Every year, hundreds of thousands of women and men choose noninvasive body contouring to help them get rid of stubborn fat and improve their overall contours. Completely customizable, nonsurgical body contouring requires no anesthesia, no sedation, no sutures, and no prolonged downtime, making it an extremely popular option for improving both your body and your confidence.
Michele Meinhart, FNP, offers several options for noninvasive body contouring for patients at Starkey Medical Esthetics. In this post, she breaks down the basics of body contouring and the three primary treatments that can help you enjoy slimmer, sleeker contours without surgery.
When it comes to losing weight, diet and exercise are your best friends — even though you may not always get along. The problem: Even when diet and exercise help you achieve your weight goals, they can’t always get rid of stubborn pockets of resistant fat, leaving you feeling less accomplished (and less confident) than you’d hoped.
Noninvasive body contouring was specifically designed to help eliminate those pockets of diet- and exercise-resistant fat without the rigors, risks, or expense of invasive surgery. Instead, these techniques harness the power of targeted energy to penetrate your skin painlessly and without damage, focusing on the deeper layers of fat that leave you looking lumpy despite your success in losing weight.
In fact, body contouring is ideal for women and men who are at or near their ideal weight, providing the finishing touches that give you the toned, tight, sleek contours you’ve been dreaming about. And by starting treatment now, you can enjoy those sleeker contours by the time warm weather returns in just a few short months.
Our team offers several options for body contouring, and though the goal may be the same — give you the sleeker, slimmer contours you want — the way that goal is achieved differs from one approach to the next.
SculpSure treatment uses the targeted energy of laser technology to literally melt away stubborn fat, breaking down fat walls and liquefying fat so that your body can eliminate it naturally. Targeted laser energy penetrates your skin without harming it, targeting fat cells in the deeper layers of tissue. SculpSure is ideal for treating stubborn fat in the belly, flanks, thighs, back, and even under your chin, with each treatment taking about a half hour.
Morpheus8 may be better known for its benefits as a noninvasive “facelift” treatment, but it’s also highly effective in removing targeted pockets of fat and tightening sagging skin, too. Morpheus8 body treatments use radiofrequency (RF) energy to melt fat combined with microneedling to stimulate collagen development, helping your skin look firmer and more toned. It’s great for smoothing away dimpled cellulite deposits, too.
Evolve Tone uses a completely different approach to body contouring. During treatment, the Evolve device emits pulses of electromagnetic energy through your skin to the underlying muscle tissue. Each pulse causes muscles to contract, just like they do during vigorous exercise. The result: You get the benefits of hundreds of crunches and similar exercises in just one 30-minute session, without ever breaking a sweat.
The new year is a great time to finally banish stubborn fat and give you the body and the confidence you deserve.
