Body sculpting also referred to as body contouring, is a non-surgical process that increases the body’s visible muscle tone. It does this by removing or destroying fat cells present in the target regions. Body contouring can be done through different techniques depending on individual needs and requirements. This non-invasive procedure is used to eliminate stubborn fat from specific areas of the body. The procedure gets rid of fat cells in targeted areas, tones the body, and tightens the skin. Hence, the flawless option to bring your desire to reality. If you can’t seem to get rid of your love handles, no matter how much cardio you do, body sculpting might be all you need to come to the rescue.

Body sculpting, cleared by FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration), is a safe and reliable way to eliminate stubborn body fat. The procedure is suitable for practically everyone – male or female, young or old. However, ensure that you discuss with your doctor before deciding on body contouring. This ensures that you get professional advice tailor-made for you. You are also enlightened on what body sculpting technique will get you your desired result. Consulting your doctor is particularly crucial if you have a pre-existing medical condition.

Though there are various body sculpting techniques, they all operate following this basic sequence:

The target site is identified and brought into focus with an applicator. The applicator used often varies depending on the body sculpting technique employed.

Once the targeted area is in focus, the fat cells are destroyed or broken down. This could be done using extreme temperature ranges, electromagnetic waves, ultrasound waves, etc.

After these stubborn fat cells are destroyed, the body cleanses itself via the lymphatic system and continues its normal functioning. This process could take a few days or weeks.

Some frequently used body sculpting techniques are listed below…

Cryolipolysis describes a body sculpting procedure that utilizes controlled cooling for localized fat reduction. This technique is also known by the brand name CoolSculpting. The technique feeds on very low temperatures. Coolsculpting is carried out with a tool that operates with suction. This tool sucks in the target area, then cools it to a temperature low enough to destroy the fat cells without harming your skin. This destroys the fat cells in this area by freezing them. Cryolipolysis is a safe and effective technique used to eliminate stubborn body fat. But, if you have a condition that makes your skin extra sensitive to cold temperature, you should discuss this with your doctor or consider an alternative technique.

This technique uses laser energy to destroy fat cells. As with very low temperatures, very high temperatures also destroy fat cells. Hence, this technique damages the fat cells beneath the skin using a temperature high enough to destroy their structures without damaging internal organs. Laser fat reduction is a great option for reducing belly and thigh fat and is often used for flat areas as it might not be as effective for curved areas due to the flat shape of its applicator.

Ultrasound fat reduction uses ultrasound energy to eliminate fat. This is done using highly focused sonic waves. The result? The body is energized to metabolize the fat and shed it. Ultrasound fat reduction is used across the abdomen and not on other areas of the body.

This body sculpting procedure involves the injection of a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid into the face and neck area to get rid of fat cells. Deoxycholic acid is naturally produced by the body and is a substance that helps the body absorb and destroy fat. This method is often used specifically for the face and neck area.
