Many of us dream of those washboard abs. The kind you can show off at the beach, the envy of all your friends.
Unfortunately, getting a flat stomach can be an extremely difficult journey. There are a number of factors the influence how much weight we carry around the abdomen and abdominal fat is notoriously difficult to get rid of.
For many, the best results can be achieved with a healthy diet paired with the newest and most cutting-edge non-invasive weight loss treatments.
Non-invasive weight loss treatments are becoming increasingly popular as an effective and safe way to lose weight without resorting to invasive surgery or excessive exercise. These treatments provide an opportunity to reduce stubborn fat without the risks associated with traditional weight loss methods.
Non-invasive weight loss treatments utilize the latest advancements in technology to target fatty areas of the body and destroy fat cells without damaging the surrounding tissue. These treatments are often referred to as “body sculpting” or “contouring”, as they are designed to shape and slim the body while reducing stubborn fat.
Xanadu Med Spa Fort Collins – Cutting Edge Body Contouring/Sculpting
Here at Xanadu Med Spa, we are Northern Colorados’ leading med spa, offering cutting edge treatment to our clients. We can help you achieve your goals and help you regain your inner confidence and outer beauty.
CoolSculpting – Freeze the Fat Away
One of the most popular non-invasive weight loss treatments we offer is CoolSculpting. This treatment uses a device that freezes fat cells, causing them to be naturally eliminated from the body over time. This process is completely non-invasive, meaning there are no needles or incisions involved.
With CoolSculpting, you can target specific areas of the body to reduce stubborn fat deposits and achieve a more sculpted and contoured silhouette. CoolSculpting works by using controlled cooling to freeze and eliminate fat cells in the treated areas. The treated fat cells are then gradually eliminated from the body over time. This process is known as cryolipolysis, and it is a safe and effective way to reduce fat deposits without surgery or downtime.
The treatment is performed in our med spa clinic and is relatively quick and painless. During the procedure, the esthetican will apply a cooling device to the desired area. The cooling device works by targeting fat cells in the area and freezing them. The fat cells will then be broken down and expelled from the body naturally over the course of several weeks.
The results of CoolSculpting are typically visible within two to four months. After the procedure, patients can expect to see a noticeable reduction in fat in the treated areas. This fat loss can last for up to two years, provided that the patient maintains a healthy lifestyle and diet.
CoolSculpting is a safe and effective treatment for those looking to reduce stubborn fat deposits without the risks and recovery time associated with surgery. It is an ideal treatment for those looking to achieve a more sculpted and contoured silhouette without having to go under the knife.
Emsculpt Neo – Fat Loss and Muscle Building, All in One Treatment
We also offer Emsculpt Neo, a a revolutionary new body contouring procedure that combines radio frequency (RF) energy and high-intensity electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to target fat cells and tone the muscle tissue. It is the first non-invasive body contouring procedure to simultaneously reduce fat and build muscle mass. Emsculpt Neo is a safe and effective treatment option for people who are looking to reshape their body without the need for surgery or other invasive treatments.
Emsculpt Neo works by using high-intensity focused electromagnetic pulses to stimulate the muscle and fat tissue. These pulses cause the muscle to contract, which helps to tone and sculpt the body. The RF energy also helps to reduce fat cells in the treatment area, resulting in a slimmer body contour. During the treatment, patients may experience some mild discomfort that can be managed with topical numbing cream. Emsculpt Neo treatments typically take about 30 minutes, with no downtime required afterward.
Multiple sessions are recommended for the best results, and patients can expect to see results within a few weeks of their first treatment. Emsculpt Neo is an ideal option for people who want to improve their physique without the risks associated with surgery. This non-invasive body contouring procedure can help to reduce fat and tone the muscles, providing a more sculpted and toned look, making it one of our most popular body sculpting treatments.
BodyFX – Fat Loss and Cellulite Reduction
BodyFX is a non-invasive fat loss treatment that uses a combination of radiofrequency, deep tissue heating, suction, and massage to reduce the appearance of fat and cellulite. The treatment is designed to help people achieve a slimmer and more toned silhouette without the need for surgery.
First, the targeted area is treated with radiofrequency energy. This energy penetrates the skin and heats the subcutaneous fat and underlying tissue, causing the fat cells to shrink. Then, a vacuum-assisted massage therapy is used to stimulate the body’s natural lymphatic drainage system, breaking down fat cells and cellulite.
The entire process takes about an hour and is relatively painless. After the treatment, the patient can expect to see a reduction in the appearance of cellulite and fat. Results can be seen as soon as six weeks after the completion of the treatment. BodyFX is a great way to reduce the appearance of fat and cellulite without having to undergo a surgical procedure. It is safe and effective, making it a popular option for those looking to achieve a slimmer, more toned silhouette.
Cellulite Removal Treatments
As well as obtaining that flat stomach of your dreams, many of our clients are concerned about their cellulite. Fortunately, we offer several cellulite removal treatments that can be taken alongside our body sculpting and contouring treatments.
QWO and Cellfina are two of the most popular cellulite removal treatments available today. QWO (Quantum Wave Optics) is a laser-based treatment that uses a combination of energy and light to break down the fibrous bands that cause cellulite.
This treatment is minimally invasive and is ideal for those who are looking for an effective and safe way to reduce the appearance of cellulite.
