Body Contouring Q&A

​

What is body contouring?

​

Body contouring refers to procedures that alter your body’s curves by removing or minimizing features like excess fat, cellulite, and fluid buildup. All of these impact the contours of your body in various areas.

 

The team at Tourmaline Skin Care & Laser uses several beneficial treatments to make you look as slim and smooth as possible, including:

 

Wood therapy

 

Wood therapy stimulates blood circulation and improves lymphatic drainage to get rid of excess fluid accumulation. 

 

Cavitation

​

Cavitation has many benefits, including fat removal, cellulite reduction, and increased collagen production. It uses ultrasonic vibrations to break down fat cells which then leave your body through the lymphatic system.

 

Shock waves

​

Shock wave therapy is one of the most effective ways you can reduce cellulite. It uses pressure waves to break down fat and stimulate supportive collagen growth deep in your tissues. 

​

Viora V-FORM®

 

Viora V-FORM is a body contouring, skin tightening, and cellulite reduction device using CORE™ technology, radiofrequency (RF) energy, and vacuum suction. It allows for greater depth penetration and requires no downtime. 

​

Which areas of my body can I treat with body contouring?

 

The Tourmaline Skin Care & Laser team helps you decide which areas of your body you want to treat during an in-depth consultation. They ask about your goals and examine your body. Then, they recommend one or more body contouring treatments to treat commonly targeted areas like your:

• Thighs

• Buttocks

• Stomach

• Flanks or love handles

To get the results you want to see, the team at Tourmaline Skin Care & Laser typically recommends getting a series of five body contouring treatments at 70 minutes per session. The body contouring treatments at Tourmaline Skin Care & Laser are all non-invasive and won’t leave you with any new scars. 

 

How long do my body contouring results last?

 

Body contouring treatments give you long-lasting results that you can maintain with a healthy, active lifestyle. If you become sedentary or adopt a diet filled with fried foods, alcohol, and other low nutrient dense foods, it’s possible to gain weight and see the results of your body contouring treatments disappear. 

 

The team at Tourmaline Skin Care & Laser makes sure you have a positive outlook and realistic expectations for your results before you undergo any body contouring treatments. You should make sure you’re close to your ideal weight before undergoing body contouring of any kind because these treatments don’t help you lose weight.
