What to Expect During a Non-Surgical Body Contouring Treatment?
During a Non-surgical Body contouring treatment, the provider will typically begin by marking the areas of the body to be treated, ensuring precision in targeting the fat. Most procedures are relatively quick, lasting anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour depending on the treatment area. For example, cryolipolysis uses a device that applies cooling to freeze fat cells, while radiofrequency and ultrasound treatments use heat or sound waves to target fat and tighten skin. Patients may feel sensations such as cooling, warmth, or mild tingling, but the process is generally well-tolerated. Most treatments do not require anesthesia.
After the treatment, patients can usually resume their normal activities immediately, as there is minimal to no downtime. Some mild redness, swelling, or bruising may occur in the treated areas, but these side effects typically resolve within a few days. Results from non-surgical body contouring are gradual, with fat reduction becoming more noticeable over several weeks as the body naturally eliminates the broken-down fat cells. Depending on the treatment type, multiple sessions may be required to achieve optimal results. It's important to follow post-treatment care instructions provided by the provider to maximize the effectiveness of the procedure.
