Cooltech Fat Freezing Vs Liposuction Procedures

If you are looking to lose excess fat around your body then there are various methods of removing fat that you would be looking into. Two of these methods are liposuction and Cooltech fat freezing. Both have their merits but what do they entail and which is better for weight loss?

What Is Liposuction?

Liposuction has been around longer than the fat freezing method and involves a surgical procedure using an anaesthetic. During the procedure, the surgeon makes small cuts in the skin then liquefies or shaves the fat before it is sucked out of the body.

A tube called a canula may be inserted under your skin to help remove further fat deposits but may not be needed depending on the surgery and the area that was worked on. Afterwards, you will need about a week of downtime and you will feel pain and discomfort while needing dressings for the surgical wounds.

What Is Cooltech Fat Freezing?

Cooltech fat freezing is a new form of fat reduction treatment that doesn’t involve surgery. It is a quick procedure that works through the skin, freezing the fat cells beneath the outer layer of your body. Once the fat cells have been frozen they are absorbed by the body.

The treatment requires multiple sessions with various areas of the body able to be worked on. After a few weeks, the results start to show with parts of the body looking toned and firmer than before. There is no downtime and anaesthetic needed!

Which One Is A Better Weight Loss Treatment?

Neither liposuction nor Cooltech fat freezing treatments are weight loss treatments. Rather these are fat reduction or body toning treatments that are recommended for those with stubborn fat deposits that need to be removed.

Liposuction is an option if you don’t mind having surgery or downtime but Cooltech fat freezing treatments are better overall. This is because they are non-invasive, there is no downtime and you see the results after a few sessions without the pain or scars that are involved in liposuction.

What Is Hyperpigmentation And Does It Relate To Melasma?

What Is Hyperpigmentation?

Hyperpigmentation refers to a variety of conditions that affect the skin and its ability to produce excess pigmentation. These conditions include sun damage, scarring form acne, birthmarks and darkening of the skin due to severe eczema.

Depending on how deeply the pigmentation has penetrated the skin will determine how hard the condition is to treat. In severe cases, it can take a long time before the hyperpigmentation disappears completely.

What Is Melasma?

Melasma is a type of hyperpigmentation but is a lot harder to treat. This is because it is not only thought to be caused by sun damage to the skin but is also hormone related. Therefore, to treat this type of skin condition you need a dual approach which is difficult to accomplish and takes time.

Melasma mainly affects women, especially those who are pregnant and occurs mostly around the facial areas though it can develop on other parts of the body. It also becomes worse in environments with a lot of heat and light such as the kitchen, bathroom and backyard.

How Can I Treat Them?

As Melasma is mainly hormone-based it is a lot harder to treat than other hyperpigmentation conditions. Therefore, to treat it you need to balance out your hormones so that the skin can start to heal and return to its normal pigment.
