What is commonly referred to as 'saddle bags'?
A synonym of femininity for some, the saddle bags are, however, disliked by most women. While many embark on a diet to lose weight around the hips, it is typically the upper body that sheds the first pounds. These curves, often hormonal or hereditary, are challenging to eliminate as they constitute a fat reserve zone. Indeed, it involves a significant accumulation of subcutaneous fat around the hips, buttocks, and upper thighs. It is often accompanied by cellulite.
To combat saddle bags, it is advisable to monitor everything that encourages weight gain and fat storage, such as sugar consumption, alcohol, unhealthy fats, or salt. Focus on red fruits and vegetables high in fibre to boost elimination and lighten meals. Engage in weight-loss sports to shed those extra pounds and firm your skin through brisk walking, cycling, swimming, or skipping rope. Additionally, cardiovascular exercises or strength training in the form of 2 or 3 sessions per week would be a good initiative.
Why choose lipocryotherapy?
Lipocryotherapy is a technology that allows for the selective and non-invasive reduction of localized fatty tissue using cold. The technique involves the application of a shell that encompasses the fat tissue we wish to reduce. The fat cells in this tissue are rich in saturated fatty acids, making them more sensitive to cold. The process of breaking down these cells, or adipocytes, occurs through crystallisation, followed by apoptosis (programmed cell destruction by cold) and the gradual dissolution of the cell with the gradual release of lipids over a period of 2 to 4 weeks.
Several applicators are used by the Paris laser centre depending on the thickness and volume of the fat mass. This technique guarantees effectiveness and safety and is non-invasive. The process is painless. The patient feels a slight stretching of the area, due to the vacuum action, as well as a sensation of localised cold. Redness and numbness may appear in the area, lasting from 2 to 12 hours after the session.
Lipocryotherapy is recommended for targeting specific areas such as the abdomen, waist, saddle bags, or double chin. Initially, the adipocytes will be eliminated and subsequently absorbed by the body's natural metabolism.
Of course, a proper diet is also essential for the success of the sessions.
