        What is Body Contouring?

        Are you looking to change the shape of your body in certain areas where stubborn pockets of fat may exist? Body contouring, also known as body sculpting, can help you achieve this. With body contouring, you can change the circumference of your waist and thighs or give yourself a more toned silhouette.

        How Does Body Sculpting Work?

        Your body sculpting treatment will target stubborn pockets of fat in specific areas of your body using ultrasound or radiofrequency technology, depending on your chosen treatment method. This non-invasive method will tone your stomach, thighs, arms, and other areas. 

        Are You a Candidate for Body Contouring?

        Consider a body contouring treatment if you have stubborn pockets of excess fat that won't go away with regular diet and exercise. Generally, you can go ahead with your body contouring goals if:

        • You are at a stable weight that you can maintain.
        • You do not have medical conditions that could impair healing.
        • You are not a smoker.
        • You have realistic goals.

        What is the cost of Body Contouring Treatment?

        For an accurate estimation of your body contouring treatment cost, we recommend booking an appointment with the Skin Matters team. During the consultation, we will discuss your desired outcomes and the extent of your concerns. We will then create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific body type.

        Body Contouring FAQs
