Can Meso-CRF replace liposuction, smart lipo or vaser?
Liposuction, laser lipolysis, ultrasound lipolysis: radical results, but at a price (more suitable for larger fat deposits)
Liposuction, and mini-lipo procedures, such as smart lipo and vaser, remove fat tissue (and the actual "fat" these tissues contain) from the body in a quick operation, typically lasting 1-3 hours. Liposuction, laser liposuction (smart lipo) or ultrasound liposuction (vaser lipo) are radical, instant procedures which lead to a typical loss of 1-5kg of fat tissue on the same day.
However, contrary to popular belief, their results take several weeks or months to manifest, due to the swelling, scar tissue and bruising these procedures cause. Liposuction is more suited to large amounts of fat, while laser/ultrasound lipo are more suited to medium amounts of fat.
While bruising disappears in about a month after surgery, in most cases scarring / skin hardening persists for months and even years after lipo or mini-lipo procedures. In addition, as with all surgical procedures, there is always the risk of infection or reaction to the anesthesia and other drugs used for surgery. Pain levels vary between individuals, but are quite significant the first seven days after the procedure.
Liposuction, in particular, leaves skin looking loose after the removal of the excess fat that used to keep it taught before surgery. Laser liposuction and ultrasound liposuction, attempt to remedy this skin looseness by coagulating the connective tissue under the skin with a laser or ultrasound tip, respectively. However, this tissue coagulation quite often ends up causing uneven hardening (scar tissue), which is not very pleasing to the eye or to the touch.
Furthermore, liposuction, vaser and smart lipo do not affect cellulite - in fact they actually make cellulite look worse. This is because cellulite is part of the skin itself and cannot be removed surgically. Lipo surgery removes the underlying fat, but not the cellulite, and the latter actually looks worse after surgery due to the skin loosening effect, described above.
Finally, liposuction, and to a lesser extent smart lipo and vaser, requires significant downtime, typically a week for liposuction and three days for smart lipo and vaser.
If you indeed suffer from large amount of local fat deposits and decide to remove them with liposuction, vaser or smart lipo we will be happy to see you 4-6 weeks after the operation, in order to help you tighten up the excess loose skin and remove cellulite.
Meso-CRF: gradual results, naturally (ideal for smaller fat deposits)
In contrast, Meso-CRF, a non-surgical, non-intrusive procedure based on the combined use of monopolar radiofrequency, cavitation and needle-free mesotherapy has no side-effects and is pleasant and relaxing. Meso-CRF gradually breaks down fat tissue and cellulite and at the same time tightens the collagen structure, ensuring that fat and inch loss coincides with skin tightening and cellulite reduction. All these effects take place without the bruising, pain, injections, incisions, scars and swelling that accompanies surgical procedures. In addtion, Meso-CRF requires zero downtime and you can live your life as normal both before or after treatment.
As we mentioned above, Meso-CRF is not suited to the removal of large amounts of fat. Large fat deposits require either liposuction/smart lipo/vaser with all the subsequent problems (pain, bruising, swelling, scar tissue, skin looseness etc.).
However, for smaller localised fat deposits Meso-CRF is the preferred method, because it is pleasant, natural, safe and pain-free, and because it naturally and gradually reduces the localised deep fat deposits whilst tightening the skin and removing cellulite at the same time.
Meso-CRF is ideal - and preferred to surgery - for small amounts of fat on the calves, knees, saddle bags, buttocks, waist, stomach, upper arms, double chin and jowl. For localised fat removal a course of 12x (and sometimes 24x) sessions is typically recommended.
As Meso-CRF is ideal for post-liposuction skin tightening, it can also be used in conjunction with liposuction liposuction, vaser or smart lipo to help you tighten up the excess loose skin left after surgery. Post-lipo Meso-CRF treatments can start 4-6 weeks after the operation.
The importance of nutrition and exercise
Healthy diet and exercise are recommended whether you undergo surgical or non-surgical procedures, to ensure that fat removed from those procedures stays off the treated areas. Contrary to popular belief, your body will always deposit new fat and create new fat cells if it is faced with an excess of calories and inactivity over a prolonged period of time.
