Localized adiposity

Speaking of localized adiposity, we often wonder whether there is a medical treatment that can help us.

The phenomenon, due to the accumulation of fat in particular areas that differ according to gender, can be addressed in several ways.

What is localized adiposity

Also known as “visceral fat,” localized adiposity is a condition that afflicts many men and women. Simply put, it consists of a concentration of fat in particular areas such as the abdomen, hips, thighs, and calves. 

Localized adiposity is well distinguished from subcutaneous fat, which accumulates in the hypodermis, and intramuscular fat. If present at high levels it is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease and other complications.

How to treat localized adiposity

There are several solutions for this problem:

• Cool-sculpting: involves cooling the fat tissue cells, achieving progressive fat reduction
• Mesotherapy: is based on infiltration of substances that help fight water retention and fat concentration
• Ultrasound: therapy based on the use of ultrasound that acts directly on fat cells.
• Radiofrequency: is an innovative technique that through the use of radio waves at different frequencies aims to damage and destroy fat cells

How radiofrequency treatment works

Treating localized adiposity with radiofrequency is a pathway that shows effective results over time. In fact, several sessions may be necessary to achieve the desired results established with the referring specialist.

The treatment is based on the use of a particular instrument called Morpheus8. This particular device is used on the skin in the areas to be treated. The principle of operation is related to the emission of electromagnetic waves in the radiofrequency range that penetrate deep into the skin.

Through the energy carried by the waves acting in the sub-dermal tissues. one is able to damage the fat cells and release the connective tissue containing them. This, in turn, improves the condition of the skin, which appears more elastic and toned.

RF technology also enables vasodilator action, which improves the transport of oxygen and nutrients to the cells, as well as stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, which regenerate and rejuvenate the skin.

What to know before undergoing RF for adiposity

Before undergoing RF treatment for fat concentrations, it is crucial to choose a state-of-the-art medical center.
