Liposuction methods. Non-surgical liposuction - new methods of getting rid of fat. Cold lipolysis using laser

Modern cosmetology offers new methods of losing excess weight without surgery, which are safe and effective. If you are afraid or simply not ready to cooperate with a plastic surgeon and want to solve the problem more “softly,” then you should try to get rid of fat deposits using innovative methods. Non-surgical liposuction is a series of non-invasive procedures that can destroy fatty tissue without the participation of a surgeon. Cosmetic clinics and beauty salons today offer a wide range of techniques to suit every taste and budget.

How to lose weight quickly and safely

Lipolysis is a process in which the outer membrane of fat cells is destroyed, and the products of their breakdown are removed from the body using the lymphatic system. For this process to be started. Diets and exercise cannot effectively combat fat deposits on the knees, abdomen, back, buttocks, and thighs. And therefore, in these cases, it is better to choose a method that will solve the problem point-by-point, that is, use targeted lipolysis. And hardware or injection procedures can help with this.

To choose the right method, you need to contact a specialist who will assess the complexity of the situation and find the best option for you.

Advantages and disadvantages

Before opting for non-surgical liposuction, many patients wonder how productive it is and what results can actually be achieved. It is worth noting that surgical intervention gives a more pronounced effect and in just 1 session, without the intervention of a surgeon, you will have to remove the deposits by going through a course of therapy, which will take a certain amount of time.
But there are also visible advantages - safety and comfort:

the use of general anesthesia is excluded;
no injuries remain on the skin;
no long-term rehabilitation required;
There is no pronounced pain or discomfort.

for whom any surgery is contraindicated or prohibited for medical reasons;
with small fat deposits on problem parts of the body;
who value their time and are not ready to spend it on the recovery process.

Also, this technique is suitable for those who want to quickly get in shape without strict restrictions and heavy loads.

Non-surgical liposuction: hardware procedures

In this case, special equipment is used to conduct a weight loss session, which directly affects problem areas.

Vacuum massage

A special attachment helps increase blood flow, lymph circulation, enriches cells with oxygen and increases muscle tone. Fat tissue is destroyed, and the resulting mass is excreted by the kidneys in the urine. Massage also works well against “traps” that hold fat, but only in the initial stages, when the connective tissue has not yet become strong, strong and easily susceptible to harmful external influences. Course – 5 procedures.

LPG massage

For this procedure, special equipment is used, which is equipped with vacuum nozzles and special rollers. Before the procedure begins, the person is dressed in a suit that helps improve the operation of the attachment. This technique is characterized by the absence of unpleasant sensations and bruises on the skin. To obtain maximum effect, a course of 15 procedures is recommended at short intervals. The final number of sessions is calculated by the specialist after analyzing the complexity of the situation and the individual characteristics of the patient.

Ultrasonic liposuction (cavitation)

This technique involves using ultrasonic waves, under the influence of which a bubble is formed inside the fat cell, negatively affecting it and causing it to burst. Decomposition products are eliminated by the lymphatic system.

In terms of effectiveness, experts compare this procedure with surgical liposuction, which does not leave any marks on the skin. Cavitation shows maximum effectiveness in the area of breeches, abdomen, buttocks, and sides. To achieve better results, this method is recommended to be combined with thermolifting and lymphatic drainage massage. This will help not only remove excess fat, but also improve skin tone, remove toxins and impurities.

A full course of ultrasonic liposuction includes from 4 to 8 sessions, which are carried out at intervals of a week. To avoid stress on organs such as the liver and kidneys, it is allowed to simultaneously perform the procedure only on two pre-selected areas.

Cold lipolysis using laser

This is a method that is carried out using cold spectrum laser radiation. The essence of the method is to cool the treated area of the body. The cosmetologist selects the correct wavelength, which affects only fatty tissue. The impact of the laser destroys them and removes them naturally. This process is completely similar to regular weight loss. The cold lipolysis technique can be used on any part of the body. The result is visible after the first procedure. To consolidate the effect and increase the final result, you must complete at least 3 sessions.

