Who is weight loss with body contouring devices appropriate for?

• People who seek assistance while starting or continuing to lose weight, with a simultaneous change in their lifestyle and dietary habits.
• People who want a faster weight loss effect oin the most resistant areas such as the lower abdomen and hips, inner thighs.
• People who want to maintain their weight and body composition – a stable ratio of muscle mass to fat.

Body contouring devices cannot be used to reduce weight. This would mean that applying one of the devices would be sufficient to reduce body weight at the expense of subcutaneous fat and that which is located under the abdominal muscles and surrounds the internal organs (called abdominal visceral fat). As subcutaneous fat may bother us for aesthetic reasons, abdominal (visceral) fat is linked to many diseases of the body, as it promotes chronic inflammation. People with abdominal fat suffer from or are predisposed to diabetes, atherosclerosis, high blood pressure, cancer, arthritis and many other diseases. We need to maintain a normal body weight through regular physical activity, habits that do not cause disease and a diet that does not cause fat to accumulate in the body.

Weight loss due to the reduction of fat deposits is possible by increasing energy expenditure at the expense of muscle work and by reducing the intake of energy-dense foods and beverages. Overweight people will lose weight if their daily calorie intake is lower than the energy required to maintain bodily functions (heart, lung and other organ function) and muscular work (movement). Weight maintenance is stable when daily energy expenditure is equal to dietary calorie intake.

How can we help you lose weight with body shaping devices?

Metabolic ultrasound is a device that uses ultrasound waves of a certain frequency to stimulate the hormone nor-adrenaline from nerve endings in abdominal (visceral) fat. The hormone acts on the fat cells by triggering the secretion of their contents into the bloodstream. Their volume is reduced, so that after several repetitions, a reduction in abdominal volume occurs. The hormone has a time limit of 45 minutes, so aerobic exercise (walking, swimming, cycling) of a few minutes is necessary immediately after the procedure.

Cryosauna is a device that uses liquid nitrogen to cool the whole body. Cryotherapy is a well-known and established physical therapy used in rehabilitation to speed up tissue regeneration after injury. Today it is also used for recovery after intense sports or muscle injuries. It has the effect of stimulating the immune system, soothing skin inflammations and also reducing weight. After immersion in nitrogen gas for a few minutes, at temperatures ranging from minus 120 to 170°C, the body, through sensing it with its cold receptors in the skin, triggers a contraction of the capillaries, followed by a dilation of the capillaries in the skin at the end of the cryosauna. Hormones that are normally active when the body is exposed to cold are released, signalling an increase in the release of energy from fat cells that is needed to maintain body temperature.  The body is thus tricked into expending more energy than necessary for a certain period of time, which, after several repetitions, reduces the volume of fat in the body.

Both procedures can be combined with other body contouring procedures, the most effective being UltraShape Power, medical cryolipolysis and Body FX.
