Non-Surgical Fat Removal Melbourne

Every person has different needs, and due to this, we tailor every non-surgical fat reduction to the patient. With this in mind, you will need to have a consultation with us before you schedule your treatment session. This will help us to make sure you are a good candidate and develop a plan suited to your needs. During this initial appointment, we will discuss your health, areas you wish to target, as well as your reasons for wanting non-surgical fat removal. We will evaluate your condition and outline a path to non-surgical fat reduction that is best for you. At the same time, you will be able to ask any questions and raise any concerns you may have.

Once we have settled on a treatment plan, you will be able to schedule your treatment session.

Non-surgical fat reduction works by transmitting heat into the chosen area to target the fat cells under the skin. The heat causes damage to fat cells and triggers the body’s natural healing response. In general, the process can be ideal for addressing fat build-up around the belly, arms, back, chest, inner thighs, and knees.

RF energy achieves an average of 24 percent reduction in fat thickness during non-surgical fat reduction. The aim is to permanently damage the fat cells to then be processed and removed by the body. Although RF energy kills fat cells, the device will not cause damage to the surrounding structures.

Generally, non-surgical fat removal is done without anaesthesia. The fat layer is heated to between 46 and 48 degrees celsius. You may feel a slight warming, but most patients find the process to be comfortable. If the heat becomes too much, the heat level can be reduced. The process leads the cells to shrink in size and essentially liquify. By causing fat cells to melt and flatten, non-surgical fat removal helps you achieve your ideal body shape.

Due to the nature of RF energy, the treatment works upwards from the fat cells beneath the skin to the surface. In other words, it begins by targeting your subcutaneous fat and moves upwards to affect the dermis and epidermis. This achieves effective non-surgical fat reduction as well as improved ability to produce collagen. By comparison, other treatment methods work from the surface downwards, which can cause patients more discomfort.

Afterwards, the lymphatic system absorbs these dead cells and excretes them from the body. This can take upwards of 12 weeks. Skin is left tightened and firm for a more defined silhouette.

During non-surgical fat reduction, patients will have a blend of treatments to achieve the best results. We use multi-wavelength light therapy on Melbourne’s only full-body LED bed. This further assists the fat cells to flush from the body and improves blood flow.

Our clinicians use the most advanced techniques to give you a beautifully contoured physique. Patients walk away from their non-surgical fat removal with boosted circulation and a heightened sense of well-being. Some patients may need more than one session to attain the body contours they desire. Typically, RF fat removal can be applied once a week to the same area. If you wish to have less time between each session, we can discuss your options during your consultation.

This process is a gentle and non-invasive fat removal procedure. Most patients do not feel pain during their treatment, and recovery is often quick. This means you will not need downtime. However, there are things you can do before and after to optimise your results. For example, it is always a good idea to have a healthy diet and lifestyle. Also, before your non-surgical fat reduction, patients should drink lots of water and avoid caffeine.

Straight after the treatment, your skin will be more sensitive than usual. This means whilst non-surgical fat removal is gentler than other treatments, you will still need to take care of your treated area. You may be given aftercare instructions to aid in your recovery. Adhering to these instructions will help you see great results as well as reduce any risks.

After your non-surgical fat reduction, you may need to:

• Refrain from having hot showers straight after treatment
• Refrain from strenuous activities
• Avoid direct sunlight
• Avoid heat exposure

Most patients will start to see results straight after their treatment. However, it may take some time for the fat cells to drain from your system. Collagen also will take time to renew in the skin. As a result, patients will often see gradual improvement, especially after multiple sessions.

To have a non-surgical fat reduction is a very personal decision. We tailor our approach to the needs of each patient, bearing in mind your medical history and goals for your body. Your treatment session may be longer or more complex depending on the size of the area being targeted. It can also depend on the amount of fat you are wishing to remove. Some patients may wish to undergo a series of treatments to gain their desired fat removal results. Due to the personal nature of this treatment, the cost of a non-surgical fat removal procedure can vary from person to person. Our staff can answer any questions you may have about costs.

RF fat reduction is a low-risk and gentle treatment. However, like any procedure, non-surgical fat removal comes with some risks. In order to weigh the risks and benefits, it is important to do your research and understand the potential side effects. This will help you make an informed decision about your desired treatment.

Although you can expect a fast recovery, RF fat reduction can cause some mild negative symptoms. This can include slight discomfort and tenderness in the area. Other mild side effects can occur, such as:

• Swelling
• Redness
• Sensitivity
• Bruising
• Tingling

Severe side effects are not common, but they can occur in rare cases. Adhering to your at-home skincare instructions will reduce any risks and help you achieve an optimal result.
