What is the difference between Body Contouring and Surgery?

Accepted Answer

Body contouring is non-invasive, there is no recovery time needed, and permanently removes fat cells like liposuction does. There are no incisions, it does not require anesthesia, and is much less expensive than surgery.

Body Contouring is much more affordable than traditional surgery and targets stubborn fat without any of the risks of surgery.

Question 2

Is it safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is a safe, comfortable, and non-invasive procedure with virtually no side effects. It does not require surgey, leaves no scars and does not require any post treatment. The ultrasound energy is designed to target fatty tissues beneath the skin only, and does not affect the blood vessels, nerves and connective tissues.

Question 3

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

Every person is different. Some will require as few as 3 sessions and some will need up to 9 or more. Although you may see an immediate difference, results are gradual over the next few weeks as your body excretes the broken down fatty tissues through the lymphatic system. Full results take about 3-4 months. This all depends on body mass, body circumference, and body size. Age, hormones, medications, and your desired outcome is also a factor.
