FAQs

While both weight loss and body contouring reduce your body fat, they work in very different ways. Weight gain and weight loss happens when your existing fat cells grow or shrink. When you lose weight, the fat cells generally shrink throughout your body. Body contouring, however, directly removes fat cells from a specific area of your body. It’s designed for people who are a healthy weight or very mildly overweight who just want to resolve one or two stubborn areas of fat. For this reason, body contouring does not generate the same results as weight loss.

Non-invasive body-contouring treatments are ideal for people who are within a healthy range of their ideal body weight, yet they require some assistance with areas that contain stubborn deposits of fat. Women after childbirth commonly request the popular “mommy makeover” procedure, which usually involves invasive and/or non-invasive body contouring treatments. Men and women who are struggling with the final pounds for a special occasion frequently undergo body-contouring procedures. If you have any undesirable areas of fat that you would like to remove or reduce without the need of surgery, then body contouring treatments may be an option for you.

Each method of body contouring has a different course of treatment, which means they each require a different amount of your time. Most treatments produces results after just one session. Please see each treatment section for recommended treatment plan for fast results.

Each body contouring treatment is FDA-approved for specific areas. But whether you want to reduce excess fat in your abdomen, “love handles,” thighs, back, chest, “double chin,” or another area, chances are that we can find the best option for you.

Once you complete your body contouring procedure(s), you don’t need to get any more treatments to maintain your results. However, it’s still possible for you to gain back the fat that was removed, so you do need to keep up with a healthy diet and exercise routine to continue enjoying your results or continue to get treatments.

Some fat reduction procedures also have the ability to tighten skin. A wholesome diet and consistent exercise have endless health benefits, and maintaining a healthy weight is just one of them. But even people with a healthy weight often have areas of unwanted fat that damages their self-confidence. That’s where body contouring comes in. It’s not about losing weight; it’s about sculpting the body you have into your desired shape.Some fat reduction procedures also have the ability to tighten skin
