Body Contouring and Body Sculpting With Ultrasonic Cavitation in Los Angeles

What Is Body Contouring?

Body contouring, also known as body sculpting, refers to changing the shape of an area on your body and is used to describe a variety of effects such as changing the circumference of an area on your body like your waist or thighs, or changing your body’s silhouette by reducing small areas of fat. Some non-invasive body contouring devices are designed to achieve your desired effect by decreasing small amounts of excess fat in the treated body area. This can help reduce visible bulges by reducing the amount of fat that is in the bulge.

It’s important to understand the difference between surgical and non-invasive body sculpting or body contouring procedures. Non-invasive body contouring techniques are cosmetic procedures that reshape the body without surgery.

here are examples of what non-invasive body contouring procedures can achieve when targeting specific problem areas:

• Address excess fat in target areas like the abdomen, thighs, and flanks.
• Enhance body contours and address stubborn pockets of fat in problem areas.
  
• Improve skin texture and firmness, particularly in areas prone to cellulite.
  
• Tighten sagging skin on the face, neck, and chest to combat visible signs of aging.
  
• Reduce localized fat deposits in problem areas such as the chin, upper arms, and thighs.
  
• Sculpt and define target areas to achieve a slimmer and more refined appearance.
  
• Remove excess fat and improve skin tightness in specific body regions to enhance shape and definition.

What Is Non-Invasive Body Contouring?

Non-invasive body contouring procedures can be an effective way to enhance your appearance by targeting localized fat and improving body contours. Some non-invasive body contouring devices are designed to achieve your desired effect by decreasing small amounts of excess fat in the treated body area. This can help reduce visible bulges by reducing the amount of fat that is in the bulge.

Non-invasive body contouring procedures are all about keeping things easy and breezy. They won’t disrupt your body’s natural flow and, guess what? Downtime is almost a non-issue. Clients love the results they achieve with our non-surgical procedures to shape up without the downtime of surgical procedures like liposuction and tummy tucks. 

Here are some key aspects of non-invasive body contouring:

• No Surgery: Non-invasive body contouring procedures do not involve surgical incisions, general anesthesia, or the removal of excess skin or fat through surgery. As a result, there is less risk, shorter recovery times, and minimal scarring compared to traditional surgical methods.
• Targeted Fat Reduction: Many non-invasive body contouring procedures are designed to target specific areas of the body where stubborn fat deposits are present. Body contouring procedures can be tailored to address specific areas of concern, such as love handles, double chins, belly pooches, thighs, bra bulges, and saddlebags. These treatments are designed to reduce localized fat deposits and enhance the body’s natural shape, offering a personalized approach to cosmetic enhancements.
• Minimal Discomfort: Non-invasive treatments are generally well-tolerated by patients and cause minimal discomfort.
• No Scarring: Because there are no surgical incisions, non-invasive body contouring procedures typically do not leave visible scars on the skin.
• Shorter Recovery Time: Non-invasive treatments usually have shorter recovery periods compared to surgery.
• Multiple Sessions: Depending on the specific procedure and individual goals, multiple treatment sessions may be offered to achieve the desired results. The treatments are often spaced over several weeks or months.

Whether you are looking to get rid of the stubborn belly pouch, slim down love handles, sculpt your thighs, banish a double chin, smooth out bra bulges, or trim saddlebags, non-invasive body contouring procedures offer personalized solutions to help you achieve your desired body shape with minimal disruption.

What is Bipolar Radiofrequency – RF? 

Bipolar Radiofrequency (RF) energy is a new and promising technology for non-surgical tightening of the early signs of loose or sagging skin. 

How does bipolar radio frequency tighten skin? Like any form of energy, RF has the capacity to produce heat. Heating the skin’s deeper layers to induce new collagen and elastin production and encourage cell turnover, bipolar radio frequency helps the skin become firmer, thicker and more youthful-looking.

