Liposuction is popular for the immediate, slimming results it produces; however, there are numerous individuals who are hesitant to undergo a surgical procedure, because it does entail a hospital stay, recovery time, and anesthesia.
Fortunately, a new plethora of nonsurgical options, which produce results similar to those of liposuction, have been developed.
It should be noted that because these procedures are considered cosmetic, most insurance companies will not assist in paying for them.
This list of new liposuction options include:

• Thermage - Thermage, whose origins hail from Europe, literally melts unwanted fat away with a heated laser that causes a patient's collagen to tighten.
  The procedure is most commonly used on the facial regions, the arms, and the thighs.
  It is a pain free procedure, and it does not require a recovery period; however, multiple sessions may be required to achieve the results that a patient is seeking.
  The natural elasticity of an individual's skin will play a large role in how effective this treatment regimen is.
  
• LipoDissolve - LipoDissolve is the latest advance in nonsurgical liposuction alternatives.
  With LipoDissolve, mild medications and enzymes are injected into areas of unwanted fat on the patient's body.
  The chemical formulas literally cause the fat in a person's body to dissolve, and the fat particles are flushed from the body through a person's urine.
  This treatment regimen is also popular for treating unwanted cellulite.
  Because a variety of different medications are used, LipoDissolve has a rather quick recovery period.
  Generally, most individuals return to their daily routines within 48 hours of having the procedure performed.
  
• Mesotherapy - Throughout Europe and South America, mesotherapy has been used for numerous years as an alternative to surgical liposuction.
  Additionally, it is also effective for removing unwanted cellulite.
  With this treatment regimen, small injections of amino acids, holistic medicinal compounds, and medications are injected into the skin.
  These medicines dissolve fatty tissues underneath the skin.
  Because the needles used in this procedure are so small, the procedure is virtually painless.
  There is no required period of recovery time with this treatment option.
