Research: Top Liposuction Alternative for 2013
FOR OUR STUDIES ON ON THE TOP LIPOSUCTION ALTERNATIVES FOR 2014, 2015 AND 2016 CLICK HERE, HERE & HERE
Our Goal:
After a few months of hard work its about time to present the first independent LipoAdvisor comparison study on the most popular Liposuction Alternatives! The number of people turning to Liposuction Alternatives is continuously increasing and this is why we felt its important to figure out which are the best! So the goal of this study was to compare and evaluate the most popular Liposuction Alternatives!
Most Popular Techniques
Our first issue was that there are no statistics on the number of treatments carried out during the last months for each technology! So our first thought in order to find which are the most popular techniques was to combine the results of several online tools that count how many possible consumers conduct an online search (through Google, Bing, Yahoo etc) for the exact name of each technique (for example i Lipo, Zerona etc) in a monthly base! We gathered, combined and evaluated global stats from Google Trends, Google Keywords Tool, Bing Keyword Research and Market Samurai and here is the list of the 5 Most Popular Non Surgical Fat Removal Technologies:
Our Evaluation System
The next step of our research was to compare these 5 techniques! We didn’t want to lead ourselves and visitors to wrong conclusions! This comparison shouldn’t be an arbitrary conclusion based in subjective, impartial criteria. This is why we felt we should base our comparison study on a combination of the features of each technology and real testimonials from real people speaking about their experience with the technique they opted for! The good thing is this task was done beforehand (we had already published review articles for all these technologies, based on real facts – at this point we need to thank RealSelf.com for providing hundreds real testimonials)! So most of the work was already done! What we had to do was just build our evaluation system based on objective factors! We set safety, efficiency and consumers’ feedback as our most important parameters because we strongly believe these three are actually what a possible consumer should consider before anything else (this is why we gave more gravity to these three parameters as you can see below)! So, lets have a look at our evaluation system:
- Side Effects: 10 points if no side effects appear, 0 if the patient faces severe side effects
- General Consumer Feedback: 10 points for the technique with the higher positive feedback, 2 for the technique with the lower feedback
- Efficiency: 10 points for the most efficient procedure, 2 for the less
- Cost: 5 points for the less expensive procedure, 1 for the most
- Skin Tightening: 3 points if the technique also provides skin tightening, 0 if not

- 4th: VelaShape 17 points
- 5th: Thermage 12 points
Conclusion
So the top choice according to our study is Coolsculpting while i Lipo and Zerona came really close! What we need to highlight is that this is an 100{f4e1575822752660c3387461b06f16047197db710b64f29e8565d582c3a8cd4f} unbiased study, while LipoAdvisor.com is an independent portal with no connections to any of the companies manufactured these products! Though a real offline poll with real people would probably give more accurate results (probably we will conduct an online poll a few months later) we believe this study is based in objective criteria and its results are pretty close to the real truth! Finally we have to notice that probably there are some techniques we are probably not aware of (probably some recently launched brands), that are not taken into consideration while conducting our research and this is why we are going to conduct a new comparison every year on January!
As always, the decision is yours! What we would highly recommend is to conduct a thorough research on these 5 procedures (our detailed articles on each of these products will definitely help you – you can find them on the right column of our site) before you decide which is the best for you!

Im 70 and tired of this fat belly that makes me look to thick. Depending on prices, and osha results that Im going to look up. I am going to get it lipoed, but honestly I dont see that much of a difference. It might be the clothes they are wearing before, then all greased up and in cute clothes that give the illusion of great results.

Hello Mrs Linda and thank you so much for your message!
We need to tell you that LipoAdvisor.com is an independent with no suspicious earnings on presenting liposuction as a kind of miracle! But truth is that Liposuction DOES provide REAL results! Please tell us more about you in order to give you some ideas/advice on what technique should opt for!

I had 6)1 hour treatments of nonsurgical lipo
And skin Tightening done with Laser in Miami
For half the cost of cool sculpting and the results
were amazing results with just 1 after 3 it was a huge
Difference. I will never waste my money
And pain on cool sculpting. I paid 600$ for 6
treatments 100$ for each.
