Is Non-Surgical Fat Reduction Safe?
Struggling with Stubborn Fat?
Despite our best efforts with exercise and healthy eating, some areas of the body seem to hold onto stubborn fat. This can be frustrating and impact your confidence. Fortunately, there are non-surgical body contouring options designed to help reduce these resistant fat pockets without the need for invasive surgery.
One such method is fat reduction through targeted medical cosmetic procedures, which can assist in sculpting areas like the chin, abdomen, hips, thighs, and more. But one question many clients ask is: Is it safe?
What Is Non-Surgical Fat Reduction?
This technique involves a therapeutic formulation administered by a trained professional to help the body naturally break down and eliminate fat in selected areas. The solution interacts with fat cells beneath the skin’s surface, encouraging a more contoured and refined appearance over time. This procedure is an alternative to traditional surgical approaches and does not require any downtime or incisions.
Who Is a Suitable Candidate?
Ideal candidates are typically aged 18–60, have good skin elasticity, and are looking to improve body contours in specific areas. This treatment may not be suitable if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have underlying skin conditions, or any medical condition that affects fat metabolism.
Your cosmetic nurse will conduct a full consultation to assess whether this approach is appropriate for you. Skin quality, medical history, and your aesthetic goals are all factored into developing a safe and effective treatment plan.
Are There Side Effects?
Like most medical cosmetic procedures, temporary side effects can occur. These may include redness, swelling, or sensitivity at the treatment site. These are generally mild and resolve on their own within a few days. A thorough pre-treatment consultation ensures that you are well-informed and confident in your decision.
Common Treatment Areas
This body contouring treatment can target a variety of areas, including:
Chin and jawline
Abdomen
Hips and thighs
Upper arms
Back and flanks
The number of sessions needed varies depending on the area being treated and your individual body composition. Most people notice changes over several weeks, with multiple sessions recommended for optimal results.
What About Cost?
Costs for fat reduction procedures vary based on the size of the treatment area, the number of sessions needed, and your provider’s level of experience. On average, pricing starts around $1,000 per session, though this may vary depending on the complexity of the treatment and materials used. Your cosmetic nurse will provide a tailored quote during your consultation.
