Take Your Figure to the Next Level with Body ContouringYou likely feel satisfied with the weight you have lost and the way your body has changed since you started taking diet and exercise more seriously. However, if you are like most people, you are still dealing with pockets of fat on your body that are resistant to diet and exercise. If this is a problem you are struggling with, we invite you to learn how you can take your figure to the next level with body contouring. What is Body Contouring? The first thing that you should know is that body contouring is not a weight loss tool. If you need to lose 20 pounds or more, it is better for you to look at weight loss programs, medical assisted weight loss, and/or even weight loss surgery. When a person uses a body contouring technique, it is unrealistic to think that they will lose a large amount of weight. The treatments and procedures that are designed to contour a person’s body remove specific pockets of fat. It helps to sculpt and shape the body in a way that will be more pleasing to the individual. One great example is helping a person to get rid of belly fat that does not respond to exercise and diet. No matter how many sit ups or core exercises that a person does and no matter how they restrict their diet, the fat in the abdominal area is just not going away. When treatments and procedures are used to sculpt this part of the body, a person is not likely to lose more than a couple of pounds. However, they will notice a dramatic change in their appearance. Their clothing will fit better, and they will feel much more confident. Surgical and Non-Surgical Options Most people are familiar with liposuction. This surgical procedure is designed to remove specific pockets of fat. It can be performed on many parts of the body. The procedure is done by making a small opening in the area where unwanted fat is located. A tube is inserted into the opening, breaking up the fat before sucking it out. This leaves a person with a shapelier appearance. There are a wide variety of non-surgical body contouring options that are available today. Some use intense cold, and others use heat. Some use lasers, radiofrequency energy, or ultrasound energy. While the method may vary, the goal is the same. The idea is to damage fat cells in a particular area without making anĀ opening in the body. Then the body naturally removes the damaged fat cells and leaves a person with a sculpted and slimmer appearance. Which Option is Right for You?
