Do you have pockets of body fat around your waist or belly that seem impossible to eliminate? Are you killing yourself at the gym only to remain disappointed with stubborn fat? Maybe it is time to consider a complement to your exercise regime with Liposonix treatment.
Comfortably performed in our office, Liposonix is nonsurgical and is not liposuction. Instead Liposonix uses ultrasound technology to permanently destroy unwanted fat cells. Your skin will remain smooth and unharmed following treatment, while the fat cells below the surface are expelled naturally from the body.
Liposonix is so effective that many patients experience a reduction in one whole pant or dress size after just one treatment. Many similar services on the market require multiple treatments to achieve these results. Again, Liposonix is not surgery and there is no downtime required following treatment.
Liposonix can be used to slim the waist, hips, thighs, buttocks, arms, back, and legs. It is appropriate treatment for both men and women of all ages and skin types. If you’re ready to say goodbye to that muffin top for good – contact us for your Liposonix consultation today.
What is Tickle Lipo?

If you are considering a liposuction procedure for the elimination of your stubborn fat deposits, Dr. Kimmel hopes that you’ll consider the unique benefits of “Tickle Lipo.”
Tickle Lipo’s formal name is Nutational Infrasonic Liposculpture and is FDA approved for the removal of fat cells from the body. It is a relatively new product on the cosmetic surgery market but offers many advantages to patients.
Tickle Lipo works similar to other liposuction procedures in that it uses a cannula (or thin metal tube) to create motions that allows fat cells to break up and be suctioned out of the body. However, Tickle Lipo is unique in how it moves and breaks up those fat cells. The cannula is powered by air pressure and creates a patented oscillation and vibration that is more effective against fat cells than any other liposuction device.
Tickle Lipo is also advantageous for many patients because it preserves nearby, non-fatty tissues, creating less trauma within the body. Patients report loving Tickle Lipo, because just as the name indicates, it is not a painful procedure and instead feels like a tickle sensation below the surface of the skin when performed under local anesthesia.

Are You Torn Between Liposuction and Tummy Tuck?

“I have done everything to make my tummy appear flat and firmer but none of those things are actually working” is one of the most common statements we hear from men and women during consultations here at our Pottsville plastic surgery practice.
By and large, these patients are often torn between getting a liposuction or a tummy tuck. Each procedure has its own set of benefits and limitations and it all depends on your needs, preferences, and the outcomes you have in mind. If you’re on the same page as these patients, read on below to finally figure out which procedure suits you best!
When to Choose Liposuction
There are various types of liposuction out there but their goal is one and the same, that is to remove excess fats and skin tissues that cling to your abdominal area despite following a strict diet and exercise routine.
Liposuction is ideal if your skin has good elasticity. However, if you end up with loose, hanging skin after the excess fat has been removed, you might also want to consider a tummy tuck in conjunction with liposuction because the latter only removes fat but does not tighten skin.
If you’re not aware of it yet, liposuction does more than remove excess fat in the abdominal area. It is also effective in reducing the appearance of pockets of fat in the back, arms, neck, hips, buttocks, thighs, ankles and breasts (that is in males suffering from abnormal breast enlargement).
When to Choose a Tummy Tuck
As mentioned earlier, a tummy tuck procedure (also known as abdominoplasty) is suited for individuals with loose skin and muscles in the abdominal area. It has also been shown to be effective in removing stretch marks and improving the appearance of flabby abdominal skin following massive weight loss and pregnancy.
Are you still confused between the two? Get in touch with us for an initial consultation and we’ll help you figure out. Apart from a tummy tuck and liposuction, we offer several body-contouring options that you might want to look into depending on your cosmetic needs and preferences.
