Belly fat is one of the most common reasons for going on a crash diet or following a rigorous exercise routine. Sometimes though, no matter how much effort you put into your fitness routine, belly fat just won’t go away. This is exactly the body scenario that SculpSure can help you to deal with.
Before we get into the treatment, let’s first take a look at the possible causes. Below are the top three most common reasons why belly fat occurs in adults:
1. Aging
As we age, our metabolic rate declines, which basically translates to two things: the body burns calories less efficiently for energy, and more calories tend to be stored as fat in our cells that are more difficult to burn than nutrition that is more readily available from the food that we eat.
2. Menopause
Women going through menopause (and after) who gain weight will usually see the excess fats accumulated on the belly area. Menopause causes the body to produce the hormones progesterone and estrogen at a slower rate, and testosterone levels also begin to decline (the ovaries produce testosterone and estrogen). These changes in hormone levels cause the accumulation of fats in the midsection.
3. Regular consumption of processed foods.
Processed foods contain refined sugars, and these sugars, if consumed regularly or in excessive amounts, have the tendency to increase inflammation in the body (which could result in stubborn belly fat). Additionally, regular consumption of refined sugars (white grains, sweetened drinks and foods, etc.) can cause the body to store the calories from these foods as fat.
What is SculpSure and how can it help?
SculpSure is the latest noninvasive fat reduction treatment to target stubborn fat around the midsection and flanks. SculpSure is a noninvasive laser device cleared by the FDA for permanent fat reduction.
SculpSure isn’t intended for those who are overweight or obese, but rather, is a fat reduction instrument that eliminates stubborn belly fat in those who are within 30 or less of their Body Mass Index (BMI).
