The Top Body Contouring Methods in 2023
Body contouring has grown in popularity over the years. Many people are now looking for non-invasive ways to achieve the body shape and definition they’ve always wanted. Thanks to advancements in technology, there are now several body contouring devices on the market that promise to deliver effective results. In this article, we’ll be discussing some of the best body contouring devices on the market, starting with Contour Light.
Contour Light
Contour Light is a body contouring device that uses low-level laser therapy (LLLT) to target fat cells and encourage them to release their contents. It is an FDA-approved device that is commonly used in medical spas, weight loss clinics, and wellness centers. Contour Light is non-invasive and painless, making it an attractive option for people who want to sculpt their bodies without undergoing surgery.
How it works: Contour Light uses red and near-infrared light to penetrate the skin and target fat cells. The light causes pores in the fat cells to open, and the contents are released into the lymphatic system. This process is called lipolysis and generally results in a loss of inches as well as improvements in skin tightness and elasticity.
Benefits: Contour Light boasts several benefits, including:
- No pain or downtime
- Quick and comfortable treatments
- Visible and measurable results that can be achieved in sessions lasting as little as 25 minutes
Pricing: The price of Contour Light varies depending on the location and provider. However, on average, most providers charge $200-$300 per session.
SculpSure
SculpSure is another top body contouring device that uses laser energy to destroy fat cells. It is approved by the FDA and is commonly used to target the abdomen, love handles, back, thighs, and under the chin. SculpSure is non-invasive and targets fat cells without damaging surrounding tissues.
How it works: SculpSure uses laser energy to heat and destroy fat cells. The heat is applied in a continuous cycle and is often described as a warm, tingling sensation. Once the fat cells have been destroyed, they are naturally eliminated from the body.
Benefits: SculpSure offers a variety of benefits, including:
- Safe and effective treatment with minimal discomfort
- Little to no downtime
- Visible results after as little as one treatment
- Natural-looking results
Pricing: The price of SculpSure varies depending on the location and provider. The average cost is about $1500-$2000 per area treated.
CoolSculpting
CoolSculpting is a popular body contouring device that targets stubborn fat cells using a process called cryolipolysis. It is an FDA-approved, non-surgical treatment that has been around since 2010. CoolSculpting is commonly used to treat the abdomen, thighs, and love handles.
How it works: CoolSculpting uses cold temperatures to freeze and destroy fat cells. The fat cells are then eliminated naturally over time. The procedure takes about an hour per area, and most people see results in as little as 3-4 weeks.
Benefits: CoolSculpting is a popular option for many people because:
- The procedure is non-invasive and completely pain-free
- Little to no downtime is required
- Natural-looking results
- Permanent fat loss.
Pricing: The cost of CoolSculpting varies widely depending on the location and provider. Prices range from $2000-$4000 per area treated.
Note: There have been some recent reports that CoolSculpting may have harmful side effects on a small number of people who try the treatment.
EmSculpt
EmSculpt is a relatively new body contouring device that uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to target muscles and burn fat. It is FDA-approved and is used to tone and strengthen the abdomen, buttocks, arms, and thighs.
How it works: EmSculpt uses electromagnetic waves to stimulate muscle contractions that are much stronger than those that can naturally be achieved through exercise or other body contouring devices. The contractions cause the muscles to break down fat cells, resulting in increased muscle tone and definition.
Benefits: EmSculpt offers several benefits, including:
- Non-invasive treatment with little to no downtime
- Safe and effective for most people
- Quick and comfortable treatments
- Results that can be seen in as little as 2-4 sessions
Pricing: The price of EmSculpt varies depending on the location and provider. On average, patients can expect to pay around $3000-$4000 per treatment.
