Body Contouring FAQ

CoolSculpting is a non-invasive treatment that uses controlled cooling to freeze and eliminate stubborn fat cells. The process, known as cryolipolysis, targets fat cells, which are gradually processed and eliminated by the body. It’s effective for areas like the abdomen, flanks, and thighs.

EmSculpt uses high-intensity electromagnetic energy to stimulate muscle contractions, building, and toning muscles while also reducing fat. Unlike CoolSculpting, which focuses solely on fat reduction, EmSculpt tones and strengthens the muscles, making it popular for areas like the abdomen, buttocks, and arms.

AgeJET Plasma Rejuvenation uses plasma energy to heat and tighten the skin, promoting collagen and elastin production. It’s effective for non-surgical skin tightening and can improve skin laxity in areas like the neck, arms, and abdomen, enhancing overall contour and smoothness.

Scarlet RF Microneedling combines radiofrequency energy with microneedling to penetrate deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production and improving skin firmness. It’s ideal for body areas with mild laxity, such as the arms, thighs, and abdomen, and enhances skin texture and elasticity.

Venus Legacy is a non-invasive treatment that combines radiofrequency and pulsed electromagnetic fields to reduce fat, tighten skin, and improve cellulite appearance. It increases collagen production and breaks down fat cells, effectively contouring larger areas like the thighs, buttocks, and abdomen.

Sculptra is an injectable poly-L-lactic acid filler that stimulates collagen production, gradually enhancing volume and firmness. It’s commonly used for buttock augmentation or to improve skin quality and fullness in areas like the thighs and hips, creating a subtle lift and contour.

Kybella is an injectable treatment containing deoxycholic acid, which breaks down and absorbs fat cells. When injected into the submental area (under the chin), it reduces excess fat, contours the jawline, and diminishes the appearance of a double chin over a series of treatments.

CoolSculpting usually requires 1-3 sessions per area; EmSculpt often requires four sessions over a few weeks. AgeJET PlasmaRejuvenation and Scarlet RF Microneedling may need 2-4 sessions, while Venus Legacy typically involves 6-8 treatments for optimal results. Depending on the area and goals, Sculptra and Kybella may require 2-4 sessions.

Most body contouring treatments have minimal to no downtime. CoolSculpting, EmSculpt, Venus Legacy, and Kybella might cause temporary redness, swelling, or soreness in the treated area, but normal activities can usually be resumed immediately. AgeJET and Scarlet RF may cause some redness or sensitivity that typically resolves within a few days.

Yes, combining treatments can often enhance results. For example, EmSculpt can be combined with CoolSculpting to reduce fat and build muscle. Venus Legacy can follow skin-tightening treatments like Scarlet RF to smooth cellulite and enhance contours.
