The Benefits of Non-Surgical Body Sculpting
When you put in the effort to eat healthily and exercise but those stubborn areas still won't respond, it can be discouraging. Body contouring, also known as non-surgical body shaping, is a non-surgical procedure used to eliminate or reduce body fat that doesn't seem to respond to exercise and dieting.
Why consider non-surgical body sculpting?
Non-surgical body sculpting aims to redefine your body’s shape and smooth your skin. Here at Potentia Medspa, we believe you don't need to have surgery or undergo extreme dieting to reach your goals. We’ve brought on PHYSIQ, a non-invasive energy-based solution that you can target in most areas of the body.
How does PHYSIQ work to remove fat?
PHYSIQ doesn’t just remove fat; it also improves muscle tone. It targets adipose (fat) tissue and muscle with its unique STEP technology. The deep heat phase from PHYSIQ’s super luminescent diode matrix (SDM) targets adipose tissue, while electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) creates muscle contractions to re-educate the muscle in the targeted area.
Will this help with cellulite?
If you think about what cellulite is, it is an uneven dispersion of the fat within your adipose tissue. This is what creates the dimpling and ridged look. Lymphatic cupping massage can be great for alleviating pain, but contouring with PHYSIQ takes it to the next level. In all of our before and after pictures, you’ll notice a smoothness and change in texture of the skin. This is due to fat loss and, therefore, cellulite reduction.
If you just exercise, wouldn’t it melt fat away anyway?
True, you will build muscle and burn fat with exercise, and of course we encourage you to do so. However, there are some areas that, no matter how hard you try, it just won't shift.
Our clinic encourages healthy weight loss using a combination of exercise, hormone balancing, and diet changes to help you lose weight, but getting rid of stubborn fat might be more challenging. This is where PHYSIQ body contouring treatments can help.
With PHYSIQ, you can customize and target specific body parts or your top concerns.
Is there any body type this is not recommended for?
Believe it or not, some contour devices are only designed if you are small-framed or have a BMI less than 27. Many women and men are above average, bordering on obese, and would be disqualified from using most contouring devices. Because PHYSIQ is designed to destroy adipose tissue, it doesn't matter your BMI; it may take more sessions, but it can get the job done.
Pigmented skin types (Asian, Latina, and African-American) can also use the device without fear or risk of hyperpigmentation, burning, or adverse effects on their skin tone.
The benefits of non-surgical body sculpting
Less chance of risk than surgery
Traditional surgical methods to remove fat, like liposuction, have inherent dangers. At the end of the day, surgery stresses the body and can cause complications afterwards, such as hernias, infections, reactions to the anesthesia, etc… PHYSIQ targets fat cells without any of these risks and no adverse effects.
Easier recovery process
PHYSIQ body contouring has a significantly easier recovery time, allowing you to carry on with your regular activities immediately after. Most clients are relaxing, listening to music, on the phone, or, in my case, creating Instagram videos while having a session!
Quick and easy appointment
Our treatments typically last 30 minutes. The area you're targeting will determine how long your session is, but it will undoubtedly take less time than most body-sculpting devices.
Lower hidden costs
In the long run, some feel body contouring is more expensive. Think about it; if you did get liposuction, it's one and done. However, there are hidden costs: the cost of the downtime, the cost of possible risks, and most importantly, the cost of picking one area to treat.
What if both your abdomen and love handles need to be treated? And in the world of liposuction, this is considered two areas and likely carries a price tag of over $15,000.
With PHYSIQ, you can treat multiple areas that bother you without this hefty price tag.
Address multiple problem areas
The ability to address many problem areas at once—including sensitive places like your inner arms—is a huge benefit.
The procedure uses four applicators that can target different body parts, such as the back of the arms, inner thighs, and buttocks, in one session.
Which means each session can be fully customized for you.
Belly and lower abdomen
Flanks (muffin tops or love handles)
Lower Back
Butt and saddle bags
Inner and back of arms
Inner and outer thighs
