The number of fat cells present in your body remains stable in adulthood. Gaining and losing weight typically only increases or decreases the size of these cells but doesn’t permanently destroy them.
Body sculpting is a non-surgical body-contouring treatment that uses diode-laser energy to destroy stubborn fat cells – permanently.
At Dr K Cosmetic, we use the BodySculp lipolysis system which is FDA-approved for non-invasive fat reduction of the abdomen.
Using laser applicators, optical energy is absorbed in the subcutaneous fat layer and water in the tissue is heated, affecting fat cells.
Absorbed energy combined with extended heating cycles, creates heat in the targeted fat cells. Temperatures in targeted tissues become elevated to the range of 42-46ºC. During exposure, the fat cycles cells cannot survive and begin to die, a process known as apoptosis.
Damaged fat cells will be absorbed and removed gradually by the body's lymphatic system resulting in permanently reduce volume in the targeted area.
There are 2 phases of the treatment – build and sustain phases.
During the build phase, your skin may feel very cold. Some may sense some mild tingling, itchiness, burning or pressure.
During the sustain phase, your tissue will start to feel warm with mild to moderate discomfort.
The treatment lasts about 25 minutes. With zero downtime, you can return work or even hit the gym right away. Some redness, soreness and bruising may occur.
The ideal candidate is someone with an inch of “pinchable” fat around their midsection.