Electrolipolysis

This method has 2 varieties:

electrode. Applicators are applied to the selected problem area, through which electrical impulses pass. The internal mass of the fat cell is converted into an emulsion state. It is eliminated from tissues naturally. This method is effective in the treatment of cellulite, as it helps smooth out all the unevenness on the skin. Course – 12 sessions with short intervals;
needle. Is more effective. It is worth immediately noting that during the procedure the patient may experience discomfort. Needles 15-20 cm long are inserted under the skin, alternating current is supplied through them, which negatively affects fatty tissue. This method thus provides good lymphatic drainage. Course – 7 sessions with a weekly interval.

Cryolipolysis

A hardware technique that combines the use of vacuum in combination with low temperatures. It helps to correct the abdomen, buttocks, forearms, and thighs on both sides.

The essence of the method is that a special attachment draws in a certain area of the skin and treats it with cold, which destroys fat cells. Course – 4 sessions. The result becomes noticeable after the second procedure.

I'm not afraid of injections or injection methods

To carry out this type of procedure, special lipolytics are mainly used, which are injected under the skin. They can negatively affect the condition of adipose tissue, helping to liquefy it to facilitate the removal of breakdown products through the body's lymphatic system. This method is effective on small volumes or where other methods are contraindicated or simply impossible for technical reasons. For example, these could be:

double chin;
shins;
face;
cervical-shoulder area.

Injection methods are used only if the fat layer is at least 1.5 cm, in order to prevent any damage to neighboring areas. Lipolitics have some contraindications:

problems with blood clotting;
mental disorders;
personal intolerance to the components of the product used, allergic reactions;
malignant neoplasms;
epilepsy;
inflammation in the area where the injection will be given;
chronic illnesses;
viral, infectious diseases;
the presence of stones in the gall bladder;
diabetes;
elevated body temperature.

Before starting the procedure, you must warn the specialist about the presence of the above health problems. Also, injections are not recommended for pregnant and lactating women.

Injections can be done using ozone, which will help correct problem areas through intensive fat burning. Ozone therapy helps:

start the metabolic process in the body;
enrich cells with useful oxygen;
speed up the elimination of toxins.

On average, a full course consists of 7 sessions, but in advanced cases, up to 15 visits to a specialist may be required.

Contraindications

Non-surgical liposuction is a fairly safe way to lose weight, but even in this case there are some limitations that you should be aware of:

pregnancy;
cholelithiasis;
disorders of fat metabolism;
renal, liver failure;
oncology;
lactation;
autoimmune pathologies;
open wounds, unhealed scratches, other damage to the skin;
high blood glucose levels.

If you have vein disease and varicose veins, you cannot perform hardware procedures in the area where the problem manifests itself. Methods using current and radio waves are strictly contraindicated for people with pacemakers, electrical stimulators, or metal implants.

How to increase the effectiveness of lipolysis

To get maximum results and make each method safer, you must follow some rules:

drink at least 2 liters of water per day;
reduce or completely eliminate the consumption of alcoholic beverages, eating sour, smoked, fatty, spicy, as well as starchy foods and anything that can negatively affect the removal of fluid from the body;
it is necessary to remove from the diet or reduce the amount of sweets and starchy foods, since such foods can complicate the work of the liver and increase the load on it.

Also, in combination with the chosen method of non-surgical liposuction, it is recommended to visit the gym, swimming pool, sauna, lead an active lifestyle, and monitor your diet.

Modern beauty standards require sophisticated forms, and every day we struggle with extra centimeters and kilograms. Often this struggle not only does not bring results, but is also harmful to health. That is why liposuction, as a fast, reliable and relatively simple way to correct the figure, is so popular. Moreover, in addition to surgical methods of getting rid of extra centimeters, today there are less invasive ways to combat fat deposits - microsurgical radiofrequency liposuction, as well as quite effective non-surgical techniques.

