Non-surgical body contouring involves minimally invasive techniques to remove stubborn areas of fat and provide more tone and desired shape to one’s body. There are a variety of different body contouring methods, including:

• Cryolipolysis, which uses controlled cooling to eliminate fat cells (CoolSculpting)
• Injection lipolysis, which uses injectable deoxycholic acid to eliminate fat cells (Kybella)
• Laser lipolysis, which uses controlled heating and laser technology to eliminate fat cells (SculpSure)
• Radiofrequency lipolysis, which uses controlled heating, radiofrequency (RF) energy, and ultrasound technology to eliminate fat cells (BodyFX or truSculpt)

At InShape Medical, the primary body contouring procedure we use is BodyFX fat reduction, which combines radiofrequency energy and deep tissue heating with suction and negative pressure to provide stunning results.

With a BodyFX body contouring procedure, a medical esthetician uses a hand-held device that delivers radiofrequency to the treatment area through a series of pulses that occur at a rate of 1 million cycles per second. Simultaneously, the instrument also vacuums or suctions the area to smooth out the treatment area. In addition to burning fat, the RF energy also tightens the skin, which is a unique feature of BodyFX body sculpting.

BodyFX is a safe treatment—approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)—that most patients find comfortable and painless. Additionally, there is no downtime with BodyFX treatment! Following the procedure, you should be free to resume your daily routine, whether that involves work, grocery shopping, or a day at the beach.

Non-surgical body contouring can help if you are looking to get rid of stubborn areas of fat that are difficult to eliminate through diet and exercise. With that being said, it is not intended as a weight-loss method or a viable substitute for a healthy diet and regular exercise, but it can be a great complement to those healthy habits.

Non-surgical body contouring provides patients with numerous benefits! While the results are not always as dramatic as surgical body contouring procedures, such as liposuction, non-surgical body contouring is safer, more convenient, and significantly less invasive. With that in mind, some of the benefits of non-surgical body contouring include:

• Tightens the skin
• Eliminates fine lines and wrinkles
• Excellent complement to diet and exercise routines
• Non-invasive way to get rid of stubborn pockets of fat with little to no downtime
• Reduces the appearance of cellulite
• Safe and effective with fewer risks
• Quick treatment sessions
• Often less expensive than surgical options

Individuals who want to get rid of cellulite or have areas of stubborn fat that they want to get rid of but have not been successful through diet and exercise can benefit from non-surgical body contouring! Body contouring can be used on the abdomen, arms, buttocks, chest, chin, décolletage, face, neck, thighs, or waist.
