Best Body Sculpting Treatments near me in Touraine, Ottawa

Body-sculpting is an umbrella term for a range of non-invasive body contouring treatments that can destroy fat cells without using surgery. Techniques include freezing fat cells, ultrasound, and heating. Body sculpting can help to reshape your stomach, thighs, buttocks, and other areas of your body by breaking down fat cells so they can be removed by your lymphatic system. It’s likely to take several treatments over a course of a few months to see the effects.

The three main types of body sculpting techniques are: Freezing (cryolipolysis) – uses a suction vacuum to blast-freeze fat cells so that they crystallise and can be expelled from the body. Ultrasound – employs a handheld device that emits vibrating ultrasound waves to destroy fat cells. Heating – using either lasers or radiofrequency. Both precisely target and destroy unwanted fat cells.

The larger the area you have treated, the longer it will take for your body to recover. However, you should expect the recovery process to take between 3-21 days. Ask your body sculpting technician how long your recovery time is likely to take before you book your treatment.

Yes. The most common side effects are bruising, stinging, and aches around the treated area. However, more serious side effects could occur; freezing, for example, has been known to trigger paradoxical adipose hyperplasia (fat cells grow instead of shrink). Ask your technician to talk you through the potential risks and side effects before you book your appointment.

You can expect to pay around $135 for a body sculpting treatment.

Body sculpting isn’t regulated in some countries, so take care to find a practitioner who is properly qualified and experienced in the techniques and equipment they use. It’s a good idea to look at their reviews online and on their social feeds, too.
