Have you worked hard, watching what you eat and exercising regularly, but still have pockets of stubborn fat that just won’t quit? Unfortunately for some of us, our bodies keep extra deposits of fat that don’t disappear with diet and exercise. Although we can cover it up in the cold winter months with sweaters and jackets, the warm months of summer beg us to show off our shapes.
Angie Bjorgaard, RN, BSN, and our entire care team at Sublime Aesthetics Professionals in East Grand Forks, Minnesota, understand how frustrating trying to achieve your dream body shape can be. To help you combat the obstinate fat in your trouble zones, we offer body contouring.
With body contouring, you can say goodbye to stubborn fat and hello to a more shapely figure. Read on to learn why you should start body contouring now to have the shape you’ve always wanted by summer.
What is body contouring?
Body contouring is different from diet and exercise, which address your overall weight. Instead, body contouring targets pockets of fat that accumulate between your skin’s surface and your muscle. These procedures allow your treatment specialists to sculpt your figure, smoothing away unwanted lumps and bumps to give you the smooth skin and curves you desire.
Are there nonsurgical body contouring options?
Yes! At Sublime Aesthetic Professionals, we’re dedicated to helping our clients combat stubborn, excess fat without surgery. That’s why we offer nonsurgical FDA-approved CoolSculpting® and truSculpt® body contouring to eligible men and women. Results from both treatments are permanent, and as long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle, you can enjoy them for a lifetime.
It’s important to note that noninvasive body contouring options, like CoolSculpting and truSculpt, aren’t intended as weight-loss solutions. For consideration, candidates should be at or near their goal weight with a healthy BMI and looking to treat pockets of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise.
CoolSculpting®
With CoolSculpting, our professionals safely freeze unwanted deposits of fat to provide long-lasting body contouring results — usually in just one session! The freezing temperatures break down fat cells quickly and safely, and your body naturally discards the unwanted fat on its own.
The procedure is quick and painless, though you may experience a slight tugging or pulling sensation. No recovery time is needed, so you can leave your appointment and continue with normal activities immediately. Once your results are in, they’re here to stay with studies showing an average 20% reduction in fat.
truSculpt®
TruSculpt at Sublime Aesthetics Professionals uses innovative monopolar radiofrequency (RF) technology, in which energy is delivered using a single probe placed on the skin. This RF energy penetrates the skin to permanently destroy the underlying fat cells. Your body then uses its natural waste process to eliminate the damaged fat cells in the weeks following treatment.
Your care professional at Sublime Aesthetics Professionals creates a customized plan based on your unique goals. Depending on your body and goals, you may require more than one treatment session. Each session takes between 15-60 minutes depending on the area treated, and treatments are comfortable and pain-free.
Why start body contouring now?
Though you’ll see some results almost immediately, it takes time for your body to optimize body contouring treatments. CoolSculpting and TruSculpt take advantage of your body’s natural clean-up system to collect and dispose of the waste that the destroyed fat cells leave behind. This process takes several weeks.
The best results appear about three to six months after your treatments, once your body has had a chance to remove excess cell debris. Starting body contouring in the winter gives your body time to heal and guarantees you’ll have the shape you’ve always wanted by summer.
