Body contouring at Metro Dermatology in Queens, NY, offers an effective solution for reducing stubborn fat deposits and achieving desired body shapes. This technique targets specific areas, minimizing resistant fat pockets and helping you attain your aesthetic goals.
Non-invasive body contouring is not only efficient and convenient but also known for its long-lasting results. At Metro Dermatology, we’re dedicated to providing treatments that consistently meet our patients’ expectations for their physical appearance.
Body contouring encompasses a range of treatments, including non-surgical methods and surgical options like liposuction. Non-surgical options use techniques like cooling and ultrasound to reduce fat in targeted areas, offering minimal downtime. Liposuction, in contrast, is a surgical approach that directly removes fat cells for more pronounced changes.
Body contouring is effective for areas resistant to diet and exercise, such as the abdomen, thighs, arms, and back. It can enhance natural contours and can provide beautiful results for those who are on the other side of significant weight loss or who have experienced changes in body fat after pregnancy.
CoolSculpting is a leading form of non-invasive body contouring, known for its ability to reduce fat without surgery. This treatment specifically targets and cools the pinchable fat that can be present on the abdomen, chin, or other areas. It’s favored for its minimal downtime and its suitability for those who prefer non-surgical methods for body shaping.
CoolSculpting uses the scientific principle of cryolipolysis, which is a unique type of body contouring that freezes and destroys fat cells. During the treatment, a device is applied to the targeted area, cooling the fat cells to a temperature that breaks them down without harming surrounding tissues. These destroyed fat cells are then naturally processed and eliminated by the body over time.
The results of CoolSculpting can be long-lasting since the treated fat cells are permanently eliminated from the body. Once these cells are removed, they cannot regrow or expand, contributing to a sustained reduction in fat in the treated areas.
Several factors can influence the longevity of CoolSculpting outcomes. Lifestyle habits, such as diet and exercise, play a significant role in maintaining results. Additionally, fluctuations in weight can affect the visibility of CoolSculpting’s effects, as gaining weight can lead to an increase in the size of remaining fat cells in the body.
Vanquish is a form of non-surgical body contouring that focuses on reducing fat without direct contact with the body. This technique is particularly effective for larger areas like the abdomen and thighs.
Vanquish body contouring uses radiofrequency technology to heat and destroy fat cells. This method induces apoptosis in fat cells while leaving surrounding tissues unharmed, resulting in a reduction of fat layers.
The results of Vanquish can be long-term, especially when accompanied by a stable lifestyle and weight. The treatment eliminates fat cells, which are then naturally processed and removed from the body.
The duration of Vanquish results can also be influenced by factors such as dietary habits and physical activity. Consistent weight maintenance is key to preserving the treatment’s effectiveness, since, just as with CoolSculpting, weight gain can lead to an increase in the size of the remaining fat cells.
VASER-assisted liposuction is a sophisticated body sculpting technique that combines ultrasound technology with liposuction. This method precisely targets fat while preserving surrounding tissues, offering a more defined and smoother body contour.
The results from VASER-assisted liposuction are generally permanent, as the fat cells removed during the procedure do not regenerate. However, as with any body contouring treatment, maintaining a stable weight is still important for preserving these effects.
Maintaining the results of body sculpting procedures goes beyond the treatment itself; it deeply intertwines with one’s lifestyle choices. Adopting a balanced diet and regular exercise regimen is crucial for preserving the newly contoured appearance. These habits not only help in maintaining weight but also support overall health, ensuring that the body’s shape remains as desired for a longer period.
Post-procedure follow-up and maintenance play a significant role in the longevity of body contouring results. Regular check-ups allow for monitoring the progress and addressing any concerns promptly. In some cases, additional treatments may be recommended to enhance or maintain the desired outcomes. These can range from touch-up procedures to complementary non-surgical treatments, depending on individual needs and goals.
With CoolSculpting and Vanquish, it is common to schedule a series of two or three treatments with several weeks in between to allow your body to flush out dead fat cells. With liposuction, results are usually achieved in one procedure, but it can take time for the swelling to go down and for you to see the final result. It’s important to have open communication with your healthcare provider to understand the best course for maintaining your results.
