Myths about Non-Surgical Body Contouring

Myth #1: This is not As Effective as Surgical Alternatives

While many believe non-surgical options aren’t as effective as surgical ones, we’re happy to dispel this myth. Non-surgical body contouring is an area of aesthetics that’s expanding exponentially. It’s important to remember that the results won’t be visible immediately and might require a few sessions. Once you manage your expectations in this regard, this treatment can be highly effective and extremely safe compared to surgical options.

Myth #2: Body Contouring Prevents Weight Gain

Although body contouring offers promising results, it cannot prevent you from gaining weight. The longevity of results differs from person to person. The treatments will work only on the targeted area, which means the remaining fat cells can expand when you gain weight. If you want to retain results, we recommend following a healthy exercise and diet regimen.

MYTH #3: Body Contouring Is Expensive

People often think that body contouring is expensive and that only celebrities can afford it. However, we’re glad to dispel this myth. The cost of this procedure depends on the type of treatment chosen and the results you’re looking to achieve.

 Myth #4: Body Contouring Is Painful

Although surgical options may be painful, non-surgical body contouring treatments feature slight pain or discomfort. Ultra shape is a highly effective yet pain-free treatment that reduces unwanted fat while toning and sculpting the body.

Myth #5: Non-Surgical Body Contouring Can Eradicate Cellulite

Cellulite begins to appear when stubborn fat below your skin presses against the connective tissues. Although body contouring can help remove excess fat, it cannot eradicate all cellulite. You will surely notice improved results, but the possibility of complement removal won’t work with non-surgical body contouring.

MYTH #6: Non-Surgical Body Contouring Only Works for the Abdomen Area

This is another myth we’re glad to debunk! Body contouring can work on several body areas, including your arms, back, neck, chin, belly, tights, and even ankles.
