Sometimes, diet and exercise aren’t enough to slim down in the way that we envision. Traditionally, liposuction was the only solution for people trying to lose the last few pounds of fat that can’t be exercised away. Now, there’s finally an alternative that’s not only cheaper than liposuction, but safer, too. Here are three reasons why fat freezing can do a better job than liposuction at blasting away fat.
1. Fat freezing is noninvasive
During a fat freezing treatment in Los Angeles CA, a cold panel is suctioned to the treatment area, such as the lower abdomen or thighs. This targeted exposure to extreme cold causes the fat cells to crystallize and die. The cells are eventually metabolized by the body, leaving a slimmer appearance. Because the treatment takes place on the surface of the skin, there’s no need for incisions or stitches. Also, there’s no need for anesthesia or needles, thanks to the natural numbing ability of extreme cold.
2. Fat freezing is convenient
Because fat freezing is noninvasive, patients don’t have to follow the pre-surgery steps that are typical of liposuction, such as fasting or adjusting meds. Receiving treatment is as easy as showing up at the appointment. Also, fat freezing has virtually no recovery time. Patients are free to walk out and drive home on their own after receiving their treatment.
3. Fat freezing is effective
Once the fat cells are frozen and flushed away, they’re gone for good. New fat cells shouldn’t appear as long as the patient maintains a healthy lifestyle. In the end, fat freezing provides the same results as liposuction without the invasiveness or the downtime.
For the best results, the patient should be an ideal candidate for fat freezing. Ideal candidates are close to their target weight and in overall good health.
