The weight loss and cosmetic surgery industries are in flux. You can find many examples of new, Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved technology and products constantly entering these markets promising a slimmer waistline and an end to being overweight.
This wide selection of weight-loss products and philosophies is great because it means
everyone can try to find a strategy for weight loss that works for them. Every
body is different, and what works for some people won’t work for others. All
these new products, diets, technologies, etc. can also overwhelm people who are
struggling to lose weight.
When you try a diet and fail, or try to turn up your exercise regimen, or try a procedure like liposuction, you become discouraged if the results aren’t what you want. After all, who wants to constant re-shape their life and keep paying doctors without results? Fortunately, a new FDA-approved technology has entered the market and changed weight loss results for many people. It’s called laser-assisted weight loss.
A Wide-Ranging FDA-cleared Technology
Laser-assisted weight loss has become a blanket term describing several different procedures, all done with lasers, to reduce subcutaneous fat, the fat that lingers just
under your skin, usually around your midsection. This is different from
visceral fat, which helps protect and nourish many of your internal organs. As
frustrated as you may have become with reducing fat and losing weight, you
don’t want to rid yourself of visceral fat.
Subcutaneous fat, sometimes called “stubborn fat” by frustrated patients and doctors, is fat stored by your body for later use. It’s energy your body doesn’t need to run at the moment but could use in case of periods of low food intake. It’s an ancient response system our bodies have evolved to keep ourselves alive during winter, when food is scarce. There’s evidence that many people gain five to seven pounds during the winter, possibly for this very reason. (There are plenty of other reasons for this, too.)
Why Laser-Assisted Weight Loss?
The exact reasons for subcutaneous fat buildup vary from person to person. When we age, it’s common for our metabolism, or the process by which our bodies break down food into caloric energy, to slow down. Exercise, of course, is a way to not
only speed up our metabolism, but to burn that caloric energy instead of
storing it in fat. But, even when many of us maintain our exercise schedules
into middle age, we still have that annoying stubborn fat.
Our hormonal processes change as we age, and that affects our metabolism. An
FDA-cleared technology that could be an answer to those who have struggled to
shed subcutaneous fat is the Ultimate Laser Weight System, a laser-assisted
weight loss procedure developed by expert weight loss physician Dr. Tred
Rissacher. This noninvasive procedure targets the subcutaneous fat cells that
hold the fat. Rather than hurting the cells in any way or trying to cut or
freeze it away, the laser simply forces the fat cells to release the fat
they’re storing, which is then naturally flushed from your body. After nine
sessions, patients see huge differences in weight and waistline without the
need for invasive surgeries, extreme diets, or an increase in exercise.