The specialists of the liposuction center offer you the most complete overview of techniques - from the latest hardware innovations to proven classics of liposuction:

Liposculpture is a new direction of traditional surgical liposuction

Despite the emergence of dozens of new hardware techniques, it is still in demand. Moreover, today this is the lot of the most sophisticated and demanding patients - Hollywood stars, highly paid models, rich and famous socialites. Why? Because liposuction has experienced a rebirth, turning into a jewelry manual technique of body liposculpture.

At the BeautyLine clinic, this method is presented by the famous Italian plastic surgeon Marco Merlin. He performs mini-jewelry operations under local anesthesia. The fat is removed manually using very thin cannulas through tiny punctures. The main advantage of corrections from the Italian maestro of plastic surgery is a fantastically accurate and impeccably beautiful result.

The manual liposuction procedure performed by the famous Dr. Merlin is a guaranteed effect and minimal trauma. No scars, bumps or irregularities - filigree Italian technology of impeccably high quality! Russian patients most often have their facial contours corrected by Professor Merlin (chin, jowls). The second most popular procedure is manual.

Microsurgical liposuction

The high level of equipment of the liposuction center allows us to offer patients the most modern and effective hardware methods for combating fat deposits. Perhaps the most effective of them is the method. This is a unique technique that combines the advantages of surgical and non-surgical liposuction.

It is as radical as surgery (BodyTite allows you to remove up to 6 (!) liters of fat in one session), and in terms of safety and rehabilitation time it is close to some non-invasive methods. At the same time, thanks to a large number of specialized attachments, BodyTite allows you to equally successfully correct the most delicate areas (face, legs, knees) and remove large amounts of fat from the abdomen or thighs.

The main advantage of BodyTite liposuction is the unique double effect of this micro-surgery - you not only remove fat, but also tighten your skin at the same time! For patients over 30-35 years old, this is perhaps the best, if not the only, method that guarantees simultaneous removal of unwanted centimeters and a good tightening. Even sagging skin in older patients - a typical contraindication for liposuction - is not a problem for radiofrequency liposuction, which can be performed at any age!

Its secret is that radio waves not only easily melt fat, which is then sucked out through a thin cannula, but also warm up and tighten the skin. The low invasiveness of the method is ensured by the fact that capillaries damaged during liposuction are immediately coagulated, and virtually no blood loss occurs. This means that this method allows you to remove a significantly larger volume of fat without risk to the patient.

Radiofrequency liposuction at the Beauty Line clinic is performed by one of the most experienced plastic surgeons in this field, Dr. Ageshina. She believes that this method is in many ways similar to, but has several noticeable advantages over it, the main one of which is the effect of simultaneous skin tightening.

Svetlana Evgenievna Ageshina was trained in liposuction using the BodyTite method in Israel, and now she herself conducts master classes on this technique for Russian specialists. She says that in order to clearly show how the skin contracts during the procedure, she asks her trainees to measure the distance between two points on the body (for example, between moles). During the procedure, this distance immediately becomes shorter by 2-3 centimeters, and 2 weeks after it is reduced by another half.

You can learn more about how the liposuction procedure is performed using the BodyTite device on the BeautyLine clinic website.

Three most popular non-surgical techniques

Radiofrequency liposuction Tite-FX uses the same principle of destruction of fat cells as the BodyTite method, but is performed non-surgically. This non-surgical method, like BodyTite, is based on radio wave impulses, but liposuction does not require incisions or punctures - the effect on fatty tissue is only “from the outside”.

Thanks to the radio waves generated by the device, subcutaneous fat is heated to a temperature of 38-43 degrees, and its cells literally “burst” - the membranes of fat cells are destroyed, and their contents are gradually absorbed and eliminated from the body. Radio waves always affect both fat and skin, thickening and tightening it. In addition, after the procedure, the appearance of cellulite and stretch marks on the skin noticeably decrease or completely disappear. The cosmetologist at the BeautyLine liposuction center considers the Tite-FX method to be the most modern and effective.

– non-surgical – perhaps the most common non-surgical lipolysis procedure. This method is completely non-traumatic and comfortable for the patient - no unpleasant sensations arise during liposuction.

