Body Contouring
What is Body Contouring?
Body contouring is a treatment that reshapes your body to create a more contoured and slimmer appearance.
Radiofrequency is a form of body contouring and has been used in the last three years for body contouring. It works by heating the surface of the body to tighten any loose skin instantly, and it also targets fatty tissue to help with the break down of fatty deposits. This makes it a perfect option for men and women with loose skin after weight loss, those who suffer from cellulite, or those who need a confidence boost. The treatment can be used to target cellulite on the arms, abdomen, buttocks, and thighs.
Body Contouring procedures may include:
- Breast lifts, for sagging or flattened breasts
- Face lifts for sagging of the neck
- Mid-face, and neck
- Tummy tucks, to reduce excess skin which hangs over the abdomen
- Lower body lifts to help with sagging of the buttocks, abdomen, inner and outer thighs
- Arm lifts for sagging of the upper arm skin
FAQ's
Is The Treatment Safe?
The treatment is completely safe for patients. It’s had full MHRA and FDA approval alongside rigorous testing. Thanks to the unique cooling system of the Accent XL Radio frequency system, the patient does not feel affected by the heating treatment. Most patients don’t experience any form of discomfort so there is no need for any form of anaesthesia. To help ensure therapeutic results, skin temperature is also measured throughout the procedure.
How Effective Is The Treatment?
The full effects of the body contouring treatment will not be visible for up to two to three months. However, the treatment will cause instant changes due to contraction of the collagen fibres. A high percentage of patients notice an instant improvement in their contours.
How Long Will The Results Last?
The results of body contouring can last up to 16 months to 2 years. Whilst one or two treatments can produce great results, it’s important that you undertake follow-up procedures to maintain your body’s youthful appearance and your newfound confidence.
