The expert explains the benefits of beauty treatments for fat reduction and body definition
Conquering a defined abdomen is the desire of most people, but this is not always an easy task. To obtain the famous “tanquinho” belly, it is necessary to adopt a healthy lifestyle, practice physical exercises and, in some cases, take care of the skin to put an end to abdominal flaccidity, since, in the latter case, the association of a healthy diet with physical activity may not be enough.
“Each layer of the abdomen requires a specific treatment, with local action on the muscle, localized fat or skin. results. But the assessment is always individual,” explains Dr. Cláudia Merlo, specialist in Cosmetology.
Causes of abdominal relaxation
According to Dr. Cláudia Merlo, the causes of abdominal flaccidity are linked to the weakening of the skin support, such as collagen and elastin, which are disorganized, causing sagging. “Abdominal sagging can be the result of sagging skin (reduction of collagen fibers in the skin), relaxation of the muscle layer (weakening of the fibers that form muscles), or even a combination of the two. This is because the skin is overlaid on the muscle and the tone follows. Therefore, if the muscle is flaccid, the skin also appears flaccid. Of course, the skin can also present flaccidity with toned muscles, but, in these cases, it is less evident”, he concludes.
1. fat injection
When the muscle is toned, but there is sagging skin and some fat, the treatment to glue the abdomen with the application of fat reduction injections can be started. “We apply drugs that will act on the subcutaneous layer to increase local metabolism and cause the degradation of the fat molecule, which is gradually eliminated from the body. Furthermore, these substances generate controlled inflammation that already improves the quality and tone of the skin ” , says Dr. Claudia Merlo.
The professional also explains that, at that time, the injections of fat however, it can be associated with the Emtone radio frequency if necessary. “The device favors the mechanical action and heat (42°) to increase the production of collagen and improve the structure of the skin, making it less flaccid,” explains the specialist.
two. Biostimulators
To specifically treat skin flaccidity, the collagen biostimulator Radiesse can be applied, the effect of which can also be refined later with Ulthera microfocused ultrasound sessions. According to the doctor. Cláudia Merlo, both procedures stimulate, in different ways, the production of collagen fibers.
“Radiesse is a collagen biostimulator composed of calcium hydroxyapatite which, when injected into the skin, generates local inflammation capable of stimulate collagen. Ulthera microfocused ultrasound, in turn, also favors the formation and restructuring of these fibers, but through the release of energy that heats the skin in depth,” says the specialist.
3. EMSculpt Neo (body sculpting)
If the patient, in addition to fat and sagging skin, also has a certain relaxation of the abdominal muscles, it is still possible to associate the EMSculpt Neo sessions. “Emsculpt Neo, also known as Body shaping (moldar or body, in Portuguese), emits, simultaneously with the muscle stimulation of the HIFEM technology (High Intensity Focused Electromagnetic Field), the synchronized radio frequency, responsible for acting on the reduction of fat cells”, explains Dr. Cláudia Merlo.
The doctor also explains that the combination of these two energies helps to obtain positive results for the body in just a few sessions. “The result of this union of two energies is reflected in greater fat burning and greater muscle growth than any other procedure, all this in a faster and less expensive way,” says the doctor, who also adds that the strengthening and muscle toning of the abdominal region help improve posture. This, in turn, also contributes to a better result in the fight against sagging skin.
Combining aesthetic procedures and healthy living
Dr. Cláudia Merlo reiterates that defining the abdomen and combating abdominal flaccidity is not a recipe for cake and the protocol must be individualized according to each patient’s needs. “To ensure the best results, the treatments must also be associated with a healthy lifestyle, with a balanced diet, exercise and quality sleep, for example,” concludes the specialist.
