What is Body Contouring?
Body contouring is any process or treatment that helps improve your body’s appearance by reducing unwanted fat and tightening skin. There are many different body contouring treatments available, but perhaps the most well-known surgical procedure for body contouring is liposuction.

Lasers

There are many lasers we provide at the Cosmetic Laser Center of Maryland for all kinds of skin enhancements or minimal body contouring. These are often used as complements to surgical procedures or other non-surgical treatments to enhance or expand their results. For most laser procedures there is little downtime, although it depends on how large the treatment area is and how intense your specific treatment plan is.

Coolsculpting Elite

CoolSculpting Elite is one of the best nonsurgical body contouring treatments available today. First of all, it just works. CoolSculpting Elite is a highly effective treatment for reducing fat in problem areas. It has been proven to be 25% more effective than traditional excellent sculpting techniques.

Secondly, it has a proven track record of safety, being the follow-up to the already popular traditional CoolSculpting system. CoolSculpting Elite requires no anesthesia and no incisions are made. This means there is no risk of infection or other complications associated with surgery.

Emsculpt Neo

If you’re seeking a non-surgical way to achieve a more toned and sculpted body, Emsculpt Neo can help in ways beyond simply reducing fat. This cutting-edge body contouring treatment utilizes high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy to target and destroy fat cells while stimulating muscle growth.

Emsculpt Neo is FDA-cleared for treating abdominal and buttock fat and can also be used to tone the arms, thighs, and hips. The results of Emsculpt Neo are typically visible within 2-4 weeks after treatment, with continued improvement over the next few months. Most people need 4-6 sessions to achieve their desired results.
