Electricity As A Liposuction Alternative?

Disclaimer: This news article does not come from a mad scientist's laboratory.

Jokes apart, in what seems to be a revolutionary step, a clinic in Springfield uses a technology called Arasys treatment in order to stimulate the body's metabolism into functioning as a weight loss trigger. The sensation, according to one user felt like an electric toothbrush on her skin and left her 'speechless'.

The technicians who work the machine make use of a person's BMI, height, weight and body fat to predict the number of sessions required to reach the ideal index. The process is viewed as an alternative to liposuction and is believed to be equivalent to doing 1,500 sit-ups.

Such cosmetic surgery 'alternatives' are not new though.

A machine called Maestro works on similar lines, and uses electricity to periodically block transmission on the digestion-controlling vagus nerve. Experts on bariatric surgery claim that such technology is much safer than a Gastric Bypass Procedure.

Another weight loss system and liposuction surgery alternative, Slendertone Flex is a much older player in this market and is even FDA approved. This device was modeled on the lines of a toning belt and is said to reduce weight in the abdominal area by causing the tummy muscles to contract.

Rigorous testing is required before any of these electricity or battery powered weight loss contraptions are actually made use of to reduce significant fat content. A lot of physicians and plastic surgeons are optimistic about this emerging area though especially for use by patients who do not respond to any particular weight loss plan.
