Body contouring is something most people in Charlotte, NC have heard of. Though most people are familiar with the term, they may not really know how it works or even if it is a good option for them. Used to blast away the stubborn fat, this treatment is not for everyone but can be very effective. Learn more about it, below.
How it works
Body contouring at Dermatology Specialists of Charlotte is performed using Vanquish. This machine uses heat to warm the skin up 101 degrees and the underlying fat to 120 degrees. This heat destroys the fat cells, giving patients long-lasting results.
Your body contouring treatment is relatively quick, lasting approximately 30 minutes. However, it is important to note that people need, on average, four treatments to achieve their results, so you will need to return for additional treatments. Your doctor will be able to advise you on how many treatments you will need to achieve full results.
If you think body contouring is right for you, the benefits are many. In addition to helping you look your best, this treatment offers many other benefits as well. It is:
- Pain-free. You should not experience any pain, though you may feel a slight warming of the area being treated.
- Has minimal side effects. Since it is noninvasive, you won’t need to worry about anesthesia or healing an incision.
- Has no downtime. You can return to normal activities right after your body contouring treatment.
