The Non-Surgical Treatment a Derm Says Makes It Look Like You’re Wearing Spanx

Non-invasive fat reduction is “in” right now, and probably in for the long haul.

Everyone’s happy to lose some fat, but one nifty thing about these treatments might make the procedure even more appealing.

You’re going to slim down much more than your weight would suggest.

Some might even say it looks like you’re wearing Spanx.

Weight Reduction vs. Fat Reduction

Weight loss and fat reduction aren’t the same thing. And while this might seem like a quibble, it’s an important distinction.

Of course, weight loss is a wonderful thing–and in many ways, a more important thing than any fat reduction treatment.

Health is always more important than cosmetics, and living a fit and healthy life style is the first thing you should pay attention to.

But if you’re already living life healthy and straight edge, slimming down the waist certainly helps.

The fact of the matter is that genetics predispose us to distribute fat in certain ways. And some of us happen to distribute more fat in problem areas–and we aren’t always happier with that kind of contour.

But fat reduction treatments like CoolSculpting specifically reduce fat in problem areas. Permanently.

Permanently Kill Those Fat Cells

That’s the amazing thing about these treatments, is that they’re a permanent contour.

While weight loss causes global fat reduction and also reduces the size of fat cells, fat reduction treatments target fat in a specific area and kill them for good.

That means if you do happen to put five pounds back on, it’s going to distribute globally–and not simply redistribute into that problem area. The weight may come back on, but your newly acquired shape will be resilient.

That’s not a license to go crazy, of course. But it’s definitely something nice to fall back on once the holidays come around again.
