What is body sculpting?
Body sculpting procedures, also known as body contouring, improve the silhouette of your body by cutting down problem areas of fat to make you appear slimmer and toned. If fatty areas cause you to cover up during a trip to the beach, you can opt for body sculpting to trim down, giving you a more fit look. Even though body sculpting procedures target fat, it’s important to note that it shouldn’t be used to lose significant weight.
There are several methods of body sculpting available including:
- Freezing
- Radiofrequency
- Laser
- Injections
- truSculpt®
Your provider at Genesis Medical will guide you through your choices and work with you to select the method that is best for you.
How can body sculpting improve my appearance?
Body sculpting will not make you significantly thinner, but you’ll likely lose a little bit of weight in the process of killing fat cells. You can target almost any part of your body with body sculpting. Some of the most commonly targeted areas are:
- Upper arms
- Love handles (sides of waist)
- Abdomen
- Thighs
- Neck
- Back
- Jawline
If you recently lost a lot of weight (and your weight has since stabilized), body sculpting is a great way to trim down the excess leftover skin. Or, if you’ve tried eating healthy and exercising but have a few areas of fat that stick around, body contouring can help you lose those, too.
What are the risks of body sculpting procedures?
Body sculpting is generally a safe procedure. Before you commit, the team at Genesis Medical will assess your goals with the treatment and take note of your medical history to ensure that the treatment is safe for you.
When will I see the results of body sculpting?
Each body sculpting treatment session takes about one hour or less, and there’s no downtime required. However, in order to get noticeable results, you’ll probably need to book multiple sessions. You’ll start to see the results about three weeks after your session.
What is truSculpt?
One of the most popular body sculpting tools at Genesis Medical is truSculpt, which uses radiofrequency energy to destroy fat cells under your skin. You can lose up to 24% of your fat cells after three sessions.
If you’re having trouble slimming down or trimming the extra skin after giving birth or losing weight, body sculpting can help give you the body that you want to see in the mirror. To learn more about your body sculpting options, call or schedule an appointment online at Genesis Medical today.
