Non-Surgical Body Contouring: What Are My Options?

If you’ve been following a healthy diet and exercise regimen but need a little extra help getting the results you want, check out these breakthrough non-surgical body contouring options available at FACE Skincare~Medical~Wellness!

Best Non-Surgical Body Sculpting Options

EMSCULPT NEO

If you want to treat unwanted body fat while also strengthening and toning your muscles, the newly launched EMSCULPT NEO may be the right treatment for you. EMSCULPT NEO is the most advanced body contouring device on the planet, and almost double the strength of the regular Emsculpt. Emsculpt NEO can average 30% permanent fat reduction, and 25% increase in muscle density, all by simultaneously releasing Radiofrequency (RF) and High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM)+ energies. 

This body contouring treatment creates the only 2-in-1 treatment for fat and muscle-sculpting, with results being unparalleled in the industry. The treatments are comfortable, and the recommended series is 4 weekly sessions.

Emtone

If you have cellulite on your stomach, buttocks, legs, or anywhere else, you may be a good candidate for the Emtone body-contouring treatments. FACE is the first in the country to launch this in 2020. Emtone is the first and only non-invasive treatment that can treat all FIVE major factors contributing to cellulite, including:

  • Enlarged fat chambers
  • Damaged collagen fibers
  • Loss of skin elasticity
  • Poor blood flow
  • Metabolic waste accumulation 
  • And more

Emtone™ is also the first and only FDA-cleared device to combine radiofrequency (RF) energy and Targeted Pressure Energy (TPE) to treat all forms of cellulite, which can lead to more effective and faster results for toning, contouring, and smoothing of stubborn cellulite. No pain or downtime, and only 4 weekly treatments are needed.

Cryolipolysis (CoolSculpting)

Cryolipolysis, better known as CoolSculpting, targets fat cells by freezing them. A specialized device is placed on the skin, cooling the fat beneath without harming surrounding tissue. This process kills the fat cells.

Once destroyed, the body naturally removes these dead cells over time. The entire process takes a few weeks, with results visible in about 8 to 12 weeks. Most patients see a 20-25% reduction in fat in treated areas.

CoolSculpting is FDA-approved for treating areas like the chin, abdomen, thighs, and flanks. A session typically lasts between 35 to 60 minutes. Multiple treatments may be needed, depending on the area and the amount of fat being treated.

Recovery is quick, with little to no downtime. You may experience mild side effects like numbness, redness, or swelling, but these usually resolve on their own.

TruSculpt iD

FACE Skincare~Medical~Wellness additionally offers truSculpt iD, a unique treatment that offers fat reduction and skin-tightening benefits in just a single treatment. truSculpt iD can create up to 30 percent fat reduction in a treatment area, making this an excellent treatment for patients looking for real results from their non-surgical body contouring sessions.

truSculpt iD is also faster than CoolSculpting treatments, as most sessions can be done within 15 minutes, which is a third of the time of Coolsculpting. It can be used to treat multiple zones of fat on the body simultaneously, which is great for clients who want to target stomach fat, love handles, inner thighs, outer thighs, arms, all in a 15 minute session. The treatment also has no downtime, and full results are seen in three months.

Radiofrequency and Ultrasound Treatments

Radiofrequency (RF) and ultrasound treatments are non-invasive options for reducing fat and tightening skin. These methods use energy to heat fat cells beneath the skin, causing them to break down. The body then gradually processes and eliminates these fat cells over time.

Radiofrequency treatments, like Vanquish, heat fat cells using RF energy. This method is especially effective for larger areas like the abdomen and thighs. Each session lasts 30 to 60 minutes, and 2 to 3 treatments are usually needed for optimal results.

Ultrasound treatments, such as UltraShape, use sound waves to target and destroy fat cells. It’s commonly used on the abdomen, thighs, and waist. Each session takes about an hour, and most patients need 1 to 3 treatments.

Both methods require no downtime, and side effects are minimal. Some patients may experience mild redness or tenderness in the treated areas, but these symptoms usually fade within a few hours.

Treatment Areas

Different non-surgical body contouring methods are suitable for various parts of the body. Knowing which areas can be treated with each option helps patients choose the right procedure.

CoolSculpting is effective for areas like the chin, upper arms, abdomen, thighs, and love handles. It’s a good option for smaller, stubborn fat pockets.

SculpSure targets fat in areas like the abdomen and flanks (love handles). It’s commonly used for body shaping and fat reduction in these zones.

Emsculpt is designed for areas where both fat reduction and muscle toning are needed. It’s commonly used on the abdomen, buttocks, and arms to improve muscle definition while reducing fat.

Radiofrequency and ultrasound treatments can handle larger areas like the thighs, hips, abdomen, and back. These treatments are also suitable for patients looking to treat multiple areas at once.

Each method has specific strengths depending on the body area treated, helping achieve the desired results.

Expected Results and Timelines

Each non-surgical body contouring method has its own timeline for visible results, and most require multiple sessions for the best outcome.

With CoolSculpting, patients typically see noticeable fat reduction within 8 to 12 weeks after the procedure. The fat cells gradually break down and are removed by the body. Most areas need 1 to 3 sessions for optimal results.

SculpSure produces visible changes around 6 weeks, with full results usually seen by 12 weeks. Each session can reduce fat by about 24% in the treated area. Patients usually need 1 to 2 sessions per area.

Radiofrequency treatments like Vanquish show results in 8 to 12 weeks, with 2 to 3 treatments needed for the best outcome. Ultrasound treatments follow a similar timeline, with results becoming apparent after a few months.

Emsculpt starts showing results faster, often within a few weeks, particularly for muscle toning. Patients typically need 4 to 6 sessions spaced over a few weeks for the best fat reduction and muscle-building effects.

Laser Treatments (SculpSure)

SculpSure uses controlled heat to break down fat cells. A specialized device applies laser energy to the skin, targeting fat cells beneath the surface. The heat causes the fat cells to break apart.

After the procedure, the body gradually processes and removes these damaged cells. Results can start to appear after six weeks, with the best outcomes visible around 12 weeks. Each session can reduce fat in the targeted area by about 24%.

SculpSure is FDA-approved and works well on areas like the abdomen and love handles. Each session lasts about 25 minutes, making it one of the faster fat reduction treatments available. Many patients need 1-2 treatments per area for optimal results.

There is no downtime, and patients can return to their daily activities immediately. Some may experience mild swelling or stiffness, but these effects are typically short-lived.