RF energy alone is primarily used to treat skin laxity by tightening, and is best suited to patients with mild to moderate sagging of facial tissues, usually those in their mid-30s to 50s, with any skin color. It is commonly used to treat the following areas:

Neck

An advantage of using RF to heat tissues, as opposed to lasers, is that the lower frequency of RF can safely penetrate to a deeper level, helping to improve skin tone and structure. Lasers, which use higher frequency light waves, for the most part work to improve the skin’s surface. Moreover, RF can safely treat more patients with different skin tones without risking permanent discoloration.

RF can also be used in conjunction with ultrasound cavitation to aid in further fat breakdown and also to tighten the skin in the same area the cavitation treatment has taken place. 

How Does Bipolar Radiofrequency Work For Facial Contouring?

Bipolar Radiofrequency sounds high tech, so many clients want to know exactly how it works when they come in for a session. The handpiece is slowly rotated over the target area, transmitting radio waves through the upper layers of the skin to the dermis, heating the dermis to between 40 & 50 degrees Celsius without burning the skin surface.

Benefits of Bipolar Radiofrequency

Scientific literature has shown that bipolar RF devices are effective in improving numerous cosmetic indications including skin rejuvenation, skin tightening, acne vulgaris, and cellulite.The two most visible benefits provided by this treatment are tighter skin and a smoother surface – meaning fewer wrinkles. At our Los Angeles Bipolar Radiofrequency practice, clients have reported the following benefits:

* Tissue Retraction: The generated heat causes local contraction of the collagen fibers,to immediately tighten the skin. 

* New Collagen Formation: By heating the dermis, new collagen production is stimulated. This tightening effect is delayed and may take from 3-6 months to be visible. 

* Improved Circulation: RF will also improve the blood and lymphatic flow. This helps with a better oxygen supply and greater toxin clearance to further reduce the effects of aging. 

Who Is A Good Candidate for Ultrasound Cavitation and Bipolar RF Treatments? 

With quick, comfortable treatment, zero downtime, and no scars, non-surgical fat removal and skin tightening have become popular options for patients to enhance their appearance and self-confidence without taking time for surgery and recovery. 

Most people are safe to have the treatment. People with cardiac and vascular diseases, pacemaker carriers and women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should avoid undergoing the process. 

Is Ultrasound Cavitation Painful? 

No, cavitation is a painless treatment. Mild redness may appear occasionally but will be highly unlikely to cause any actual pain. The heat from the hand pieces felt during the treatment is perfectly tolerable. 

Is Ultrasound Cavitation a Safe Body Contouring Treatment? 

Yes, it is a nonsurgical process without anesthesia, it is non-invasive (no cutting, leaves no scars or the need for any postoperative course) and no downtime should be experienced after the treatment. 

Which Are The Areas Where Treatment is More effective? 

All those areas with localized fat: thighs, abdomen and buttocks are the most appropriate but there is no real limitation as to areas of the body. 

Can you lose weight with ultrasonic cavitation? 

Cavitation is not a method to lose weight but to reshape the body. It is particularly indicated for the reduction of adiposity, the famous “love handles” that won’t go away with diet and exercise.

Are the results of ultrasonic cavitation similar to those of liposuction? 

Yes! Although ultrasonic cavitation is non-invasive, the results are similar to liposuction. Ultrasonic cavitation removes cellulite, preventing it from recurring in the treated areas, without damaging the vascular system. 

Fat is a solid substance, how can it be eliminated through the urine? 

Because ultrasound cavitation causes an emulsification of fat, converting it into a substance easy to eliminate through the urinary and the lymphatic system. 

Must you follow any guidelines before or after undergoing ultrasound cavitation? 

A low calorie diet is recommended before and after the session. Drinking water, specifically at least 1.5 liters of water, is a necessary part in order to eliminate the fat. Further, regular exercise such as walking or other aerobic activities should also be maintained in order to help the system to naturally process the fat after the treatment. 

How many sessions will I need?

Generally one fat cavitation treatment lasts 60 minutes. 72 hours must pass between each session so that the body can eliminate the fat. The minimum suggested number of fat cavitation sessions is between 6 and 10. Further subsequent treatments may be needed to attain your desired body shape.
