Body Shaping | Non-invasive Ways to Tighten Skin and Reduce Fat

Body shaping, also known as body contouring, refers to cosmetic treatments and procedures that reshape and restore the body. These treatments improve your physical appearance and are either surgical or non-invasive in technique. Both men and women choose body shaping treatments to help in reducing excess fat and tighten the skin. Read on to learn more about body shaping.

Surgical Body Shaping

The most popular method of surgical body shaping is liposuction. Liposuction and similar treatments (facelift or tummy tucks) lift sagging skin and remove excess skin. Surgical body shaping is highly effective. However, many adults are wary of such procedures due to their invasive nature. Some aspects of these treatments are general anesthesia, scalpels, stitches, scars, and lengthy recovery times.

Non-Invasive Body Shaping

In recent years, non-invasive cosmetic treatments have revolutionized the body shaping industry. There are a wide variety of non-invasive body shaping treatments available almost everywhere. These non-invasive methods employ various sciences and energies to contour the body in safe and effective ways without surgery. CoolSculpting, for example, uses controlled cooling to freeze away fat. Emsculpt NEO uses radiofrequency and high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy to build muscles while also reducing fat.

CoolSculpting

CoolSculpting distinguishes itself from other non-invasive body shaping treatments. It is the only FDA-cleared method to use controlled cooling to freeze away fat. Most non-invasive treatments use thermal energies from lasers or radiofrequency. Instead, CoolSculpting uses the science of Cryolipolysis. Also known as fat freezing, the clinically developed process of Cryolipolysis exposes subcutaneous fat cells to freezing temperatures without damaging any overlying skin in the process. Studies show CoolSculpting to reduce stubborn fat by 25%. As a result, CoolSculpting is the most popular non-invasive fat reduction treatment in the world. Countless men and women are choosing CoolSculpting for their body shaping treatments.

Emsculpt NEO

Emsculpt NEO is the only FDA-approved treatment that simultaneously burns fat and builds muscles for body shaping. As a result, Emsculpt NEO is one of the most effective non-invasive body shaping treatments available today. Studies show that a patient can increase muscle by 25% and decrease fat by 30% with this outstanding treatment.

Emsculpt NEO utilizes radiofrequency (RF) and high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy (HIFEM). The RF energy works to burn and melt away fat during one treatment, while the HIFEM energy delivers 20,000 supramaximal contractions. Depending on the treatment area, these contractions are equivalent to 20,000 crunches, squats, or bicep curls.
