Your Complete Guide to Non-Invasive Body Contouring ...

Treatments involving body contouring, also known as body sculpting, have been used throughout the world to reduce cellulite and exterior imperfections without surgery. In addition to being non-invasive, the procedure also offers other advantages, such as no downtime, no infection risk, and no scarring.

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, in addition to anesthesia risks and infection complications, surgical liposuction may cause damage to deeper structures and organs, deep vein thrombosis, cardiac and pulmonary complications.

Body contouring without surgery or anesthesia has fewer risks compared to invasive methods. Additionally, non-invasive body contouring procedures tend to be less expensive than surgical liposuction.

Not all procedures are suitable for all patients, and not all treatments are equally effective. According to Dr Thean from Ensoul Medical Clinic, the treatment plans may vary depending on an individual's needs, goals, or other factors. In some cases, certain treatments are more effective for difficult-to-reach body parts, while other treatments are more suitable for specific body areas.

However, when it comes to non-invasive body contouring solutions, there are 3 most popular options:

In terms of non-invasive targeted fat removal, CoolSculpting is usually one of the most popular treatments. Using subzero temperatures, CoolSculpting targets fat cells with Cryolipolysis. At these temperatures, fat cells undergo cell apoptosis, otherwise known as cell death. In the weeks that follow, the dead fat cells are removed.

Patients seeking the DualSculpting treatment have the option of treating two areas at once with two machines at one time. This reduces the amount of time and the number of sessions in which the patient must come in for treatment.

Another one of the more popular non-invasive body contouring treatments would be SculpSure. With SculpSure, an FDA-approved treatment to remove fat, laser energy is used to target stubborn fat cells beneath the skin.

In addition to fat removal, SculpSure is also a great option for those with lax skin or loose skin. Lasers stimulate collagen and elastin production by penetrating deep into the dermal layers of the skin during the treatment. Thus, the skin becomes firmer and tighter.

In ultrasound fat reduction, another form of non-invasive body contouring, fat cells under the skin are damaged using ultrasound technology. Such fat is referred to as subcutaneous fat. 

Pressure and ultrasonic vibrations are used to penetrate deep into the layers of the skin. As a result, fat cells expand and break apart as a result of disruptive vibration and pressure. The fatty acids are then eliminated naturally, as with the other 2 treatments mentioned.
