If you could wave a magic wand and eliminate unwanted body fat, we skip the workout and run (not walk) to said magic shop. Unfortunately, for some people, no matter how hard they run or much they lift, they can’t seem to accomplish a smooth, toned body.

The frustration is real! Thankfully, there is such a wand— though less magic and more science-based. Body sculpting can help tame those stubborn inches and dimples, giving you the trim and tone you worked so hard for. 

What is Body Sculpting?

Non-surgical body sculpting uses non-invasive and controlled methods to reduce or destroy stubborn fat deposits beneath the skin. Also known as non-surgical fat reduction, body sculpting treatments are a gradual way to a toned body rather than more drastic options like liposuction.

There are several types of FDA-approved body sculpting methods to choose from, and your local medispa may have more than one available. They include:

• Cold Treatments (like Cryolipolysis) use cold temperatures to freeze and destroy cellulite below the skin’s surface.
• Heated Treatments use laser implements to damage fat cells for the body to absorb.
• Ultrasound Treatments utilize ultrasonic vibrations to break up cellulite pockets in the abdomen.
• Radio Frequency Treatments use energy to heat the water within fat cells, destroying them before reabsorption.

Some treatment methods are better for smooth flat areas such as the stomach or thighs rather than curvy spots like arms. Ask your body sculpting technician about which treatment best suits your goals.

Who is a Good Candidate for This Treatment?

All body sculpting treatments help tone and smooth your body, but unfortunately, they don’t provide significant weight loss. For example, someone attempting to drop the last 10 pounds could see a 2 to 2.5 pounds reduction in a session, which aligns with the 25% projected fat cell reduction for body sculpting.

The ideal candidate for body sculpting is someone who has reached their ideal weight goal but happens to be struggling with challenging skin dimpling or extra inches and not getting a toned body. However, anyone with considerable weight loss yet to go will not find the results they are looking for.

What Does This Treatment Feel Like?

All body sculpting methods are considered relatively painless; however, people have varying degrees of pain tolerance and may feel some discomfort related to cold or heat, but it should never be painful.

Sometimes, there may be suction-like sensations, rubbing, and circular motions as the applicator travel along the skin. Your provider may apply a numbing cream for comfort and an applicator gel like a standard ultrasound.

What Can You Expect Before and After Body Sculpting?

As we mentioned, you may see a loss of around two pounds per visit, although the results will vary—plan for about eight treatments, with two per week. The body will take 12 to 16 weeks to fully absorb and flush the dead cells, at which time you will see the outcome.

Directly after treatment, you may experience some redness, swelling, and tenderness, though this should dissipate quickly. You must drink plenty of water before and after your treatment to stay hydrated and assist in flushing your system.
