Body Contouring Q & A

How do body contouring treatments work?

Nonsurgical body contouring services are treatments that reduce fat cells in targeted areas of your body. The goal is to reshape your natural physique — not to lose weight. In fact, the team at Illumen Aesthetics & Wellness encourages you to only consider body contouring if you’re close to your goal weight or have already achieved it. 

Nonsurgical body contouring can use several different mechanisms to eliminate fat cells. Some treatments use lasers or radiofrequency energy to heat and damage fat cells, while others use a process called cryolipolysis, which freezes your fat cells to damage them. In either case, your lymphatic system then naturally eliminates those fat cells over a few months. 

What changes can I make with body contouring?

The team at Illumen Aesthetics & Wellness helps you decide on the areas of your body you want to treat with body contouring. Based on your natural fat distribution and preferences, you can target and shrink fat on your:

  • Abdomen
  • Flanks
  • Thighs
  • Arms
  • Double chin
  • Under your buttocks

For the best possible long-lasting results, you should plan on maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle, including exercise, after your body contouring treatments. If you avoid gaining weight, your results are permanent.

How many sessions of body contouring do I need?

The number of body contouring sessions required to achieve your goals depends on the type of body contouring treatment you use, the area you target, and the amount of fat you want to eliminate. In any case, you can expect to undergo multiple sessions stretched out over a few weeks. 

Treatments are simple and fast, and you can go about your day as usual after your appointment. 

How should I prepare for an upcoming body contouring treatment?

You can take a few actions before your body contouring treatments to ensure you’re fully prepared. Depending on the type of body contouring you get, the team might advise you to:

  • Get bloodwork done
  • Stop smoking
  • Maintain a healthy diet
  • Stop taking specific medications and supplements

You’ll also come in for a consultation at Illumen Aesthetics & Wellness to discuss your treatment options and goals.
