I want to slim down

While diet and physical activity are essential for slimming down, they may not always be enough to get rid of stubborn fat deposits. These fatty bulges can be a source of insecurity for many people who try to hide them. Without resorting to surgery, aesthetic medicine offers various solutions to effectively reduce persistent fat and refine your silhouette.

Localized Fat Deposits

Fat deposits are small excess pockets of fat that form adipose tissue. These can be located in very specific parts of the body or spread over broader areas, such as the thighs or arms.

Adipose tissue is made up of adipocytes, which are eight times larger than regular cells and responsible for fat synthesis and storage to provide the body with energy. The number of adipocytes is fixed after adolescence, and their size adapts to the body’s needs. When fat intake is lower than energy requirements, they shrink. Conversely, when fat intake exceeds energy needs, they expand, sometimes up to ten times their original size, leading to excess fat deposits.

These fat deposits can settle in several areas of the body, such as :

  • Thighs
  • Buttocks
  • Abdomen
  • Saddlebags
  • Inner knees
  • Neck
  • Chin

Several factors contribute to fat deposits. Weight gain, associated with a sedentary lifestyle and an overly rich diet, is the primary cause. However, hereditary predispositions can favor fat storage in some individuals. Hormonal imbalances and fluctuations, such as during puberty, pregnancy, and menopause, also play a significant role.

How to Eliminate Excess Fat with Dr. Aimé ?

Equipped with state-of-the-art technology, Dr. Aimé helps you achieve a slim, harmonious silhouette. During an initial consultation, she will conduct an assessment to develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs. By combining various aesthetic medicine methods, she offers firming and the elimination of localized fat deposits.

Cryolipolysis with Cristal Pro

Cryolipolysis is an aesthetic medicine method designed to destroy fat cells using cold temperatures. A device is applied to the fat deposits, exposing the adipocytes to extremely low temperatures, causing their breakdown. These fat cells are then eliminated by the lymphatic system over the following weeks. This technique is painless, non-invasive, and offers permanent results. Since adipocytes cannot regenerate, once destroyed, they disappear for good.

Cristal Fit

Cristal Fit is an effective complement to cryolipolysis. This treatment is designed to sculpt the body and define contours by applying electromagnetic waves to stimulate muscles. These waves trigger a cycle of intense muscle contractions far exceeding those achieved during a regular workout.

Muscles contract at 100%, optimizing muscle mass gains. Deep fat is dislodged, resulting in a firmer, more toned appearance.

Results After Slimming Treatment

The combination of Cristal Pro and Cristal Fit treatments delivers highly effective results. These results are progressive and become visible over several weeks, as the body gradually eliminates the fat deposits. You will notice a significant improvement in your silhouette as localized fat deposits disappear and are replaced by muscle. The total number of sessions required depends on the extent of the fat deposits, age, and patient history.
