The Best Facial Treatment Options for Spring 2023

You spring clean your home. So why wouldn’t you do the same for your skin? Maintaining a youthful, clear complexion is indeed easy with routine facial treatments. HydraFacials®, RF Microneedling with Morpheus8, and Halo Skin Resurfacing are among the most effective options available this season, and all are meant to enhance natural beauty. You’ve already got gorgeous features, so why not shine some light on yourself?

At KP Aesthetics, we aim to help you maintain skin health, bring out that radiant skin tone, and target specific skin concerns. There’s no better way to do that than with the best facial treatments available this spring. Let’s go through each of them for a better understanding of the results you can expect.

HydraFacial Skin Care in Delaware County & Chester County, PA

In just three steps and 30 minutes, a HydraFacial is known to provide some of the clearest skin patients have seen on themselves. If you’ve ever wanted to give your skin a deep, steamy clean that leaves it feeling fresh and new, it’s time to consider a HydraFacial.

So, what is a HydraFacial?

How HydraFacials Work

A registered and licensed spa can offer HydraFacials, which are medical-grade resurfacing treatments that leave an instantly gratifying glow. It is particularly popular among patients with sensitive skin. Essentially, the process combines microdermabrasion-like treatment with an infusion of serums.

You can expect three parts to your HydraFacial skin care, which are:

  1.  Cleanse & Peel: Gentle exfoliation allows for resurfacing of impurities. This acts like chemical peels but does not leave any scaling afterwards.
  2.  Extract & Hydrate: Debris is carefully and painlessly removed from the skin before intense moisturizer is applied. This serum infusion contains antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid to nourish the skin.
  3.  Fuse & Protect: Lastly, a specialist will target your concerns with serums that address specific skin conditions.

The difference in drastic results lies in the HydraFacial machine, which uses a wand to cleanse and extract impurities and dead skin cells. It also lets the active ingredients in the serums penetrate further for a deeper treatment.

HydraFacial Skin Care Benefits

Whether you wear makeup often or have skin concerns that necessitate a deep clean, HydraFacials deliver incredible results. The treatment clears pores and hydrates dry skin, brightening the face and removing sebum buildup.

It’s almost like magic, the way a HydraFacial works wonders on:

After your treatment, you are left with clear skin that shines through without irritation or down time.

HydraFacial Benefits Before and After*

Let your skin breathe freely by instantly cleansing and removing dead skin and impurities with a HydraFacial.

Philadelphia Morpheus8 RF Microneedling Treatment

If you want to harness the healing powers of your body to target deep scarring and other skin conditions, microneedling is a great choice. Where a HydraFacial uses special serums based on your needs and goals, microneedling uses skin regeneration.

Before the procedure begins, your provider will cleanse your skin and apply a topical anesthetic to ensure you are comfortable. They will then use a microneedling machine with tiny metal needles to penetrate the skin and make micro wounds. This is called a controlled skin injury, as the damage triggers the body to begin repairing the area, rejuvenating the skin for a smooth result. At the same time, radiofrequency waves enter the channels through the tip of the needle, penetrating deeper to enhance the results of traditional microneedling.

The entire procedure typically takes 10 to 20 minutes depending on what you’re treating.

11 Benefits of Microneedling with Morpheus8 RF

Unlike some other facial rejuvenation treatments, microneedling does not bring the risk of skin discoloration. This means it’s an ideal deep cleansing solution for all skin colors. RF microneedling is an FDA-cleared treatment that helps skin grow back thicker and stronger.

11 common benefits of RF microneedling are:

  1.  Improving the appearance and texture of the skin
  2.  Minimizing stretch marks
  3.  Reducing scarring
  4.  Combating sun damage
  5.  Improving acne
  6.  Shrinking pores
  7.  Reversing the signs of aging
  8.  Minimizing lines and wrinkles
  9.  Boosting the effectiveness of topical creams
  10.  Reducing the inflammation and irritation of rosacea
  11.  Comparable results to laser treatments with less down time

Most people need a few microneedling treatments to achieve their goals. At KP Aesthetics, we recommend giving yourself anywhere from three to eight weeks between sessions. You might start seeing results between three and six months after treatment. At this point, some patients opt to come back once per year to maximize their results.

