Laser lipo might sound like the last-ditch, experimental treatment option you might turn to if you’ve tried everything else to lose those last few inches around your midsection or find yourself gaining weight again after building successful diet and exercise routines. But the FDA-cleared technique used by Dr. Tred’s Slim Body Laser Spa in Stuart, Florida doesn’t have to be your last resort. The technique of targeting fat and melting it away from your body can be a helpful aid to your health goals, particularly after you reach 50 years old.

Laser Lipo for Patients Over 50

            Laser lipo is a viable option for some who want to lose those last few inches, especially in areas of the body that resist fat loss. The reason why the midsection is such a common point of frustration for so many is that the body naturally stores fat there in fat cells. These cells expand over time, and when your body does burn fat, it usually burns it from other areas of the body where it’s stored. The body stores fat near the midsection and other areas of high frustration for people for later use. It’s an evolutionary response. Your body is designed to set fat aside in case of malnutrition later.

            Malnutrition isn’t as much of a problem for many of us anymore. Controlling your waistline and weight is. The truth is that when you’re overweight, you’re more susceptible to health issues like cardiovascular disease, fatty liver syndrome, Type II Diabetes, and some forms of cancer. As you age, your body becomes more vulnerable to these conditions.

            This situation can become impossible for many people. It’s harder to lose weight as we age. Yet, maintaining a healthy weight becomes more crucial as we age. Laser lipo procedures offered by Dr. Tred’s Slim Body Laser Spa present a way for people over 50 to avoid becoming overweight and head off many of the health problems that come with it.

How Does it Work?

            There are many laser lipo procedures out there and unfortunately, not all of them are cleared by the FDA. Dr. Tred’s Slim Body Laser Spa offers a procedure in nine sessions over three weeks that has been proven to be safe and effective.

The procedure targets fat cells just beneath the skin, called subcutaneous fat. Everyone is different, so the ability to target different parts of the body is crucial here. The laser affects the fat cells themselves, causing them to release the fat stored there naturally. There’s no freezing or burning or sucking involved. After nine sessions and three weeks with very little recovery time, you’ll see the fat melt away and lower numbers looking back at you from your bathroom scale.
