When faced with many popular weight loss devices on the market, it is crucial to understand the characteristics, applicable parts and potential disadvantages of each device. Today we will mainly learn about the weight loss machines based on these three principles: Cryolipolysis Slimming, Vacuum RF Slimming, and Ultrasonic Cavitation fat reduction.
Cryolipolysis Slimming, also known as fat freezing, is a technology that targets the fact that fat cells are particularly sensitive to low temperatures (triglycerides can be converted into solids at low temperatures of around 5°C) while adjacent tissue cells (vascular cells, peripheral nerve cells, melanocytes, fibroblasts, etc.) are less sensitive to low temperatures.
It uses a non-invasive method and a specific instrument to selectively cool local parts of the body with low temperatures. Triglycerides are converted from liquid to solid, and die after crystallization and aging. They are excreted from the body through metabolism, and body fat is gradually reduced, thereby eliminating fat cells in designated areas in a targeted manner, achieving a body-shaping effect of localized fat dissolution.
Is cryolipolysis suitable for everyone?
Experts emphasize that cryolipolysis is only suitable for local weight loss. It is often used in the abdomen, hip waist, buttocks, thighs, upper buttocks, calves, jaw and neck. It is suitable for some people who have a reasonable diet and maintain good exercise habits, but still have local fat and want to have a better figure. But the following people are not suitable for cryolipolysis.
● People with systemic obesity and overweight;
● Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding;
● People with liver dysfunction;
● People with cold agglutinin disease, paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria or cryoglobulinemia;
● People with open or infected wounds, skin diseases, bleeding diseases, and those who use any implanted devices need to communicate with the doctor to determine whether it can be performed.
Advantages
Flexible, less painful and safer than liposuction, you can leave immediately after the treatment, no recovery period; good effect, not easy to rebound. Cryolipolysis can directly destroy fat cells and reduce the number of fat cells, so if you don’t eat and drink too much after the treatment to expand the fat cells, the effect can be maintained.
Disadvantages
Painful, you will shiver with cold in the first 5 minutes of the operation, and the massage afterwards is also very painful. Some people will have a 1-2 week pain period during the recovery period. There is a 0.025% probability of abnormal fat hyperplasia. The cycle is long. The best effect will only appear after 2 or 3 months, and the waiting time is long. And if you want to achieve the ideal state, one time is not enough.
Vacuum RF Slimming
Vacuum RF Slimming therapy, as a non-invasive treatment based on scientific research, is widely used in areas where fat accumulates, such as the thighs, knees, buttocks,abdomen and upper arms. The therapy effectively removes fat and muscle tissue by creating a vacuum environment in these areas, thereby promoting blood circulation,activating lymphatic drainage, and enhancing the effects of massage or exercise. Its operating principle is similar to the ancient Chinese “cupping” therapy, which has nowbecome a highly respected alternative weight loss method.
Which parts of the body are suitable for Vacuum RF Slimming？
Most parts of the body, such as the face (double chin, etc.), back, waist, abdomen (swimming ring, bucket waist, local obesity, etc.), buttocks, limbs (butterfly sleeves, elephant legs, etc.), can not only solve the accumulation of local fat, but also effectively improve local cellulite. While reducing fat, Vacuum RF Slimming can also improve skin sagging.
Advantages
The biggest advantage of Vacuum RF Slimming is that it avoids the risk of hot spots in the heating area, which may cause skin burns, ensuring that the treatment is easy and safe. While the radio frequency instrument dissolves fat, it shrinks the dermis, subcutaneous fascia, and diaphragm in three dimensions, and the skin firmness can be increased by 40%. It can not only tighten the loose skin, but also solve the problem of cellulite.
Disadvantages
The common problem of this type of non-liposuction fat removal surgery is that it takes a relatively long time to take effect. It requires multiple treatments to achieve the desired effect, and the effect is not as obvious as liposuction.
Ultrasonic Cavitation Fat Reduction
Ultrasonic Cavitation fat reduction therapy is also a non-invasive fat reduction procedure that does not require surgery or needle intervention. It uses ultrasound technology to precisely reduce fat cells in specific parts of the body. The therapy is easy to operate and relies solely on the power of sound waves to promote the discharge of body fat,avoiding the tediousness and risks of traditional surgery.
Ultrasonic waves vibrate in the liquid to cause microbubbles, which produce implosion (cavitation effect) under external pressure. The implosion causes the fat cell membrane to break locally and open a small hole, which promotes the discharge of lipids from fat cells, reduces the volume of fat, and achieves local fat reduction. Under the action of ultrasound, the water droplets in the cells swell and burst.
A small hole is “exploded” in the fat cell membrane, and the fat droplets in the fat cells swim out.
More importantly, ultrasound heats the local fat to 46 to 48 degrees.
The thermal effect can promote the escape of fat droplets, and the fat droplets return to the blood through the lymphatic circulation. Under the action of external drainage, the lymphatic system is stimulated to discharge excess waste and lipids, promoting local blood circulation.
Safety of Ultrasound Fat Reduction
Ultrasound fat reduction only destroys the cell membrane of fat cells, while the cell membrane of surrounding nerves or blood vessels remains intact. Therefore, the local skin feels warm during the treatment, which is quite comfortable. Moreover, there is no rebound, and the destroyed fat cells will not have the phenomenon of fat re-accumulation.
Vacuum RF vs Ultrasonic Cavitation: Which to use first?
When choosing the order of use of vacuum RF and ultrasonic cavitation fat reduction therapy, the ultrasonic cavitation head should be the first choice. After any form of pretreatment (including simple manual massage), fat tissue will become softer. If the fat tissue is initially hard, the resonance effect of the ultrasonic cavitation wave on the fat cell membrane will be more significant, helping to further soften the fat tissue.
Then, the vacuum RF head is used for further treatment. After the ultrasonic cavitation fat reduction operation, some fat cells have been destroyed or damaged, but some remain intact. At this time, the suction of the vacuum RF head is used to pull up the tissue and continuously pull the tissue during its movement. This action will effectively destroy the supporting structure around the fat tissue, making the fat cells easier to metabolize. At the same time. the back and forth movement of the vacuum RF head also helps to redistribute unprecipitated fat cells, further improving the body lines.
The best way to lose belly fat is not running. Although running can increase activity metabolism and promote the reduction of body fat percentage, many people find that waist and abdominal fat will persist and cannot restore a flat belly. The best way to reduce belly fat is to adjust your diet with the help of weight loss equipment. Correct eating habits can reduce body fat and restore a flat belly.
