What Is Body Contouring?

Body contouring is a category of non-surgical treatments designed to destroy fat cells, tighten skin, and reshape specific body areas, without incisions, anesthesia, or recovery time. Unlike traditional liposuction, today’s non-invasive body contouring devices use controlled energy (heat, cooling, or ultrasound) to break down fat cells so your body can eliminate them naturally through the lymphatic system over the following weeks.

At Aesthetics MedSpa, body contouring is one of our core services, and it’s an area we’re proud to have led in Reno for over a decade. As a non-invasive cosmetic procedure, it’s a popular first step for patients who want a body transformation without the recovery time of surgical fat removal. We offer several proven, FDA-cleared technologies, each suited to different goals, body types, and treatment areas.

Body Sculpting in Reno, NV: How Our Treatments Work

Every body carries stubborn fat and problem areas differently, which is why we don’t offer a one-size-fits-all approach to body sculpting. During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your treatment area, skin laxity, and goals to recommend the method most likely to help you achieve the best results.

Ultrasound Fat Reduction in Reno: UltraShape Power

UltraShape Power uses focused ultrasound energy to selectively destroy fat cells beneath the skin’s surface, without heat, needles, or damage to surrounding tissue. It’s a popular choice for patients seeking visible circumference reduction in the abdomen and flanks with zero downtime.

Radiofrequency Body Contouring: VelaShape

VelaShape combines infrared light, bipolar radiofrequency energy, and gentle vacuum massage to heat fat cells and the surrounding connective tissue. This dual action reduces the appearance of cellulite while stimulating new collagen and elastin, making it a strong option for patients who want both fat reduction and firmer, smoother skin.

Injectable Fat Reduction: Kybella

For smaller, more targeted areas like the chin, Kybella injections use a synthetic form of a naturally occurring compound to target and reduce fat cells beneath the skin.

Body Contouring Treatment Areas We Target

Our body contouring treatments are customized to a wide range of trouble spots that resist diet and exercise, including:

  • Abdomen – reduce stubborn belly fat and tighten post-pregnancy or post-weight-loss skin
  • Flanks (“love handles”) – smooth and contour the sides of the waist
  • Upper arms – firm loose skin and reduce localized fat Inner and outer thighs – reshape and tone for a more balanced silhouette
  • Chin and neck – define the jawline with targeted injectable treatment

You may be a good candidate for non-invasive body contouring if you’re close to your goal weight, have realistic expectations about gradual results, and want to address localized fat or mild skin laxity that hasn’t responded to regular exercise alone.

Body Contouring Treatment Areas We Target

Most body contouring treatment sessions take between 20 minutes and an hour, depending on the treatment area and technology used. Because these are non-invasive, in-office treatments, there’s no incision, anesthesia, or recovery period, so you can typically return to your normal routine immediately after your appointment.

Results build gradually as your body naturally processes and eliminates treated fat cells over the following weeks. Most patients complete a series of 3 to 6 sessions, spaced roughly a week or two apart, to reach their full fat reduction results.

Treatments like UltraShape and Kybella offer permanent fat reduction in the cells they target, and maintaining a stable weight with a balanced diet and regular exercise will help you enjoy your new shape for the long term.

FAQ

Most frequent questions and answers
Body contouring, as offered at Aesthetics MedSpa, uses non-surgical technology (radiofrequency, ultrasound, or targeted injections) to gradually reduce fat cells without incisions, anesthesia, or downtime. Liposuction is a surgical procedure that physically removes fat but requires anesthesia and a recovery period. Non-surgical body contouring is best suited to smaller, stubborn areas rather than significant weight loss.
Most patients see the best results after 3 to 6 sessions, though this varies by treatment type, treatment area, and individual goals. We’ll recommend a specific customized treatment plan during your consultation.
Treatments like UltraShape and Kybella destroy fat cells permanently, meaning those specific cells won’t return. However, remaining fat cells in the treated area (and elsewhere in the body) can still expand with weight gain, so maintaining a stable weight helps preserve your results long-term.
Most patients describe non-invasive treatment as comfortable, with sensations ranging from warmth to mild pressure depending on the technology used. There’s no anesthesia required, and most people return to normal activities right after treatment.
Good candidates are typically at or near a healthy weight with localized fat or mild skin laxity that hasn’t responded to diet and exercise. A personalized consultation is the best way to find out which treatment fits your body and goals.
Finally, many people report feeling an improvement to energy levels, performance, and greater mental clarity. The effects vary depending on your vitamin cocktail. Our team can help you select the cocktail that’s best for your health conditions and your goals.
