There are non-surgical alternatives to Liposuction...but which one the best?

The season of little black dresses and winter vacations is quickly approaching. Will a stubborn pocket of fat be affecting your wardrobe choices? Sometimes diet and exercise just isn’t enough! Many people have stubborn pockets of fat that just won`t budge no matter what they do. Until recently surgical liposuction was the only choice. Now there are several non-surgical options that claim to reduce localized fat non-invasively. Most do not work very well. Others do not work at all or deliver results that are only temporary. Only a few are clinically proven to be effective.
The first treatment ever introduced that was clinically proven to permanently destroy fat was Ultrashape™. To understand how Ultrashape works think of balloons bursting. Focused Ultrasound ruptures the fat cells. The fat within the cells and the cell membrane is then cleared from the body through natural processes. Ultrashape is usually done as a series of three treatments performed two weeks apart. For many years it was considered the Gold Standard among non-surgical alternatives to liposuction.
For people at their ideal bodyweight seeking to reduce localized pockets of fat, Ultrashape is still in use.
Coolsculpting™ has since become the most popular and effective body contouring device in the world. Worldwide, more than a million treatments have been performed! Upon checking review sites you will see that, among non-invasive body contouring procedures, Coolsulpting has the highest patient satisfaction rating. In short, it works very well. Let me tell you more!
COOLSCULPTING FREEZES AWAY FAT!
Research done by Harvard scientists determined that when fat cells are frozen for a specific period of time they crystallize and die while surrounding tissue remains unharmed. This lead to the development of Coolsculpting, a medical procedure that is safe, effective, and can be done with minimal discomfort. A Coolsculpting treatment involves the application of various sized cooling plates, each being applied for one hour. The handpiece is then applied to subsequent areas to complete the treatment. This is known as a cycle and up to four cycles can be done in a treatment session. After the treatment the fat is gradually cleared from the body over the next few weeks.
THOSE FAT CELLS ARE PERMANENTLY GONE!
Results become noticeable at about four weeks, are most dramatic after eight weeks, and continue to develop for up to four months.
Coolsculpting is most often used to target fat on the abdomen, the outer thighs, and the flanks. Other areas that patients commonly seek out include back fat, manboobs, inner thighs, and arms. In most cases only one treatment is required, although patients looking to de-bulk may require a second round. If you are within thirty pounds of your ideal weight you could be a candidate for Coolsculpting.
WE HAVE PERFORMED MORE THAN 1,100 COOLSCULPTING TREATMENTS!
Skinpossible has been offering Ultrashape treatments since 2010 and at one time we were among the top ten Ultrashape clinics in Canada. We perform very few Ultrashape treatments anymore, however. Since adding Coolsculpting to our menu of services, we consider it a much better solution for most people. We have found that Coolsculpting can get rid of much more fat than Ultrashape can. For people who are too lean to be candidates for Coolsculpting, we do still offer Ultrashape, and we perform a very thorough treatment.
While neither Ultrashape nor Coolsculpting require downtime, they are both time consuming treatments. For the convenience of our patients we recently acquired a second Coolsculpting machine. This allows us to treat two areas at the same time for faster treatment times. Skinpossible is the only clinic in Alberta to offer Dualsculping!
