Commonly Asked Questions About Non-Invasive Body Contouring
Is Body Contouring FDA approved?
- Yes, non-invasive Body Contouring procedures are FDA-approved. They have undergone rigorous testing to demonstrate their safety and effectiveness and are designed to be safe.
Can I lose weight with Body Contouring?
- While you can lose weight with Cavitation and Laser Lipo, it should not be used solely for overall weight loss.
Is it safe for my sensitive skin?
- Yes. Non-invasive Body Contouring treatments, such as Radio Frequency, Ultrasonic Cavitation and Laser Lipo, are considered safe for sensitive skin. These treatments use radio frequency waves to focus on fat cells and collagen fibers without harming the skin or surrounding tissues.
Is it painful?
- No. Body Contouring is non-invasive and completely pain free.
- During ultrasonic cavitation, you may hear high-pitched tones due to the frequency of the ultrasound waves used in the procedure. The sound is caused by the rapid formation and collapse of microscopic bubbles in the liquid or fat tissue, a process known as acoustic cavitation. These waves typically operate at around 20 kHz, which falls within the range of human hearing.
How long is a treatment session?
- Sessions last 60-90 minutes depending on the treatment.
How many sessions are needed?
- The number of sessions needed vary depending on individual factors, you can expect between 10-12 sessions for optimal results.
- Your personalized treatment plan will be created during your consultation.
How often can I do a treatment?
- Sessions can be performed 4-7 days apart.
Are the results permanent?
- Yes! The results you achieve are permanent.
- To maintain your results, it is recommended to eat a low-calorie diet, keep an active lifestyle and stay hydrated - drinking at least 64oz of water per day.
Does Body Contouring tighten skin?
- Yes. Radio frequency, cavitation and laser-based techniques stimulate collagen production, which improve skin elasticity and result in firmer, tighter skin. These options are particularly beneficial for individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity.
Important to Note
Body Contouring is not a “one-size-fits-all” solution for fat reduction. Results will vary depending on your starting point, goals and factors such as the individual’s body composition, lifestyle, and adherence to a daily healthy diet and regular exercise routine.
Managing expectations is key, and it’s important to have a realistic understanding of what Body Contouring can and cannot achieve.
