What Is Body Contouring?
Body Contouring is a non-surgical way of reducing fat. Today there are manydifferent technologies on the market that use technologies like ultra-lowtemperatures to freeze fat or ultrasonic waves and radio frequencies to melt fat.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Body Contouring?
If you are in good shape but have small, stubborn bulges of fat you can’t seem to lose, or if you are interested in looking trimmer without subjecting yourself to an invasive surgical procedure, body contouring might be a good solution for you.
It is most successful in individuals who have a healthy lifestyle that includes proper nutrition and fitness because the long - term outcomes are dependent on your own habits. It’s best for healthy people who are non-smokers and do not have any medical conditions that would slow down the healing process.
It is not a substitute for weight loss surgery, nor is it designed for people who have significant amounts of fat they would like removed. Body contouring is a body shaping procedure rather than a fat removal procedure.
How Is Body Contouring Performed?
Using specialized equipment, body contouring injures or damages small, targeted amounts of fat. Whether using the heat-based ultrasound or the cold energy method, the procedure is done on an outpatient basis.
In each case, an applicator is applied to the skin and the damaged fat is suctioned away by your doctor. Any damaged fat remain ing in the body will clear itself out on its own through the regular elimination process.
Are There Side Effects to Body Contouring?
You won’t have long-term side effects from body contouring, but you may experience some redness, numbness and/or swelling of the area you have had treated. And, if you are having a large area worked on, you may find that you have more discomfort. Following your doctor’s self-care advice, and discussing any concerns before the procedure, will make sure you have a speedy recovery.
How Long Will Body Contouring Last?
Results will vary with the individual, and much of it depends on your lifestyle after the contouring. Talk with your doctor at U.S. Dermatology Partners to discuss your expectations and what you can do to maintain the best possible results.
Tru Scuplt ID
The truSculpt iD system delivers monopolar radiofrequency energy non-invasively to specific areas, removing unwanted surface fat (located above the muscle). There is no anesthesia needed and little to no “downtime.” The precise temperature delivery and monitoring allow it to target fat cells optimally while maintaining a cooler skin temperature. As a result, treatments are both more comfortable and effective than other devices that use heat energy.
Tru Sculpt Flex
TruSculpt Flex is a device that transmits electrical current to specific muscle groups in your abdomen, thighs, or buttocks. The treatment is a safe and popular method of sculpting and toning areas that may not be responding to regular exercise.
