Beauty is no more restricted to the wide range of products available in the market and following a religious skincare routine. It’s gone above and beyond that. The latest being non-invasive treatments aka ‘lunchtime procedures’.

These procedures are non-surgical and target specific problem areas to achieve desired results. They are also easier to administer with minimal downtime. If what you read has piqued your interest, listed below are the treatments you should know about.

FAT FREEZING

WHAT IS IT?

Forget about feeling the burn, fat freezing, also known as Cyrotherapy, is revolutionising treatments that use cold temperatures. “It is a non-surgical process that uses the cryolipolysis technology for freezing fat cells, resulting in permanent fat reduction,” says Dr Shuba Dharmana, Dermatologist, Lejeune Medspa, Bengaluru. Fat cells are more susceptible to cold, and can be destroyed at chilly temperatures. Fat freezing helps trim unwanted bulges on the belly and love handles without any incisions. It is, however, not for people who are looking for weight loss, but for contouring and toning the body.
