Other Non-invasive Body Contouring Options
Emsculpt is not the only non-invasive body contouring treatment available. Several other options can help you achieve your desired results.
CoolSculpting
CoolSculpting is a non-invasive fat reduction treatment that uses controlled cooling to freeze and eliminate fat cells. It is FDA-cleared to treat visible fat bulges in the submental area, thigh, abdomen, and flank. CoolSculpting is a safe and effective treatment for many people. It is important to note that CoolSculpting is not a weight-loss treatment. It is designed to reduce stubborn pockets of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise.
How does CoolSculpting work?
CoolSculpting works by freezing and killing fat cells. Once the fat cells are destroyed, the body naturally eliminates them over time. This results in a gradual reduction in the appearance of fat bulges. Most people see noticeable results within a few weeks of treatment. The full effects of CoolSculpting are typically seen after about three months.
Kybella
Kybella is an injectable treatment that is used to reduce the appearance of a double chin. It contains a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that helps to break down and absorb fat. Kybella is FDA-cleared to treat moderate to severe fat below the chin. It is a safe and effective treatment for many people. It is important to note that Kybella is not a weight-loss treatment. It is designed to reduce the appearance of a double chin.
