Is Body Sculpting Painful?

Our non-surgical body sculpting treatments are more comfortable and less painful than surgical procedures, however, you may experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort during the initial stages of recovery. This should subside within the week, but any pain or discomfort can be treated with over-the-counter pain medication.

How Many Appointments Will I Need?

Every treatment has its own timeline, so the number of treatments necessary will vary based on your individual needs and the technique. On average, you can expect to require a few treatments spaced apart to achieve optimal contour results. When you come in for your consultation, your provider will be able to discuss your treatment and recovery timeline in full detail.

How Long Until I See the Results?

You should be able to notice some of the initial changes to your body’s contour within six to eight weeks, but you should expect it to take closer to 10 or 12 weeks before seeing the optimal results from your body sculpting treatment. The final results are usually achieved about three to six months after treatment, or when you are fully recovered.

Can I Combine Body Sculpting with Other Procedures?

Our Huntersville and Greensboro body sculpting patients often request additional procedures to achieve an entirely refreshed, reinvigorated look, such as a non-surgical butt lift, BOTOX or dermal fillers, an IPL PhotoFacial, or other minimally invasive treatments. Please schedule a consultation at CAMI so we can help you develop a customized treatment plan that meets all your aesthetic goals.

Introduction to Body Sculpting

As we age, our skin loses its elasticity and begins to sag or appear loose. Today’s medical advancements have made it possible to reshape and sculpt areas of the body without invasive surgeries. Our body sculpting treatment at our Huntersville & Greensboro locations (near Charlotte, North Carolina) can reshape areas of the body to restore a healthier appearance. You can schedule a consultation with Dr. Stephen Giordano, medical director at Carolina Age Management Institute (CAMI), to discuss your options.

What is Body Sculpting?

Body sculpting, or body contouring, is a cosmetic surgery procedure that contours the body.

At Carolina Age Management Institute in both Huntersville and Greensboro, body sculpting involves non-invasive or minimally invasive treatments that reshape areas of the body without extensive recoveries. Using skin rejuvenating treatments such as radiofrequency ultrasound, micro liposuction, injectables, and laser, Dr. Giordano can rejuvenate loose skin in areas of the body to look healthier and younger.

Treatments offered at Carolina Age Management Institute include:

Kybella® – eliminates fat from the neck and jawline
ThermiVA® – tightens loose skin around the vaginal area
Smartlipo™ – removes excess fat permanently. Enjoy a new silhouette with results visible in a week

What Are the Benefits of Body Sculpting?

Body sculpting includes non-invasive skin care treatments that boost collagen production to add volume to sagging or loose skin. In addition to the added confidence body sculpting provides, here are some benefits of the procedure itself:

Fast treatments: A huge benefit of noninvasive body sculpting treatments is that there is absolutely no downtime after treatment. Since these procedures don’t involve surgery or incisions, patients can often resume work and other activities immediately after their appointment. For our patients, this added benefit makes body sculpting a convenient treatment during their lunch break or anytime.
Time to relax: Most body sculpting treatments are tolerable and comfortable. Since they typically last between 30 minutes and an hour, patients enjoy using their phones, reading a book, and performing other activities during their treatment.
Treat nearly any area of the body: Body sculpting treatments are advanced and versatile. They can target specific areas of the body, including the underarms or thighs. Although most patients use these treatments to target the abdomen, buttocks, and lower back, there are many appropriate applications for body sculpting treatments.
Your results improve over time: Body sculpting treatments stimulate changes in the body for months after the treatment is performed. Although the fat cells are treated during your appointment, it takes several weeks for them to be completely removed from the body. As a result, patients will notice a continuous improvement in their results for a few months following their treatment.
No preparation needed: This type of noninvasive treatment requires no preparation. Simply show up to your appointment at one of our Carolina Age Management locations in Huntersville or Greensboro, NC, near Charlotte, and we will take care of the rest.
No recovery time: There is no recovery time to anticipate with any body sculpting treatments. Results become noticeable immediately following the treatments, with fully visible results over the following few weeks. Multiple treatments may be necessary and spread out within a few weeks of each appointment.

Let’s Get Started

What’s the First Step?

The first step in getting body sculpting in North Carolina is to contact CAMI and schedule your initial consultation. When you come in, you will meet with your personal provider, who will examine your body, discuss your aesthetic goals, and review your medical history and lifestyle. This is the perfect time to ask any questions you may have and have your concerns addressed, so we encourage you to make the most of your time.

Our patient coordinator will then help you schedule your treatment appointment and provide you with any instructions you should follow to ensure the safest and best results.

What to Expect on the Day of Body Sculpting Treatment

Liposuction is one of the best-known body sculpting treatments, but many noninvasive alternatives offer similar results without the surgery and downtime. When you are trying to find the best choices for non-invasive body sculpting, you want to know you have come to the right place. Body sculpting treatments at our Huntersville or Greensboro locations near Charlotte, North Carolina, are an excellent solution for reducing stubborn fat and achieving a toned figure.

Procedures vary depending on the area of the body being treated. The treatments typically involve using dermal fillers and injectables to break fat apart while boosting collagen and applying special devices to smooth and tighten skin and diminish fat. The treatments are painless or cause very little discomfort and can be accomplished within no more than an hour.

Body Sculpting Recovery

Since our body contouring treatments are non-surgical and minimally invasive, patients will require little to no downtime afterward. You should be able to resume most of your normal activities immediately, but depending on the treatment, you may need to avoid more rigorous activities for the first day or two.

Types of Body Sculpting We Offer

With so many options, deciding what treatment is best for you can be tough. Let’s consider your options:

SmartLipo™

SmartLipo™ is laser-assisted liposuction, using laser energy to liquefy fat for easy removal and a more comfortable body sculpting treatment experience.

As an added benefit, the laser energy used during SmartLipo™ helps tighten the skin for improved results. Thanks to the use of laser energy, patients can enjoy less downtime and scarring than traditional liposuction.

BodyTite

BodyTite provides both internal and external lipolysis, which means that it destroys fat cells. It does this via the safe administration of radiofrequency (RF) energy just underneath the skin.

BodyTite can be an effective, non-surgical way to eliminate unwanted fat and flab from many different parts of the body. Most commonly, BodyTite is used to address issues around the abdomen.

FaceTite

This FDA-approved, minimally invasive facelift alternative employs radiofrequency (RF) energy under the skin’s surface. This RF energy produces two results: one, it melts away subcutaneous fat, and two, it stimulates the body’s production of collagen, a natural substance that gives the skin its firmness and elasticity. Find out more about FaceTite on our dedicated page to the treatment.

Morpheus8

Morpehus8 is a best in class RF Microneedling device. RF microneedling is a cutting-edge skin treatment that combines traditional microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy to enhance skin rejuvenation. Tiny needles create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This stimulates the body’s natural healing process, encouraging collagen and elastin production. Alongside microneedling, RF energy is delivered through the needles into the deeper layers of the skin.
