Summer and swimsuit season may seem far away here in Minnesota, but the warmer months will be here before you know it. If the idea of putting on a swimsuit makes you shiver, body contouring by the aesthetic providers at Sublime Aesthetic Professionals in East Grand Forks, Minnesota, can bring a smile to your face.

Here’s a closer look at body contouring and how it can help you greet the bathing suit season with a smile this year.

Body contouring: A targeted solution

Body contouring is a nonsurgical way to target layers of hard-to-lose fat. Even if you’re at a healthy weight, your body sometimes accumulates fatty deposits near the surface of your skin. Since you don’t need to lose weight, it can be nearly impossible to get these pockets of fat to budge with diet and exercise.

Body contouring uses different technologies that help your treatment specialists sculpt your figure. After treatment, your body naturally removes the targeted fat cells, smoothing away unwanted fat in even the most stubborn areas.

At Sublime Aesthetic Professional, we offer two body contouring solutions: CoolSculpting® and Kybella®. Here’s a closer look!

Kybella®

If you’re struggling with fatty deposits under the chin, FDA-approved Kybella may be the solution you’re seeking. This injection of synthetic deoxycholic acid, a substance that naturally occurs in the body, helps your body break down and absorb excess fat.

Your treatment takes about 15-20 minutes, and you may need additional injections to get the results you want. These should be spaced at least one month apart.

CoolSculpting®

CoolSculpting allows your provider to freeze target deposits — usually in just one session! The procedure is quick and painless, though you may feel a pulling sensation as the treatment gets underway.

CoolSculpting’s freezing temperatures break down fat cells quickly and safely. Plus, your results are long-lasting since your body won’t grow new fat cells. Studies show an average 20% reduction in fat after treatment.

The best part? You don’t have to worry about taking time off since there’s no recovery. After your treatment you can get on with your day!

Start now to greet swimsuit season with a smile!

Because it takes time for your body to remove the targeted fat calls and optimize your contouring treatments, your best results appear three to six months after your treatment sessions. By starting body contouring in winter, you’ll be swimsuit-ready by summer!

Remember, body contouring can give you impressive results — but it isn’t a weight-loss solution. Overweight or obese patients should lose the excess weight first and consider body contouring as a way to end their weight-loss journey.

You may be a candidate for body contouring at Sublime Aesthetic Professionals if:

• You’re at a healthy weight (BMI < 30)
• Are willing to keep up a healthy lifestyle and body weight
• Your goals are realistic
• You exercise regularly
• You eat a healthy diet

Before determining a treatment plan, your team member reviews your medical history, evaluates your overall health, and discusses your goals to ensure body contouring is right for you.