Microneedling Benefits Before and After*

As with any skin treatments, results may vary per person.

HALO Laser Resurfacing

If you’ve never heard of hybrid fractional laser technology, prepare to be excited. Halo laser resurfacing is the only laser treatment with two lasers. Combining ablative and non-ablative wavelengths allows HALO laser resurfacing to target skin concerns on different levels—ablative lasers clear portions of the epidermis, vaporizing tissues with damage to promote healthy healing. Non-ablative lasers penetrate deeper to stimulate collagen production. You can transform your skin for a bright and fresh glow within one or two treatments.

Benefits of a HALO Skin Treatment Process

The depth and intensity of each laser resurfacing treatment depends on skin types and goals. This means that you can expect slightly different results from a procedure meant just for you, based on a skin analysis. A light treatment offers vibrant, smooth skin that is fresh for the next day. A deeper procedure will offer bright, glowing skin after a few days.

HALO laser for resurfacing skin treats:

By including HALO skin treatments in your long-term skincare plans, you’re improving your skin texture and clarity within a week. Many patients have found that they no longer need to undergo surgery to correct concerns, while aging skin is still reaping anti-aging benefits.

*Remember that results may vary depending on skin types, concerns, and treatment level.

CoolSculpting Chin vs. Chin Lipo: The Pros and Cons

CoolSculpting Chin vs. Chin Lipo: The Pros and Cons

Are you looking to get more definition or reduce stubborn fat under your chin? CoolSculpting and chin liposuction are popular options for getting the facial profile you want. Let’s explore how CoolSculpting chin treatments and liposuction differ and the pros and cons to consider when deciding between them.

What Is CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting has primarily treated areas like the chest, abdomen, and thighs for years. But recently, it’s become popular for treating the chin as well. It is an FDA-cleared non-invasive procedure that freezes fat cells in the chin and neck area. Once the fat cells freeze, they can’t store more energy or nutrients. As a result, they eventually die and come out of the body via natural metabolic processes. As these fat cells leave the body, patients observe a gradual reduction of fat.

CoolSculpting’s process involves placing a cooling panel on the skin. The targeted cooling freezes and eliminates stubborn fat in the chin without damaging surrounding tissues. Enjoy youthful-looking contours without invasive surgery. Sit back, relax, and let the machine do its thing.

CoolSculpting Chin Before and After: What Are Results Like?*

The results of your CoolSculpting chin treatment will gradually appear over several weeks as your body eliminates the dead fat cells. Most patients see noticeable results within two to three months after their final treatment session.

As with any cosmetic treatment, personal results differ.* But as you can see in our patients’ before and after photos, people enjoy a more contoured, defined jawline. Double chins become less prominent or no longer visible, depending on the patient’s original condition. Men and women report feeling more confident after getting CoolSculpting chin treatments.

Keep in mind that CoolSculpting is a technique-sensitive treatment. Picking a reputable provider like KP Aesthetics will ensure a positive experience. We deliver unmatched, attractive results that last for months to come.

Cons of CoolSculpting

How Does Chin Lipo Differ from CoolSculpting?

Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes fat with a suctioning tool. Most people prefer CoolSculpting if they’re a good fit because it’s non-invasive. However, unlike CoolSculpting, which involves minimal downtime, lipo patients must endure a lengthy recovery after the surgery. They also risk getting permanent scars in the incision areas.

Since CoolSculpting doesn’t require incisions or anesthesia, the discomfort level is much more tolerable than lipo. The treatment isn’t painful. You feel a cooling sensation during the treatment. After, you may experience mild redness, numbness, and swelling. But these side effects subside over a few days without interference.

In contrast, liposuction surgery comes with more significant risks (as with any surgical procedure). During recovery, patients can experience infection, inflammation, or other complications that come with incisions.

Pros of Chin Lipo

Cons of Chin Lipo

Is CoolSculpting or Lipo More Effective for a Double Chin?

