BODY SCULP/LASER LIPO:
WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM BIOSTIMULATION TREATMENTS?
Let’s face it – The vast majority of us could stand to lose even a little stubborn fat! Whether you have a genetic predisposition for an obstinate fat deposit, which is usually the lower abdomen and inner thighs for women and the love handles for men, or are just looking for additional help with your workouts and health/fitness journey then BodySCULP is for you. What is BodySculp – The short answer is- laser lipo! It is a laser based, noninvasive, nonsurgical cosmetic body procedure that is used to target, reduce, and permanently eliminate fat. It works for both men and women and on a variety of body types and body regions.
THE PROCESS
This laser lipo is a type of lipolysis. Lipolysis is a fat-eliminating process. BodySculp uses laser technology to permanently “melt” fat cells away.
BodySculp includes 4-treatment applicators that connect to a hands-free laser belt. The applicators dissipate a 1060nm laser wavelength of energy to heat up, destroy, and eliminate fat cells. The BodySculp is FDA cleared for noninvasive lipolysis. Multiple areas can be treated such as the chin, “bra fat”, upper and lower abdominal areas, flanks (love handles), thighs, etc.
BodySculp is not a weight loss treatment and is not a single option for people with obesity. However it can help anyone burn stubborn fat areas, start or finish the fat loss journey. The procedure requires no incisions or anesthesia. However, the patient may experience some minimal discomfort. A procedure takes approximately 25-40 minutes and can target up to 4 areas at once and there is little to no recovery time. Thus, it is considered a lunchtime procedure. The first BodySculp consultation may take place right before the treatment.
We are prepared to discuss the patient’s thorough medical history and perform a physical exam. The temperature of the laser energy will kill fat cells underneath the skin while leaving other tissues unharmed. This is unlike Cool Sculpting which does not discriminate and can harm surrounding tissues and nerves. Cool sculpting also takes more treatments and is more expensive. The BodySculp device alternates between delivering a cooling effect and the laser heat. Each treatment takes about 25 minutes plus prep time with the appointments generally taking about 35 to 45 minutes.
Over the next few weeks after the procedure, the patient’s lymphatic system naturally flushes out the eliminated fat cells. Additional treatments should be scheduled 4-6 weeks apart.
Q&A
How can I avoid Bruising? To minimize the chance of bruising, the patient should avoid blood thinners and anti-inflammatories a few days before a BodySculp treatment.
Are there any risks or side effects? The heating phases during treatment which may cause some minor discomfort. However, a numbing agent or anesthesia can be used but is not necessary. We also offer nitrous oxide or laughing gas for any anxiety or discomfort in addition to a zimmer chiller (highly effective cooling device).
What can I except after treatment? After treatment, the patient may experience some mild soreness, redness, and swelling. While rare, the patient may also experience bruising in the treated areas. The patient may want to massage the areas during the next week or two after the procedure.
How quickly will I see results? As your body metabolizes the eliminated fat cells, fat reduction may be noticeable as quickly as 24 hours or up to three weeks after one treatment. On average, one session should result in a 24 percent reduction of fat in the treated area. Full results are normally seen 12 weeks after the last treatment. Because the cells eliminated during the procedure are destroyed with the laser, these cells will not regenerate. Desired fat reduction should be maintained through healthy diet and exercise. More than pounds you will notice reduction in inches and pant sizes! Contraindicated for pregnant or breast-feeding women.
