Am I a Candidate for Nonsurgical Body Contouring?
You might be an optimal patient for body contouring if you deal with loose skin or pesky fat in regions that are difficult to shed, even with a nutritious diet and consistent physical activity. The décolletage, stomach, lower back, thighs, and buttocks, for example, can each carry fat, leading to undesirable love handles. The ideal candidates for nonsurgical body contouring are men and women in Webster, TX who are at an ideal weight and would like a more toned, leaner physique but aren't ready for involved surgical treatments with a higher cost and longer downtime.

The cost of EMSCULPT is $750/session and normally requires about four sessions (two per week for two weeks).

EXILIS Ultra
In order to treat skin laxity and reduce the appearance of wrinkles, Exilis Ultra uses controlled heating and cooling to reach below the skin's surface. By stimulating the skin's production of collagen, this treatment can create tighter, firmer skin on the face and body. If you are looking to experience facial skin tightening, as well as body contouring, Exilis Ultra may be an ideal option for you and your desired results.
What Can I Expect After Nonsurgical Body Contouring?
There is normally no required downtime following nonsurgical body contouring, and many individuals experience very few side effects. You can expect to have redness, swelling, and bruising in the treated areas, however, these concerns may go away within a couple of days. Depending on your unique contours and the area being addressed, you may notice visible enhancements right away. Typically, most individuals should feel a dramatic reduction in the measurements of the addressed area over a span of 3 – 6 months. After your body rids the fat cells, they won't return. But it's important to maintain a healthy weight, as excessive weight gain can affect the results.
Nonsurgical Body Contouring FAQs
How long do body contouring results last if normal body weight is maintained?
If you maintain an overall healthy weight, your nonsurgical body contouring results can last for years. For most patients, a series of nonsurgical body contouring treatments are needed to achieve your desired outcome. Additionally, it could take up to three months following your last treatment to notice your optimal results.
Can EMSCULPT treat other body areas besides the abs?
Yes, EMSCULPT can be utilized to treat several areas of the body, including the arms, thighs, shoulders, abdomen, calves, and lower back. However, EMSCULPT can not be performed on the chest or upper back.
What is the average cost of an EMSCULPT body contouring treatment?
The cost of an EMSCULPT treatment session is $750. Typically, four sessions are required and spaced out at two sessions per week for two weeks.
Does EMSCULPT hurt?
Absolutely not, an EMSCULPT session shouldn't feel painful. The majority of individuals indicate that the treatment feels comparable to a tough training session coupled with a feeling of warmth in the treatment area. You will be able to lay down and relax while undergoing the treatment.
How exactly does EMSCULPT work?
EMSCULPT treatments work by employing RF technology. RF transports heat energy into the body, inciting the discarding of fat tissue in that region. As a matter of fact, reports indicate that with one half-hour session with EMSCULPT, the muscle fibers of an individual will tighten around 20,000 times.
How many treatments will I need?
You should see results from your nonsurgical body contouring as soon as 2 weeks after your treatment. At Clear Lake Dermatology, treatment number depends on each individual patients' needs and goals. However, we typically recommend around 4 treatment sessions to see optimal results.
