The ultrasound waves increase kinetic energy of molecular motion thus resulting in heat. Therefore, when the heat induced by the ultrasonic means exceeds that normal to the body, loss off cell function occurs and protein denaturation occurs. The cavitation process is induced by a sound frequency of 40kHz, which drives adipocytes, the so-called fat cells, to break.
As a result of this process, the ultrasounds break fat cells and releases triglycerides, which are then collected by the circulatory and lymphatic systems, and most are eliminated by the kidney or become lipoproteins in the liver.
Of the spot fat reduction techniques there are three contenders.
1. Laser Lipolysis,
2. Ultrasonic Cavitation and
3. Cryo Lipolysis or 'Coolsculpting' as it is sometimes called. (Coolsculpting is actually a trade mark of Zeltiq but it described very well what the procedure does).
Laser Lipolysis or Laser Lipo for short has been a popular salon treatment for a while now. The treatment works by using a particular frequency of laser light which penetrates about 6 cm down into the subcutaneous fatty layer and causes the fat cells to release their stored content thus deflating them and therefore causing inch loss.
Non Surgical Liposuction and Mesotherapy
Mesotherapy is a popular method of non-surgical liposuction in Europe and South America. It offers patients many of the same results as traditional liposuction. It is well-known for its ability to remove fat and reduce cellulite, making it very popular among women. The procedure itself involves injecting a mixture of medications and other ingredients, such as amino acids and other holistic ingredients, to dissolve fat that underlies the skin. The body then absorbs the liquid fat and eliminates it through the body's natural waste products. The needles utilized in mesotherapy are quite thin. This makes the procedure virtually painless.
Methods Of Non -Surgical Liposuction Method
1. Laser Fat Reduction Method: Lesser doses of laser light is transmitted through the areas where fat has accumulated. As the light is passed, the fats deposited in the cells are released. Due to this the fat cell membranes are disrupted. The permeability that the cell membranes change, bringing a change in the shape of the fat cells. Triglycerides spill out when the membranes are ruptured and they are released in the interstitial space. They then get mixed up with the metabolism process of the body and are used up through energy loss. Eight sittings are generally required and in the first two sittings there may be a little feeling of discomfort.
2. Ultrasound Fat Reduction Method: When ultrasound waves are passed through the layers of the fat from the outside the glycolysis of the fat cells occurs. This makes the triglycerides to be released from the fat cells. As a result the fat cells are naturally dispelled from the body. This is the safest non-invasive fat removal method as there is no pain or side effect involved.
3. Cool Sculpting: The method is popularly known as Zeltiq. In this method the fat tissues of the treated area are frozen by the use of cooling panels. The death of the fat cells takes place due to this killing- a process which is called Apoptosis. The dead fat cells are removed through the metabolism process of the body. Minor side effects like bruising, discomfort, redness and numbness may take place.
4. Another method is radio-frequency and infrared light is used along with a message roller to cut fat.
5. Exilis: In this method the radio-frequency treatment is much deeper than VelaShape. Besides unlike VelaShape the suction mechanism is not used in this method. Thus it is a much safer option and thus is popular among most women.
