Non-invasive liposuction is an innovative method that uses a specific ultrasound device to eliminate localized fat and cellulite. It is non-invasive because procedures considered invasive, such as needles, are not used, nor is it surgery. In fact, non-invasive liposuction refers to the aesthetic treatment called lipocavitation, which can be carried out in aesthetic treatment clinics by a qualified professional such as a dermatologist or physiotherapist specializing in functional dermatology.
Lipocavitation, as it should be called, is a procedure that does not cause pain or discomfort and can be performed weekly, for 7-20 sessions depending on how many areas you want to treat and the amount of fat you want to eliminate. This type of aesthetic treatment is especially recommended for those who are within the right weight, or very close to the ideal, but have localized fat.
The results can be seen in the first treatment session, but it is progressive.
How non-invasive liposuction is performed
Before carrying out the procedure, it is necessary to carry out a thorough body assessment, marking out all the areas that will be treated. Then the therapist must apply a gel and then begin the treatment, moving the ultrasound in circular movements throughout the treatment time, which can vary from 30-45 minutes per region. For the procedure to be carried out achieving excellent results, it is necessary to fold the fat and then slide the equipment over it. This type of treatment has no health risks, does not increase cholesterol, nor can it cause burns.
Non-invasive liposuction can be performed on practically all areas of the body that accumulate fat, such as the abdominal region, flanks, thighs, buttocks, arms, legs and bra line. However, it cannot be performed in the area close to the eyes and breasts.
When can I see the final result?
The result is visible right after the first treatment, where you can notice a reduction of 3-5 cm, however the result becomes increasingly visible the more treatments you carry out, therefore, the final result is only achieved after all the sessions.
This technique breaks the membrane of adipocytes, which are the cells that store fat, and this is eliminated naturally by the body, through the lymphatic system. The mobilized fat does not enter the bloodstream, so there is no risk of increased cholesterol and the accumulation of atheroma plaques inside the arteries.
How many sessions to do
Between 8 and 10 lipocavitation sessions are recommended, which can be performed 1-2 times a week. Typically each session lasts between 30-45 minutes depending on the location and amount of fat deposited.
How to enhance results
To complete this treatment, it is necessary to undergo a session of manual lymphatic drainage or pressotherapy, and practice some moderate to high intensity exercise, up to 48 hours after the procedure. This way, the body can use up the fat that was removed from the fold, without it being installed again.
It is also necessary to drink 2 liters of water or green tea, without sugar or sweetener, throughout the day, in addition to having a healthy diet, free of fat and sugar.
