If you’ve been sweating it out at the gym and counting calories to make those last stubborn pounds disappear, we have good news: Thanks to body contouring, you can get the shape you’ve been working to achieve — without the risks or lengthy recovery associated with surgical solutions.
The aesthetic providers at Sublime Aesthetic Professionals in East Grand Forks, Minnesota, help you reach your aesthetic goals and shed those last stubborn pounds using the amazing technology of CoolSculpting® and Kybella®.
Here’s a closer look at what body contouring entails and how our services can get you beach-body ready without breaking a sweat!
Why do I have stubborn fat?
Even when you reach a healthy weight, it’s possible to develop stubborn fatty deposits that just won’t budge. This fat typically accumulates close to the surface of your skin, often around your belly, buttocks, and thighs.
It’s tough to shed these last few pounds because your body doesn’t need to lose weight. You can exercise to boost muscle tone and watch every bite, but diet and exercise alone aren’t usually enough to zap this stubborn fat.
Can body contouring get rid of those last few pounds?
Body contouring is a great way to target stubborn fat that can stick to your body even once you reach your goal weight. This type of treatment uses different nonsurgical technologies to sculpt your figure and smooth away stubborn pockets of fat.
At Sublime Aesthetic Professional, we’ve selected two of the safest and most effective treatments for shaping your body without surgery: CoolSculpting and Kybella.
FDA-approved Kybella works well to banish unwanted fatty deposits under your chin. This treatment uses synthetic deoxycholic acid, a substance your body naturally makes to break down fat.
CoolSculpting works by freezing fat deposits quickly and painlessly. The cold temperatures break down your unwanted fat cells. Over time, your body removes these blasted cells with other cellular waste.
The treatment isn’t painful, though you may experience a slight tugging sensation, and on average, patients experience a 20% reduction in fat in each treatment area. You can enjoy CoolSculpting in many locations, including:
- Back and bra line
- Buttocks
- Inner and outer thighs
- Under your chin
- Upper arms
With both Kybella and CoolSculpting, there’s no downtime required, meaning you can get your treatment and continue with your normal activities right away. Keep in mind, however, that results aren’t immediate.
Once your fat gets treated, your body needs time to break down and remove the destroyed fat cells through your lymphatic system. On average, it takes three to six months for results to appear.
Am I a candidate for body contouring?
The best way to learn if you’re a candidate for body contouring at Sublime Aesthetic Professionals is by making an appointment with one of our specialists. Our team customizes a body contouring treatment plan based on your unique needs.
Generally, you might be a good candidate for body contouring if:
- You’re at or near your ideal weight (BMI < 30)
- Are committed to maintaining your weight
- Are committed to maintaining a healthy lifestyle (e.g., diet and exercise)
- You have realistic goals for treatment
Remember, although body contouring can give you the shape you desire, it isn’t a weight loss procedure. If you’re overweight or obese, it’s important to lose weight first before considering nonsurgical body contouring.