Generally, the chin has smaller pockets of fat than the rest of the body. CoolSculpting works well to remove these small amounts of fat, while liposuction is suitable for removing larger fat tissues. However, keep in mind that liposuction has more potential complications and side effects because it’s an invasive procedure.

CoolSculpting is FDA-cleared for skin tightening and reducing the subcutaneous fat cells in the submental region (chin, neck, and jowls). This treatment may be a good solution if you’re looking to tighten up and get a more defined facial profile. Liposuction is effective for fat loss but doesn’t tighten excess or saggy skin like CoolSculpting.

Should I Get CoolSculpting or Chin Liposuction?

Before choosing whether to use CoolSculpting chin treatments or liposuction, you must understand the difference between the two procedures. Both treatments reduce fat deposits in the submental region, but they differ in their approach and results.

CoolSculpting is a non-invasive procedure that targets fat with cooling technology instead of surgery. It banishes stubborn fat localized to the treatment site, which means the surrounding nerves and skin cells remain unharmed. You’ll experience some discomfort at most, but it shouldn’t be intolerable. Resume your daily activities after your session.

Liposuction may deliver better results if you’re after a drastic and instant transformation. But due to its non-surgical nature, CoolSculpting is ideal for people who want to reduce embarrassing double chins and neck fat without surgery, complications, scarring, or infections. While CoolSculpting results may not be as drastic, you can achieve remarkable improvement with several treatments.

How Many CoolSculpting Sessions Does My Chin Need?

Most patients see fat reduction and skin tightening in the submental area after two CoolSculpting chin sessions. Three to five treatments will produce a more impressive result. Each patient is different, and your treatment plan will depend on your goals. Consult a professional to find the precise number of CoolSculpting sessions you need.

Compared to chin lipo, CoolSculpting may require more commitment depending on how many treatments your provider says you need. Lipo is a one-and-done deal but comes with a challenging recovery period. The lack of downtime makes CoolSculpting a more attractive option.

How Long Are CoolSculpting Chin Sessions?

CoolSculpting chin sessions take only around 35 minutes. But the actual time varies depending on your treatment plan.

Before CoolSculpting, consult with KP Aesthetics to determine the best course of action for your cosmetic goals. We’ll assess your facial anatomy and the amount of chin fat you have. From there, we can establish an effective treatment plan, and you’ll get a better idea of the time commitment.

What Does a CoolSculpting Chin Treatment Involve?

CoolSculpting can work wonders in reducing a double chin and contouring the jawline.

Here’s what you can expect if you choose CoolSculpting with KP Aesthetics:


1. Consultation

Before your CoolSculpting chin treatment, you’ll have a consultation with one of our skilled specialists. Fill us in on your goals and expectations. If you’re a good candidate for CoolSculpting, we’ll craft a treatment plan based on your needs and circumstances. This plan will outline the treatment areas and the number of sessions needed to achieve your desired results.


2. Treatment

On the treatment day(s), one of our specialists will place the CoolSculpting applicator on the treatment area(s). During the cooling process, you’ll feel a suction sensation as the applicator draws the skin and fat into the device. Then, your skin will feel cool as your fat cells freeze to death.

During the treatment, you can relax and nap. Some patients may experience slight discomfort or numbness in the treated area. This isn’t a cause for concern and should subside within a few minutes.


3. Massage

After completing the cooling cycle, we’ll remove the applicator and gently massage the treated area. This helps break up the frozen fat cells and increase blood flow to the area.


4. Repeat Sessions

Depending on your treatment plan, you may need more than one session to achieve your desired results. We’ll discuss the recommended number of sessions during your consultation and schedule them accordingly.

When Will the Swelling Subside After CoolSculpting?

Mild swelling in the treated areas is normal after a CoolSculpting session. This happens because the suction pulls the tissue into the applicator for maximum contact during the treatment. Meanwhile, the cooling process targets and freezes fat cells under the skin’s surface. In general, the swelling should subside within a week.

Should I Massage My Chin After CoolSculpting?

Experts suggest that massaging the chin after CoolSculpting has benefits [1]. For instance, it can help facilitate the removal of dead fat cells from the body. This may lead to a more noticeable chin fat reduction.

