The annoying fat in the waist is hard to lose, shock wave lipolysis can help eliminate it

Loving beauty is a woman's nature, and losing weight is a lifelong mission. However, for older women, tenderloin and saddle fat are always a nightmare for losing weight. A 45-year-old woman living in Taipei City goes to the gym every day to maintain her figure, but the annoying fat on her waist is always difficult to remove. She is determined to seek help from liposuction. The doctor recommends targeted shock wave lipolysis to adjust the body lines.

For mature women, tenderloin, saddleback and other parts are the most difficult to eliminate.

Dr. Zeng Xinglong, deputy director of Shutian Clinic and a dermatologist, said that many "sister-in-law groups" have appeared in the clinic seeking ways to make themselves slimmer, and their requirements for body shape are no longer limited to pleasing others, but to make themselves feel happy and more confident. But as for the fat in the belly after giving birth and the saddle fat on the outside of the thighs, I can only beg for mercy. No matter how hard I try to lose weight, they won't go away. I usually try to cover them up with clothes.

Dr. Zeng Xinglong pointed out that targeted shock wave lipolysis can avoid traditional invasive liposuction and achieve the goal of eliminating surface fat. It mainly targets the fat on the abdomen and both sides of the waist, and can reduce local excess fat in an effective and safe way.

Principle of Targeted Shockwave Lipolysis

Targeted shock wave lipolysis uses a hand-controlled ultrasound transmitter to transmit focused ultrasound waves into the fat layer, breaking up the fat and tightening the skin at the same time, while leaving surrounding important structures such as blood vessels and connective tissues unaffected. During the treatment, fat cells are broken down and the contents of the fat cells, called triglycerides, are broken down and transported to the liver to be excreted through the body's natural metabolism.

Target customers

Suitable for people aged 18 and above, with a subcutaneous fat layer of at least 2 cm (measured by fingers and must be greater than 3 cm), a BMI value between normal to moderately obese (BMI 25-30), who are troubled by local obesity but do not want to undergo invasive liposuction or lipolysis surgery.

Postoperative care

After each treatment, drink 300-500cc of warm water immediately. Proper diet control is also very important. Try to maintain proper exercise (at least 20-30 minutes a day). Drink more water within 2-3 weeks (adding 300cc of water to each meal is best). Avoid drinking, overeating or eating late-night snacks. After 2-4 weeks, you can receive the next treatment.
