Body Contouring
Non-Surgical Body Contouring treatments are non-invasive procedures that destroy fat cells in a variety of different ways. All treatments aim to reduce or remove stubborn pockets of fat without surgery in different areas of the body -- such as the abdomen, buttocks, thighs, and upper arms. Traditional liposuction procedures differ from non-surgical body contouring primarily because non-surgical fat removal treatments do not require incisions, stitches, anesthesia, or lengthy recovery times. Non-invasive/non-surgical fat removal procedures are not intended to be weight loss solutions. Some of the procedures work by freezing fat cells, others use penetrated heat through radio frequency and more. Once the fat has been moved outside cells, the lipose is assimilated by the body and eventually removed via natural processes. Instead of being a weight-loss solution, non-surgical body contouring treatments supplement lifestyle shifts, helping you along your self-love journey.
There are virtually little to no side effects. Patients report minimal discomfort with zero downtime. The only sensations some patients report is an “awareness” of something on the skin, perhaps a slight tingling, and occasionally muscle soreness like after an intense workout, but never pain. The best candidates for non-surgical fat reduction treatments are those who have problem areas (ex: muffin top) but are not morbidly overweight. Patients must be willing to follow a strict diet and light cardio routine both before and after all treatments to achieve and maintain their results.
