Even with the right amount of exercise, a healthy diet, and a commitment to healthy living, achieving your ideal body composition can be difficult. That’s where body contouring comes in. At InVogue Rejuvenation in El Paso, TX, we offer treatments with our energy-based devices that use advanced technology to target your problem areas and transform them into areas you feel more confident in.
What Is Body Contouring?
Body contouring refers to our professional, in-office treatments during which we use energy-based devices to improve definition, reduce stubborn fat, tighten the skin, and create improved body contours.
The entire treatment process is pain-free, non-surgical, and results-driven. We offer several different treatment options to meet the needs of our patients who want to improve their bodies in a way they can’t simply by living a healthy lifestyle, eating right, and exercising regularly.
What Are the Benefits of Body Contouring?
At InVogue Rejuvenation & Body Sculpting Center, we know that life gets busy, and even when you try your best to eat right and exercise daily, it often feels like it’s not enough. Now, there is a solution that can help you look and feel your best. We offer the most effective body contouring treatments, and not only are they painless, but there’s absolutely no downtime. Some other treatment benefits include the following:
- Our versatile devices can meet each patient’s unique needs
- Treatments are comfortable
- There’s no downtime
- Results appear gradually and naturally
- Treatments are quick
- You won’t need to restrict your diet or spend more time in the gym for results
What Can Body Contouring Address?
Loose or Sagging Skin
One common concern we address is loose or sagging skin that can develop after weight loss or as part of the aging process. Over time, skin loses its elasticity, making it harder for the body to keep skin tight on its own. Through skin tightening techniques, we can help restore a firmer appearance to areas like the abdomen, arms, thighs, and more to improve overall skin texture.
Cellulite
Cellulite is another concern we frequently see in patients. This uneven, dimpled appearance is caused by fat pushing against connective tissue beneath the skin. Body contouring treatments can minimize the visibility of cellulite by reducing fat and firming the skin.
Excess Fat
For patients who struggle with excess fat in certain areas despite a healthy lifestyle, body sculpting offers a solution to refine and shape specific regions of the body. Treatments focus on areas like the abdomen, flanks, and thighs to help patients achieve a more balanced and defined shape.
What Areas Can Be Treated With Body Contouring?
- Abdomen: Excess fat and loose skin are common in the abdominal area, especially following weight fluctuations or pregnancy. Treatments here focus on reducing fat and tightening skin to achieve a smoother, firmer appearance.
- Thighs: Many patients experience issues with cellulite and sagging skin on the thighs. Body contouring can help smooth the skin’s surface, minimizing the appearance of cellulite, and enhancing firmness for a more toned look.
- Flanks (Love Handles): Fat deposits around the flanks, or “love handles,” can be resistant to diet and exercise. Contouring in this area can help reduce excess fat, refine the waistline, and improve overall proportions.
- Buttocks: Cellulite and excess fat are typical concerns for the buttocks. Treatments here are aimed at enhancing skin tone and texture while addressing stubborn fat pockets.
- Arms: As we age, the upper arms can develop sagging or “bat wings” due to decreased skin elasticity. Contouring can help with skin tightening in this area.
- Back: The back can accumulate pockets of fat, especially in the upper back or “bra line” area, which can be challenging to address through exercise alone.
- Chin and Neck: Stubborn fat and loose skin around the chin and neck can create a “double chin” effect or sagging. We can refine the jawline and improve neck tightness.
Our Body Contouring Treatments
TempSure®
TempSure® is a radiofrequency energy body contouring platform by Cynosure with different applicators and handpieces that can help patients reach their body composition goals. This platform includes treatment modalities that can tighten and lift the skin, reduce the appearance of cellulite, target stubborn fat, and contour the body.
Radiofrequency energy is so effective because not only can it stimulate natural collagen and elastin production to tighten the skin, but it also can heat the adipose tissue to break down and destroy stubborn fat cells and cellulite so that your body naturally eliminates them in the weeks following treatment. Whether you want to tighten your skin, target stubborn fat, or undergo combination treatments, we can help determine which of the modalities available on this platform is right for you.
FlexSure®
FlexSure® is designed to contour the body with radiofrequency energy in as little as a 15-minute session. This handpiece uses a flexible applicator that delivers the radiofrequency energy into the deeper layers of the skin. Before your treatment, we’ll evaluate the areas you want to treat and mark them so we can choose the right applicator and begin the treatment process.
Each single-use applicator has adhesive to attach to your skin throughout the session to deliver an efficient and uniform treatment. Each applicator has six zones, making the treatment fully customizable. We can adjust the temperature in each zone during the session to ensure optimal comfort. You’ll have the option to target multiple areas during the session, as the device can treat stubborn fat on the legs, back, abdomen, and flanks.
What To Expect
Most patients need three to five treatments for optimal results. We can design a treatment plan to meet your needs and give me more details about what kind of results you can expect. FlexSure can be scheduled year-round to meet the needs of patients with all different BMIs and skin types. There’s no downtime after your treatment, and you can resume normal activities when it’s over.
SculpSure®
SculpSure® is a body contouring device designed to target stubborn fat cells during a quick, 25-minute treatment. We can use it to target stubborn fat on the abdomen, back, flanks, inner and outer thighs, and the area beneath the chin.
We’ll place an applicator on your desired treatment area during the treatment, and you’ll feel a warming sensation as the radiofrequency heat energy works to damage the fat cells so that the body can respond and flush them out of your system.
What To Expect
SculpSure® is an effective option for patients who want to reach their body goals but have been unable to even with a healthy diet and regular workout regimen. The treatment can reduce 24% of the fat cells in the treatment area, and the results are permanent. Most patients see results within 12 weeks of completing their treatment plan.
