Visceral fat makes up around 10 percent of your body fat, and some amounts of visceral fat are normal. The rest of that fat is subcutaneous and lies beneath the skin’s surface, unlike visceral fat. That said, some people have more fat than usual, leading to excess weight and stubborn fat patches.
Most people resort to dieting and exercise to address this issue, but that is not always effective. Luckily, there are plenty of weight loss and body sculpting solutions that you can try, all of which are available at Park Avenue Medical Spa. Let’s explore the options and see which one might be best for you.
Best Options to Sculpt Your Body
Excess fat can be an annoyance, especially when it prevents you from rocking that swimsuit. When you start a body sculpting journey, there are several procedures that you can opt for, including the following:
1. Fat Reduction Treatments
Body sculpting treatments are not necessarily about reducing your weight but targeting those excess pockets of fat that refuse to budge. Under normal circumstances, around 10 percent of your fat cells die and are replaced yearly, but the ones that survive are deposited in patches. They can form in your chin area, love handles, arms, belly, and more.
When you want to address those stubborn areas, fat reduction procedures like CoolSculpting® Elite and Fotona TightSculpting® can help. The former uses a controlled freezing technology to handle the subcutaneous fat, whereas the latter relies on laser power to eliminate fat and tighten the skin. If you have stubborn under-chin fat, injectables like KYBELLA® can be used to reduce it and contour your jawline.
2. Skin Tightening Procedures
A lot of the time, what prevents you from enjoying the perfect body is not the stubborn fat but the skin that sags once you lose weight. It’s more difficult for the skin to catch onto your weight loss, especially later in life when collagen production gets lower. This is why it is recommended to use skin tightening procedures the moment you begin your weight loss journey.
Some options include Morpheus8™, which combines radiofrequency and microneedling to start new collagen production. If the skin laxity is mostly visible on the face, some suitable alternatives could include Fotona 4D®, PDO Thread Lifting, or Venus Viva™.
3. Weight Management Solutions
Visceral fat is among the most difficult to get rid of, especially when you have a relatively unhealthy lifestyle. Sedentarism can make weight loss even more challenging, which is quite common among those with a desk job. Should this happen, weight loss injections can help you lose weight faster.
Usually based on semaglutide, these injections mimic hormones in your gut that tell your body you are full. This prevents you from overeating and reduces your cravings, decreasing your overall calorie intake.
Body Finishing Procedures to Consider
After completing a weight loss journey, your body might require a series of touch-ups. This can include the following:
- Liquid Facelift
After medically assisted weight loss, you might notice skin sagging in the facial region because the skin cannot naturally tighten fast enough. When this happens, an excellent option to restore your cheek and facial contour is to choose a liquid facelift. By injecting HA fillers in the right spots, you can add more structure to the face and give a sensation of “fullness.”
- Cellulite Reduction
Cellulite can persist whether or not you are dealing with excess fat. Poor skin texture and weak fibrous bands can add gaps into the skin, giving you the dreaded “orange peel” look. Cellulite treatments like Sofwave™ or Venus Legacy can improve the skin’s health, tightening it until it looks smooth.
