Body sculpting or contouring is a non-surgical method of getting rid of unwanted fat deposits and creating a slimmer and more shapely physique. Benefits of non-invasive procedures include lower risks, a faster recovery time, and for most patients, very satisfying results. The following is a brief explanation of what to expect from Body Sculpting Philadelphia PA.
Best Candidates
A body contouring procedure like Sculpsure may not be the right approach for everyone. In general, this method works well for people who want to get rid of fat in certain areas that have not responded to diet and exercise. Body sculpting is not a weight loss treatment but rather a way of dealing with stubborn fat that accumulates in a certain area, like the abdomen or upper thighs.
Methods
Body sculpting procedures use one of several different methods to dissolve fat. Cool Sculpting, for example, uses cold plates around the area to be reduced. The cold destroys fat cells before other types of cells. Laser light is another effective way to target and break down fat cells under the skin. Other procedures utilize ultrasound or radio-frequency waves to destroy fat.
Procedure
With Sculpsure, a laser sculpting method, applicators are placed on the skin where the light energy will penetrate to the sub-dermal fat. Most patients experience only mild tingling and alternating sensations of heat and cold, and the procedure lasts for about 25 minutes. It is possible to treat multiple areas at the same time. After any body sculpting procedure, patients can resume normal activities right away.
Results
Typically patients will begin to see results after about six weeks, at which time they can have a second treatment if desired. Full results are visible after 10 to 14 weeks. The number of treatments required varies from patient to patient, but many can get the results they want after one to three treatments. Patients who eat wisely and exercise regularly will be able to maintain their results over time.
