At the Institute for Hormonal Balance, we understand that reaching your body goals can be a challenge. Plus, many body contouring treatments require surgery or recovery periods.
Our providers help those who have tried dieting, exercise, and lifestyle changes finally reach their aesthetic goals with non-invasive body contouring. In Dallas, patients often ask how body contouring works, what treatments feel like, and which option may fit their goals.
Below, we answer some of the most common questions we hear about our body sculpting treatments.
What is non-invasive body contouring?
Our non-invasive body contouring devices use advanced technology to target fat cells and muscle tissue without surgery or incisions. Our practice offers Emsculpt NEO and FlexSure, both of which contour the body by targeting fat cells.
Many of our patients use body contouring treatments to address areas that do not respond to diet and exercise alone. Common treatment areas include:
- Abdomen
- Thighs
- Arms
- Buttocks
- Flanks
How does body contouring work?
We offer 2 different devices, Emsculpt NEO and FlexSure, that work in different ways to enhance your figure and give back your confidence.
Emsculpt NEO combines radiofrequency (RF) energy that gently heats fat cells with high-intensity focused electromagnetic stimulation (HIFES) to target muscle tissue. These energies work simultaneously to reduce pockets of stubborn fat, strengthen muscle fibers, and tone your figure.
FlexSure also reduces fat through gentle heating. The thermal energy targets fat cells beneath the skin while keeping the surrounding tissue unharmed. This treatment does not include HIFES energy.
How many treatments do I need?
The best results from Emsculpt NEO and FlexSure happen after a series of appointments. Typically, our providers recommend 4 to 5 treatments to effectively tone and contour the body.
Since we use non-invasive devices, these sessions should not cause any discomfort. However, our providers can adjust the intensity of your treatment based on your needs and comfort level.
How long until I see results?
Immediately after your sessions, you should see minor improvements in the treatment area(s). The results of non-invasive body contouring take time to fully appear, so you can expect to see full results in 4 months.
During this time, your body flushes out dead fat cells and, with Emsculpt NEO, also strengthens muscle fibers. To sustain your results, we recommend adopting healthy habits to prevent fat accumulation.
Important to note: These devices are not meant for weight loss, but rather for toning and sculpting the body. If you want to embark on a weight loss journey, our team can guide you on diet and exercise recommendations or help you explore GLP-1 medications.
