Body Contouring Q & A

What is body contouring?

Body contouring is a non-invasive treatment that involves radiofrequency energy (RF). It’s a type of energy that, when applied to your skin, creates heat deep within the fatty tissue. That heat stimulates your body to liquify stubborn fat cells, which permanently destroys them. Over time, your body eliminates the dead fat cells naturally.

While body contouring is a skin-tightening solution, it’s not a weight loss approach. Body contouring may help you avoid invasive procedures and achieve a more defined, sculpted appearance once those extra fat cells are gone, but it may not be able to help if you’re looking to remove loose skin.

Kybella® is FDA approved for redcuing the fat under the chin, with great results.  It is also used off-label for other areas of the body for disolving fat, such and lower abdomen, thighs, arms, under arms and legs above the knee.

What areas can body contouring treat?

Dr. Stanitsas can eliminate fat from different areas of your body, including:

• Thighs
• Abdomen
• Love handles (sides of the waist)
• Back
• Beneath your buttocks
• Upper arms
• Chin 

These areas sometimes don’t respond to diet and exercise efforts. You might benefit from body contouring at Cosmediki Medical Aesthetics if you haven’t been able to find a solution to help with areas of excess fat that are difficult to shed. 

Am I a good candidate for body contouring?

Anyone who wants fat reduction and has realistic expectations about the results may be a good candidate for body contouring. 

Even though it’s not a solution for obesity, it’s a great alternative to surgical procedures like liposuction. The best body contouring candidates are patients who are within 30 pounds of their goal weight but have problem areas they’d like to reshape.

How many body contouring sessions will I need?

It depends on the areas you’re having treated. You may need more than one body contouring session to achieve your desired results. If you’re unhappy with certain areas of excess fat on your body and you’d like to sculpt, tone, and tighten them, Dr. Stanitsas can discuss how many sessions you’ll need at your consultation. 

Each treatment session takes less than an hour to complete and doesn’t require downtime. After treatment, you can resume your daily activities right away.
