With several treatment options available, we can develop a personalized body contouring plan based on your anatomy, concerns, and goals.

What Is Nonsurgical Body Contouring?

Nonsurgical body contouring refers to treatments designed to improve the shape and appearance of the body without traditional surgery.

Depending on the technology selected, treatments may target unwanted fat, stimulate muscle contractions, improve skin firmness, or create a more toned and defined appearance.

Body contouring may be an option for patients who are close to their desired weight but continue to struggle with specific areas that do not respond the way they would like to diet and exercise.

It is important to remember that body contouring is not intended to replace weight loss. Instead, it can complement a healthy lifestyle by targeting specific aesthetic concerns.

Our Body Contouring Treatments

BTL Exilis Ultra

BTL Exilis Ultra is a nonsurgical treatment designed to improve skin laxity and body contouring using a combination of radiofrequency and ultrasound energy.

The treatment delivers controlled energy into targeted tissues, creating heat that can stimulate the body’s natural collagen remodeling process. Depending on the treatment area and individual goals, Exilis Ultra may be used to improve skin firmness and enhance overall contours.

Benefits of BTL Exilis Ultra

Patients may choose Exilis Ultra because it offers:

• Nonsurgical treatment
• Improved appearance of loose or lax skin
• Smoother-looking contours
• Collagen stimulation
• Minimal interruption to everyday activities
• Treatment for multiple areas of the body

A series of sessions may be recommended to achieve the desired outcome.

High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic Muscle Sculpting

Sometimes achieving better definition requires more than reducing unwanted fat. Muscle tone also plays an important role in creating a sculpted appearance.

Our muscle-sculpting technology uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy to stimulate powerful muscle contractions in the targeted treatment area.

These contractions occur at an intensity that cannot typically be replicated through voluntary exercise alone. The treatment is designed to challenge targeted muscles and support improved muscle tone and definition.

What Areas Can Muscle Sculpting Treat?

Depending on the technology and individual treatment plan, muscle-sculpting treatments may be appropriate for areas such as:

• Abdomen
• Buttocks
• Arms
• Calves
• Thighs

Your provider can determine which areas are appropriate for treatment during your consultation.

Benefits of Muscle-Sculpting Treatments

Potential benefits include:

• Improved muscle tone
• Greater definition
• Nonsurgical treatment
• No incisions
• Convenient treatment sessions
• Ability to complement an active lifestyle

Muscle-sculpting treatments are not a substitute for regular exercise, but they can provide an additional tool for appropriate patients looking to enhance body definition.

CoolSculpting®

If stubborn pockets of fat remain despite healthy eating and exercise, CoolSculpting® offers a nonsurgical approach to fat reduction.

CoolSculpting uses controlled cooling technology to target fat cells beneath the skin. The treated fat cells are damaged by the cooling process and are gradually cleared by the body over time.

The goal is to create a smoother, more contoured appearance without surgery or liposuction.

What Areas Can CoolSculpting Treat?

Depending on candidacy and the applicators used, CoolSculpting may be used to address stubborn fat in areas such as:

• Abdomen
• Flanks or love handles
• Thighs
• Upper arms
• Back
• Bra area
• Under the chin
• Under the jawline

Treatment options depend on the patient’s anatomy and the specific area of concern.

Benefits of CoolSculpting

CoolSculpting may appeal to patients because it offers:

• Nonsurgical fat reduction
• No incisions
• No general anesthesia
• Targeted treatment of stubborn fat
• Gradual, natural-looking changes
• Minimal downtime for many patients

Results develop gradually as the body processes the affected fat cells.

3D Body and Face Scanning

One of the challenges with aesthetic treatments is recognizing subtle improvements when you see yourself in the mirror every day.

Advanced 3D scanning technology can provide a more detailed way to evaluate your appearance, create a treatment plan, and track changes over time.

A 3D scan captures detailed images and measurements that may allow your provider to evaluate contours from multiple angles.

Benefits of 3D Scanning

3D scanning can help with:

• Personalized aesthetic consultations
• Detailed visualization of facial or body contours
• Establishing baseline images before treatment
• Tracking changes throughout a treatment plan
• Comparing before-and-after results
• Helping patients better understand treatment recommendations

The technology can be especially useful when combining multiple aesthetic or body contouring treatments.

