How Body Contouring & Sculpting Works
Body Assessment & Technology Selection
Your provider evaluates your body composition and goals to recommend the optimal technology — fat freezing, RF skin tightening, muscle building, or a combination.
Treatment Area Preparation
The targeted area is cleaned and marked. Depending on the device, gel pads, applicators, or paddles are placed on the treatment zone.
Energy Delivery
The device delivers controlled energy — cold (CoolSculpting), radiofrequency heat (truSculpt), or electromagnetic pulses (Emsculpt) — to destroy fat cells, tighten skin, or build muscle.
Post-Treatment Massage
For fat-reduction treatments, the area is massaged to help break down treated fat cells. You can return to normal activities immediately.
Benefits of Body Contouring & Sculpting
