Body shaping can be achieved through non-invasive techniques such as exercise routines and body wraps, or through injections and surgery. Mesotherapy and liposuction are more invasive options, but come with potential risks and high costs. A proper diet and exercise routine is the safest and most effective way to shape the body.
Body shaping is shaping your body to look leaner and more toned. There are several ways to achieve this look. Methods range from non-invasive techniques such as exercise routines and body wraps to injections and surgery.
A body-sculpting exercise routine is a combination of flexibility and cardiovascular training with light free weights or exercise bands to shape and tone the body without increasing overall mass. This type of exercise routine is very similar to cross training, but without the body stress of aerobics. It aids in overall well-being, helps prevent things like osteoporosis, and promotes an increased metabolism which can lead to more calories from fat burning.
Another non-invasive body sculpting option is a body wrap. Body wraps use a combination of natural ingredients, such as specialized muds and seaweed, applied to the body for detoxification and cellulite reduction. Wraps can firm and tighten, usually due to water weight loss, but the results are usually temporary.
Mesotherapy is the new non-surgical yet mildly invasive way to sculpt your body and manage your weight. Through the use of multiple injections consisting of pharmaceutical and homeopathic medicines, including plant and herb extracts and vitamins, its goal is to reduce the appearance of cellulite and skin contour. However, since the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) doesn’t regulate what’s injected, and there haven’t been many studies on its effectiveness, mesotherapy could be a dangerous body-shaping avenue.
Mesotherapy ranges from $200 US Dollars (USD) to $600 USD per treatment per body part, but requires no downtime and results are seen almost immediately. More than one session is usually required to achieve the desired look. Complications can include bruising, swelling, and a potential increased risk of infection.
Body contouring liposuction, also known as lipoplasty or liposculpture, is a cosmetic surgical procedure often used on stubborn fat deposits that are resistant to a proper diet and regular exercise routine. While it is considered a relatively safe surgical procedure, there are some risks. Side effects, ranging from a reaction to anesthesia, to heavy bleeding, to nerve damage, to an increased risk of infection, can be potentially dangerous.
Liposuction can also be expensive. Prices vary according to the area and the amount of fat to be removed. It will also cost more for a male as it is more difficult to remove the fat. Average price ranges from $2000 USD to $8000 USD per body part.
The advantages and disadvantages must be weighed individually. While more invasive treatments offer faster results, the surest route to sculpting that body is through a proper diet and regular exercise routine.
