Noninvasive Body Contouring: How Does It Work?

Spending many hours working out and skipping dessert without seeing any positive changes in your body can be frustrating. Lifestyle changes can make it difficult to sculpt the body effectively. Fortunately, you can remove unwanted fat in various parts noninvasively through a SculpSure treatment. Read on to learn more.

Noninvasive Body Contouring Through SculpSure®

SculpSure®, or warm sculpting, is a contouring method approved by the FDA. It reduces fat deposits that do not respond to lifestyle changes. The technique reduces fat through a natural process known as lipolysis.

Your body has fat molecules known as lipids. Lipolysis is when these molecules are separated and become small, flushable pieces that the body can remove quickly from its system.

How Does the Treatment Work?

The treatment entails laser heating the fat cells in the targeted region. The heat penetrates your skin's surface to the deeper tissues to increase its temperatures. The heating up of the tissues breaks down the fat cells in the targeted region.

The dead fat cells in your system are cleared by the body gradually. As it does, the treated areas become more contoured and sleeker.

What to Expect 

The treatment session is quick and can last for less than half an hour. You can feel a tingling and warming in your body as your specialist administers the laser energy. The process is controllable. The practitioner will monitor your skin to ensure you are comfortable and safe during the entire treatment session. You can resume your usual routine after the treatment session is over.

How Many Sessions Will You Need? 

The treatment length depends on the amount of fat you want to remove. If you have stubborn fat on your chin that you want to get rid of, one treatment may be enough to accomplish your goal. However, several sessions may be necessary for your desired results if you have a large amount of fat in your thighs or stomach.

The specialist will analyze the area you need treatment and your objectives aesthetically before the treatment begins. You can tell them if you have a timeline to achieve your new look. For example, you may want your results before a special occasion like your wedding. Such information will help them create a treatment plan suitable for your needs.