Massaging the chin can also increase blood flow there, which can speed up the healing process and reduce swelling and bruising. By promoting blood flow, massaging delivers essential nutrients and oxygen to the chin.

While massaging isn’t necessary for success with CoolSculpting, it can help. If you decide to massage your chin after the treatment, make sure not to apply too much pressure or rub aggressively. Doing so can cause further irritation.

How Do I Care for My Chin After CoolSculpting?

Caring for your chin after CoolSculpting is easy, which is why so many people love this treatment. We will walk you through how to ensure a smooth recovery and optimal results. For example, you’ll need to maintain a healthy lifestyle to prevent the remaining fat cells from expanding. Drinking plenty of water will help flush out the dead fat cells.

Who Is a Good Candidate for CoolSculpting Chin Treatments?

One of CoolSculpting’s pros is it’s safe and effective for most people.

Here are some characteristics of a good candidate for CoolSculpting chin treatments:

  •  You have excess fat under the chin that you can’t reduce through lifestyle changes alone.
  •  Your skin is elastic (CoolSculpting eliminates fat, but doesn’t firm up loose or sagging skin).
  •  You’re in good overall health and don’t have medical conditions that could affect the healing process.
  •  You have realistic expectations and understand it’s not a weight loss solution.
  •  You’re committed to maintaining your results with a healthy lifestyle and touch-up treatments.

Is CoolSculpting Painful?

Unlike liposuction, which requires extensive pain management post-procedure, you can expect little to no pain from CoolSculpting chin treatments. After your session, you may experience slight discomfort and sensitivity in the treatment area. But this is normal and will disappear after a day or two.

Does Chin Fat Come Back After CoolSculpting?

You can get new chin fat cells again after getting rid of it, regardless of if you choose CoolSculpting or liposuction. The key to prolonging the results is proper maintenance.

After CoolSculpting chin treatments, the existing fat cells that die won’t come back. But to reap the best long-term benefits, we recommend patients follow a clean diet and stay active. New fat cells can manifest—but with a healthy lifestyle, you can enjoy long-lasting CoolSculpting benefits.

What Are CoolSculpting vs. Chin Lipo Costs Like?

The precise cost of either treatment depends on various factors. CoolSculpting typically requires multiple sessions, but liposuction aims to eliminate all the fat at once. CoolSculpting’s price varies depending on the clinic and your cosmetic goals. Find out how much CoolSculpting will be for you by visiting a reputable provider like KP Aesthetics. A skilled specialist will assess your chin and create an appropriate treatment plan.

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, liposuction costs an average of over $3,500. This doesn’t include the cost of anesthesia and other potential post-op expenses.

3 of the Best Ways to Reduce Cellulite

3 of the Best Ways to Reduce Cellulite

Skin dimpling, cottage-cheese skin, or orange-peel skin. Whatever you call it, it is known scientifically as the same thing—cellulite. Unfortunately, cellulite has no specific cause meaning it targets just about anyone despite their gender, age, weight, or lifestyle. If you are one of the countless people who struggle with the appearance of your skin and want to find a solution for reducing cellulite, here are 3 of the best ways to reduce cellulite and improve your skin.

1. Dry Body Brushing for Cellulite Reduction

Dry brushing, also known as garshana, is an Ayurvedic practice originally formed over 5,000 years ago in India. It is believed that body brushing or massaging the skin with a dry brush helps improve the skin’s texture by improving lymphatic flow and stimulating blood flow in the skin and soft tissue. In addition, the brushing massages adipose tissue and fibrous bands.

To get the most out of this technique, you should dry brush the skin two to four times a week and follow the brushing with a warm bath and a lotion application. This regular body brushing practice helps skin look smoother and firmer.

2. Cellulite Reduction Laser Treatment

Laser treatments are available for anyone who needs a more intense approach to reducing cellulite. Cellulaze by Cynosure is a minimally invasive laser treatment. During this treatment, a tiny laser fiber is placed beneath the skin. The laser’s energy breaks up the tough bands beneath the skin responsible for the appearance of skin dimpling. In addition, the treatment provides collagen stimulation to help thicken and smooth the skin for more optimal cellulite reduction in conjunction with laser energy.

