As we age, it can become more and more difficult to get rid of stubborn belly bulges or love handles that just don\u2019t seem to go away despite our best efforts through diet and exercise. Even after many people have celebrated meeting their weight loss goals, they still find that they have areas of sagging skin or pockets of fat that just won\u2019t go away. Because of this, liposuction procedures are actually very common, and new technology for body contouring is making those procedures even simpler and smoother.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Body contouring can refer to a number of different procedures, all centered around the idea of using minimally invasive techniques to remove unwanted fat cells and tighten sagging skin that would otherwise be very difficult or impossible to get rid of. Body contouring is often thought of as the final step in a weight loss program, and can also be a good option for women who have experienced a pregnancy. At<\/span> Acqua Blu Medical Spa<\/span><\/a> we offer<\/span> CoolSculpting<\/span><\/a> and<\/span> Sciton ProLipo Plus<\/span><\/a> to suit the needs of Pittsburgh men and women looking to add those finishing touches to their look.<\/span><\/p>\n Generally speaking, the ideal candidate for liposuction procedures is a relatively healthy individual who is very close to his or her target weight. It\u2019s important to keep in mind that liposuction isn\u2019t meant to act as a weight loss tool. Instead, it\u2019s best used to fine-tune your weight loss achievements by tightening sagging skin and removing any small pockets of fat that you can\u2019t seem to get rid of, even with regular exercise. Thus, a good liposuction candidate should be able to maintain realistic expectations about his or her results. (<\/span>Medical News Today<\/span><\/i><\/a>,<\/span><\/i> American Society of Plastic Surgeons<\/span><\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n CoolSculpting<\/span><\/a> is a nonsurgical procedure that has been growing in popularity since it became the first and only FDA-cleared procedure to use controlled cooling to safely target and eliminate fat. Dr. Neil Sadick, a professor at Weill Cornell Medical College in New York, has referred to the procedure as having \u201cthe most proven technology\u201d for treating problem areas like the thighs, stomach, and love handles.<\/span><\/p>\n CoolSculpting<\/span><\/a> works by actually freezing the fat cells in the targeted area, which will then be naturally eliminated from the body. The results, which can take 6 to 12 weeks to fully develop, will be seen as inches off of your waistline or thighs. As Dr. Sadick explains, the best results typically occur with only one<\/span> CoolSculpting<\/span><\/a> session, though additional sessions may be needed depending on your specific needs.<\/span><\/p>\n And the best part about it? Since it\u2019s a nonsurgical procedure, you don\u2019t have to worry about scheduling any downtime afterwards. You can expect to be back to your regular routine immediately afterward. (<\/span>CBS News<\/span><\/i><\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n Another minimally invasive body sculpting technique that has become increasingly popular is the<\/span> Sciton ProLipo Plus<\/span><\/a>. Because this procedure employs high-powered lasers to melt away unwanted fat, it can offer surgeons a wide range of flexibility. What this means for you?<\/span> Sciton ProLipo Plus<\/span><\/a> is very customizable, so you can be sure to get the results you want.<\/span><\/p>\n Much like<\/span> CoolSculpting<\/span><\/a>,<\/span> Sciton ProLipo Plus<\/span><\/a> is generally used to get rid of stubborn fat. But unlike<\/span> CoolSculpting<\/span><\/a>, it can also tighten sagging skin, making it a great option for those who\u2019ve lost a significant amount of weight and are looking to give their body a finishing touch. Although the recovery time is slightly longer than that following<\/span> CoolSculpting<\/span><\/a>, you can still expect to be back to work and your normal routine within a few days after your<\/span> ProLipo Plus<\/span><\/a> session.
