It is a myth that fat loss programmes are meant only for obese people. Skinny people also might need to go for fat loss programmes, because of the presence of abnormal body fat. Something, which is medically termed as “skinny fat”. In this condition, a person is metabolically obese but within a normal weight range. Skinny fat people tend to have a lot of visceral fat, which can lead to a range of health complications like increased risk of heart disease, high cholesterol, diabetes, lower bone mineral density, among others.

If you have an area of fat that is not moving away with diet and exercise, then you may need to try out different treatment modalities to treat different types and areas of fat. You can talk to one of the best aesthetic doctors in Mumbai and devise a strategy according to your needs and the body type, that can give good results.

The various methods used for treating fats, put together by some of the best skin specialist of Bandra, Mumbai are listed below:

  • Ultrasonic cavitation: Ultrasonic cavitation is a non-invasive procedure, that relies on ultrasound to break down fat from the body instead of intensive surgery. These machines target specific body areas with strong sound waves. This process acts on the cell membrane of the fat cells. The pressure created in this process causes disruption and makes the fat cells to liquefy and release the contents into the bloodstream. Then, the cells die and are eventually washed away from the body. In this treatment, the no of fat cells is reduced, but if the patient gains weight after this procedure, the cells may enlarge again. Multiple sessions are required in this treatment procedure to see results.

           Ultrasonic fat removal can be used on any area of the body. The abdomen, flanks, double chin, thighs, neck, back, upper arms, and knees are all treatable. A visible difference of 0.5 mm can be seen.

  • Deoxycholic acid (Kybella Injection): Kybella is a non-surgical injectable technique, which works by destroying the fat cells where it is injected. This technique is best used to target the fat beneath the chin. This procedure uses a series of deoxycholic injections to destroy the fat cells in the injected area. This treatment requires multiple sessions and results are visible after 2 sessions. This procedure can be used on other parts of the body as well but might require multiple sessions and the cost also might add up to a surgical liposuction.

             Although Kybella is nonsurgical, it might be associated with some minor side effects like pain, swelling, redness or numbness etc, but these might vary from person to person.

Apart from these minor side-effects, if you experience any facial muscle weakness, trouble swallowing or smiling, jaw injury or any kind of discomfort in the treated area, you need to contact your skin specialist immediately.
