Non-Invasive Lipo - real or fake?

No, I don't recommend attempting to do this type of treatment yourself. These types of treatments should be done by a professional. You have a few options. Coolsculpting is good for stubborn areas of fat and gets good results in combination with radiofrequency treatments like Vanquish, Venus Legacy, Exilis Ultra for skin tightening and with Z wave/Cellutone for skin smoothing. VASER liposuction with ThermiRF is a great alternative. See an expert for a formal evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer

Real tumescent liposuction is still the best answer for contouring the areas but sometimes you can get a few little waviness or uneven spots after liposuction which respond very well to the noninvasive lipo treatments such as Body FX 3rd generation Radiofrequency. On their own, most noninvasive lipo treatments which are usually done in a series of 6 weekly treatments gives minimal results.

Hi BuddingtonBear,

Non invasives can help for small areas, if you are pinching an area and you can grab a handful you will likely be disappointed.  Non invasives sound attractive to consumers but it relies on your body's ability to remove fat vs a lipo procedure where the fat is extracted from the body and you know that it is permanently removed.  Downtime is very minimal with liposculpture and results can be life changing.  If that is what you are looking for, hands down minimally invasive liposculpture.  

Hope this helps!
