frequently asked questions about non-invasive body contouring/ body sculpting?

So you’ve been exercising regularly. You’ve been eating a healthy diet. You’re feeling great, but you’re still not seeing the results you dreamed of. What can you do? If you have stubborn areas of fat that you want to get rid of, or simply wish the shape of a part of your body was different, you might be wondering if non-surgical body sculpting treatments are right for you.

Body sculpting procedures like those we offer at body bella contouring are fast, non-invasive, and help to quickly achieve results. Let’s take a look at some of the commonly asked questions about body sculpting.

What is body sculpting?

Body sculpting targets and kills fat cells in the body without surgery. It allows you to shape and lose stubborn fat in areas such as the upper arms, abdomen, hips, and thighs.

Not only does body sculpting help destroy fat, but it also reduces cellulite, promotes healthy blood circulation, and strengthens connective tissue.

This procedure is ideal for those who are close to their ideal weight, but have parts of their body they’d like to shape, tighten, tone, or define a little more.

How does body sculpting work?

Body sculpting procedures use different types of energy to kill fat cells and visibly tighten skin. Once the treatment is complete, the body processes and filters out the destroyed fat cells over the course of the next 3-4 months, which is when most people see the full effect of the procedure.

How is body sculpting different from liposuction?

So you know that body sculpting kills fat and helps shape and firm targeted areas of your body. But isn’t that what liposuction does? Sort of, but with a few key differences.

Liposuction uses a suction technique to remove fat from targeted areas. It is a surgical procedure that requires anesthesia and a longer recovery time (usually 1-2 months) than body sculpting. Associated risks include complications from anesthesia, bleeding, and uneven fat reduction.

Body sculpting has minimal side effects and because it is non-invasive, it allows you to get back to your normal routine immediately following treatment.

How long does a body sculpting treatment take?

Depending on the type of treatment, your body sculpting appointments may take anywhere from 30-90. You can usually plan on coming in for a minimum of 6 sessions but typically 8-12 appointments before the treatment is complete, and will usually see full results over the next 3-4 months.

Appointments will usually be scheduled 72 hours apart to allow the body time to rid itself of fat debris and toxins.

How should I prepare for body sculpting treatments?

it is very important that you adhere to the pre-treatment instructions provided to you during your initial consultation. Most of us have had procedures done where we’re not supposed to eat for hours beforehand. Thankfully, you don’t have to worry about that with body contouring!

However, there are a few simple things that you must do before your body contouring treatments and continue throughout your treatment plan.:

• Increase your water intake for 2 days beforehand. a minimum of 64 ounces a day is recommended. since radio frequency targets the water in fat cells, keeping hydrated before and after your appointment will help the effectiveness of the procedure

• Keep your treatment areas out of direct sunlight for a week beforehand. We don’t want any sunburns!

• Avoid wearing makeup or deodorant on your treatment area. These might irritate the skin during the procedure.

• do not consume fatty foods or large amounts of carbohydrates. it is important to consume a healthy diet.

• do not consume alcohol or caffine at least 48 prior to you session and for at least 24 hours following your treatments.

• it is highly recommended that you exercise for at least 30 minutes/ day.

What can I expect after body sculpting?

Because body sculpting procedures are non-invasive, you can return to normal activities immediately following treatment. You may experience some redness, swelling, or tenderness around the treatment area for a few days following the procedure. However, pain is usually very minimal.