While effective, Cellulaze is minimally invasive, requiring the insertion of the laser, with the procedure lasting one to two hours.

3. QWO Cellulite Reduction Injectable

QWO, better known as the “cellulite shot,” is the first and only injectable for reducing moderate to severe cellulite in the buttocks. The QWO injectable contains the enzyme Collagenase Clostridium Histolyticum (CCH.) It effectively and immediately begins breaking down and dissolving the bands responsible for the appearance of cellulite.

This cellulite reduction method reduces skin dimpling and smooths the skin without surgery or lasers. The injections take only 10 minutes and yields fast results. It is important to note that QWO does not entirely reduce cellulite. No cellulite reduction treatment can. However, this treatment significantly reduces cellulite in as little as one treatment. Most patients opt for three treatments, spaced 21 days apart, for the best aesthetic outcome.

QWO Cellulite Injectables in Newtown Square, PA

If you are interested in learning more about the newest and most successful cosmetic injectable for reducing moderate to severe cellulite, contact KP Aesthetics. We are the leading provider of QWO, the cellulite shot, in Newtown Square, PA.

How to Get the Best CoolSculpting Stomach Results

How to Get the Best CoolSculpting Stomach Results

CoolSculpting is a great non-surgical solution for people wanting to sculpt their bodies. It targets stubborn fat in places like the stomach and love handles. This fat reduction procedure works by destroying unwanted fat cells via controlled cooling. It should be painless if you select a skilled specialist.

KP Aesthetics is a premier provider of CoolSculpting stomach treatments in Newtown Square, PA. Call 484-420-4094 to book a complimentary consultation. Read on for tips on how to get impressive body contouring results.

What Are the 3 Tips for Getting Top CoolSculpting Stomach Results?

To get the best outcome from CoolSculpting on the stomach, you must understand what to expect and how to optimize your results. Be clear about your expectations, so your provider can devise an appropriate treatment plan.

In addition to communicating with your doctor, here are three tips for getting optimal CoolSculpting stomach results:

1. Have Realistic Expectations

CoolSculpting is no miracle cure, so having reasonable expectations is key. Contrary to what some might think, it is not a quick fix for excess fat and weight. In fact, it is not a weight loss solution. Therefore, if you have a lot of weight to lose, it’s best to focus on bringing the number on the scale down first.

Unlike invasive alternatives like liposuction, CoolSculpting results are not always immediate. Some may see improvement after the first session, but you should not expect drastic results right away. Full results can take up to three months to manifest.

2. Don't See It As a Replacement for a Healthy Lifestyle

This fat-freezing procedure can help you shed fat, but you still need to make changes in your lifestyle. For example, you should:

Treat it as an addition rather than a replacement for your fitness routine. CoolSculpting on your stomach will help you make greater progress with a solid health regimen.

3. Follow Your Doctor's Aftercare Instructions

Fortunately, CoolSculpting does not involve a painful recovery since no incisions or sutures are involved. Patients resume normal daily activities following their sessions. But depending on your unique circumstances, your provider may give specific instructions for you to follow after the procedure. Be sure to follow them and stick to your treatment plan for excellent CoolSculpting stomach results.

How Many Sessions Do I Need for the Best Outcome?

Everyone needs a different number of CoolSculpting stomach sessions to achieve their desired outcome. It typically ranges from three to six sessions. Some patients may see results quicker if they do not have a lot of body fat. While the number of CoolSculpting sessions varies per person, one thing remains true: the more you get, the better the outcome will be.

Discover the exact number of CoolSculpting sessions you need by booking an initial consultation. A body-shaping professional at KP Aesthetics can evaluate your body and tell you if CoolSculpting is the right solution.

How Much Does QWO Cost?

View of a woman squeezing her butt from the side

How Much Does QWO Cost?

