General Information:

Removing our fat without exercise. It once sounded too good to be true. Now science has given us new developments which help remove fat from localized parts of the body. Those love-handles, that spare-tire, the fat on your thighs, belly, underarms, they now can be zapped away. Fat removal is now no longer limited to invasive liposuction surgeries, with their high-risks and complications. We now have non-invasive treatments which can use lasers, mechanical massage, radiofrequency or ultrasound, sometimes in combination, to treat and remove fat through the skin. Other procedures are minimally-invasive, which means they involve much less trauma to the treatment area than a traditional liposuction surgery. These treatments remove fat through smaller incisions, with less downtime.

To best understand your treatment goals and objectives, it’s advisable to contact a physician and schedule an in-person consultation to discuss your fat removal needs. It is very difficult to know what you may or may not be suitable for over the phone. Information such as price and results cannot be clearly determine over the phone so you may need to go in for a consultation to fully understand your needs and what it may cost to achieve them. Call today for a consultation.
