Smart Lipo - The Smart Answer to Stubborn Fat

Most people are familiar with stubborn areas of fat that we cannot get rid of. Sometimes, pockets of fat on certain areas of the body just don't seem to shift. Despite a sensible diet and regular exercise, even those of us who are otherwise slim can retain areas of unsightly fat. However, this is not down to incorrect eating or exercise - some areas of fat actually are much harder to exercise or diet away!

The fat-burning process is activated by adrenal hormones which bind to receptors in fat tissues. These receptors come in two major types, alpha receptors and beta receptors. Beta receptors are responsive to adrenal hormones, so it logically follows that fatty tissue with high levels of beta receptors will burn more easily. However, alpha receptors do not respond to the hormones, so where the ratio of alpha receptors to beta receptors is high fat is much slower to burn off, leaving us with the stubborn areas that frustrate us all.

Added to this is the presence of more estrogen receptors in areas of stubborn fat. Once bound to the receptors, estrogen causes even more fat gain. Also, the lack of healthy blood circulation to areas of stubborn fat slows the metabolic process further.

These stubborn areas are not impervious to exercise, but if you feel you're unhappy with fat deposits that you can't seem to shift then Smart Lipo could be the answer. Smart Lipo can be performed quickly with minimal discomfort, bruising, downtime or scarring, and most patients require just one session.
