BODY CONTOURING

Body Contouring (Non-Surgical Fat Reduction)

What’s the Procedure:

Body contouring refers to non-surgical techniques used to reduce localized fat pockets and tighten skin in areas like the abdomen, thighs, arms, and double chin. Popular methods include Cryolipolysis (fat freezing), RF lipolysis, ultrasonic cavitation, and HIFEM.

Mechanism:

Injection Lipolysis is a non-surgical fat reduction treatment that uses fat-dissolving injections (commonly deoxycholic acid or phosphatidylcholine) to break down stubborn fat deposits in areas like the double chin, arms, abdomen, or thighs.

Cryolipolysis (CoolSculpting): Freezes fat cells, causing apoptosis and gradual removal by the body

RF and Ultrasound: Heat or vibrate fat cells, breaking them down and stimulating collagen

HIFEM (High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic): Contracts muscles and burns fat simultaneously

Indications:

Localized fat bulges

Post-pregnancy belly fat

Double chin

Arm or thigh fat

People who want shaping, not weight loss

Anaesthesia Required or Not:

No anesthesia required. Some procedures use cooling or gels for comfort.

Painful or Not:

Mild discomfort or tugging (Cryolipolysis); heat or muscle soreness (RF, HIFEM). No downtime.

What to Expect from the Treatment:

Inch loss starts becoming visible after 4–6 weeks

Gradual fat reduction over 2–3 months

3–6 sessions required based on technology and fat area

Results improve with healthy diet and exercise

Who Can Do:

Ideal for healthy individuals with stubborn fat resistant to diet/exercise. Not a weight loss solution.

When It Can Be Done:

Any time of year. Common before weddings, events, or beach holidays.
