What is Non-Surgical Fat Reduction?

Updated: Jun 18

Technology that applies an injectable drug to shrink fat cells or heat or cooling is a non-surgical fat reduction method. While none of these therapies is a substitute for liposuction, they do provide alternatives for individuals who do not want or cannot have surgery. Injectable lipolysis, cryolipolysis, laser lipolysis, and radiofrequency lipolysis are some of the non-surgical fat removal methods. Suction massage, ultrasound, infrared light, radiofrequency and injectable medicine are some of the non-surgical fat reduction alternatives.

Non-surgical fat reduction entails minimally invasive therapy that breaks down the fat cells selectively in specific regions to minimize the subcutaneous fat pocket size (these are actually the deposits of fat found between the muscles and skin layer). There are a variety of treatments that achieve steady, modest fat loss without any surgery or downtime.

Non-surgical therapies can prove to be a fantastic way to remove discrete fat without any surgery for patients who are at or near their desired body weight and do not require considerable contouring in an area. However, it's critical to have reasonable expectations for what a non-surgical treatment can achieve.

Disadvantages of Non-surgical Fat Reduction

  1. We can't decide how much fat can be removed; we can only guess the percentage.

  2. Only reduces fat.

  3. Weight loss is not the goal of any surgical, aesthetic procedure or non-surgical method. Treatments cannot dramatically alter a patient's weight. Therefore, maintaining outcomes requires maintenance of weight and a healthy lifestyle.

  4. Patients who need to shed a lot of weight may not be able to use this method.

  5. To obtain the desired effects, many treatments may be required.

Non-surgical fat removal has a number of advantages.

  1. Patients can be more covert about their therapies thanks to the gradual onset of benefits.

  2. There is little to no downtime required.

  3. There is no need for incisions, general anaesthesia or scars.

  4. The results will last till the patient is able to maintain his or her weight.

  5. For the most part, side effects are minor.

Fat reduction by laser treatment

Laser treatment for fat reduction is performed by the process of using heat to remove the subcutaneous fat.  A very precise wavelength of the laser is inserted through the skin which points at the fat cells and breaks them down. The skin remains unharmed as a result of the process because of a constant cooling mechanism.

Facts about laser treatment-

  1. Patients experience a warming sensation during treatment, which is usually harmless.

  2. The FDA has approved it for use in the abdomen and body portions adjacent to the abdomen.

  3. The first signs of results can be seen after 6 weeks, and final results become prominent after 12 weeks.

  4. If you don't gain a lot of weight, the results can last for long.

  5. Each area takes 25 minutes to treat.

Cryolipolysis

Skin, muscle, and nerve tissue are unaffected because they freeze at a lower temperature than fat. Cryolipolysis is a non-invasive procedure that uses severe cold to break down the fat cells and shrink a fat pocket. In the treatment area, a panelled or cupped device is put on top of the skin, transmitting temperatures just low enough to freeze fat cells, effectively killing them.

Facts about Cryolipolysis-

  1. Best for people who want to shrink a fat bulge with minimal contouring.

  2. Hips, abdomen, inner or outer thighs, upper arms, back ("bra rolls"), under the buttock, and under the chin.

  3. Treatments last 35 to 60 minutes; any discomfort is usually minor and includes a strong chilly sensation.

  4. According to studies, each treatment can result in a fat loss of up to 25%.

A registered nurse, medical anaesthetist or cosmetic surgeon can do non-surgical fat reduction procedures carefully as the mechanism varies so much. A certified, trained aesthetician working under medical supervision must safely execute entirely non-invasive treatments.
