Body-sculpting typically refers to treatments that destroy fat cells without surgery. Some of the procedures work by freezing fat cells, others use penetrated heat through radio-frequency or ultrasound therapy, promising to help reshape your abdomen, thighs, bottom, thighs and upper arms among a number of other areas over the course of a number of sessions.
Smoothing, shaping, and fat-busting procedures aren’t going anywhere, so here’s your guide to which treatment is right for you.
As noninvasive cosmetic treatments become more advanced and more accessible, the demand for fat-reduction procedures has crescendoed from a whisper to a yell.
How to Find the Right Treatment for You
Not all treatments are made equal and not all procedures are right for every issue.
The catch is that most treatments aren’t a light-switch solution. Most procedures take at least six weeks to show changes with one or more sessions and full results materialize in two to three months, so a little planning is essential. And some treatments work for tough-to-reach body parts better than others, while some are more effective for specific areas. We recommend a consultation with a board-certified physician who performs more than one of the below treatments and can advise on which is best for you based on a variety of physical and lifestyle factors.
