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®. Both treatments use similar approaches, but the technology is slightly different. In either case, non-surgical body contouring can create the same results as surgical body contouring, but without the need for any incisions or scars. This also means that non-surgical options are a lot easier for the patient to recover from. Both of our treatments have zero [...]

How Safe is Body Contouring?

UltraShape is a safe, non-surgical body-shaping procedure that can be done on your lunch hour. Men and women with subcutaneous fat resistant to diet and exercise can take advantage of this FDA-approved procedure, and gain new confidence in their appearance. Laser Skin Care Center uses UltraShape because it’s painless, requires no anesthetic or recovery time, and leaves no visible signs of treatment. View More Patient Results *Individual results may vary UltraShape: The Technology Explained UltraShape is a non-surgical procedure using ultrasound technology to contour your body and reduce fat cells. As the fat cell walls are targeted, fat is released in the form of triglycerides that your liver processes out of your body.  Due to the measured energy of this technology, fat cells are targeted without damage to the surrounding tissue, nerves, blood vessels, and muscles. It is a noninvasive treatment, so you don’t need anesthesia. Is UltraShape FDA-Approved? Yes. The UltraShape procedure was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the reduction of abdominal [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