Fat cells are gradually destroyed under the influence of ultrasonic waves, and are removed, as with any type of non-surgical liposuction, thanks to the body’s natural cleansing systems. Ultrasonic liposuction does not require any punctures or incisions. The destruction of fat cells occurs gradually and evenly, so after the procedure no irregularities form under the skin. The method refers to “office cosmetology” procedures and does not require any rehabilitation.

- another new technique of non-surgical liposuction. At the Beauty Line clinic, using a high-tech LipoCryo device, they perform not only body liposuction, but also a double chin lift, for which this method is simply ideal.

Like all non-surgical methods, it destroys fat deposits without the use of cuts or punctures, affecting fat cells with low temperatures. The applicator attachment of the LipoCryo device captures the fat fold using vacuum and treats it with cold. At the same time, the temperature of the adipose tissue drops to 4 degrees Celsius, which leads to its destruction. At the same time, such cooling is completely harmless to the skin (after all, in winter, for example, the skin of our face and hands successfully withstands even lower temperatures). The procedure lasts about 30 minutes, fat cells are destroyed, absorbed and utilized by the body within 4-6 weeks.

Liposuction is a widespread cosmetic procedure, the purpose of which is to reduce the volume and change the nature (shape) of fat deposits in various areas of the body.

Liposuction is also considered a bariatric technique, i.e., procedures used to treat obesity. Strictly speaking, this is not entirely true, since liposuction does not affect the causes and pathogenesis of the disease. However, the cosmetic effect from it may be more significant than when trying to get rid of extra pounds using other more conservative methods.

Liposuction methods

Important:During the procedure, it is possible to pump out up to 2 liters of fat deposits.

Women most often resort to liposuction of the thighs (to eliminate the so-called “breeches”), and also ask cosmetic surgeons to eliminate unwanted deposits in the buttocks, abdomen, waist and forearm. The chin liposuction procedure is very popular among clinic patients.

Men, as a rule, want to eliminate excess fat in the neck, chest, as well as on the stomach and buttocks.

Currently, several fat removal techniques are used in clinics.

Modern techniques include the following types of liposuction:

ultrasonic liposuction (traditional and non-invasive);
laser liposuction;
radiofrequency liposuction (RF).

Indications for liposuction

Indications for the procedure are the presence of noticeable local deposits of lipid tissue, which cannot be removed by conservative methods such as regular exercise and following a restrictive diet.

It is desirable that the patient has good general health and sufficiently elastic skin. Under such conditions, the cosmetic effect will be maximum, and the likelihood of complications will be reduced to zero.

If the skin is loose, then after a cosmetic procedure it may sag; To eliminate such consequences, additional surgical intervention is often required.

Note:The best results from liposuction can be achieved in patients whose height is average or slightly above average.

Preparation for liposuction

An objective assessment of the volume of excess lipid tissue is carried out by a qualified plastic surgeon. The main task of the specialist in the preoperative period is preliminary modeling of the patient’s figure, identifying the area with the greatest accumulation of fat.

Before undergoing liposuction, the patient must undergo a full examination and undergo a series of tests.

It is imperative to consult a therapist, do an ECG and undergo fluorography.

Tests that need to be taken during preparation for a cosmetic procedure:

and (B and C);

10 days before the procedure, it is strictly forbidden to take medications that affect blood clotting, and smoking is not recommended. It is also advisable to carry out intestinal cleansing in the clinic.

The duration of the manipulations directly depends on the technique and scope of the intervention. Liposuction lasts from 30 minutes to 2-3 hours.

Contraindications to liposuction

Liposuction, like most other medical procedures, has a number of contraindications.

The procedure is not performed on patients diagnosed with:

serious chronic diseases;
exacerbation of chronic diseases;
other pathologies of the cardiovascular system,
blood clotting disorders (for invasive techniques);
malignant neoplasms;
active form;
acute infectious diseases (including ARVI);
mental illness;
endocrine pathologies;
decreased immunity due to hormonal therapy.

Liposuction is also contraindicated for women during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Until relatively recently, to pump out fat, surgeons had to make fairly large incisions, which increased the risk of bleeding. In addition, a rather traumatic operation was carried out only under general anesthesia, and anesthesia not only lengthens the rehabilitation period, but can also cause the development of complications from the respiratory and cardiovascular systems.

