In ancient human history, there was never a need for people to undergo body sculpting and weight loss programs because practically everyone was fit. Fast forward to modern times.

With the greater availability of food today, it’s only natural that we have over indulged to consume more food than needed. And of course, that is the point where people begin getting repulsed by what they see in the mirror.

At that point a myriad of high-tech devices were invented to sculpt or contour the body back to a desired state. Since many people have a natural aversion to hard work and exercise a natural device evolution occurred. In this article, we'll discuss some of the specific machines and devices that can promote body sculpting to improve appearance.

How body sculpting developed 

For a very long time in human history, the only way to lose weight or to slim down specific areas of the body was to manage your diet and exercise regularly. It was always thought that weight loss would occur naturally if a person simply took in fewer calories than were burned naturally throughout the day. In the 1980s, an alternative became available for losing fat through liposuction. However, this is an invasive process that required surgery which carries a certain amount of risk. In addition, there was usually a considerable amount of swelling and bruising that took place, and results often took months before they became obvious.

It became apparent that there was a need for a process that could target specific areas of the body when the intention was not to lose a huge amount of weight, but to tone up muscles in certain areas around the body. Eventually, researchers discovered that fat cells could be frozen off, melted off, or targeted with radio frequency waves that caused their breakdown. Enter the age of body contouring, and a number of methods that could achieve body sculpting on specific body areas without any signs that a procedure had been performed.

All of these high-tech methods are far more comfortable for the patient than liposuction or any other kind of surgical solution. The kind of solution that is most effective for one person might not be quite as effective for someone else. This is due to differences in body type, lifestyle considerations, and a number of other factors that can influence the process. Some of the best and most highly rated devices are described below, so you can make a more informed decision about your own approach to body sculpting.

Pagani CRYO STAR machines

Pagani manufactures several versions of its highly successful CRYO STAR line of body sculpting devices, all of which are distributed in North America by Skin Science Solutions. The three machines in particular that we'll describe are the CRYO STAR 5.0, the 6.0., and the 6.0 Static machines. Any of these three would be a tremendous boost to your body sculpting efforts, and in a relatively short period of time, you can expect to see noticeable results.

CRYO STAR 5.0 - the primary features of this device include its 50 mm wand, a portable carrying case, a 22 mm coupler, the capability to handle client data storage, its virtual assistant, the included ability to access tutorial videos, and the capability of upgrading the machine at some point. This is a non-invasive, all-natural approach to body sculpting that relies on the principle of thermal shock to achieve its effectiveness. Thermal shock treatment incorporates alternating periods of exposure to heat and to cold, and these trigger thermoregulatory responses from the body that have the immediate effect of accelerating your metabolism. The cold temperature delivered by the machine freezes fat cells in the treatment area, effectively killing them off. This works because fat freezes before the skin or surrounding tissue does, so the fat is the only substance affected by the freezing. Once the fat cells have been killed off, they are eliminated by the body's normal processes, although this will sometimes take several weeks. This was the first thermal shock device developed in the product line, and it has proven to be so effective that it is still in regular use in clinics all around the country.

CRYO STAR 6.0 - this version of the Skin Science Solutions body sculpting devices is the newer version of the same effective machine described above. CRYO STAR 6.0 includes two wands for usage on patients, with a 32 mm wand added to the standard product package, and it is upgradeable to include Static Pads at some future point.

CRYO STAR 6.0 with Static Pads - as the most recent offering from Pagani for body sculpting, the CRYO STAR 6.0 with Static Pads offers touchless technology as one of its primary appeals. This is possible because there are four static pads included, and these can be placed at trouble spots around the body. Either of the two wands can be used by the therapist while the patient receives an automated session of contouring. 

Any of these three devices is quite capable of delivering the kind of body sculpting results that will make your appearance much closer to how you'd like to be. 

Contouring vs. weight loss

People who are obese or who need to lose a significant amount of inches are better off seeking professional assistance from the medical community.  All body sculpting devices are developed on the premise that a number of inches must be lost in a specific area in order to achieve a more desirable appearance. 

When you've already tried diet and exercise as a way to contour your body, and it hasn't achieved the desired results, that's when you should turn to one of the best body sculpting machine above. These have been designed specifically to target stubborn areas that refuse to give up fat, regardless of how much or how intensely you exercise and work out. If you need to lose a few inches from one specific area of your body that has been resisting your efforts, you should definitely consider one of the best body sculpting machine available today.
