatment. If you come across a lot of negative comments, you know that you need to look elsewhere.
Also, ask your friends, as one or two of them may have had the treatment or know someone who has had treatments. It’s always a good idea to talk to someone who has actually gone through with the treatment. And don’t forget to check out YouTube, because some people are ready and willing to share their experiences {both the good and the bad}.
All things considered, there is no denying the popularity of these treatments today. Nevertheless, you are going to need to choose with care, so make sure you take the time to select the right clinic for you. Do not rush into the decision!
Have you every had CoolSculpting or any other type of non-invasive body contouring treatment? If so, I’d love to hear about your experience.