Currently, the tumescent technique is widely used. During the operation, one or more small incisions are made through which microcannulas are inserted under the skin to pump out lipid deposits. The relatively small invasiveness of the manipulation made it possible to perform it under local anesthesia, sometimes supplemented by intravenous administration of sedatives. This not only shortened the postoperative period, but also allowed patients to remain conscious during the operation and, if necessary, comply with the doctor’s requests.

The widespread use of the technique was facilitated by the development of a special composition consisting of saline solution, lidocaine, antibiotic and adrenaline. Before surgery, this solution is injected under pressure into the subcutaneous fat tissue directly in the area from which the fat will be pumped out. In this case, the volume of injected liquid should be approximately equal to the volume of fat that is supposed to be pumped out.

The composition of the drug used allows you to achieve high-quality anesthesia, minimize the risk of bleeding and prevent the development of infectious complications. Moreover, interacting with fat, this mixture turns adipose tissue into an emulsion, which makes it easy to pump out unwanted deposits using the vacuum method. To pump out fat, low-traumatic thin cannulas are used, ensuring the accuracy of the procedure and the absence of bruises, seromas and large scars after it.

Note: An important point when performing tumescent liposuction is the complete removal of emulsified adipose tissue. Failure to comply with this condition will result in the appearance of significant depressions on the patient’s body.

In most cases, the patient can leave the clinic a few hours after the procedure is completed. Full recovery usually takes only 3-4 days, after which the person returns to his usual active life.

The ultrasound liposuction technique involves exposing lipid deposits to high-frequency sound vibrations. Under their influence, the cells of the fat layer (adipocytes) are destroyed, turning into an emulsion.

An undoubted advantage of the ultrasound technique is the ability to prevent blood loss, scars, as well as the formation of irregularities in the form of pits and bumps. The most commonly performed ultrasound liposuction is the thighs, abdomen and facial area (chin). During the procedure, the effect of skin tightening is achieved.

During traditional ultrasonic liposuction, emulsified fat (lysate) is pumped out using a device that creates reduced pressure (vacuum suction). To do this, thin titanium cannulas are inserted into small incisions in the skin. In one session, up to 1.5 liters of fat are removed.

There is an innovative non-invasive technique that involves removing destroyed lipid tissue through the circulatory and lymphatic system. It does not require any incisions, which eliminates the possibility of complications such as inflammation, suppuration and the formation of postoperative scars.

Note:a non-invasive method is used to remove small deposits (for example, with chin liposuction). A large amount of fat requires its removal in several stages, since during one session when using this ultrasonic liposuction technique, no more than 500 ml is pumped out.

The best effect is achieved by combining non-invasive ultrasonic liposuction with massage procedures and lymphatic drainage performed regularly after the procedure. Positive changes are fully manifested after a month, when lipids, decomposed into simpler chemical compounds, are finally removed from the patient’s body.

Important:with a general increase in body weight (in particular, with a tendency to obesity), the positive effect quickly disappears. In this regard, patients are advised to maintain minimal consumption of fatty foods, etc. "fast" carbohydrates.

A number of leading clinics currently practice non-invasive liposuction using the Ultrashape device. This device generates a powerful directed stream of ultrasonic vibrations. The unique scanning system optimally distributes energy, eliminating negative effects on surrounding tissue. Impact zones (from 125 to 315 sq. cm) are determined by the replaceable devices included with the device. If there are significant fat deposits, cosmetologists advise the patient to undergo from 3 to 8 sessions, the interval between which should be 3-4 weeks. The procedure is absolutely painless, so even local anesthesia is not required in this case.

After non-invasive ultrasound liposuction, you should follow a drinking regime with at least 2 liters of fluid consumed throughout the day. This will allow the body to quickly get rid of destroyed fat cells.

Important:Ultrasonic liposuction is not performed if the patient has endoprostheses or a pacemaker. Contraindications are also , skin diseases in the area of intended exposureand decompensated form of diabetes mellitus.

