thermage weight loss

January 16th, 2010 The Doctor

Men and women in the United States spend thousands of dollars on weight loss products, including diet pills, diet meals, exercise equipment, gym memberships, and plastic surgery. While proper diet and exercise are always the best possible way to lose weight and keep your body healthy, some people chose to undergo cosmetic surgery to remove specific flaws such as cellulite on the buttocks and thighs, fatty pockets from the abdomen, and lax skin in the stomach area. Liposuction, Body by Thermage, and VelaShape treatments are all proven to be effective at reducing the signs of these flaws. Learn more about the differences among these treatments.

Liposuction

Liposuction is considered a surgical procedure. During liposuction, the plastic surgeons creates an incision in the area where fat is to be removed. In some cases, a special fluid is injected into the area so fat is more easily removed. Then, a cannula, a tube-like suctioning device, is inserted into the incision and moved back and forth by the physician while fat deposits are removed. The liposuction treatment is best suited for patients seeking to remove pockets of fat from certain areas f the body.

Body by Thermage

Body by Thermge is a non-invasive procedure in which radiofrequency technology is used to heat the patients’ outer layer of skin, stimulating collagen rejuvenation. The Thermage treatment is best suited for patients with skin laxity.

VelaShape

During the VelaShape procedure, radiofrequency energy, light, massage, and suction techniques are combined to reshape the body and remove dimples, or cellulite. VelaShape is a non-surgical procedure that can be performed by a dermatologist, plastic surgeon, or at a med spa. This treatment is best suited for patients who want to remove cellulite.

If you are considering undergoing liposuction plastic surgery, Body by Thermage, VelaShape, or another body contouring procedure, be sure to speak to a local cosmetic surgeon who can help you choose the treatment that is right for you.
