Body Sculpting Before Swimsuit Season: What You Need to Know

It’s still winter, but summer will be here before you know it. Even if you’ve consistently invested your resources into losing extra pounds and you’ve achieved your ideal weight, stubborn areas of fat may not respond to your efforts, and you might not be quite ready for swimsuit season. 

If you just can’t seem to eliminate unwanted pockets of fat or tone areas of muscle no matter what you try, our team at Best Impression Med Spa in Blue Bell, Pennsylvania, led by Robert Mirabile, MD, and Vivian Hsu, MD, is here to help. We offer a variety of body sculpting options to complement your weight loss efforts and help you finally achieve your goals. 

Here’s how body sculpting can give you the toned body of your dreams just in time for swimsuit season. 

How does body sculpting help?

What if your weight loss efforts are successful, but there are pockets of fat left behind? Or sagging skin? Or what if you can’t tone certain muscle groups no matter how much strength training you do? That’s what body sculpting is for. 

Our noninvasive and minimally invasive body sculpting procedures can eliminate stubborn fat, build muscle, and even smooth your skin. These cosmetic services aren’t weight loss tools, but they can highlight the strides you’ve already made to lose weight and tone your physique. 

What are the different types of body sculpting?

Depending on what your concerns and goals are, our team can recommend a body sculpting procedure for you. Here’s what you need to know.

CoolSculpting Elite®

CoolSculpting Elite is a cosmetic procedure that utilizes a method known as cryoliposis, which eliminates fat cells with very cold temperatures.

Using the applicator on a targeted area, cold pulses through the skin to damage the fat cells beneath. In response, your body triggers an inflammatory response that kills the fat cells and then, over the following weeks, removes the debris. 

The whole procedure takes about one hour. While you may need a few sessions for optimal results, you should start to notice visibly reduced fat within a few weeks. 

CoolTone®

While CoolSculpting Elite focuses on eliminating fat, CoolTone takes it to the next level by building toned muscle. 

This procedure uses a type of magnetic muscle stimulation known as Active Magnetic Pulse™(AMP) technology, which causes your body to perform stronger muscle contractions than you could ever do on your own. This forces your body to adapt by breaking down tissue and rebuilding new and stronger muscle. 

Each session takes about 30 minutes. For best results, you should undergo 4-8 treatments over the course of a few weeks.

InMode body treatments 

Body treatments from InMode offer additional options that work to tighten and smooth your body, revealing a more toned look.

BodyTite is radiofrequency assisted lipolysis, a much less invasive fat reducer than surgical liposuction, and it has the added benefit of tightening skin in the treatment area. Depending on the area(s) treated, you may face some downtime, typically a few days.

Morpheus8 stimulates collagen production in deeper skin layers. This fractional radiofrequency treatment reveals beautifully smoother skin — boosting your confidence in your favorite swimsuit. We can use it on all skin types, and while you may experience sensitivity and minor swelling in the treatment area, these side effects fade after a few days.
