What is body contouring?
Body contouring is a noninvasive method of permanently eliminating unwanted fat deposits — without surgery or downtime. Dr. Davis offers both WarmSculpting™ with SculpSure® and CoolSculpting®.
These innovative, FDA-cleared platforms work by triggering a process below your skin that eliminates fat cells, which your body then flushes away in time. The result is a slimmed-down, more toned-looking physique.
What areas does body contouring target?
Body contouring addresses the most common problem areas where unwanted fat accumulates. You may opt for body contouring to get rid of fat in your:
- Back
- Inner thighs
- Outer thighs
- Stomach
- Love handles
The treatment also works to eliminate fat under the chin.
What is WarmSculpting body contouring?
WarmSculpting with SculpSure uses controlled waves of laser energy to heat fat cells underneath your skin. The heat stimulates a process called lipolysis, which selectively damages fat cells without hurting your surrounding skin.
Each treatment zaps an estimated 24% of fat cells. Your system then permanently removes the fat cells naturally.
What is CoolSculpting body contouring?
CoolSculpting uses a minimally invasive, quick-freeze technology to crystalize and permanently get rid of fat cells. When Dr. Davis applies the innovative cool-energy device to your skin, it triggers a process called cryolipolysis in the underlying fat cells.
This process damages the cells, which your body naturally reabsorbs over time. Treatments typically reduce your fat layer by up to 20-25% in just a single session.
When do I see results from body contouring?
Your results depend on the type of body contouring technology and other factors. Generally, you may see results in 1-3 months with CoolSculpting and 6-12 weeks with WarmSculpting with SculpSure. Dr. Davis recommends 2-3 treatments to achieve optimal results.
Is body contouring right for me?
Dr. Davis discusses your cosmetic goals during your initial consultation. She discusses your medical history with you and evaluates your potential treatment areas to ensure you’re an appropriate candidate for body contouring.
Body contouring is ideal for targeting pockets of unwanted fat. However, it’s not an overall weight-loss strategy.
