Many people, when they stand in front of a mirror, feel complex when seeing the curves that protrude next to their hips. The happy cartridge belts are an accumulation of fat that is retained next to the buttocks, being a problem that affects, above all, women.

Until not long ago, the only remedy that existed to eliminate them (and not in a satisfactory way in many cases) was to diet and a lot of physical exercise. But today, with the advancement of medicine, we are fortunate to have excellent treatments to get rid of them and show off a much slimmer and more attractive silhouette.

But the problem is not always a bad diet. Many studies assure that the accumulation of fat in this sector is due to genetic factors, hormonal influences, and genotypes of each person. Along these lines, women with a “triangle” figure are more likely to develop them.

Do you want to know how you can say goodbye to those pesky pencil cases? Here we explain what methods exist to start the “anti-cartridge belt” plan:

Cryolipolysis

This innovative method allows you to reduce the fat in your body through the cold. A specialized machine applies a very low temperature to the areas to be treated, an intense cold that reaches between 5 and -10 ºC; But do not worry that you will not suffer damage from frostbite, since the specialist covers the dermis with an antifreeze gel so that the cold acts only where it has to, on the adipocytes.

Cryolipolysis is not a surgical treatment, so you will not need to be hospitalized and local anesthesia is not applied. That is, it is an outpatient method, after performing cryolipolysis the patient goes home and can lead a normal life. With this technique, it is possible to destroy the accumulated fat in a natural and controlled way, although it is not a method with quick results.

It is necessary to carry out a minimum of two or three sessions for the results to be optimal, being these visible from the third month after starting the therapy. Each session lasts between 30 minutes and an hour.

Intralipotherapy

Intralipotherapy consists of a treatment that destroys accumulated fat through infiltrations (painless injections) of an aqueous and lipolytic substance, that is, a substance that destroys the membranes of adipose cells, converting that fat into less complex elements. In this way, the body gets rid of it through its metabolic process, naturally, through the lymphatic system.

With intralipotherapy, adipocytes do not regenerate again so this treatment has a permanent result. For the therapy to be effective, three to five sessions are needed, allowing at least a month to pass between sessions. Each session lasts approximately 15 minutes.

This treatment is outpatient, the patient does not need hospitalization and can lead a normal life from the moment the session ends. For the result to be excellent, it is necessary to complement the intralipotherapy with a compression bandage and a lymphatic drainage massage.

Coolsculpting

This method also uses the cold to destroy the fat cells but uses the vacuum pressure exerted by heads applied on the area of the cartridge belts. Its expulsion is also done naturally through the immune system.

Perhaps one of the highlights is that you can reduce up to 7mm of volume in the cartridge belt area, so the results, in addition to being durable, are surprising.

It is a painless treatment that does not require anesthesia or special care after it, so its advantages are many.

Cavitation

The cavitation technique uses a specialized machine that emits ultrasound whose waves implode, in a controlled way, only the cell membranes of the adipocytes (without damaging the rest of the tissues). In this way, the fat becomes more liquid and ends up being discharged through the urine.

But not all patients can benefit from cavitation, it can only be applied to people who do not have a very large volume of fat. It is also important that the patient has a healthy diet and does not lead a sedentary lifestyle and, above all, that he drinks a lot of water throughout the day to facilitate the elimination of fat.

This treatment is practiced on an outpatient basis and is painless, so the patient can immediately return to their routine activity with total normality. The results can be seen quickly, although the number of sessions to be performed has to be established by the specialist.

With these four methods, you can recover the figure that is hidden under those holsters without having to go through surgery. Do not always hesitate to consult a specialist for advice and to know which is the most appropriate technique for you. Do not think about it anymore and go prepare those clothes that you have not worn for a long time.

Not only in beauty and aesthetic centers we find the solution:

In our house, we can also apply some changes and habits that will help us to reduce unwanted cartridge belts.

We leave you some practical tips:

1.- Eliminate salt and other harmful substances from our meals: salt, as well as sugar, enhance the production of fat and fluid retention. It is important to maintain a balanced diet, rich in antioxidants. Add lots of fiber to your meals and significantly increase your water intake, to enhance the elimination of toxins from the body.

2.- Do not cross your legs for a long time: this action makes it profitable and prevents proper blood circulation, which could potentially cause cellulite, favoring the accumulation of adipose tissue and fluid retention.

3.- Use a silicone glove: Take advantage of the moment of the shower to work in the area of the holsters with the silicone glove and massage, to eliminate the accumulated liquid and favor the elimination of toxins.

4.- Do not spend more than 1 hour sitting: even if you work many hours in front of the computer, try to get up every 1 or two hours to walk around your office for a couple of minutes, this will favor the circulation of the lower body area, avoiding the formation of cellulite, varicose veins, and the unwanted cartridge belts.
