The result you want
Non-surgical body contouring reduces small, discrete pockets of fat that stay put despite consistent diet and exercise. It is a shaping treatment for people already near a stable weight, not a weight loss method, and our medical team assesses candidacy at our Boca Raton med spa before recommending it. Book a consultation.
Non-surgical body contouring targets localized fat in the abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, and back. It is a contouring treatment, not a weight loss treatment, and works best on people already near their target weight. Medically supervised weight loss injections are a separate path we also offer.
Which of these suits you is decided at a complimentary consultation, from your skin and your history.
Fat is not lost evenly, and where your body holds on is largely genetic and hormonal rather than a matter of effort. Lower abdomen, flanks, inner thighs and under the chin are the usual holdouts. Someone can be lean, training consistently, and still have a pocket that has not moved in years. That is exactly the situation contouring was designed for, and it is also why it does nothing useful for someone whose weight is still changing.
These are confused constantly and they need opposite treatments. Pinch the area. If what comes away between your fingers is thick and soft, that is subcutaneous fat and contouring applies. If it is thin and crepey and settles back slowly, that is laxity, and reducing fat there will make it look worse by removing what was filling it out. Skin tightening is the treatment for that, and some plans need both in a specific order.

Contouring an area while your weight is still changing means treating a target that will not stay put. If your goal is weight loss rather than shaping, a medically guided plan is where to start, and contouring comes afterward for what remains. Doing it the other way around is the most common way people waste money on this.

Treated fat cells are cleared by the body gradually over weeks to months, so nothing visible happens the week you are treated. More than one session on an area is common. And the fat cells that remain can still enlarge, so holding your weight is what preserves the result. Anyone describing a dramatic change in days is describing swelling.

No. It reduces a specific pocket of fat in a specific place. It is a shaping treatment for people already near a stable weight, and it does not meaningfully change what the scale says.
Pinch the area. Thick and soft is fat, and contouring applies. Thin and crepey that settles back slowly is laxity, and reducing fat there will make it look worse. Skin tightening is the treatment for that.
Discrete, pinchable pockets rather than diffuse fat: the lower abdomen, flanks, under the bra line, inner and outer thighs, upper arms and under the chin.
Weeks to months, because the body clears treated fat cells gradually. Judge the outcome months out rather than in the first few weeks, and expect that a second session on an area is common.
If weight loss is your goal, yes. Contouring an area while your weight is still moving means treating a target that will not stay put. Start with a medically guided plan and contour what remains.
