Are you frustrated by stubborn fat on your chin, arms, torso, legs, or other parts of your body? Often, undesired pockets of fat are resistant to diet and exercise.
But thanks to advanced fat reduction treatments, you can say goodbye to unwanted fat and embrace firmer, leaner, and younger-looking skin. Keep reading to learn how to love the skin you’re in with fat reduction treatments!
CoolSculpting
CoolSculpting is a non-surgical treatment that utilizes cryolipolysis technology to break down fat cells using cold temperatures. The FDA-approved procedure treats common problem areas such as:
- Neck fat
- Knee fat
- Armpit fat
- Abdomen fat
- Upper arm fat
- Upper and lower back
- Outer and inner thighs
- Flanks or love handles
- Banana rolls below the buttocks
How Does CoolSculpting Work?
Fat cells are more susceptible to damage from colder temperatures than other kinds of cells. CoolSculpting leverages this principle to freeze and kill fat cells while leaving surrounding muscle tissue and skin unharmed.
The lymphatic system then efficiently and safely flushes out the destroyed fat cells as waste. CoolSculpting has different applicator sizes to match the treatment area. This makes the procedure versatile for various parts of the body.
By precisely targeting specific areas, CoolSculpting effectively reduces fat thickness, resulting in a more defined appearance. “CoolSculpting has become a patient favorite due to its ability to target stubborn fat pockets without surgery or downtime,” says Kasie Palmer, MMS, PA-C, a certified physician assistant at Golden State Dermatology. “Patients appreciate the gradual, natural-looking results that seamlessly blend with their body’s contours. It provides a safe, effective solution for those struggling with diet and exercise-resistant fat. It’s rewarding to see the boost in confidence my patients experience as they achieve their body contouring goals.”
What Are the Benefits of CoolSculpting?
The advantages of CoolSculpting include:
Localized Fat Reduction
Each patient’s body accumulates and stores fat differently. Unlike diet and exercise, CoolSculpting allows patients to lose fat in the specific regions they choose, including areas of stubborn fat like the side and back of your abdomen and abdomen.
After CoolSculpting, the body slowly eliminates the dead fat cells, leaving patients with a slimmer, more balanced silhouette.
Natural-Looking, Long-Term Results
With CoolSculpting, patients avoid abrupt changes that can happen with surgical procedures. The treatment promotes the gradual reduction of fat layers as the body slowly eliminates dead fat cells, resulting in a smoother, more natural appearance.
CoolSculpting also doesn’t produce uneven or lumpy results like other fat reduction treatments. The lack of surgical marks and scars after CoolSculpting can contribute to natural-looking results that blend effortlessly with your body’s contours.
Once your provider at Golden State Dermatology removes the dead fat cells, they’re gone permanently, meaning you can enjoy the results of CoolSculpting for many years.
EmSculpt Neo
EmSculpt Neo is a non-invasive technology that uses radiofrequency and HIFEM+ energies to eliminate fat and help build muscle. It’s a revolutionary body contouring treatment that allows you to get the results of two procedures in one treatment.
During one 30-minute treatment session, you can eliminate fat cells and build muscle at the same time. Not only does this mean less fat and more muscle, but it can also be used on patients with a BMI of up to 35.
Board-certified dermatologist Alison Boudreaux, MD of Calkin & Boudreaux, a Golden State Dermatology Affiliate, shares, “Patients love EmSculpt Neo because it’s a non-invasive solution that fits seamlessly into their busy lives. Toned muscles are an important part of body contouring, and with reduced fat, my patients can really see their toned, beautiful results quickly. It’s truly rewarding to see them regain confidence and feel empowered in their own skin.”
Benefits of EmSculpt Neo
EmSculpt Neo can treat problem areas like:
- The abdomen
- Flanks
- Buttocks
- Inner and outer thighs
- Front thighs
- Back thighs
- Biceps
- Triceps
- Calves
Kybella
Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to eliminate a double chin or submental fat, helping patients attain a more contoured profile. It utilizes synthetic deoxycholic acid to decrease the appearance of moderate to severe chin fat.
Deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring substance in your body that helps break down and absorb dietary fat during digestion.
How Does Kybella Work?
Kybella strategically injects deoxycholic acid into specific areas, targeting undesirable fat in the submental area. Once administered, deoxycholic acid, Kybella’s active ingredient, disrupts the fat cell membrane, destroying the fat cells.
After Kybella, the body naturally eliminates the damaged fat cells through the lymphatic system over several weeks to months. Most patients may need to repeat treatment sessions about a month apart to achieve their desired results.
The procedure gradually diminishes a double chin, revealing a more defined and sculpted jawline over time.
What Are the Benefits of Kybella?
Some of the many benefits of Kybella include:
Erases a Double Chin
People have double chins for various reasons, from weight gain to the natural aging process and genetics. If you feel self-conscious about your double chin, Kybella can decrease or erase its appearance.
Kybella is a highly effective procedure that transforms a double chin into a more chiseled jawline. The treatment can give more definition to the submental area, helping you look leaner, rejuvenated, and younger.
Non-Invasive and Minimal Downtime
For people who want to take years off their face and keep their skin looking tight without undergoing invasive procedures, Kybella can provide the perfect alternative. The non-surgical treatment minimizes a double chin without the risks that come with surgery.
Each Kybella treatment session lasts 15 to 20 minutes, and many patients can return to their regular activities right after the procedure.
Long-Lasting Outcomes
Kybella is a permanent treatment that delivers transformative results. Once destroyed, the fat cells can’t regenerate, meaning the results attained with Kybella are long-term.
Liposuction
Liposuction is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that can help reduce pockets of fat. Although it cannot substitute weight loss and exercise, undergoing liposuction can help kickstart the effects that you would see with just exercise and weight loss.
Liposuction removes excess fat from your body by using suction. Permanently removing this fat from your body with liposuction helps to reveal more pleasing contours and makes you look more toned.
How Does Liposuction Work?
Liposuction uses a hollow, stainless-steel tube called a cannula inserted into the deep fat layer of your skin, which is less likely to injure your skin. Your provider at Golden State Dermatology will push and pull the cannula through the deep fat layer.
As the cannula moves, it breaks up fat cells. A vacuum pump or syringe will then remove the fat from the deep fat layer of your skin using suction.
Benefits of Undergoing Liposuction
Getting liposuction is an excellent way of looking more toned. It can remove fat from:
- Your torso
- The arms
- Neck
- Chin
- Outer and inner thighs
- Flanks
- The abdomen
- Back
Liposuction not only helps you look better but is also a permanent procedure. Removing fat removes the hormones that fat emits, ensuring you look sleeker after liposuction for years to come. At Golden State Dermatology, we provide personalized consultations to help patients choose the best treatment or combination of treatments to achieve their desired toned appearance.
