Best Alternatives to Liposuction for Stomach Fat

Posted by ultimatelight on August 22nd, 2018

All of these alternative options to liposuction for stomach fat are nonsurgical, noninvasive, less expensive, and require no recovery time. These procedures have the ability to reduce up to 25% of fat from the stomach.

Cryolipolysis

CoolSculpting® is the most prominent Cryolipolysis treatment and has a 95% satisfaction rate. This alternative to liposuction for belly fat works by freezing fat cells through controlled frostbite. CoolSculpting® lasts a few hours, and results become visible in the following weeks.

Heat Laser Technology and Light Therapy

Heat laser technology and light therapy both heat and liquefy fat, by means of thermal lasers and light waves, respectively. These procedures reduce the appearance of dimpled skin by increasing elasticity and reordering collagen structures.

Cold Laser Technology

Zerona® is the forerunner of cold laser procedures to remove fat. This treatment shrinks fat cells by liquefying their contents, and then moving the contents outside their membranes. Unlike other alternatives to liposuction, this technology doesn't destroy the cells. The procedure lasts about forty minutes and has minimal side-effects. Usually multiple sessions are needed to achieve results.

Radiofrequency Technology

truSculpt™ and Vanquish ME are alternatives to liposuction that use radiofrequencies to remove fat. truSculpt™ takes about an hour, and sometimes, a second session is necessary to see results. 
Vanquish ME also emits high-frequency radio waves to burn fat. This treatment is ideal for people with loose or aging skin, and results have been seen in days.

Sound Wave Technology (HIFU)

Liposonix and UltraShape are both alternatives to liposuction that harness the power of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) as a means to decimate fat cells. Liposonix affects surface layers of fat by destroying cells with heat. The process takes about an hour, and after one session, results are most apparent three months post-procedure. 

UltraShape uses pulsed HIFU for selective fat annihilation. Pulsed ultrasound waves create hot vapor pockets in fat cells, which causes them to burst. This procedure takes an hour, and after a single session, results are visible in the following weeks.

VelaSmooth™

Of all the alternatives to liposuction for stomach fat, this is the most holistic option. This novel treatment fights fat with a combination of light, heat, radiofrequency, massage, and suction therapies. The process involves adjusting internal tissue to smooth the stomach muscles. Then, the muscles are loosened so infrared light and radiofrequency waves may weaken the fat cells. Finally, VelaSmooth™ raises the metabolism of these weakened cells in order to destroy them.
