I am going to get in
better shape in the New Year!
“Laser Body
Sculpting can have you looking great in the New Year,”
according
to
Dr. Brian E. Kozar of Advanced
SmartLipo Center of Louisiana.
Everyone loves
the Holidays; the food, the office Christmas parties,
the food, spending
time with family and friends, and, oh by the way, all the GREAT FOOD?
Many a diet has been derailed or put off
because of the Holidays. “Oh, one more bite of this,”
“Just one more piece of that,” “O.K., just
one more…”
Unfortunately,
“just one more” becomes - a lot more! Interestingly, a "Prospective Study
of Holiday Weight Gain" published in the New England Journal of Medicine
in 2000 found that Americans gain an average of 1.06 pounds during the
Holidays.
This doesn’t sound like much;
however, the same study showed that this seemingly modest weight gain
experienced over the Holidays is not lost during the rest of the year by the
vast majority of people. “Multiply 1.06 pounds by five or ten years and
suddenly there are trouble spots and extra inches that we cannot seem to get
rid of,” said Dr. Kozar.
Everyone has their tipping point and next to
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays the phrase that may be uttered most during
the Holidays is: “That’s it, I’m done! I can’t do this anymore! I have to get
in shape!”
Proper Diet and Exercise
That is where it
starts and the New Year’s resolution is born.
For some that is as far as it gets, or there is an initial start, with
proper diet and exercise which eventually fades away leaving you upset in May
when it is time to shop for a bathing suit.
“Let’s face it,
losing weight is not easy and most people have this continual struggle with
their weight,” said Dr. Kozar.
“It is an
on-going battle in the mind and a constant source of stress.”
That’s where
laser body sculpting comes in. There is technology today that can help you shed
those inches quickly and help you look your best. Many people, especially
women, have at least thought about having some type of laser lipolysis.
Either the perceived cost, the thought of
pain or the perceived recovery time has kept them from proceeding.
Let’s clear a
few things up:
-
SmartLipo is readily available and costs
much less than traditional liposuction.
-
SmartLipo is minimally invasive;
there are no big incisions and no need for general anesthesia. In fact, it
is done while you are awake under local anesthesia.
-
Recovery time is also much quicker
than with traditional liposuction.
Instead of taking weeks to recover, SmartLipo patients often return
to work within 2-4 days of having their procedure.
Zerona
As technology
advances, the consumer, has more options available for laser body sculpting as
well.
A new cold laser lipolysis
procedure, called “Zerona,” is now available that includes no recovery time.
Zerona is the clinically-proven new laser treatment that painlessly reduces
inches and removes body fat.
There are
no needles or incisions.
While results are
typically not as dramatic as with SmartLipo, Zerona is a cost effective
alternative for those who choose not to opt for SmartLipo!
“If you resolve
once again to slim down this New Year, there are now several laser body
sculpting options to choose from,” said Dr. Kozar. “You have nothing to lose except those
trouble spots you see in the mirror everyday.”
