How Safe and Effective is Non-Surgical Body Contouring?
Are you having trouble getting rid of those stubborn pockets of fat? Well, you’re not alone. Luckily, there are non-surgical body contouring procedures that are FDA-approved and safe. They use different technologies to reshape areas like your tummy, love handles, thighs, and arms without any surgery or downtime. And the best part is, there’s no tissue removal involved, either. So if you want to feel more confident with a beautifully contoured body, you deserve to look and feel amazing.
What are the Options for Non-Surgical Body Contouring Techniques?
The world of non-surgical body contouring is full of exciting, innovative, and–most importantly–effective options to help you achieve the body you’ve been dreaming of. Remember, your body is a work of art, and the sculptor is you. Check out the following safe and effective FDA-approved Non-Surgical Body Contouring options:
CoolSculpting is a non-surgical body contouring technique that uses cryolipolysis to freeze and eliminate stubborn fat cells. CoolSculpting works well for your hips, abdomen, thighs, and even under the chin.
Ultrasound-based procedures, like UltraShape, use ultrasound energy to target and break down fat cells in your body. These treatments offer non-surgical options and cause minimal discomfort. Your body will naturally process the fat cells, leaving you with that smooth, sculpted look you’re after.
Radiofrequency treatments like Vanquish and TruSculpt utilize radiofrequency (RF) energy to heat up and destroy fat cells. Sayonara, cellulite! As the fat cells heat up, your body will whisk them away naturally. In addition, radiofrequency treatments can help tighten your skin, giving you a more toned appearance.
Laser Lipolysis treatments like SculpSure and Zerona use low-level laser light to target fat cells, causing them to release their contents. This process, sometimes called LLLT (low-level laser therapy), involves infrared light, magnetic energy, and even vacuum massage. You’ll notice a slimmer silhouette as your body processes the released contents.
What can Non-Surgical Body Contouring do for me?
Let’s dive into the popular spots where non-surgical body contouring works magic. You’ll find that these treatments can do wonders for areas with excess fat like your:
- Chin
- Abdomen
- Hips
- Buttocks
- Upper arms
- Thighs
Remember, non-surgical body contouring is designed to target pinchable fat (that pesky subcutaneous fat) to help you achieve a more toned and sculpted look without going under the knife, and the expected outcome is impressive. After just a few sessions, you should notice some positive changes. Your treated areas will appear more sculpted and toned, which can boost your confidence. Since there’s no surgery involved, recovery time is minimal, allowing you to return to your usual daily routine.
However, keep in mind that it’s important to have realistic expectations when it comes to non-surgical body contouring. While these treatments can help reduce fat in specific areas, they aren’t meant for significant weight loss or treating obesity. Your body mass index (BMI) also plays a role in the effectiveness of non-surgical body sculpting, so results may vary depending on your starting BMI. Your results will also last a long time, but it’s important to maintain a healthy lifestyle and avoid any big changes in your weight. Even though your old fat cells won’t return, the other ones can still get bigger.
What are the Potential Side Effects?
Like any procedure, non-surgical body contouring can have minor side effects. No need to worry, though; they usually disappear quickly. You might experience some redness, swelling, or bruising in the treated area. However, they usually go away within a few days.
Unlike liposuction, non-surgical body contouring doesn’t involve anesthesia or incisions. However, some methods, like fat freezing, can make you feel a little chilly during the process.