Laser liposuction is the most innovative and promising method of getting rid of excess subcutaneous fat deposits. It is based on the ability of laser radiation to selectively and very delicately affect the cell membranes of adipocytes. The diameter of the fat removal tube is only 1 mm, so during the procedure, not an incision is made, but a puncture.

Since the beam is able to instantly “seal” damaged blood vessels, complications in the form of postoperative hematomas also do not develop. The radiation stimulates collagen synthesis, so at the same time a lifting effect (skin tightening) is achieved.

With non-surgical lipolysis, which is performed on small areas of the body, there is no need to pump out the lysate. The contents of destroyed adipocytes enter the bloodstream, are broken down into simple compounds in the liver and are excreted naturally. Laser lipolysis leaves no traces in the form of scars

This technique allows you to eliminate deposits in such difficult areas for a doctor as the upper abdomen, neck and forearms. Laser liposuction of the chin also provides an excellent cosmetic effect.

Radiofrequency liposuction

This technique involves burning fat through radio waves. It warms up the adipocytes, turning them into a homogeneous substance that is easily sucked off. The advantage of the technique is the parallel achievement of a lifting effect by stimulating collagen synthesis.

For a month, avoid significant physical activity and refrain from visiting baths, saunas and solariums.
Get massage and lymphatic drainage sessions.
Organize a balanced diet, eliminating from the diet foods that contribute to gaining extra pounds.
For 1-2 months, wear special compression garments, which will complete the process of forming new body contours.

Myths and truth about liposuction: experts talk about them in this video review:

Plisov Vladimir, medical observer

Many men and women, having tried a variety of ways to combat fat deposits, finally come to liposuction - a surgical operation to remove accumulations of fat.

Today we will talk to you about what liposuction is, what liposuction techniques are the most popular in Russia and what are their advantages and fundamental differences.

So, liposuction is a fairly radical and very effective method with which you can remove excess fat from the abdomen, chest, back, hips, pubis, arms, and even from some areas of the face, such as the cheeks or chin. However, liposuction may not help everyone, as there are various contraindications to this operation. Liposuction is not performed on minors, people with diabetes, and patients with complete loss of skin elasticity. You should also refrain from surgical intervention in the presence of certain chronic diseases or during periods of acute manifestations of inflammatory processes.

Nowadays, quite a lot of different liposuction techniques have been developed all over the world, but in our country the most widespread are vacuum, tumescent and ultrasound techniques.

Vacuum liposuction.

The most accessible method for most Russians is the vacuum liposuction method. . During vacuum liposuction, a special needle is inserted into the subcutaneous fat layer, which serves to destroy fat deposits. They are immediately removed using a vacuum device, which allows the patient to get rid of 10 liters of fat in one session.

Ultrasonic liposuction

Ultrasonic liposuction is less traumatic, since the destruction of fat cells in this case is carried out through the action of ultrasonic waves . In this case, there is no need to make tissue incisions, and the fluid formed as a result of cell destruction can leave the body naturally. There are no postoperative scars or hematomas, but the effectiveness of this procedure is somewhat lower than with vacuum liposuction, so several sessions may be needed to achieve the desired result. In some cases, during sonic liposuction, incisions are still made in order to act on fat deposits more effectively.

Tumescent liposuction

Tumescent liposuction is fundamentally different from the methods described above in preoperative preparation. , informs the site. First, a special solution is injected into the area of fat deposits, which causes compression of the blood vessels and swelling of fat deposits. This preliminary preparation ensures the effectiveness of the effect specifically on fat cells.

If general anesthesia is used for vacuum liposuction, then only local anesthesia is used for tumescent liposuction. It should also be taken into account that tumescent and ultrasonic liposuction do not require a long stay in the hospital: a few hours after the procedure the patient is sent home. When using surgical techniques, the postoperative period lasts up to three weeks, during which pain, hematomas, and swelling may be observed. According to plastic surgeons, you will be able to fully appreciate the effectiveness of removing excess fat during liposuction only after 5-6 months, although the first results will be noticeable after 10-14 days.