TempSure® Envi
TempSure® Envi is another radiofrequency energy body contouring treatment designed to treat skin laxity by naturally tightening the skin. It’s safe for all skin types and has three handpieces to ensure each patient achieves their goals. This skin tightening machine can contour the body by eliminating loose skin that’s resulted from the aging process, weight loss, or other factors.
What It Treats
We can use TempSure® Envi to treat crepey skin, loose skin, and sagging skin in different body areas. By tightening the skin, the device can help improve definition and increase natural collagen and elastin production for long-lasting results.
VanquishME
VanquishME is a non-surgical body contouring treatment by BTL that uses radiofrequency heat energy to target stubborn fat on the abdominal area, flanks, thighs, and more. It’s an effective option for patients who want to target stubborn fat that is resistant to a healthy diet and regular exercise. The device delivers controlled radiofrequency energy to the treatment area to destroy the fat cells.
Once those fat cells experience cell death, the body responds to the treatment process by eliminating them through the lymphatic system in the following weeks. Treatments are comfortable and quick, and there’s no downtime. Most patients see the results within the first two to three weeks of completing a treatment plan as the body responds, and they notice significantly reduced fat volume in their treatment areas.
Morpheus8
Morpheus8 is a popular RF microneedling treatment that patients schedule to treat fine lines, skin laxity, wrinkles, and volume loss on their faces. However, it also has an applicator suitable for treating different body areas to tighten the skin and improve definition. The Morpheus8 body handpiece is equipped with 3D Smart Frame and Burst technology and adjustable needles that can reach eight mm beyond the skin’s surface to create microchannels while simultaneously delivering radiofrequency heat energy to the area.
The treatment process results in an immediate contraction of existing collagen. It also stimulates collagen and elastin production in the weeks that follow the treatment. We can use the device to treat loose skin on the arms, legs, abdomen, chest, neck, and any other area with sagging skin resulting from weight loss, aging, or other factors.
Before, During, and After Your Body Contouring Treatment
Before your body contouring treatment, we’ll discuss your specific goals and examine the areas you want to target. This step helps us design a treatment plan just for you, addressing areas like excess fat, loose skin, or cellulite. We’ll also go over any simple steps you may need to follow to prepare, such as staying hydrated and avoiding certain skin products that could make the skin more sensitive.
During the treatment, you can expect a comfortable experience. Our techniques minimize discomfort and help you get the most out of your treatment. Depending on the areas treated, you’ll be seated or lying comfortably, and we’ll check in with you throughout the process to make sure you feel at ease. Body contouring treatments are non-invasive and many patients find the sessions relaxing and easy to tolerate.
After your body contouring treatment, you’ll be able to resume most normal activities. We’ll provide you with simple aftercare instructions to help your skin recover and maximize your results. These may include gentle care for the treated areas, such as keeping them clean and moisturized and avoiding heat exposure for a short period.
Answering Common Questions About Body Contouring
How Many Body Contouring Sessions Will I Need?
The number of body contouring sessions needed depends on your goals and the areas you’d like to target. We’ll evaluate these factors during your consultation and create a plan for you. Many patients benefit from a series of sessions, sometimes three to five, to achieve their ideal shape, but we’ll guide you on the number that best fits your body.
How Long Will My Results Last?
Results from body contouring can last for a long time, especially when paired with a balanced lifestyle. Fat reduction can be permanent with the right maintenance, and skin tightening can last for many months but may still be subject to the effects of aging skin and collagen reduction. The best way to enjoy body sculpting results for longer is to maintain healthy habits to stay at a healthy weight and a good skincare routine to keep your skin healthy.
How Soon Will I See Results After Body Contouring?
Some skin tightening results can be seen right away since radiofrequency energy can provide a small amount of immediate contraction of the skin. However, the most noticeable results begin to appear after a month or more as your body processes the dead fat cells and produces more collagen. This can cause natural-looking results as the results develop gradually over time. The exact timeframe for visible results varies based on the treatment type and areas addressed.
How Does Body Contouring Compare to Liposuction?
Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes fat using a cannula and suction technology, allowing for a larger volume of fat to be removed. Body contouring is non-surgical and breaks down fat cells, relying on the body’s natural processes to flush them out gradually. While both options can be effective, body contouring may be suitable for those who aren’t candidates for surgery. Body contouring also has the benefit of tightening the skin, which helps prevent the loose or sagging skin that can sometimes occur after liposuction.
Is Body Contouring a Weight Loss Treatment?
Body contouring is not a weight-loss treatment. Instead, it’s designed to target specific areas that are resistant to diet and exercise, helping refine your shape rather than reducing overall body weight. If you’re looking to address stubborn pockets of fat or enhance skin tightening in certain areas, body contouring may be a helpful addition to your wellness routine. If you want to reduce your weight, we offer other treatments and services to help.
How to Maintain the Results of Your Body Contouring Treatment
- Stay Active: Regular physical activity helps maintain a stable weight and can prevent new fat from accumulating in treated areas. Aim for consistent exercise that you enjoy, as it supports long-term results.
- Eat a Balanced Diet: A diet rich in lean proteins, fruits, vegetables, and whole grains helps keep body fat levels down. Maintaining balanced nutrition can make it easier to preserve the refined contours achieved through body contouring.
- Hydrate Well: Drinking enough water supports overall health and skin elasticity, both of which can enhance and sustain the effects of skin tightening in treated areas.
- Follow Good Skin Care Practices: Moisturizing and protecting your skin from sun exposure can help keep skin firm and smooth. This is especially beneficial for areas treated to address loose or sagging skin.
- Schedule Maintenance Treatments as Recommended: Periodic follow-up treatments can help enhance and prolong your results, especially for body sculpting areas that may need a bit of extra care over time.
