What are the Best Body Contouring Treatments?

A healthy lifestyle has many benefits, but many of us still have problem areas we struggle with. Fortunately, your team at Alamo Ranch Laser Aesthetics offers a range of non-surgical body contouring options that help you achieve your goals and see the sculpted figure you have worked to obtain. 

What is Body Contouring?

Non-surgical body contouring treatments can address a range of concerns to help you achieve a slimmer, more shapely figure. They use different forms of energy that affect muscles, fat cells, or other tissues without injuring the skin. The most common issues to target with these treatments include:

• Cellulite on areas like the buttocks and thighs
• Pockets of stubborn fat that refuse to go away
• Lack of your desired muscle tone and definition

Some treatments address multiple concerns at the same time. Your aesthetics team will work with you to determine which options meet your needs and fit into your lifestyle. All our non-invasive body contouring treatments provide excellent results. 

What are the Best Body Contouring Treatments?

The best body contouring treatment for you depends on many factors, including the issues you hope to address, your current lifestyle, and any health factors that might affect your safety or results. 

Emsculpt Neo®

This combination treatment uses electromagnetic energy to trigger muscle contractions for shaping and toning. It also burns fat around the targeted muscles to improve definition and provide the slimmer shape you have worked to achieve. 

Cellutone®

A gentle combination of vibration and radiofrequency energy treats cellulite by improving circulation, bringing more oxygen to the area, and improving lymphatic drainage to smooth a dimpled, uneven appearance and boost your confidence.  

truSculpt® ID

This treatment uses radiofrequency energy to target fat cells, damaging them so the body filters them away. It lets you sculpt and shape problem areas like the abdomen, thighs, and upper arms where pockets of fat resist removal. 

truSculpt® Flex

This treatment uses electromagnetic energy in a unique pattern that replicates muscle activities for a more in-depth toning treatment. It lets you treat up to eight areas at the same time to shape, tone, and define more muscle groups.  

VelaShape III

A combination of radiofrequency energy, vacuum suction, and radiofrequency energy treats cellulite by breaking up the fibrous collagen bands that cause dimples. It also tightens the skin to reduce rippling and uneven texture, leaving the area smooth. 

Is There Any Downtime After Body Contouring?

Non-surgical body contouring treatments do not require any downtime. You can return to work or other activities immediately. Your skin may look flushed or feel sensitive after some treatments, but usually for less than an hour. Muscle toning treatments may cause soreness similar to an intense time at the gym. 

Am I a Good Candidate for Body Contouring?

Different people will be better candidates for different treatments. For example, people with pacemakers or any metal implants in the body should not have some types of treatments, while others are safe. Only a consultation and review of your medical history can determine the safest method for you. 

Almost all healthy adults can have body contouring, but you will see your best results if you are close to your goal weight and lead a healthy lifestyle. Candidates should understand that body contouring treatments are not for weight loss or large amounts of fat removal.
