Non-Surgical Body Contouring Treatment Specialist in Alpharetta, GA 

Nonsurgical body contouring (also known as body sculpting) includes a variety of methods that work to target pockets of excess fat to destroy the fat cells, resulting in a slimmer, smoother silhouette. The treatment options available are not intended to be used for significant weight loss but are typically recommended for those who are within 10 to 20 pounds of their goal weight and are carrying some excess fat that has proven to be stubborn to get rid of. No actual tissues are removed from the body, however, commonly used techniques for body contouring treatments either heat or cool targeted fat cells, effectively destroying the cells, allowing them to be processed as waste by the body and expelled by the body. This results in gradual but long-lasting fat loss in the targeted areas. 

There are several different types of body contouring procedures available to provide each patient with their ideal results. Some options will use energy that gently heats the targeted fat cells to the point of destroying them, without causing damage or harm to the surrounding tissues, whereas other popular options may use targeted cooling to provide similar results. Some treatment options are better when used for broader areas of the body, such as the stomach, thighs, back, hips, or buttocks, with other options being more suitable for smaller, perhaps more sensitive treatment areas such as the neck, chin, or arms. Some very popular, safe, and effective nonsurgical body contouring procedures include CoolSculpting, Laser Lipolysis, and Cryoskin. When determining which nonsurgical body contouring treatment is the best, patients will need to work with the provider of several body contouring treatments to determine which will be the most effective and safest for them, making that one the best procedure for that individual.  

In most cases, the results provided by nonsurgical body contouring are very long-lasting because once fat cells are destroyed, they are just processed as waste by the body, so they cannot just regenerate or regrow. However, most people tend to carry excess fat or weight in specified areas of their body, such as the stomach, thighs, or hips, so any significant weight gain would most likely mean that an increased amount of fat would re-collect in the previously treated areas. To ensure that the results are permanent, patients must be within a few pounds of their ideal weight and are very unlikely to experience a significant weight gain to prevent the re-development of the stubborn pockets of fat within the same areas as previously eliminated. 

To minimize the risk of needing to repeat the treatment following the initial sessions, patients are recommended to maintain a healthy lifestyle through a balanced diet and regular exercise routine. Some patients will opt to receive maintenance treatments just to ensure that the results are further sustained and that the targeted skin remains tight and slim, but this is typically not necessary for maintaining significant, long-term results. 

Carrying excess fat in the stomach region is very common and can be significantly reduced through body contouring. It is very important to note that body contouring will not be very effective for use on patients who are obese or have a body-mass index of 30 or higher, rather it is intended for those who carry stubborn pockets of fat that are extremely difficult to get rid of through diet and exercise alone. Exercising regularly and eating healthily is very effective in reducing the total body fat percentage but are not able to target specific areas of the body for fat reduction, which is when body contouring procedures are recommended as they are very effective in getting rid of that last bit of fat in targeted areas, such as with belly fat.
