Body Contouring Alexandria

Sometimes no matter what you do, certain areas are just resistant to weight loss. Even when you work hard to lose weight and maintain a healthy lifestyle with diet and exercise, you might be left with stubborn pockets of unwanted fat that stand in the way of your desired body shape. But you still have options to get the body of your dreams. When it comes to body contouring Alexandria residents turn to LightRx. 

You might be hesitant about more invasive options, but body contouring is a great alternative. If you’re thinking about getting a medspa treatment, there is a lot to consider before deciding if a treatment is for you. Before you make an appointment, we want to help you learn all the important things to know about body contouring and how it works. 

What is Body Contouring?

Body contouring is a non-invasive treatment that uses cutting-edge technology to reduce excess fat and tighten loose skin on areas like the thighs, stomach, and arms. These areas are often difficult to fully tone with just diet and exercise alone, but with body contouring they are left slim and smooth. Through the two-step process of laser lipo and skin tightening, body contouring helps you achieve amazing results of a more toned and sculpted appearance. 

How Body Contouring Works

We prioritize our clients’ individual needs, so body contouring treatments can be tailored to each individual based on your concerns and the method you choose for treatment. Body sculpting is most often done with laser lipo and skin tightening. 

Laser Lipo

The mechanism behind laser lipo is a microscopic laser measuring only 1064 nanometers in length. It heats up the layers under the skin and destroys the fat cells contained within. The heat created by the lasers triggers the cells to release their fatty acids, leaving them permanently destroyed. 

Since the fat cells are completely destroyed rather than just reduced in size, areas treated with laser lipo generally do not have a reappearance of unwanted fat. Because of this, laser lipo is a good treatment option for problem areas with stubborn fat pockets. Many clients will opt to begin their treatment with laser lipo and add skin tightening when they’ve achieved their desired fat reduction. 

Skin Tightening

Another option to create a smoother body shape is skin tightening. During this treatment, fat cells are reduced and collagen production is stimulated by a device that uses radiofrequency energy to heat the skin. Because there is less subcutaneous fat and more collagen, your skin will be firmer, tighter, and smoother and show less visible wrinkling.
