Liposuction can sometimes prove to be a last resort for the ones who have been struggling with their body figure. However, they may find it hard to select from the wide spectrum of liposuctions available in the market.

In this article, we unravel the red and green flags of traditional and non-surgical liposuction to make it easy for you to choose.

What is Traditional Liposuction?

Before we immerse ourselves in the critical analysis and comparison of both, let us dive into some basics first and start by defining liposuction. It is a surgical procedure that involves making an incision on your skin and inserting a suction tool to eliminate the excess fat from areas like the abdomen, thighs, flanks, arms, neck, buttocks, etc.

It is mostly termed traditional liposuction or surgical liposuction as it involves cutting your skin and introducing surgical tools to shred stubborn fat from your body areas to beautify your body. The downtime for traditional liposuction can be a week-long or even longer, depending on a person’s prognosis. It may also leave you with pain or discomfort post-surgery.

However, the results after traditional liposuction are dramatically unbelievable, as you can see in the results within days. You will not have to wait for weeks or months to see the results after you have undergone liposuction.

On the other hand, non-surgical or non-invasive liposuction does not involve incising your skin and introducing a tool inside your body. Instead, non-invasive methods include the usage of laser, radiofrequency, ultrasound energy, freezing, or cooling techniques to remove fat deposits. The non-invasive procedure does not cause extreme pain or discomfort and even has minimal downtime compared to traditional liposuction.  

Types of Non-Surgical Liposuction

The non-surgical liposuction or non-invasive fat removal technique involves a broad spectrum of options. These can range from cool sculpting, radiofrequency, infraslimx, Venus bliss, Trusculpt, and laser liposuction Dubai.

Here is a brief insight into all these non-surgical liposuction procedures:

Venus Bliss

Venus Bliss is done at Eleganthoopoe using advanced technology, which leads to a comfortable reduction of body fat. It is a noninvasive lipolysis procedure that involves laser technology to cut off fat pockets just beneath the skin. Venus Bliss is usually done to remove fat from the belly, thighs, arms, and flanks.

Here is what Venus Bliss does to your body:

InfraslimX

InfraslimX is a revolutionary technique for shaping your body into a model figure. This procedure involves infrared technology coupled with oxygen, ozone, collagen, aromatherapy, and vacuum treatment. This treatment is suitable for most areas of your body with stubborn fat.

Here is what it does to your body:

  • Cellulite removal
  • Fat burning

Trusculpt

This technique helps you get personalized treatments and brings you optimal results. This noninvasive medical intervention involves shaping your body by using radiofrequency energy. The radio frequency helps to heat and damage the fat cells present in your body. Once the fat cells are damaged, they undergo necrosis and are then naturally excreted from the body. This technique is suitable for the fat cells in your abdomen, thighs, and arms.

Difference between Traditional Laser Liposuction and Non-invasive Therapies

Even after revolutionary advancements in technology, liposuction remains a popular choice among customers to tone up their bodies and give them a proper figure. However, there are many other customers who prefer non-invasive methods of fat removal over surgical liposuction. Here is the comparison between both the fat removal methods:

Recovery

The traditional liposuction will need at least six weeks for recovery, as is the case with all other surgical procedures. After the surgical liposuction, you will need to take care of yourself through compression garments for contouring, restricting your physical activity, and lifting heavy weights. However, when it comes to the non-invasive methods, they have comparatively minimal or no downtime. Likewise, it does not even need post-procedure care.

Results

Traditional liposuction assures immediate results, and you can notice your weight loss within days or even weeks. On the other hand, the non-invasive liposuction techniques will require more time to show results. You may be able to see the results after multiple sessions and after weeks of non-invasive liposuction.

Cost

As you can tell by now, traditional liposuction is more expensive than non-invasive liposuction procedures. This is because traditional liposuction involves OT fees and anesthesia costs as well. On the other hand, non-invasive liposuction is more cost-effective.
