Love handles: how to get rid of them?
They are often said to be cute… As evidenced by the name given to them: the love handles! However, many can no longer stand them. Anchored on either side, just above the hips, they seem reluctant to disappear. The lipocryotherapy can eliminate them in just a few sessions.
What are love handles?
Do they really allow for a grip?! The love handles are firmly settled on our hips. This small excess fat, usually seen on the sides, forms the handles of a bag. While this issue is predominantly feminine, it can also affect men. Thin in appearance, they may reappear every year around the same time. The goal will be to get rid of them using various methods or changes in habits, such as reducing alcohol consumption, sugary products, or high-fat foods, and engaging in regular physical activity.
Certain sports can help slim the waist, such as muscle strengthening, swimming (freestyle), weightlifting (focusing on the oblique muscles of the abdominal belt), yoga, or cycling.
Why opt for lipocryotherapy?
The lipocryotherapy is a technology that allows for the selective and non-invasive reduction of localized fatty tissue through cold. The technique involves the application of a shell that encompasses the fatty tissue one wishes to reduce. The fat cells (adipocytes) in this tissue are rich in saturated fatty acids, making them more sensitive to cold.
The process of breaking down adipocytes occurs through crystallisation, followed by apoptosis (programmed cell death through cold) and the gradual dissolution of the cell with the gradual release of lipids over a period of 4 to 6 weeks.
Several machines are used by the centre depending on the thickness and volume of the fat deposits. This technique ensures efficacy and safety and is non-invasive. The process is not painful. The patient feels a slight stretching in the area due to the action of the vacuum, along with a sensation of localized cold. There may be a reddening and numbness of the area that can last for up to 2 hours post-session.
The lipocryotherapy is recommended for targeting certain areas such as the belly, waist, saddle bags, or double chin. Good dietary hygiene is also essential for the success of the sessions. Initially, the adipocytes will be eliminated and then absorbed by the natural metabolism.
Maintaining a good lifestyle is important to achieve satisfactory results.
