Get Rid Of Your Stubborn Fat This Holiday Season

Are you looking to slim down for this holiday season? Are you worried about how all of that holiday food is going to affect your body shape? Or maybe you just want to get a head start on your New Year's Resolution to get rid of that stubborn fat/cellulite?

Whatever your concerns may be, rest assured that you're not alone. You'll also be glad to hear that there are now options for patients that can help you get that lean, sweater-ready profile you want, without the need for invasive surgery. Most of these non-invasive procedures take at least a few weeks before you notice their effects, so the time to act is now.

First, let's discuss the problem. We all have them those spots on the body where the fat just won't go away, no matter how much effort we put into our diet and exercise routine. You may even have a nickname for your problem area, such as “bubble butt,” or “love handles.” Whatever you call them, the fact remains that these problem areas can be extremely frustrating for people who want to improve their body shape.

If we were living in a perfect world, you would go to the gym and target your workouts on those bulges, and whittle away that extra fat in your abs, thighs, chin, etc. However, contrary to common belief, “spot reducing” is easier said than done. In most cases, when fat is broken down during exercise this happens throughout the body, not just in your targeted area. If you're having trouble with a particular area, it may be a good idea to consider alternatives.

SmartLipo, Liposuction and surgery are options that will effectively address your problem. However, these require incisions, and a day or more off work. Many patients (especially in recent years) are opting for non-surgical fat reduction procedures such as SculpSure, a light-based procedure that takes about 25 minutes with no downtime.

What Is SculpSure?

SculpSure is a breakthrough in light-based body contouring designed to reduce stubborn fat in problem areas such as the abdomen and love handles, helping you achieve a slimmer and natural looking appearance without surgery or downtime.

How Does It Work?

This innovative technology is designed to reduce stubborn fat cells by raising the temperature of body fat in problem areas such as the abdomen and love handles. It targets and destroys fat cells without affecting the skin's surface. Over time, these damaged fat cells are naturally absorbed and removed from the body.

This procedure can help you achieve a slimmer appearance in just 25 minutes. That's because, unlike with suction-based methods, there is no bruising or damage to the surrounding skin. Results are typically seen in six to 12 weeks, according to clinical testing, with an average 24 percent reduction in stubborn fat. There is no recovery time following treatment, so you can resume your daily activities immediately.