Most people considering cellulite reduction often research the average QWO cost. While it is a legitimate concern, the truth is that the cost is different for everyone. The final price depends on your unique treatment plan and needs. Read on to learn more about how QWO can help you reduce cellulite and how to get a personal quote.

What Is QWO?

Before we dive into QWO cost, it is helpful to know how QWO addresses cellulite. QWO, or the “cellulite shot,” is the first and only FDA-approved injection that reduces moderate to severe cellulite. Each session restructures connective tissue to combat dimpling in the skin. Patients love QWO because it is minimally invasive. Since it does not require surgery, there is no downtime involved.

Women use QWO in their buttocks to diminish cellulite. It has an enzyme called Collagenase Clostridium Histolyticum (CHH). This exists naturally in the body and facilitates the breakdown of collagen. QWO injections target the collagen in the fibrous septae to rejuvenate and smooth out the skin.

QWO Before and After

The QWO before and after images show real results from actual patients. As seen in the images, each patient achieves a noticeable reduction in moderate to severe cellulite appearance. Unfortunately, no cellulite reduction treatment can eliminate cellulite. However, as seen in the results below, QWO does an excellent job of minimizing skin dimpling. As with all cosmetic skin treatments, results may vary per person.*

How Much Does QWO Cost?

The cost of QWO injections varies per person. It depends on various factors like:

  •  Number of injections you need
  •  Client specials or discounts
  •  Personalized treatment plan
  •  Chosen provider
  •  Where you live

Find out how much QWO will cost you by booking a free consultation with a local QWO provider. A knowledgeable specialist can craft a personalized treatment plan based on your needs, circumstances, and budget.

What Are QWO Results Like?*

Patients start to see results in as little as three weeks after the initial shot. It is typical for patients to get three treatments spaced 21 days apart for optimal results.

As with any cosmetic treatment, QWO results vary per patient.* When you visit us for a free consultation, a treatment specialist will assess your skin and cellulite concerns. Then, if you are a suitable candidate for QWO, we can devise a unique plan to help you achieve smooth, beautiful skin.

What is Botox? | Learn About the #1 Cosmetic Treatment

Most people in the world have heard of or know about Botox. For decades now, Botox has been on the market, and it remains the most popular anti-aging treatment in the world. So, what is Botox capable of? What can Botox do for you? Read on to learn answers to these frequently asked questions and learn all about this cosmetic injection treatment.

Botox Benefits

  •  Proven as safe and effective in 470+ studies
  •  #1 selling cosmetic injection treatment
  •  Only FDA-approved treatment to reduce crow’s feet and frown lines
  •  Quick, convenient treatments
  •  Long-lasting, natural-looking results
  •  No surgery or downtime

What Can Botox Be Used For?

Botox is primarily known for its incredible anti-aging capabilities. Millions of men and women utilize Botox injections to smooth away the signs of aging and rediscover rejuvenation. Botox is also an excellent preventative aging treatment for adults in their 20s. In addition, Botox is the most studied cosmetic treatment. Many studies have proven Botox to be effective for more than facial treatments. Botox has been clinically FDA-cleared for relieving chronic migraines, treating hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), improving an overactive bladder, and improving a lazy eye or crossed eyes.

What is Botox Made of?

Botox is formulated from the neurotoxin called Botulinum Toxin A. When injected into the muscles under the skin, Botox injections work to relax the muscles temporarily. Repeated muscle movements for our facial expressions in daily life often led to the formation of wrinkles. As the underlying muscle contractions are stopped, the overlying skin has a chance to smooth and soften. Botox is a temporary treatment. After a few months, the botulinum toxin eventually breaks down and is absorbed by the body.

Is Botox Safe?

Botox was FDA-approved in 1989 and has since established an impressive safety profile. Patients can confidently choose Botox treatments as the most researched treatment of its kind. More than 470 clinical studies have been done on Botox to prove it is safe and effective. When injected by a skilled injector in low doses, Botox is safe and carries a low risk of adverse side effects. As with all cosmetic treatments, individual results will vary regarding Botox.* However, many ways ensure you’re getting the best out of Botox.

