Quick Weight Loss in the Tummy Area with Lipo Ex
By Alexandra Lambrou | Published on August 27, 2010 | 0 Comments
For people who are a traditional apple shape, the tummy area is often the place where fat tends to accumulate. Excess abdominal fat is not only unsightly, it is also a big health risk. Sadly, however, many people find it more than difficult to shift those excess bulges, and sometimes even when they diet and exercise regularly, they still find it hard to get flat stomachs. Big tummies can be uncomfortable as well, and it can be difficult fitting into clothes when there is a large stomach in the way. Often, finding jeans that fit is close to impossible, and fashionable clothes are out of the question.
If you have tried non-surgical options to lose stomach fat without any joy, and if diet and exercise still leave you far from your goal, then Lipo-Ex may be the ideal solution for you. It’s a non-invasive treatment program that can give you the stomach – and the body – that you always dreamed of having by melting away unwanted fat, according to Dr. Alexandra F. Lambrou, medical director of Sculpt Medical Spa in Chicago. “We try not to stress weight loss; we stress circumference loss,” she says.
Lipo-Ex works fantastically to melt away fat in the abdominal area for both men and women, says Dr. Lambrou. After a series of treatments, her patients on average lose anywhere from five to 20 pounds. People who are concentrating on the abdominal area should plan to lose two to three inches in circumference on the low end, while some people are fortunate enough to lose more like four to five inches.
“We shy away from making promises to people about exactly how much weight they will lose, in case they start working out like maniacs and start bulking up muscle mass,” Dr. Lambrou says. “I tell people that they should not be focused on the scale, but instead they should concentrate on how they look, whether or not their clothes fit better, and how many inches they have lost.”
She adds that a lot of times, when people see results with Lipo-Ex, it kick-starts their own work-out programs. Many people lose just a few pounds with Lipo-Ex but then start working out and re-contouring their own bodies, reshaping they way they look. A reshaping program should include healthy eating, working out, and Lipo-Ex, all three at the same time.
Exercise is very important when it comes to Lipo-Ex, as the body expels the unwanted fat naturally. Within just a few hours of having the treatment, it is imperative that patients do some light exercise, says Dr. Lambrou. “The reason for this is that right after the treatment, the fat is much more available for your body to burn,” she says. “It does not need to be crazy exercise, just brisk walking and bike riding. Patients who follow our recommendations get the best results.”
At Sculpt Medical Spa, all patients are provided with full pre and post procedural guidelines. Along with an hour of very light exercise within four hours of the treatment, Dr. Lambrou also recommends that patients stay hydrated throughout the entire treatment period, as this will help their bodies purge fat more efficiently. If you decide to undergo Lipo-Ex and follow your doctor’s guidelines to the letter, you can finally have the body – including the stomach – that you know you were truly meant to have.
