If a few stubborn areas affect your ability to achieve your body sculpting goals, you may be seeking a solution that targets these problem spots without requiring incisions or recovery time. Non-surgical body contouring helps you shape your figure so you can enjoy the results of your efforts and feel more motivated to keep working on yourself.
What is Non-Surgical Body Contouring?
All bodies have the unfortunate tendency to store fat in a few hard-to-budge locations, and even hours in the gym sometimes leave you without the definition you desire. Your Capital Laser & Skin Care team offers non-surgical body contouring to sculpt areas like the abdomen, thighs, arms, and many more, whether you focus on fat removal, muscle toning, or both.
What are My Options for Non-Surgical Body Contouring?
We will help you choose the best non-surgical body contouring method based on your goals and other factors. Deciding which one will work best for you means understanding what each one is meant to accomplish.
CoolSculpting®
As the most widely known body sculpting treatment, CoolSculpting® removes fat by lowering its temperature enough to damage the fat cells without affecting the skin. This freezing process (cryolipolysis) damages the fat cells, allowing your body to remove them over time. Treatment can remove up to 25% of fat from the area in a single session.
truSculpt® Flex
If your gym efforts have not given your targeted muscle groups the tone and definition you want, truSculpt® Flex can help. This treatment uses electromagnetic energy to stimulate muscle contractions, producing thousands of repetitions in just minutes. You achieve more shapely, developed muscles that make your figure look more sculpted.
Is There Any Downtime After Non-Surgical Body Contouring?
One benefit of these treatments is the ability to schedule them on your own time without disrupting your daily life. Non-surgical body contouring has no downtime, allowing you to return to work or your exercise routine immediately. The most common effect is minor redness that fades quickly.
People who have truSculpt® Flex may notice muscle soreness similar to the effects of a workout. Those who have CoolSculpting® can experience some numbness or tingling in the area for a few days.
Am I a Good Candidate for Non-Surgical Body Contouring?
Since they are non-invasive, these treatments are safe for almost all healthy adults. However, ideal candidates are close to their goal weight and want to target specific problem areas. Body contouring is not intended as a weight loss procedure.
People with certain medical conditions should not have these treatments. For example, those with pacemakers or other medical implants should not have truSculpt® Flex. We will discuss which options are most suitable for your needs.
