When you’re working hard to alter your diet and maintain an exercise routine, it can be disheartening to reach a plateau on the scale. If you’re not yet happy with your progress, you might be researching other weight loss options, such as liposuction or body sculpting. To learn more about these methods and figure out which one is right for you, take a look at this comparison.

Liposuction

For this weight loss procedure, a surgeon must make incisions in the treatment area and use them to insert a narrow, straw-like tube. This component, called a cannula, uses suction to remove fat cells from the body. Liposuction is a surgical process that requires the patient to be unconscious through the use of general anesthesia. Once the excess fat has been removed, the patient is stitched up and will need a few weeks to recover.

Body Sculpting

This is a noninvasive weight loss solution, so you won’t need to fast for hours or spend weeks avoiding physical activity. Instead of internal suction, body sculpting relies on the external application of light to remove fat. One of these methods, UltraSlim®, uses a special tool to shine red light beams on your target areas.

The red light doesn’t damage the skin like a laser but shines through to the fat cells under the skin, emptying them of triglycerides and fatty acids. Once these cells are dead, the body will dispose of them naturally. Since UltraSlim only takes around half an hour and doesn’t require surgery, you can go back to work or get on with your to-do list the same day.
