Why Body Contouring Works When Diet and Exercise Don't

You can be proud of yourself and disappointed at the same time when it comes to disciplining your mind and body to refine your physique. Exercise and diet control can help you slim down and add muscle, but why do those stubborn pockets of fat refuse to budge? 

At DiGeronimo MD Advanced Plastic Surgery in Doral, Florida, Dr. Ernest M. DiGeronimo offers body contouring using radiofrequency technology provided by InMode®.  This often works when diet and exercise can’t quite get you to your desired look. Here’s why.

What happens when you diet and work out

When you control your caloric intake, your body starts burning excess fat. When you work out, your body builds stronger muscle and bone. So why, when you look in the mirror, do you still see problems? Many people do all they can for a trim, toned body but still struggle with:

• Cellulite
• Stubborn fat pockets
• Flab
• Sagging, wrinkly skin 
• Lack of definition

It’s not your fault. Even with the most rigorous and dedicated workout and diet regimen you can’t always fix everything. What can help is body contouring.

Why InMode body contouring succeeds 

There are often fat cells that diet and exercise can’t fully eliminate. They can hide around your waistline, hips, thighs and buttocks, your underarms and back bulges, and even under your chin. These cells usually don’t affect your overall weight, but they can harm your aesthetic.

InMode technology uses radiofrequency (RF) energy that sends gentle waves of heat through layers of tissue to target wayward fat cells lurking below the surface. The cells lose their structure and fall apart in the weeks after treatment, flushed out of your system naturally as waste.

Another thing diet and exercise don’t do is target sagging, wrinkling, or inelastic skin. RF skin tightening energy  encourages the production of collagen and elastin to tighten and tone your body for your desired look. After a few treatments, you can see your self-image improve and can finally achieve the body of your dreams.

Things to know about body contouring

Dr. DiGeronimo will have a personal consultation with you to go over the InMode treatment process and help you understand what to expect. InMode won’t help you lose weight, even though it can get rid of small amounts of fat cells. 

If you’re not having luck with weight loss around your waistline or hips, liposuction can help get rid of excess fat tissue, and then you can use InMode RF skin tightening to finish up your body contouring journey.
