On What Parts of My Body Can I Melt Away the Fat?

Eating right and exercising can help you achieve a normal weight, but areas of fat may still linger, keeping you from having the physique you desire. Safe, minimally invasive procedures like SculpSure® and laser liposuction offer ways to melt away fat from just about anywhere. We here at Lansdowne Aesthetic Center offer SculpSure and laser liposuction to help you achieve the fat loss you desire. These innovative fat-loss therapies are effective just about anywhere you have unwanted bulges. Here’s where you can see results.

Sculpsure

SculpSure uses light-based technology to target and destroy fat cells. There’s no surgery involved. We use SculpSure to melt fat away from your:

Belly

Love handles

Back

Inner and outer thighs

SculpSure is also effective in dissolving submental fat -- the fat that sits under the chin and makes you look older and heavier than you actually are. During your SculpSure appointment, you sit in a treatment chair, and the device is placed around treatment areas, much like a belt. SculpSure delivers laser energy that penetrates your outer layer of skin and is hot enough to kill fat cells underneath. Your outer layers of skin are not harmed. You may have slight redness and swelling immediately after your session, but these side effects fade quickly. The light energy destroys the treated fat cells so that your body can discard them through your natural waste-removal systems. In just three months after treatment, you should begin see a visible change in the way your body looks. SculpSure requires no downtime, just a continued commitment to a healthy lifestyle to maintain your results.

Laser liposuction

Laser liposuction is a minimally invasive way to melt away fat. The procedure involves delivering laser energy using a very thin fiber just under the skin in areas of unwanted fat. The laser energy literally liquifies unwanted fat, so it’s easily removed from your body. Unlike traditional liposuction that requires large tubes and results in major bruising and swelling, laser liposuction requires very small tubes and tiny incisions. With laser liposuction, we treat just about anywhere you’re holding onto fat, including:

Back of neck

Upper arms

Upper back

Upper and lower abdomen

Love handles and flanks

Hips and waist

Inner and outer thighs

Buttocks

Inside of knees

Male chest (enlarged breasts)

Under the chin and jowls

The light energy of laser lipo literally melts fat away using just a local anesthetic -- so there’s no worry of complications or recovery from general anesthesia. You’ll be back at most activities within just a few days, and your full results are noticeable in about two months. We use Sciton’s Prolipo PLUS™, technology that has complete FDA approval. A major benefit of this advanced technology is that the laser energy also firms up skin in the treated areas, so when the fat melts away, your tissue looks taut and healthy.

Candidates for fat treatments

Both SculpSure and ProLipo work best on people who are at or near their normal weight. They cannot bring about major weight loss. It’s important that you’re committed to a healthy diet and physical activity -- these steps help promote your results and prevent future weight gain. Come talk to us here at Lansdowne Aesthetic Center to find out if one of our fat-melting technologies is right for your body goals. Call today, or use the online tool to make an appointment.

Does fasting burn fat or muscle?

Do You Lose Muscle When Fasting? Nearly all studies of intermittent fasting have been conducted for weight loss purposes ( 1 ). It is important to realize that without exercise, weight loss will usually come from a loss of both fat mass and lean mass. Lean mass is everything besides fat, including muscle ( 4 ).

healthline.com - Does Intermittent Fasting Make You Gain or Lose Muscle? - Healthline

Although intermittent fasting is very popular, there is sometimes confusion about what it actually is. This is likely because intermittent fasting is a broad term, describing several specific types of eating. Here are the most common types ( 1 ):

Time-Restricted Eating

Time-restricted eating (also known as time-restricted feeding) restricts all calories to a certain number of hours each day. This may range from 4–12 hours, but an 8-hour eating period is common.

Alternate-Day Fasting

As the name implies, alternate-day fasting consists of alternating between fasting days and non-fasting days. This means you fast every other day. While some people eat nothing on the fasting days (true fasting), it is more common to have one small meal on the fasting day (modified fasting).

Periodic Fasting

Periodic fasting (also known as whole-day fasting) consists of occasional fasts, separated by days or weeks of normal eating. While exact definitions vary, programs involving fasting for one or more days every 1–4 weeks are often considered periodic fasting.

The 5:2 Diet

The popular 5:2 diet is very similar to alternate-day and periodic fasting.

It involves eating normally for five days per week and eating about 25% of your normal amount of calories two days per week ( 2 ). The very low-calorie days could be considered a form of modified fasting, particularly if you only consume one meal.

Religious Fasting

Many different religions have regular periods of fasting.

Examples include the month of Ramadan observed by Muslims and various fasts associated with Orthodox Christianity ( 3 ). Summary There are several different types of intermittent fasting, such as time-restricted eating, alternate-day fasting, periodic fasting, the 5:2 diet and religious fasting. While they have some common features, the specific programs vary widely.
