The Role of Diet and Exercise in Complementing Body Contouring Procedures
Diet and exercise can go a long way toward sculpting your body the way you want it, but you don’t always have to do it alone. A few powerful, non-surgical body contouring options exist to help clients achieve the body they desire.
CoolSculpting and More at Freezeology
Freezeology in Tampa is rated the top provider of CoolSculpting in Florida and second in the nation! Led by Dr. Anitha Reddy, our highly trained and experienced staff is laser-focused on body contouring procedures like CoolSculpting and Emsculpt NEO, both of which are designed to give clients the boost they need for a toned body.
During your consultation, we’ll examine your medical history, study your symptoms, and ask important questions about your current diet and exercise routine. From there, we can craft a comprehensive treatment strategy that may involve two things: improving those habits and accelerating your results with the help of a body contouring treatment.
Overview of Body Contouring Procedures
CoolSculpting is the process of freezing a small amount of stubborn fat on the body that isn’t responding to a healthy lifestyle. This is because fat cells will shrink as you lose weight but won’t actually go away on their own. Freezing them causes controlled cell death, in a technique called cryolipolysis. The cells are then gradually dissolved by the body. The surrounding tissue is unaffected.
While CoolSculpting can be a phenomenal choice for slightly larger areas of difficult fat, Emsculpt NEO is often a great idea for more targeted, refined toning. During an Emsculpt NEO session, radiofrequency heat energy is used to cause controlled cell death in fat cells. Simultaneously, high intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM+) energy acts as an intense muscle workout.
Body contouring is commonly used to address specific areas such as the:
- Abdomen
- Back
- Flanks
- Thighs
- Buttocks
- Arms
- Bra line
Can I Use Body Contouring to Lose Weight?
Body contouring procedures are designed for clients already at or near a healthy body weight who are having trouble burning that last amount of isolated fat tissue. They are not meant as weight loss treatments.
How A Healthy Lifestyle Goes Hand-In-Hand With Body Contouring
Coordinating body contouring therapy with a newfound healthy lifestyle is frequently the best strategy to see consistently impressive results. Once you’ve reached a healthy BMI and are eligible for a body contouring treatment, it’s important to keep up with a proper diet and workout regimen. Otherwise, there is the risk of undoing the effects of your treatment.
Some tips for maintaining your toned appearance after body contouring include the following:
- Avoid sugar, carbs, and processed foods.
- Stick to lean meats like chicken, turkey, and fish that are low in saturated and trans fats.
- Select low-fat options whenever possible.
- Eat lots of fruits and vegetables.
- Limit your alcohol intake.
- Exercise three to five times a week.
