Abstract

Abstract : In this article, the author will be reviewing fat anatomy and physiology, as well as outlining how fat is distributed. Only after this baseline knowledge is established, can a comprehensive discussion on how to body contour by reducing fat be discussed thoroughly. The way cellulite develops and why females are predisposed to it is also detailed, followed by emphasis on the chronology in a holistic slimming approach (first is fat loss, then toning, followed by firming, anti-cellulite, figure shaping and spot reduction), the proper sequence of treating from the inside going out or from the inner visceral fat to the outer subcutaneous fat, from the deep reserve fat of the subcutaneous fat towards the superficial fat of the subcutaneous fat, and what 'specific' parameters should be used for each 'separate' energy (for example, infrared, radiofrequency and skin curving) after discussing the vast myriad technologies involved in different non-invasive energy based devices, including those employing lasers, primarily for aesthetic purposes, but consequently with health benefits.
