American Society of Plastic Surgeons has revealed that one nonsurgical treatment, in particular, has surged dramatically this past year, even though the official 2014 figures have not yet been disclosed. How about you try to guess which one it is? We’ll just come out and say it: fat loss without surgery.
The ASAPS reports a 43% increase in the popularity of nonsurgical fat reduction during the past year. Over one hundred thousand were reportedly provided in 2014.
But why has the need for nonsurgical fat reduction increased so dramatically? ASAPS speculates that “major technology developments” inside this expanding industry may be to blame. Nonsurgical fat reduction procedures have fewer dangers and no significant downtime compared to liposuction. In order to aid in fat loss, nonsurgical methods such as aesthetic laser energy, radiofrequency, or ultrasound are used. The end effect is a body reshaping without the high price tag of surgical options.
Consumers should expect to pay between $600 and $2,000 for a series of noninvasive fat reduction procedures. Many people believe that only doctors can provide nonsurgical laser, radiofrequency, and ultrasound aesthetic treatments, but the reality is that anyone with the proper training can do so. Noninvasive fat reduction procedures can be learned and practiced in various places, provided the practitioner meets the necessary certification requirements.
