When Diet Alone Doesn’t Work, Try This

February 14, 2018

Losing weight can be a long, arduous, and frustrating process, and everywhere you turn, somebody new claims to hold the secrets to the next big diet or exercise routine. The issue, however, is that weight loss isn’t purely a diet or exercise issue; as we age, our bodies hold onto fat deposits no matter how healthy our eating habits or how vigorous our workouts.

With body-sculpting technologies, patients young and old can receive a much-needed boost to their weight loss routine while tightening their skin, contouring their shape, and lessening the amount of time they spend in the gym.

Why Body Fat is More Difficult to Lose as We Get Older

Whether you work out religiously or have yet to ever step foot inside a gym, one constant in life that we all share is the effect aging has on our bodies.

As we move through life, the collagen and elastin proteins that help keep our skin and body tissues firm begin to deteriorate. When this happens, our bodies’ structures are loosened, causing issues such as skin laxity, wrinkling, and stubborn fat deposits. When compounded with contributors such as poor eating habits and exposure to environmental stressors, these issues become increasing more obvious and difficult to remedy.

How to Promote the Production of Collagen and Elastin

When it comes to fine lines, wrinkles, and deep folds in the skin, there are several ways to invigorate the production of collagen and elastin and bring structure back to the skin. These methods range from topical products containing vitamins, antioxidants, and other active ingredients to facial rejuvenation services that harness aesthetic technologies, such as microdermabrasion, microneedling, and laser services.

When it comes to fat deposits, however, there are two tools in particular that have profound effects on shaping the body and minimizing fat: Vanquish and CoolSculpting.

How Vanquish and CoolSculpting Work

Although these two procedures offer similar results, both Vanquish and CoolSculpting harness completely different energies. Vanquish, for instance, heats fat cells using ultrasound technology, while CoolSculpting, as its name suggests, freezes fat cells through a process called cryolipolysis.

Both procedures are safe, completely non-surgical and non-invasive, and require absolutely zero downtime for patients, making aesthetic body sculpting a much more feasible and less frightening alternative to traditional surgical procedures.

Destroy Fat Permanently

As these procedures work, destroyed fat cells are naturally absorbed by and flushed through the body. As new fat cells cannot be formed, this process of removing fat ensures that with proper exercise and eating habits, fat deposits are destroyed permanently.

So, if diet and exercise alone have failed to give you the body you desire, think about adding Vanquish or CoolSculpting to your body-sculpting efforts.
