Don’t risk it with Liposuction and use Red Light Therapy instead!

Achieving a tight, toned body and a healthy weight requires a huge amount of dedication and commitment. For some people, reaching this goal seems impossible and so they choose to undergo a well-known cosmetic surgery treatment known as liposuction. Liposuction is an invasive treatment that is designed to remove excess fat cells from the body so that the patient can enjoy a slimmer and more toned physique. However, liposuction isn’t without considerable risk and many patients are either told that they are not good candidates for the procedure or are too scared to undergo such an invasive and potentially risky treatment. Fortunately, there are alternatives and one of the most effective that is becoming an extremely popular alternative to liposuction is red light therapy.

 

How is liposuction performed?

Liposuction is performed using a thin metal tube called a cannula. Firstly, a saline solution is injected into the target area. This saline will help to break down the fat cells so that they can be removed more easily. Secondly, the cannula is inserted into the body through small incisions where it is moved back and forth in the same manner that you would use to vacuum a carpet. This is to further help break apart fat cells, which are then sucked up the cannula which is attached to a vacuum. The fat is processed into containers and disposed of. Meanwhile, the incisions used to carry out the liposuction will be closed with sutures.
 

What are the risks associated with liposuction?

Every invasive cosmetic procedure has risks and liposuction is no exception.

-         You will need to have a general anesthetic, and there may be health risks associated with this.

-         Bruising across the area where liposuction has been performed.

-         Changes in sensation in the skin.

-         Damage to nerves, blood vessels, muscles, lungs, and abdominal organs.

-         Deep vein thrombosis and associated conditions.

-         Accumulation of fluid inside the body.

-         Infection

-         Asymmetrical/irregular results

-         Irregular pigmentation

-         Persistent/excessive swelling

-         Poor wound healing

-         Rippling/loose skin

-         Need for revision surgery

 

How does red light therapy work?

Red light therapy is an innovative new treatment that uses advanced laser technology to alter stubborn fat cells in the area of your body that you are choosing to target. The red light passes harmlessly through the skin where it reaches the fat cells and liquefies the fat contained within them. In doing so, fat can be metabolized and passed out of the body through the normal processes of elimination. Once empty, the fat cells shrink and collapse, causing the target area to appear smaller, tighter and more toned. In addition, the red light stimulates natural collagen and elastin production. These are two substances that keep our skin tight, smooth and supple. By increasing the natural amount of collagen and elastin in our skin, it can more closely adhere to the new contours of our body, further enhancing the effects of your red light body contouring treatment.

 

How is red light therapy better than liposuction?

Red light therapy eliminates all of the risks associated with liposuction, which largely relate to the invasive nature of the process. Instead, red light therapy is entirely painless, with there being no need for anesthetic and no recovery period. Here are some of the other ways in which red light therapy is superior to conventional liposuction.

Quantifiable results

When you choose red light therapy, we want you to be able to fully appreciate the effectiveness of the treatment. For this reason, we don’t rely on manual measuring tapes or calipers to show you your results. Instead, we carry out 3D visualization body scans that obtain a huge amount of data about your shape and size which we will use to show you the before and after results of your treatment.

Antioxidant production

Red light therapy has been shown to be effective at boosting antioxidant production. Antioxidants are essential for fighting against oxidative stress, reducing inflammation which is a key characteristic in many serious diseases.

Weight loss

Losing weight is much harder than gaining weight. Fortunately, as we know, red light therapy can also help boost your natural weight loss. This is because it affects the cells in the body that store fat and cause them to break down. Less fat = reduced weight. Some research has also shown that red light therapy may help to control appetite by affecting the hormones that trigger feelings of hunger and fullness.

Improved collagen production

As we also know, red light therapy stimulates the building blocks of our skin, collagen, and elastin, which strengthens our skin and makes it appear smoother, firmer and more youthful.

Great quality sleep

Sleep is essential for good health. Getting enough sleep each night is also needed to lose weight and to keep hunger pangs at bay. Red light therapy during the daytime has been proven to increase your melatonin output. This is beneficial because melatonin is our sleep hormone and a plentiful supply helps us to fall asleep and stay asleep.

Better overall health

Red light therapy could even boost your overall health and wellbeing. This is because red light energy is converted into cellular energy – known as ATP. The more efficiently your cells create ATP energy in this way, the better your body will feel and perform.
