Body Sculpting Decoded

Non-Invasive body contouring has come a long way since the old days of using carbon dioxide gas and fat-dissolving solvents to melt away fat cells. Remember carboxytherapy and mesotherapy? Today, body contouring has evolved to involve high-tech platforms which utilizes non-invasive technology ranging from cold, to radiofrequency and acoustic waves to blast fat cells away.

Sieving through the different body contouring treatments can be mind-boggling for the uninitiated, hence we give you a helping hand to decipher which treatments would suit you best. In a nutshell, what most women (or men) want is a treatment that can blast away as much fat cells as possible but with minimal downtime and discomfort, while requiring the least number of sessions. Is that too much to ask? Apparently not.

Freezing Fat Cells Away :  CoolSculpting by Zeltiq

CoolSculpting has taken the world by storm as it is the first time cold energy is used to shape the body. The fat cells, after being chilled to near freezing temperatures, undergo natural cell death or apoptosis, and are cleared by the body’s natural metabolic processes. This innovative body sculpting treatment destroys 20-25% of the fat cells in the treated area in a single 60 min session – meaning results can be seen after every session. Now, we know why this uber-“cool” body slimming treatment is a hot favorite with A-listers worldwide.
