What Is a Fat Reduction Treatment?
Fat reduction treatments involve methods to decrease localized fat deposits that persist despite diet and exercise. These services employ various techniques that target and reduce fat cells in specific areas, leading to a more sculpted body contour. We offer several different treatments to help reduce fat in both smaller and larger areas.
Our Fat Reduction Treatments
CoolSculpting®
CoolSculpting is a fat reduction method that uses cooling technology to eliminate stubborn fat cells. This technique treats pinchable fat by freezing and destroying these cells. Once treated, the body naturally processes and removes the dead cells, leading to a smoother, more contoured body silhouette.
How Does CoolSculpting Reduce Fat?
CoolSculpting works by applying cold temperatures directly to fat-prone areas, a process scientifically known as cryolipolysis. Because they have a higher freezing point than other tissues, the fat cells crystallize and break down, but the skin and other tissues are not affected. Our fat reduction services include a comprehensive evaluation to determine the optimal approach for each individual’s body type.
Why Choose CoolSculpting?
This type of fat reduction treatment means opting for a non-surgical approach to shaping the body. It is particularly suited for individuals looking for something that doesn’t have downtime. With CoolSculpting, the results are long-lasting and are gradual and natural-looking.
CoolSculpting Treatment Areas
CoolSculpting is versatile and offers non-invasive fat reduction in various areas that commonly accumulate excess fat. These include the abdomen, thighs, flanks, and under the chin. Each area can be specifically targeted with CoolSculpting, and multiple areas can be treated during one appointment.
Kybella®
Kybella is an injectable solution designed for reducing fat beneath the chin, specifically treating the area often referred to as a double chin. It contains synthetic deoxycholic acid, which mimics a naturally occurring body molecule that helps break down and absorb dietary fat. With multiple treatments, Kybella effectively decreases the prominence of under-chin fullness.
How Does Kybella Reduce Fat?
This type of non-invasive fat reduction uses the deoxycholic acid to dissolve fat cells at the site of injection. Over a series of treatments, these fat cells are permanently destroyed and subsequently cleared by the natural processes of the body for a sleeker, more defined chin contour. This process treats only fat cells, leaving surrounding tissues unharmed.
Why Choose Kybella?
Opting for Kybella as a fat loss method comes with multiple benefits of fat reduction. It offers a non-surgical solution to reduce chin fullness without the downtime associated with traditional surgery. Kybella treatments are quick, lasting only a few minutes, and come with minimal recovery time.
Frequently Asked Questions About Fat Reduction
Will Fat Reduction Treatments Help Me Lose Weight?
Fat reduction treatments are not designed for weight loss but rather for contouring specific areas by reducing localized fat deposits. Techniques like CoolSculpting and Kybella target fat cells to enhance body shape and reduce bulges.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Fat Reduction Treatment?
Fat reduction treatments like CoolSculpting and Kybella are ideal for individuals who are near their ideal body weight but have areas of fat that do not respond to diet and exercise. During your initial consultation, we will conduct a thorough assessment of your body composition and discuss your aesthetic goals to determine the most effective treatment plan.
Which Fat Reduction Treatment Is Right for Me?
The best fat loss treatment depends on your specific body goals and the areas you wish to target. CoolSculpting is ideal for larger areas like the abdomen and flanks, while Kybella is specifically formulated for reducing fat under the chin. A consultation with our dermatologists can help determine which method will effectively meet your aims and expectations.
How Long Will It Take to See Results?
Results from a fat reduction treatment can vary; typically, changes are noticeable within a few weeks, but it can take up to several months to see the full effect. CoolSculpting often shows results after about three weeks, with improvements continuing for up to six months. For Kybella, visible improvements usually occur within four to six weeks of the first treatment, with more significant results after two to six treatments.
How Long Will My Results Last?
Once the fat cells are removed by non-surgical fat reduction techniques like CoolSculpting and Kybella, the results are generally permanent, as the treated fat cells cannot regenerate. Maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle is crucial to preserving the outcomes. Changes in weight can affect the remaining fat cells and potentially alter the results over time.
