You're doing everything you can to trim your body down to a size that makes you happy. You fit exercise into your daily regimen. You make wise choices when it comes to what you eat. You get your beauty sleep and steer clear of unhealthy habits. That's all well and good, but you still have fat that is hanging on to your stomach, arms, thighs, and chin. You don't want to go through surgery to get a flatter tummy and better physique, so what do you do? Fortunately, you have several innovative options that are changing bodies every day: CoolSculpting®, Emsculpt Neo, and Kybella.
Freeze, Burn, or Dissolve Your Fat Away
CoolSculpting® is a technique that involves the application of a special device to the areas on your body where you have stubborn fat. Cooling technology freezes the fat cells in your body without causing any damage to the other tissues in your body. The treatment involves no downtime. The fat cells will eventually be flushed out of your body through natural processes, leaving behind a smoother, thinner figure.
Emsculpt Neo uses a different approach. Through electromagnetic pulses and radiofrequency, it creates tens of thousands of muscle contractions during a single session, reaching the equivalent of 20,000 sit-ups or squats. This forces muscle growth and in turn, melts fat. The addition of radiofrequency provides added heat to destroy fat cells and give you not only a thinner figure, but more tone and definition.
Kybella is the third option, injecting deoxycholic acid (the equivalent of stomach bile) into pockets of fat, particularly double chin. The acid safely and effectively dissolves and flushes out fat cells over time (about 6-8 weeks), leaving behind a noticeable reduction in submental fat and a more defined jawline.
Will the Results Last?
When you choose CoolSculpting®, you should gradually notice that your clothes fit you better than they did before after approximately 3 months. When you look in the mirror, you won't see those bulges anymore. Best of all, you won't have to go through any surgical procedures, crazy diet fads or extreme fitness plans that no one can sustain for too long. To make sure that you maintain your CoolSculpting® results, you will need to eat the right kind of foods and stay active.
Emsculpt Neo results are similar in that the fat reduction is permanent, but you'll still have to maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle in order to maintain the fat loss. Your muscle gain is not permanent, and it's recommended that you maintain your results with regular sessions about once a month along with some activity.
Kybella results are also permanent because the fat cells are permanently destroyed, however, if there are any leftover in the treated area, they could expand with weight gain. Like any surgical or non-surgical body contouring procedures, your lifestyle after treatment will determine whether or not your results remain as good as they are shortly after treatment.
Are You a Candidate?
To have CoolSculpting®, you should be at your goal weight or close to the weight that you want to be. If you have to lose weight, you should find a plan that works for you before you turn to this treatment. You will want to make sure that your body is stable and that you have reached a weight that satisfies you. Like with most body sculpting procedures, CoolSculpting is ideal for people who are already a healthy weight and just have pockets of stubborn fat that haven't budged with diet and exercise.
Emsculpt Neo is also ideal for people who are at or close to their goal weight with pockets of fat and areas that need help with toning. However, Emsculpt Neo cannot be performed on anyone with an IUD, pacemaker, or metal anywhere near the treated areas. Before getting Emsculpt Neo, your provider can discuss any contraindications with the treatment.
Kybella is generally safe for anyone with excess fat on their chin. Unless you have any known allergies to the ingredients in Kybella, you should be a candidate for the treatment.
