FAQs

Body Contouring targets and kills fat cells in the body without surgery. It allows you to shape and lose stubborn fat in areas such as the upper arms, abdomen, hips, and thighs.

Not only does body sculpting help destroy fat, but it also reduces cellulite, promotes healthy blood circulation, and strengthens connective tissue.

This procedure is ideal for those who are close to their ideal weight but have parts of their body they’d like to shape, tighten, tone, or define a little more.

Body sculpting procedures use different types of energy to kill fat cells and visibly tighten skin. Once the treatment is complete, the body processes and filters out the destroyed fat cells over the course of the next 3-4 months, which is when most people see the full effect of the procedure.

Body contouring is non-invasive and as such you avoid much of the discomfort associated with liposuction and other surgical procedures. A topical or general anesthetic can also be used to minimize pain. The worst that most patients report is a slight pinch during the treatment and some numbness that may last for a few hours afterward.

Body sculpting is non-invasive and involves little to no pain. Side effects to body sculpting procedures are very minimal, usually consisting of minor pain, swelling, or a warm feeling on the treated area.

Still, it’s always a good idea to consider your health history before getting treatment. Our friendly, highly trained practitioners will discuss which procedure will be the best for you.

So you know that body sculpting kills fat and helps shape and firm targeted areas of your body. But isn’t that what liposuction does? Sort of, but with a few key differences.

Liposuction uses a suction technique to remove fat from targeted areas. It is a surgical procedure that requires anesthesia and a longer recovery time (usually 1-2 months) than body sculpting. Associated risks include complications from anesthesia, bleeding, and uneven fat reduction.

Body sculpting has minimal side effects and because it is non-invasive, it allows you to get back to your normal routine immediately following treatment.

While removing fat will result in you weighing less, body sculpting is not a weight loss procedure. It’s no substitute for a healthy lifestyle and in order to get the best results, you should already be at or near your ideal weight.

Body sculpting works well on many different areas of the body including the neck/chin, the arms, the abdomen, the thighs, and the buttocks. 

Treatments can take anywhere between 30 to 60 minutes to complete. The exact timing will depend on the area you’re treating as well as the technology used. You should also count on undergoing multiple treatments. Most patients require anywhere from 1-3 for best results.

As far as how long it will take to actually see these results, that also varies. You can expect fat cells to start dying off within a few weeks. You’ll see some results after about a month. The full extent of the results will be apparent roughly three months after your final treatment. These are just rough guidelines. You may begin to see results earlier (or later) than this

Lipedema is a condition that is caused by abnormal fat cells disproportionately located in the lower body, and sometimes in the arms, that almost exclusively affects women.  The fat is abnormally increased in the hips and legs but significantly less in the abdomen – nearly the opposite of obesity.  The size, location, and shape of this abnormal fat results in a constellation of symptoms resulting in chronic pain, impaired mobility, and early death. Current estimates are that 1 out of 9 women have lipedema.  That means 11% of adult women, or approximately 14 million women, have lipedema in the United States alone. We provide services that will help with inflammation and lymphatic draining.
