Body Contouring Long Beach

What is Body Contouring?

Body contouring is a term given to a range of different cosmetic treatments - both surgical and non-surgical. All of these treatments have the same goal; to help sculpt the body into a more defined physique. This is typically done by reducing fat in specific areas of the body, and it can also involve skin tightening as well. Surgical body contouring treatments will usually involve liposuction, but there are plenty of non-surgical options available. At Laser Skin Care Center, we offer two different alternatives for patients that wish to avoid surgery.  View More Patient Results *Individual results may vary About Non-Surgical Body Contouring The two options we provide are UltraShape® and VelaShape®.

This also means that non-surgical options are a lot easier for the patient to recover from. Both of our treatments have zero [...]

What are the Differences between UltraShape and Liposuction?

Aging, genetics, and lifestyle can take a toll on the body and add extra volume and fat to areas that used to respond well to diet and exercise. Liposuction and UltraShape are both great ways to contour the body and look slimmer. But what are the differences? Liposuction is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures and is the gold standard for fat reduction. However, it is surgical and invasive. Liposuction removes fat from your body using a small tube that is inserted through tiny incisions in the skin. Fat is suctioned out under the skin from targeted areas of fat deposits. Liposuction is a very effective form of removing fat deposits in small areas. UltraShape removes fat through ultrasound technology. This procedure shakes the fat cells until they collapse and the destroyed fat cell particles are filtered through the liver and digested through the body naturally over the course of the next few weeks. The results are more natural fat loss and you will not see a drastic change overnight unlike liposuction. Unlike liposuction, UltraShape Power is nonsurgical which [...]

Get Rid of Stubborn Fat with UltraShape

Looking for a way to get rid of stubborn fat? Are diet and exercise not working like they used to? UltraShape Power is the first and only FDA-cleared, non-invasive body-shaping procedure that uses focused, pulsed ultrasound for selective fat-cell removal. It can be used to contour the thighs, love handles, stomach, arms, bra line, and knees. UltraShape is different than other non-invasive body contouring procedures because it doesn’t use heating or cooling to remove fat. Instead, ultrasonic vibration is used to destroy fat cells. The device shakes the fat cells until the cell walls break apart and release. The body then naturally expels the fat cells. Another bonus of Ultrashape is a feature that ensures cells aren’t targeted more than once, thus minimizing the risk of contouring irregularities. With other body contouring procedures, cosmetic doctors have to eyeball over-treating a section, which could potentially lead to irregular results. UltraShape is not a weight loss solution – it’s best suited for those with a little extra fat to get rid of. It’s not recommended for anyone [...]

Can Velashape Contouring Make My Clothes Fit Better?

An estimated 85% to 98% of women over the age of 18 have cellulite – which affects women regardless of size, shape, or weight. VelaShape is a non-invasive body shaping treatment to reduce cellulite and slim the stomach, hips, and thighs. Treatment enables you to safely achieve a toned, contoured and well-shaped body in as few as four treatment sessions, making you look and feel more youthful and confident. Though not a weight loss procedure, Velashape reshapes and tones your body and helps you to lose inches from your hips, thighs, and waist. This can make your clothes fit better – particularly skinny jeans and close fitting tops. It will not, however, help you drop several pant sizes! If you desire to contour your body, fit better into clothing, and reduce trouble spots and cellulite that don’t respond to diet and exercise, VelaShape may be a great option. Schedule a consultation with Long Beach’s Laser Skin Care Center to find out if VelaShape is right for you. Ideal candidates have a BMI of less than 30, don’t have severe [...]

What are the Best Options for Non-Invasive Body Contouring?

For a long time, liposuction was the only way to contour the body. An invasive procedure that involves incisions, many people were wary of the scars and recovery time. With advances in technology come many options for non-invasive body contouring. But which ones are the best? UltraShape Power FDA-cleared, UltraShape Power uses focused, pulsed ultrasound for selective fat-cell removal. UltraShape destroys the fat cells in the focal area and increases blood circulation and lymphatic system activity to expedite the clearance of the liquefied fat. Targeting unwanted fat, this procedure reduces fat deposits and body circumference, and improves body shape. The body naturally removes these fat cells over a 2-3 week period and most patients see maximum results about 4 weeks after the procedure. The results are long-lasting. VelaShape Also FDA-cleared, VelaShape is a body shaping treatment that reduces cellulite and reduces the size of the stomach, hips, and thighs. Combining infrared light, radiofrequency energy and vacuum technologies to gently deep heat the fat cells, the surrounding connective tissues and underlying dermal collagen fibers. This stimulates [...]

What Is VelaShape and How Is It Different From UltraShape Power?

When it comes to non-invasive body contouring, it seems as though there are endless options available on the market today.  Each body contouring treatment promises inch loss, but they take very different approaches in order to achieve those results.  How do these body contouring treatments work, and how are they so different from one another? To help understand, let’s take a look at two popular non-invasive body contouring procedures: VelaShape and UltraShape Power. VelaShape combines the power of radiofrequency energy with vacuum technology to heat and destroys fat cells underneath the dermis.  In addition to destroying fat cells, radiofrequency helps to heat and trigger collagen production for younger, tighter-looking skin.  By combining these two effects, VelaShape helps to eliminate the appearance of cellulite and promote inch loss around the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, and waistline. UltraShape Power uses ultrasound energy to heat and liquefies those same fat cells.  UltraShape Power delivers a bigger punch (clinical trials have shown that it reduces fat cells by up to 32%); however, it’s not as effective at eliminating the appearance of cellulite as VelaShape.  Therefore, [...]
