A non-surgical fat reduction treatment like CoolSculpting can properly and effectively remove stubborn belly fat and significantly reduce your exposure to these health risks.
Why Some Fats Refuse to Go Away
If you’ve been working out like there’s no tomorrow but the belly fats simply refuse to go away, you should know that there are certain factors that affect how fat is stored and released in the body. These factors are primarily the hormone receptors for catecholamines—hormones that can either trigger the release of fat cells or store them in the body.
Beta-receptors are responsible for the fast release of fat cells while alpha-receptors slow down the process. Additionally, these receptors have a direct impact on blood flow. If the fat cells contain more beta-receptors, there is an increase in blood flow which is why these fats are easily released from the body. To sum it up, fats that remain in the body regardless of all the tricks that you’ve done to eliminate them, have a higher content of the alpha-receptors in their cells.
Subcutaneous Fats
The most stubborn form of fat is the subcutaneous fat, which is fat under the skin. In women, these fats are generally stored around the thighs, hips, and butt areas while in men, these are usually found around the belly area.
Contrary to popular belief, subcutaneous fats are more stubborn than visceral fat. Visceral fats are those that are found in the mid-section, within the abdominal cavity. Subcutaneous fats cannot be easily eliminated with a simple combination of diet and exercise.
To properly and effectively eliminate these, cosmetic procedures are usually recommended by doctors. If you are hesitant about undergoing cosmetic surgery to remove stubborn fats, your best option is Rejuvé’s non-surgical fat reduction treatment, CoolSculpting.
