Diet and exercise are probably the best way to slim down and tone for beach season, but what do you do when nothing is working?

Fat-dissolving and skin-tightening procedures for body contouring that are less invasive can seem appealing when weighed against other options.

The fastest growing trend in medical aesthetics is body contouring (also known as body sculpting).

Body contouring is any procedure that alters the shape of different areas of the body.

Our treatments use nonsurgical, FDA-approved technologies to dissolve or melt fat, improve cellulite, and tighten and tone skin.

We offer a wide variety of body sculpting services, including treatments to tighten skin, reduce cellulite, and replace lost volume.

Aging changes the skin’s appearance and structure, leading to thinner skin, drier skin, less elasticity, an increase in wrinkles or sagging, and reduced production of collagen and elastin.

As the skin ages, the middle layer of skin thins due to collagen loss, reducing the skin’s ability to retain elasticity and moisture.

A youthful appearance depends on having the right amount of facial fat tissue in the proper places.

Using noninvasive body shaping and contouring treatments after massive weight loss is not as effective as a surgical procedure, as it is more difficult to retract heavy and loose skin.

Body sculpting is most effective on individuals who have a body mass index (BMI) of 25 or less. Lasers and/or laser-assisted liposuction can be utilized as a debulking treatment if your BMI is higher, but a client will not realistically see a dramatic change. Fat sheds differently from person to person.

Diet and exercise is the best way to lose the fat and help regain your shape, but there are times when the body needs a little help or tweaking.

The world of cosmetic medicine is rapidly evolving with a dizzying array of options for body contouring treatments.

Body contouring refers to minimally invasive options for fat reduction that involved technology that uses heat or cooling to reduce fat cells.

It’s more important than ever for patients to educate themselves and assess the pros and cons of each treatment, which is why, at Berman Cosmetic Surgery, we are passionate about educating our patients and anyone considering any type of body shaping treatment.
