IN AND OUT
PROCEDURE
Anaesthesia isn’t required for
non-surgical body contouring,
and treatments are performed
in the comfort of your aesthetic
practitioner’s clinic, some in as
little as 15 minutes. There is no
downtime, minimal discomfort,
and complications are rare. In
conjunction with a healthy diet
and exercise regime, results should
be long lasting because, just as
with liposuction, when fat cells are
permanently destroyed they will not
return.
Although non-surgical body
contouring devices offer an effective
means for achieving a more
streamlined body shape – commonly
targeting treatment areas such
as the abdomen and thighs – it’s
worth remembering that no nonsurgical
device can achieve the
level of fat removal possible with
liposuction. It’s therefore important
to have realistic expectations of
what non-surgical body contouring
can achieve, both in terms of the
amount of fat that can be targeted,
and the length of time it will take to
see results.
That being said, today’s body
contouring technology devices offer
outstanding results for the right
patient – without the surgery and
associated risks and downtime of
liposuction surgery.
The best candidates are usually
those with small to medium
localised fat deposits that are
resistant to diet and exercise, rather
than those seeking large-volume fat
removal. For muscle building and
toning treatment, just about anyone
is a suitable candidate.
