The number of overweight and obese people worldwide is increasing every year, and according to experts at the World Health Organization, the "obesity epidemic" is becoming an increasingly serious medical and social problem. Due to the prevalence of obesity in the population, there is currently an increasing interest in various methods of body contouring.

A 20% increase in body weight over the standard value or a significant deposition of adipose tissue leads to a violation of the aesthetic perception of the human body.

Obesity even limits the physical activity of the patient, negatively affecting the quality of life and in some cases leading to the loss of occupational health. Many women develop excessive fat deposits in certain areas, including the abdomen, by the time they reach puberty.

Modern Body Contouring Technology Guards Beauty and Health

It has been shown that the number of fat cells remains constant during adulthood and that the amount of fat in adults depends mainly on changes in the accumulation of lipids in existing fat cells. Weight loss does not reduce the number of fat cells, it only changes their size. Similarly, significant weight gain leads to an increase in body fat, which is due to an increase in the volume of fat cells, not their number.

Most people struggle with fluctuations in body image, not only in adulthood. The most common methods are dieting and exercise. However, all these activities provide only temporary changes in fat cell volume and are not always successful. To achieve long-term results in controlling the amount of fat in a particular part of the body, it is necessary to reduce the number of fat cells.

Today, hardware non-invasive body contouring treatments are becoming more and more popular. Due to its high efficiency, it is in high demand. By combining specific body contouring treatments with carefully develop exercise routines, very good body sculpting results can come about. In this article, we will analyze their advantages and disadvantages and discuss the most popular procedures for body contouring.

Ultrasound Treatment

In recent years, ultrasound cavitation has become more and more popular. The action of ultrasound is at a depth of approximately 4 cm from the epidermis. This method of body contouring affects the cellular tissue. Due to influence of ultrasound, the body undergoes a series of changes:

• Increased metabolism.
• Softening of fat cells.
• Faster cell recovery.
• Improved microcirculation.
• The skin is full of oxygen.

The duration of an ultrasound body contouring session is 30-60 minutes. To achieve visible results, you will need to attend approximately 5-15 sessions, with 7-10 days between sessions.

Fat freezing Treatment

This body contouring treatment uses low temperatures to rapidly cool fat, destroy fat cells, and gradually reduce the thickness of the fat layer. Fat freezing is widely used to correct localized fat deposits.

For this reason, the end results of fat freezing lead to:

• Reduction of localized fat deposits in the body.
• Reduction of puffiness in the body
• Improvement of skin laxity.
• Localized volume reduction.
• Elimination of double chin.

Pressotherapy Body Contouring

Pressotherapy helps the body's lymphatic drainage, thus accelerating the drainage of excess fluid from the body. The use of pressotherapy helps to:

• Lymphatic flow is activated.
• Decrease in body swelling.
• Improved blood circulation.
• Weight loss.
• Body contours become more defined.

The effect of pressotherapy lymphatic drainage usually becomes apparent after 10-20 sessions. It is recommended to perform this procedure 2 times a week. This procedure not only can combine with lymphatic drainage massage but also combine with microcurrent, and vacuum therapy.

Electrical Muscle Stimulation Body Contouring

This body contouring treatment stimulates muscle contraction under the influence of micro-currents. As they rhythmically compress and relax, this ultimately leads to improved blood circulation, lymphatic flow, and metabolism.

The result is weight loss and body volume reduction. A single session of electrical muscle stimulation takes no more than one hour. It takes about 10 to 15 sessions to feel the weight loss and the change in body size.

In some cases, hardware non-invasive body contouring treatments are the most effective. If your body is experiencing any of the following conditions, then you may want to start considering these body contouring treatment options:

• Significant manifestations of cellulite.
• Fat deposits in certain areas of the body.
• Loss of muscle and skin elasticity due to rapid weight loss.
• Sagging of the hips and abdomen, the appearance of stretch marks, loss of tone in the breasts.

Before body contouring treatments, it is necessary to identify the causes of changes in physical appearance. These procedures are more likely to be effective in cases affected by a genetic predisposition to overweight, cyclical hormonal disorders, sedentary lifestyles, poor nutrition, and age-related body changes.