Get the Best Botox Results

Choose a reputable and honest Botox provider in your area. Botox treatments are technique sensitive. Only professional injection specialists can deliver safe, effective, and lasting Botox results. Shopping by price alone is not a guarantee you will experience great Botox results. Consider reviews, read client testimonials, and schedule a consultation as you search for providers. During a consultation, ask about the experience and skill of the person performing your Botox treatments. These are great ways to protect your Botox investment and get outstanding anti-aging results.

QWO Cellulite Reduction Before and After*

Before and after QWO cellulite reduction images show how this treatment effectively reduces cellulite and rejuvenates the skin. As with any cosmetic injection, QWO results will vary per person.* However, each patient shows genuine and noticeable skin improvement after QWO injections. This cellulite treatment is skill dependent. For the most optimal cellulite reduction results, select an experienced, skilled provider.

How Do QWO Cellulite Reduction Shots Work?

QWO cellulite reduction is a prescription medication. Injections are FDA-approved to treat moderate to severe cellulite in the buttocks of women. This “cellulite shot” is administered into dimpled areas of the buttocks. QWO treatments are similar to other cosmetic injections such as Botox or Juvéderm.

QWO cellulite reduction contains an enzyme called Collagenase Clostridium Histolyticum (CHH.) CHH is a naturally occurring enzyme. It causes the breakdown of collagen. QWO cellulite reduction is formulated to target collagen in the fibrous septae. When QWO injects into the cellulite, the enzyme breaks down collagen-rich fibers that tug down the skin and cause a dimpling appearance. By dissolving the bands, overlying skin can bounce back and resume a smooth appearance. Treatments also stimulate new collagen, helping the skin remain smooth and supple.

How to Get Rid of Side Fat | Tips for Shedding Excess Fat

If you find yourself searching “How to get rid of side fat” on the Internet, you are not alone. Banishing stubborn love handles, muffin tops, and saddlebags is no easy feat. But rest assured that it is common among even healthy adults. Different factors like genetics, diet, and hormones can contribute to unwanted side fat. It is natural to feel self-conscious about excess fat in the midsection. Read on to learn more about why stubborn fat exists and how to prevent and reduce it.

What is Stubborn Fat?

Stubborn fat does not budge even when you eat right and have an active lifestyle. Often, stubborn fat is out of people’s control. Why? The distribution of fat cells becomes fixed when individuals reach adulthood. Women typically notice fat accumulating in the hips, thighs, and butt. Men see it on their chest and stomach areas.

Exercises for Targeting Side Fat

“Spot treating” fat is not sustainable in the long run. The best way to reduce side fat is to focus on losing weight all over your body. Not sure where to start? Begin with cardio. Examples of cardio exercises include:

  •  Biking
  •  Running
  •  Brisk walking
  •  Dancing
  •  Boxing
  •  Kickboxing
  •  Aerobics

Not only will cardio help you shed those extra pounds, but it will help you tone up.

Ready to take your exercise regime a step further? Target the midsection with these exercises:

  •  Russian twists
  •  Mountain climbers
  •  Planks
  •  Side planks
  •  Ab scissors
  •  Woodchoppers

Be sure to practice proper form when doing these. This is imperative for avoiding injury.

Healthy Eating to Reduce Side Fat

Once you nail down a workout routine that works for you, it is time to make some dietary changes. Regular exercise can only go so far if you are not eating healthy foods. A nutritious diet and consistent exercise increase your chances of reducing side fat and tightening your muscles.

  •  Eat plant-based (more fruits and vegetables) whenever you can
  •  Stay away from refined carbohydrates and sugary drinks and food
  •  Avoid unhealthy fats and processed meals

Eliminate Side Fat with CoolSculpting

If you still struggle with side fat even after challenging yourself at the gym and eating clean, CoolSculpting may help. It is a revolutionary non-invasive fat reduction treatment that uses controlled cooling to freeze stubborn fat cells. The body naturally expels the dead cells. This means that results can be long-lasting if you maintain a healthy lifestyle.

CoolSculpting is a popular procedure because it is convenient, painless, and delivers stunning results. Long gone are the days people have to go under the knife and endure a rough recovery to look their best.
