The Most Effective Weight Loss Procedures

Get rid of excess fat and weight

In addition to areas such as the abdomen, hips and waist, fat in the face area, under the chin, inside the arms and legs, inside the thighs, inside the knees, ankles and legs can be a problem for women due to their stubborn features.

The laser lipolysis method can help with lubrication and weight problems. Laser lipolysis is a method that aims to explode the membrane of the fat cell directly with laser light. With this application, which helps in the treatment of regional fat and skin laxity, it is aimed to save the person in a single session with local anesthesia, without bleeding and without affecting the social life much.

The lipolysis method, called Smartlipo, slimlipo, not only reduces the fat accumulated under the skin, but also aims to make the skin look more taut and younger by increasing the collagen production in the skin. Laser lipolysis is also used under the armpit to eliminate sweating.

Laser lipolysis is a body shaping process that prevents bleeding, promises a short recovery time and has a short bandaging time. Since the incision made for the application is 1-2 mm in size, there is almost no scar. You can easily return to work or social life after the procedure, and the result is seen within 1-2 months.

There are basically three effects in the area where laser lipolysis is applied. In laser lipolysis, the membrane integrity of the fat cells in this region is disrupted as a result of the photomechanical effect in the region where the laser light comes out of the cannula. The dead adipose tissue can be left in that area or it can be sucked out with the help of a thin cannula at a low pressure. The photothermal effect in the area just outside the area where the photomechanical effect occurs, causes coagulation in the thin veins in this area. As a result of this effect, bleeding during or after the procedure is prevented and no bruising is ensured after the application. It creates a photostimulation effect in the area just outside the area where the photothermal effect occurs. In the areas where this effect is seen, collagen synthesis is stimulated and new connective tissue formation is provided. As a result of this effect, it is aimed to achieve a significant recovery and stretching of the applied skin.

After the application, it is sufficient to wear a corset for only 2-7 days depending on the region. In addition, it can be applied to all body parts, including areas such as the inside of the arms, under the chin, neck, upper abdomen, back and ankles, where body shaping is difficult with classical liposuction methods. Fat cells destroyed during the application do not come back, but if the patient takes more calories than necessary, there may be a possibility of an increase in volume in the remaining fat cells. If this happens, you need to do the process again. For this reason, patients are advised to do sports after the application and to reduce their excessive food intake, if any.

Slim your legs

Zerona regional thinning laser is one of the applications that provide regional thinning with low energy laser. Zerona, with the energy it gives to the area it is applied, aims to melt the fat stored inside and remove it from the cell without causing any damage to the fat cell. Fats that have come out of the cell are taken by the lymphatic system, added to the circulation and removed from the body. Treatment time is 20 minutes per session for each area. This method, which does not require any anesthesia procedure, is applied in the form of cures consisting of 9-12 sessions, including at least three sessions per week. After a cure, an average of 5-6 cm thinning is expected in the hips, waist and hips.

Exercise is also important in order to remove the fat removed from the cell during the treatment by joining the circulation from the body. Taking a 30-minute walk on the day following each session and preferably after the session helps to get a good result. In addition, it is recommended to drink 8-10 glasses of water a day, as the body’s water level is saturated and it facilitates fat excretion. With Zerona, the regional thinning application can be taken as a desired number of sessions until the desired thinness is reached. It can be applied to any body area.

Get rid of excess

Liposhaping; A method that can be applied to every part of the body to remove fat deposits and shape body contours. It helps to thin out stubborn belly fat, excess that creates the appearance of jockey pants, above knees, inside of legs, ankles, waistline, jowl area, underarm fat and even back fat that creates bra marks.

Patients prefer this method because it is a less painful method with short results. The main difference of the concept of liposhaping from liposuction is the size of the cannulas used in the procedure and the ratio of the amount of fluid given under the skin to the amount absorbed. Liposhaping is performed with much thinner microcannulas, usually using twice the amount of fluid used in other techniques.

Tighten your body

Nobody wants time to age their body. We all want to have a slightly firmer and slightly firmer body than we are now. One of the methods to be used for this is the Thermage application.

Thermage applications help you have a younger-looking skin that is tightened and contoured without the need for surgery or needles. The results of the treatment begin to be seen after the application and the effect increases and lasts up to six months.

This application helps to tighten collagen, to achieve smooth skin on the abdomen, legs, knees, hips and arms, and to tighten the body. Many women find it difficult to regain their former body shape after pregnancy or weight loss. The sagging and loosened skin is not easily restored. Thermage helps to tighten, firm and shape the arms, hips and abdomen.

The application called Thermage CPT, on the other hand, cools the surface of the skin and instantly rises to high temperature under the skin. This high temperature is perceived by the skin as a damage and the repair mechanisms begin to work, the skin tightens and regenerates.

The Thermage system has different special heads for hip, leg, abdomen, arm and cellulite problems, and the procedure takes approximately one hour for each area. Pain may be felt during the application, but there is no redness, bruising or sun ban after the procedure. Immediately after the treatment, some stretching and tightening of the skin is observed. However, it is extremely important to inform the patient well about the system. It should be clearly explained that the main effects will be seen after a few months.

Other Tips on Weight Loss and Body Shaping

• Demand for body shaping surgeries has increased in recent years. The most well-known of these surgeries is vacuum liposuction, that is, ‘liposuction’. This technique, which has been applied for many years, has some innovations such as laser and ultrasound applications along with the developments in technology. Again in recent years, vacuum degreasing method; With the development of surgical techniques, anesthesia, devices and cannulas, it has become a more refined and successful application, while its risks have decreased considerably.
• Apart from vacuum liposuction surgeries, surgical techniques applied by removing tissue are also among the basic operations of body shaping. They can be used mostly in the abdomen and less frequently in areas such as arms and legs.

• These surgeries can be performed in patients who do not have serious underlying health problems. However, patient selection and planning are important. Remember, none of these surgeries are used for weight control, but can be considered support in weight control.
• Vacuum liposuction is a contour surgery operation and the ideal patients for this are those who are close to their normal weight but have regional problems. Tissue removal surgeries are performed on deformities and sagging caused by weight gain and loss, and excess skin and adipose tissue are removed with an incision.
• It should not be forgotten that every surgery is a healing process. After these surgeries, after about a week of rest, patients can slowly start their normal daily activities. Depending on the width and shape of the surgery and the anesthesia applied, patients can return to normal after a short time. However, the full result is obtained in an average of 6 months to 1 year, when the edema completely disappears and the scars take their final form. Although possible complications in surgeries are very rare, they can affect the recovery time.
• After these surgeries, patients should especially avoid excessive weight gain.
• As every surgery has risks and recovery times, the same is true for these surgeries. It should not be forgotten that plastic surgeons do not have a magic wand.
