Hi lovelies,

Firstly it is important to note that not all body fat is bad. Your body needs a certain amount of body fat to survive and chasing a size zero isn’t always healthy. That is not the purpose of this article, this is for those who may feel uncomfortable with certain areas of their body, for those whose self-esteem may be affected as a result.

Of course, the first and foremost way to reduce body fat is to undertake a balanced diet and regular exercise, keeping your body at a sensible calorie deficit. But if you have tried that and still consider yourself to have certain so-called ‘problem areas’ then there are other ways in which you can address unwanted body fat. If this is you if you are looking for some non-invasive ways to reduce body fat then consider these tips below.

Lumen

The Lumen fames itself as the first handheld divide to hack your metabolism. A Lumen is a small machine that you breathe into that measures your metabolism. It is a science that used to be reserved for athletes and clinicians but is now being rolled out to the public. The Lumen tracks your metabolism and how it may be affected by sleep, activity, and nutrition. The Lumen can help provide you with a daily plan to reach your goals, be it fat loss, improved fitness, or overall better health. Over time the Lumen can help train your body to use food more efficiently and this, in turn, can help you to better burn fat instead of carbs ultimately leading to weight loss. The Lumen focuses on your metabolism, not fad or restrictive diets.

Coolsculpting

Coolsculpting uses a procedure known as Cryoliopolysis. This is essentially a treatment that uses cold temperatures to break down fat cells. A roll of fat is placed in between two panels that cool the fat to freezing temperatures. Coolsculpting is so popular because it is seen as a non-invasive alternative to liposuction and can reduce body fat by 20-25%. take a look at some Coolsculpting before and after photos to see the results for yourself.

Laser Lipolysis

Laser Lipolysis takes the opposite approach to Coolsculpting in that it uses heat to kill fat cells as opposed to freezing them. Laser Lipolysis uses light-based technology to rupture fat cells and ultimately destroy them and remove fat deposits from areas such as the stomach, flanks, inner and outer thighs. It is said to be a good solution to those ‘problem spots’ and visible fat bulges

Ultrasound

This method uses ultrasound-created energy to liquefy fatty tissue. Once liquified a doctor will use a thin cannula to remove the fat. This differs from liposuction and is not considered to be as invasive because liposuction removes dense and un-liquefied fat. It is less aggressive than liposuction and the after-effects and recovery time are considerably reduced. The purpose behind this procedure is not to enable weight loss to reduce the build-up of fat deposits in particular areas such as the stomach, thighs that can be commonly resistant to exercise.
