What is noninvasive body contouring?
Noninvasive body contouring with CoolSculpting® or WarmSculpting™ with SculpSure® is an easy way to target unwanted fat cells in a particular area of your body. These treatments are a safe alternative to surgical procedures and fat loss is permanent. You won’t have to endure extensive downtime or any of the risks that come with surgical body-contouring procedures.
The team at Lumos Dermatology® offers both CoolSculpting and WarmSculpting body contouring treatments so you have the most flexibility in choosing the solution that’s best for your needs. If you’re not a candidate for one type of body-contouring treatment, it’s highly likely that you’re an ideal candidate for the other.
How does CoolSculpting body contouring work?
The CoolSculpting body-contouring system safely freezes fat cells with a scientifically proven treatment. CoolSculpting is FDA cleared to treat nine different trouble spots, including:
- Thighs
- Abdomen
- Flanks
- Bra fat
- Back fat
- Upper arms
- Under the chin
- Along the jawline
- Under the buttocks
CoolSculpting treatments freeze away fat in a process called cryolipolysis. When fat cells cool to a certain temperature, they die and your body naturally eliminates them through your lymphatic system. Once the fat cells are gone, they don’t regenerate, so you can enjoy a slimmer, more contoured silhouette that has up to 25% less fat in treated areas after a single treatment.
CoolSculpting body-contouring treatments take as few as 35 minutes, depending on the area you have treated. It may be possible to treat more than one trouble spot at the same time.
How does WarmSculpting with SculpSure eliminate fat?
WarmSculpting treatments also target fat cells to permanently eliminate them. WarmSculpting treatments use light-based technology to heat fat cells in targeted areas. Instead of freezing fat away, WarmSculpting treatments melt fat cells so your body can eliminate them through your lymphatic system.
You can expect a 24% permanent reduction of fat in treated areas after each WarmSculpting with SculpSure session. Treatment typically takes just 25 minutes per area and it may be possible to treat more than one area at the same time. WarmSculpting treatments are a safe, effective way to eliminate fat cells from your most common trouble spots, including:
- Belly
- Love handles
- Back fat
- Thighs
- Under your chin
Your dermatologist customizes a WarmSculpting body-contouring treatment plan to help you meet your personal fat-loss goals.
