What is Body Contouring?
Body contouring procedures enhance your natural body shape by eliminating excess fat, smoothing out cellulite or toning the muscles to reveal a fit, sculpted figure. Sometimes diet and exercise aren’t enough to help you reach your weight loss goals, but body contouring can help you shed those last few pounds or tighten up problems areas to put the finishing touches on your fitness or weight loss regimen.
At The Appearance Care Center™, we know how frustrating it is when a healthy diet and regular exercise don’t produce the results you want. That’s why we offer a number of non-invasive body contouring procedures to help you reach your goals, without the inconvenience or downtime of surgery. Our team is led by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Corey S. Maas, one of San Francisco’s leading body sculpting experts, so you can be sure to enjoy quality results that complement and enhance your natural contours.
Is Body Contouring Right for Me?
Body contouring procedures are useful for eliminating stubborn fat, increasing muscle definition and reducing cellulite when diet and exercise aren’t enough. Body contouring is not a shortcut meant for weight loss, however, and ideal candidates should be at or near their fitness goals for optimal results. If you have unwanted fat that is resistant to diet or exercise, or you want to reveal a more sculpted physique, then the body contouring procedures at The Appearance Care Center™ can help you optimize your weight loss efforts.
The ideal candidate for body sculpting is someone who:
- Is at or near a healthy BMI
- Wants to avoid invasive surgery
- Has specific body contouring goals
- Can maintain their results with a healthy, active lifestyle
The body contouring experts at The Appearance Care Center™ can help determine if body contouring is right for you during an in-person consultation. Dr. Maas and his team will evaluate your goals and areas of concern to recommend the best procedure, or combination of procedures, for achieving your desired results.
Body Contouring Procedures
Cellfina
Cellfina is a breakthrough device that has become a top choice for the minimally-invasive treatment of cellulite. It works by addressing the underlying cause of cellulite and has been clinically proven to reduce unwanted dimples on the thighs and buttocks for up to three years. Compared to other devices, Cellfina delivers more consistent and uniform results that last.
- Targets the root cause of cellulite
- Eliminates unwanted dimples or bulges
- Minimally invasive treatment uses subcision
- Long-lasting results
CoolSculpting®
CoolSculpting® is a proven body contouring procedure that uses advanced cooling technology to eliminate unwanted fat. This non-invasive treatment freezes targeted fat cells in a process known as cryolipolysis. As fat cells freeze, they are broken down and naturally expelled by the body, leaving behind smoother, leaner contours in treated areas. CoolSculpting® can be used nearly anywhere on the body and has become the leading non-surgical alternative to liposuction. You may need a series of four treatments to reach your goals, but the results will be permanent if you maintain an active, healthy lifestyle.
- Non-invasive with no downtime or recovery
- Versatile treatment targets stubborn fat deposits
- Permanently eliminates treated fat cells
- Can optimize your weight loss goals
CoolTone®
CoolTone® is a non-invasive body sculpting procedure that uses Active Magnetic Pulse™ (AMP™) technology to strengthen and tone the muscles. It delivers strong pulses of energy deep into the muscle fibers of treated areas, triggering powerful contractions that improve muscle tone and definition. Although CoolTone® isn’t used for fat removal, it can help you elevate your fitness and achieve the firm, sculpted body you’ve always wanted.
- FDA-cleared for the abdomen, thighs and buttocks
- Improve muscle definition in common problem areas
- Up to 50 percent more magnetic intensity than leading competitors
- Results surpass even the most rigorous workout routines
UltraShape
UltraShape is a non-invasive fat destruction procedure that uses ultrasound energy to target unwanted fat and reduce abdominal circumference. The technology uses pulsed ultrasound, which provides more control over temperature elevation to contour your body without discomfort or downtime. As treated fat cells rupture and die, they are eliminated through natural metabolic processes. Much like with CoolSculpting, the results are permanent with a healthy diet and lifestyle.
