Regional Slimming

Regional Slimming (Body Shaping)

Procedures aimed at getting rid of stubborn fat in areas such as the waist, hips, and abdomen are called localized slimming or regional weight loss. Since this type of stubborn fat is often difficult to eliminate through diet or exercise, non-surgical localized slimming methods are beneficial in solving these problems. Localized slimming aesthetic procedures are quite popular worldwide and remain the quickest solution for many people.

What are non-surgical methods for localized fat reduction?

Thanks to advancements in the field of aesthetics, it seems much easier now to get rid of localized excess fat deposits that distort body shape and cannot be eliminated through diet or exercise. Previously, patients could only get rid of such fat through surgical methods, but with the development of technology, they can now easily overcome these problems without surgery.

Some individuals, despite having a slim physique, achieve successful results by eliminating excess fat tissue in certain areas of their bodies using the following methods.

• Non-invasive Ultrasonography
• Radiofrequency
• Mesolipolysis / Biolipolysis
• Cryolipolysis

Sometimes, several of these methods are combined to eliminate fatty tissue that causes an unsightly appearance. This results in much more effective solutions tailored to the individual’s needs. Which method is suitable for each person is determined after a detailed dermatological examination by a doctor.

• Regional Slimming with Non-Invasive Ultrasonographic Method
  In non-invasive ultrasonography, sound waves break down cells in the fat tissue located under the skin. These broken-down cells are metabolized by the liver and kidneys and eliminated from the body. While non-invasive ultrasonography was previously performed using cavitation technology, modern technology now utilizes enhanced focused ultrasonographic body shaping technology. This technology focuses significantly higher energy on a single point under the skin, permanently eliminating fat cells by causing them to burst.
• Regional Slimming with Radiofrequency (RF) Method
  In radiofrequency (RF) therapy, the energy generated by radio waves tightens and renews the connective tissue in the skin. This method is painless and does not require anesthesia. Applicable to all areas except the scalp and genital area, the radiofrequency (RF) method takes about an hour. It is usually applied in 6 sessions, once a week. It is suitable for all individuals with a body mass index below 30% and experiencing localized fat accumulation. Expert doctors particularly consider radiofrequency (RF) therapy ideal if there is sagging or looseness of the skin.
• Regional Slimming with Mesolipolysis / Biolipolysis Method
  In mesolipolysis, a plant-derived drug called phosphatidylcholine, which has good fat-dissolving properties, is injected into the fat tissue. This drug disrupts the metabolism of fat cells, causing them to die. However, recently, a more advanced method called biolipolysis has been developed by adding extra enzymes to this drug. This method breaks down fat tissue and eliminates it from the body. During the procedure, the drug is injected into the fat tissue using special syringes. It is ideal for individuals with a body mass index below 30%.
• Localized Weight Loss with Cryolipolysis Method
  Cryolipolysis treatment is used to eliminate excess fat deposits, particularly in areas such as the abdomen, flanks, lower abdomen, back, hips, and thighs. A single session permanently reduces fat tissue by 20% to 40%. The treatment works by cooling the fat tissue without damaging surrounding tissues, causing the membranes to melt. This allows macrophages, the body’s scavenger cells, to absorb and eliminate the fat. Cryolipolysis is painless, and the procedure takes approximately 45 minutes, after which the patient can immediately return to their daily life.

After undergoing any regional slimming method, it is essential to support permanent fat loss with diet and exercise. If the current weight is not maintained and new fat formation occurs, the problems will inevitably recur due to the accumulation of excessive regional fat tissue.

How much do regional slimming aesthetic procedures cost?

It is illegal for hospitals, aesthetic clinics, and treatment centers approved by the Turkish Ministry of Health to list prices for regional slimming procedures on their websites, and aesthetic clinics that do not comply with this rule are subject to penalties. Furthermore, all doctors specializing in Aesthetic, Plastic, and Reconstructive Surgery must examine the patient, analyze their current health condition, and evaluate their complaints and expectations in order to provide accurate information regarding regional slimming prices.
