If you need to lose weight and dieting is not working well for you, there are weight loss treatments available to help you lose the weight you need. You can then become much healthier and feel better about yourself. To help you decide which type of treatment to receive, two types of weight loss treatments have been explained below.

Coolsculpting

Coolsculpting, also known as cryolipolysis, is a treatment that targets certain areas of your body where fat is difficult to remove by exercise and diet. This procedure is beneficial as the surgeon does not have to make any kind of cuts on your skin and does not involve any type of anesthetic. This means Coolsculpting services have much fewer side effects when compared to other forms of treatment.

During the procedure, the surgeon uses a special device that vacuums your skin directly above the area where the fatty tissue is located. This breaks down the fat cells and reduces the amount of fat in this area. The device first releases freezing temperatures to numb the skin, so you do not feel any pain. These freezing temperatures do not cause any damage to your other cells, so you do not have to worry about this damaging your actual skin.

This procedure can be done in the doctor's office and generally takes approximately an hour. This time may vary depending on how much fat you are having removed, however. You may feel a little pain in the area the fat was removed after the procedure is over for a few days.

Liposuction

Liposuction is more invasive when compared to Coolsculpting, but it does work well to remove fat from your body. The doctor first determines where the fat is located. They then make a small incision and insert a tube into the incision. This tube is attached to a suction machine. The doctor turns the machine on and the tube suctions out the fat. The fat then goes into a chamber that the doctor will discard after the procedure is over.

Liposuction works well in different areas of your body, such as your face, arms, back, buttocks, belly, thighs, and hips. This procedure also improves the shape in the area where the fat is removed.

The doctor may use general anesthesia for this treatment, which means you will be asleep during the procedure. The doctor may also use a local anesthetic. If so, you will be awake, but you will still not feel pain during the procedure. How long this procedure lasts depends on how much fat you are having removed. The liposuction procedure can be done in the doctor's office if they use local anesthesia, but if they use general anesthesia, you will have to have the procedure done in a treatment center or hospital. You can generally go home the same day the procedure is done.