Which Body Contouring Treatment Is Right for Me?

The right treatment depends on what you want to improve.

If Your Concern Is Stubborn Fat

CoolSculpting may be considered when the primary goal is reducing a localized pocket of pinchable fat.

If Your Concern Is Muscle Definition

A treatment using high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy may be appropriate when your primary goal is strengthening the appearance of targeted muscles and creating greater definition.

If Your Concern Is Loose Skin

BTL Exilis Ultra may be recommended when skin laxity or firmness is an important component of your concern.

If You Have Multiple Concerns

Many patients have more than one body contouring goal. You may want less fat around the abdomen while also improving muscle definition or skin firmness.

In these situations, your provider may recommend combining treatments as part of a more comprehensive body contouring plan.

What Areas of the Body Can Be Contoured?

Depending on your anatomy and the technology selected, treatment may be used to improve the appearance of areas including:

• Abdomen
• Flanks
• Love handles
• Thighs
• Buttocks
• Upper arms
• Back
• Bra area
• Calves
• Chin and jawline

Your consultation allows us to identify the treatment or combination of treatments best suited to your specific concerns.

Body Contouring vs. Medical Weight Loss

Body contouring and medical weight loss serve different purposes.

Medical weight loss focuses on helping appropriate patients reduce overall body weight and manage weight-related concerns.

Body contouring focuses primarily on reshaping particular areas, reducing localized fat, improving muscle definition, or addressing skin firmness.

Some patients may benefit from both approaches. For example, medical weight management may help a patient move toward a healthier weight, while body contouring treatments can then address specific areas that remain resistant to lifestyle changes.

What to Expect During Your Body Contouring Consultation

Discussing Your Goals

Your consultation begins with a conversation about what you would like to improve. You may be concerned about stubborn abdominal fat, loose skin, lack of muscle definition, or several issues at once.

Evaluation

Your provider will evaluate your treatment areas and determine which technologies may be appropriate.

3D Imaging

When appropriate, 3D scanning may be incorporated to document your starting point and help visualize your treatment plan.

Personalized Recommendations

Rather than using the same treatment for every patient, we can recommend a customized approach based on your anatomy and goals.

How Many Body Contouring Treatments Will I Need?

The number of sessions varies based on the treatment being performed, the area being treated, your starting point, and your desired outcome.

Some body contouring technologies are commonly performed as a series of treatments, while others may produce noticeable improvement following fewer sessions.

Your provider will discuss a recommended treatment schedule during your consultation.

When Will I See Body Contouring Results?

Results depend on the treatment selected.

Some treatments create gradual changes as collagen remodels, muscles adapt, or the body naturally processes treated fat cells. Because of this, your appearance may continue to improve for weeks or months after treatment.

Following your recommended treatment plan and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can help support your results.

Frequently Asked Questions About Body Contouring

Is Body Contouring a Weight Loss Treatment?

No. Nonsurgical body contouring is generally intended to improve specific areas rather than produce significant overall weight loss.

Does CoolSculpting Permanently Remove Fat Cells?

CoolSculpting is designed to damage targeted fat cells, which are subsequently processed by the body. Remaining fat cells can still increase in size if you gain weight, so maintaining a stable weight is important.

Can Body Contouring Build Muscle?

High-intensity focused electromagnetic treatments are designed to produce strong muscle contractions that may improve muscle tone and definition in targeted areas.

Can Body Contouring Tighten Loose Skin?

Certain technologies, including BTL Exilis Ultra, use energy-based treatment to stimulate collagen remodeling and improve the appearance of skin laxity.

Does Body Contouring Require Surgery?

The treatments described on this page are nonsurgical and do not require traditional surgical incisions.

Is There Downtime?

Downtime varies by treatment and patient. Many nonsurgical body contouring procedures are designed to allow patients to return to normal activities relatively quickly.

Can I Combine CoolSculpting and Muscle Sculpting?

For appropriate patients, different technologies may be combined to address multiple body contouring concerns. Your provider can determine whether a combination approach is right for you.

What Does 3D Scanning Do?

3D scanning provides detailed imaging that can help document your starting appearance, assist with treatment planning, and make it easier to compare changes over time.