Cellfina is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a small needle to break up the fibrous bands that cause cellulite. It is typically performed under local anesthesia and involves no cutting or stitching. This treatment is ideal for those who are looking for a long-term solution to their cellulite problem.
Both QWO and Cellfina treatments can help reduce the appearance of cellulite, but the results will depend on the individual’s anatomy and lifestyle. Both treatments can be expensive, but they may be covered by some insurance plans. It is important to consult with a qualified medical professional to determine which treatment is best for you.
Lifestyle Changes To Implement Alongside Treatment to Lose Weight, Lose Belly Fat and Reduce Body Fat
While the treatments we offer here at Xanadu Med Spa are safe and effective at removing fat cells in the body, and provide long-lasting results, we still advise patients to implement a healthy diet and lifestyle in order to maintain their new figure.
The key to a flat stomach is losing belly fat but keeping a flat stomach requires a lifestyle where body fat does not increase after the results have been achieved.
There is a phrase used by fitness aficionados around the world “abs are made in the kitchen” and this is usually the case. While exercise can play a crucial role in your body composition, it only accounts for around 20% of the results. The other 80%, is your diet, which is where the phrase originates. You cannot out-train a bad diet, but you can definitely achieve a flat stomach and healthy physique without any exercise at all.
The Natural Guide to a Healthy Diet and a Flat Stomach
Losing weight is not a complicated process. In fact, it is relatively simple. Due to thermodynamics, the only way for you to lose weight without treatment, is to ensure that you consume less calories on a day-to-day basis than your body needs. If your diet contains less calories than your body is burning, it has to turn to other sources to obtain the calories needed, and the best source of calories found naturally in the body comes from burning your fat cells.
This means that the first step you should carry out, is to find out roughly what your metabolic rate is, i.e, the number of calories your body needs for your current lifestyle and body composition.
How To Find Out Your Daily Calorie Needs
Finding out how many calories your body needs each day starts with understanding your body composition and lifestyle. You’ll want to consider factors such as your age, gender, activity levels, and overall health. Once you have this information, you can use a variety of online tools and apps to help you determine how many calories your body needs.
We recommend using this calculator, provided by the MayoClinic, a well respected source for health information.
Click Here – Daily Calorie Calculator.
Using this calorie calculator will allow you to figure out your body’s daily calorie needs. This calculator takes into account your age, gender, height, weight, and activity level to give you an estimate of how many calories your body needs each day.
Once you have calculated your daily calorie needs, you will need to start tracking your daily calorie intake. The best way to do this is to input your food into a food diary app.
Our recommendation is the MyFitnessPal application found here.
Start by tracking your diet without making any changes for one week. This way, you will be able to see how many calories you consume on a daily and weekly basis. This is often an eye-opener to some people.
Once you have got the hang of tracking your food, next you should implement a calorie deficit. We recommend starting slow here. Take your daily calorie expenditure, say 2500 calories, and subtract 2-300 calories from the number, in this example, 2200-2300.
Now you need to ensure that you consume around 2200 calories every single day. It is okay to go a little under, but do not regularly consume 500 calories less than your daily expenditure because it can leave you fatigued and with health problems. What’s worse, if you regularly consume too few calories, your body may go into starvation mode, holding onto fat instead of removing it as a defense mechanism.
Stick to the same deficit for 4-8 weeks, and you will lose belly fat stores, water weight, and stomach fat. Keep tracking your weight loss and your diet on a daily basis to build up good habits. After the 4-8 weeks, you should weigh yourself and re-calculate your daily expenditure using the calculator as your expenditure will change as you lose weight. If you wish to carry on losing weight from this point, simply calculate a new deficit goal and carry on until you hit your desired weight or achieve that flat tummy you have been pursuing.
Importance of What You Eat
While losing weight is simply a matter of caloric deficit, you still need to ensure your diet is healthy and balanced. This is because you still need to ensure your body has enough of the vital minerals and vitamins that it needs for the important functions it carries out.
Make sure you eat healthy proteins, sticking to grass-fed meat and organic free-range poultry wherever possible. You should also try to eat organic healthy vegetables to ensure you get lots of dietary fiber to help your digestive system to flush out the fat cells.
Conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome, celiac disease, and food allergies can all cause inflammation and bloating in the abdomen. Identifying and treating any underlying health issues can help you reduce belly fat and get a flatter stomach.
Stay Hydrated
Staying hydrated is essential for weight loss and overall health. When you are dehydrated, your metabolism slows down, and your body has difficulty metabolizing fat. This can make it harder to lose weight.
Additionally, staying hydrated helps curb your appetite, so you are less likely to overeat. Drinking plenty of water can also help flush out toxins from your body and reduce bloating, which can make you look and feel better.
Finally, staying hydrated helps keep your skin looking great. When you’re dehydrated, your skin can become dry, flaky and more prone to wrinkles. Drinking plenty of water helps keep your skin glowing, which makes you look slimmer and healthier.
Lifestyle Impacts
Often underestimated is the effect that things like stress and sleep can have on your body and its ability to remove or keep fat cells. When you suffer from sleep deprivation, your body produces more cortisol, the stress hormone.
Elevated levels of cortisol can trigger sugar cravings and cravings for carbohydrates, which can lead us to consume more calories than we wish to consume, leading to excess weight. Sugar intake has also proven to cause slumps and fatigue, meaning we may become less active.
