Lipo-Ex: Fat Reduction Sans the Needle

Lipo-Ex is a non-surgical fat reduction technology that provides an effective yet painless alternative to conventional liposuction. In the world of invasive plastic surgery, this fat-loss technique can be a valuable body reshaping tool to help eliminate excess weight and cellulite, with painful needle injections.

The Technology
Lipo-Ex, also termed radio frequency assisted lipoplasty, works on the principle of bipolar capacitive coupling, a technology that works by delivering controlled heat to the area where fat loss is desired. A uniform electric field is sent to precisely placed electrodes on skin surfaces, and the generated bipolar radio frequency energy (RF) converts to a controlled volumetric heat, which is selectively delivered to the subcutaneous fat layer without puncturing the skin. Radio frequency is know to target water-rich areas, and can help stimulate the release of collagen, while melting the fat beneath the musculature, as well as the visceral fat deposited around the internal organs. Excessive fat around organs could potentially lead to hypertension and greatly predisposes individuals to heart disease.

Potential Benefits
Non-surgical fat loss treatments performed by trained professionals help fight cellulite and sagging, diminish skin wrinkling, and help reduce that unappealing dimpled skin. Lipo-Ex targets deeply-deposited adipose tissue, and as fat loss is encouraged by regular sessions the muscular layer gets further toned and strengthened while the skin tightens over what were previously bumpy layers of fat.

In addition to being painless as against the distress of surgery, this procedure also removes the risks associated with general anesthesia. By eliminating the use of needles to penetrate the skin and aid in suction, patients face no risk of inflammation and scarring while practically doing away with prolonged post-surgery recovery. Aside from dissolving fats from specific areas, targeting visceral fats help minimize the potential risks of obesity-related conditions, including diabetes and heart attacks.

Results and Efficacy
The general perception is that invasive fat reduction is more efficacious, and in many cases highly obese individuals may find that liposuction is the best option. But for those uncertain about surgery and the risks and recovery period that comes with it, Lipo-Ex can be the perfect solution. Depending on the fat loss desired, individuals may opt for one or more protocol treatments which typically constitute 8 RF sittings and 3 massage sessions to aid in lymphatic drainage.

Once the fat reduction sessions are underway, regular CT scans and vital stats are measured to help assess reductions in body circumference while correlating these results with actual weight loss. Depending on the individual’s body constitution and response times, patients can expect to lose anywhere from 2-6 inches in the desired area, while the total inch loss from visceral and subcutaneous fat could reach up to 20 inches, along with weight loss of at least 10 pounds in the first 4-6 weeks.

Non-invasive techniques are the ideal fit for individuals who are apprehensive about surgical treatment, or are unsuitable for surgery, providing a proven and safe alternative while still offering effective fat reduction. Lipo-Ex is one of the most effective non-surgical technologies that promote fat loss while sculpting the body to regain a youthful figure.
