Many people are not satisfied with the accumulation of fat in their bodies, either in the abdomen or in the legs. The first solution offered by experts is to resort to physical activity and a diet to reduce this excess fat. However, these two solutions do not always work, which is why more and more patients are turning to fat reduction methods based on medical intervention.

However, not all patients can take the step to enter the operating room to reduce the fat accumulated in their bodies. But thanks to technology and medical advances today, it is possible to face this type of treatment without the need for surgery.

For the reduction of body fat, three techniques are used frequently and between which the patient and the doctor must choose when performing the intervention. Below we want to tell you a little more about each of them and explain what they consist of, what their advantages are, and in which cases it is recommended to apply them. These three techniques are lipo laser, cytolysis, and hydrolipoclasia.

The lipolaser technique

Through the lipo laser technique, irregularities such as cellulite can be corrected and excess fat located in areas of the body such as love handles, double chin, or cartridge belts can be reduced. For this, a high-precision laser with different wavelengths is used. This laser stimulates the fat cell to generate lysozyme, an enzyme that converts the fat cell into essential fatty acids.

These essential fatty acids will reach the blood and the body will use them as energy for the muscles. That is why after the treatment it is recommended to activate the body through physical exercise or electrostimulation.

One of the great advantages that this technique offers us is that in addition to reducing the amount of fat in the body, it generates taut and stretched skin, which also considerably reduces wrinkles. This occurs thanks to the fact that one of the functions of the laser is to coagulate the vessels of the adipose tissue and stimulate the generation of collagen.

The main point in favor of this technique is that it is a non-painful and non-invasive method that does not leave marks on the body after the intervention. The results are seen progressively in each session (the recommended is a weekly up to a total of between four and six weeks). Another great point in favor is that the treatment can be applied to any area of the body and generates a greater firmness in the skin. Its results are definitive if the patient can maintain their weight after the intervention.

The lipo laser technique is recommended when there is generalized excess fat in the abdomen, double chin, legs, or arms. Also when you want to tone the skin of any of these parts. This is an ideal technique for people who have time to undergo a weekly session and for people who do not want needle treatments (although in some cases a compound of adrenaline and anesthesia can be injected to prevent bleeding).

Cryopolysis

The criopólisis, equal to other treatments such as cryotherapy, is based on the use of the cold, in this case, to reduce body fat. The easiest way to explain this technique is by saying that using an advanced technology machine the body’s fat cell is exposed to a very low temperature. The resistance of the fat cell to cold is much lower than that of the skin. Once the body fat is frozen, it dies and the body gradually absorbs it.

Many patients wonder if the treatment can be bothersome because of the cold. The answer is no. Before applying the cold to the body, the doctor will place a protective membrane to avoid the sensation of frostbite on the skin. The cryopolysis technique can be applied anywhere on the body, although one of the areas for which this treatment is most used is the abdomen.

As it is the body itself that is responsible for absorbing the frozen fat, the results will begin to be appreciated little by little. Depending on the person, the treatment may take between two and four months to be effective.

One of the main advantages of this technique is that once the fat is frozen, it takes longer for the body to generate it again. What’s more, the results are appreciable forever if the patient does not gain more than four kilos. This technique is ideal if the patient has little time since it only requires one session every two months.

Fat reduction through hydrolipoclasia

The hidrolipoclasia is a complex but effective treatment in which the body itself has a very important role when it comes to removing excess fat. This technique, also known as liposuction without surgery, consists of breaking the cells so that they release the fat that is inside them. The fat released will be metabolized through the liver, so it is the human body itself that eliminates it (something similar to what happened with the cryopolysis treatment).

Treatment consists of a couple of simple steps. First, physiological saline is injected into the body. This serum will swell the fat cells like a balloon to break them. To facilitate this breakdown and the release of fat from inside the cells, ultrasound treatment can be applied. When these cells are already broken, the next step is to apply lymphatic drainage to completely release the fat that the cell contained. Then the liver will expel it from the body.

The main advantage of this technique is that results very similar to liposuction are achieved without the need to go through the operating room and it has a lower economic cost. Another plus point is that once the fat cell has been broken, it is difficult for the fat to accumulate inside it again.

Experts recommend that when this treatment is applied, low-fat diets be followed since the body has a lot of fat inside after it is expelled by the cells.
