Body Contouring Services
Non-surgical body contouring treatments make it possible to target stubborn fat areas that have not been responsive to diet and exercise without invasive surgery. Body contouring can help you took trimmer by getting rid of excess fat on the thighs, abdomen, buttocks, back, and other areas.
Dr. McAlpin utilizes two highly effective methods of body contouring at her Los Angeles, CA, practice. Body contouring treatments are performed as outpatient procedures and include ultrasound and cryolipolysis. Dr. McAlpin is an aesthetic specialist and can help you determine which body contouring method is right for you.
Ultrasound body contouring is sometimes also referred to as fat cavitation. This treatment method works by targeting specific areas of fat cell deposits beneath the skin with low-level ultrasound energy. The targeted fat cells are essentially liquified. Over time, the body naturally absorbs these damaged fat cells and gets rid of them through the lymphatic system. In addition to eliminating unwanted fat, another benefit of the ultrasound method is that it does not damage the skin or other surrounding tissue.
The cryolipolysis method of body contouring works by using cold energy to freeze unwanted fat cells. The body treats the newly frozen fat cells as dead tissue and works to eliminate them. Over time, the body gradually flushes out the frozen fat cells. Like the ultrasound method, cryolipolysis does not cause damage to the skin or other tissue. Only the fat deposits are targeted during treatment.
Since ultrasound and cryolipolysis body contouring treatments are both non-surgical outpatient procedures, there is little to no downtime. Most clients are able to return to their normal activities immediately after treatment. To achieve maximum results, multiple treatment sessions might be needed. Dr. McAlpin can determine how many treatments would be needed to achieve the results you desire.
