Myths Vs. Facts: Everything You Should Know About Non-Surgical Body Contouring

Still figuring out what non-surgical body contouring can deliver? This read can make you clear and confident about non-surgical body contouring in Gurgaon. If seeking a well-sculpted physique without going under the knife, at Citrine Clinic, Dr. Niti Gaur can help you clear the common misconceptions about non-surgical body contouring procedures.

Here are some facts for non-surgical body contouring, and then make a well-informed decision.

Myth 1: Non-surgical Body Contouring Helps One Lose Weight Significantly.

Fact: Procedures like CoolSculpting and Exilis Elite can help reshape specific body areas like the abdomen, thighs, arms, and chin by reducing the localised, stubborn fat pockets. But they do not aim for significant weight loss and so cannot be considered as a replacement for weight-loss programs/medical obesity treatments.

Myth 2: A Single Session of a Non-Surgical Body Contouring Procedure Can Provide Instant Improvement.

Fact: In a single treatment, a large area of stubborn fat or excessive fat deposits will not be reduced significantly. The majority of non-surgical body contouring procedures have to be performed repeatedly. The desired level of fat reduction will be achieved gradually over 4-12 weeks after the last session, as the body’s immune system naturally eliminates the fat cells. The results are natural-looking.

Myth 3: Non-surgical body Contouring is Less Effective than Liposuction Surgery.

Fact: Though liposuction surgery can help get rid of all unwanted fat at once, non-surgical body contouring procedures work for people seeking targeted, mild to moderate fat reduction (around 20-30%), a better body shape without the risks and complications of the surgery.

Myth 4: Non-surgical body Contouring Procedures are Extremely Painful.

Fact: Exilis Elite, CoolSculpting, and EmSculpt all procedures require no anaesthesia. During the sessions, the patients report only mild pressure, temporary tingling or numbness, and cooling/warming sensations.

Myth 5: The Eliminated Fat Cells Will Return Following Treatment.

Fact: Procedures like CoolSculpting can help eliminate the extra adipocytes (fat cells) from the targeted area. If one does not follow a healthy routine, the remaining fat cells can enlarge due to weight gain. But the eliminated fat cells will never return.

Myth 6: Every Non-Surgical Body Contouring Procedure Has the Same Working Mechanism.

Fact: Each non-surgical body contouring machine works differently. A CoolSculpting machine works by providing controlled, targeted freezing of the fat cells beneath the skin. An EmSculpt machine uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy to induce supramaximal muscular contractions. It helps in building muscles and causes lipolysis. An Exilis Elite machine makes use of radiofrequency and ultrasound energy to cause lipolysis of stubborn subcutaneous fat.

The best non-surgical body contouring in Gurgaon can be decided by experts at Citrine Clinic based on the individual’s skin type, amount/quality of fat, and aesthetic goals.

Myth 7: Non-Surgical Body Contouring Can Benefit Every Seeker.

Fact: Non-surgical body contouring procedures only benefit people with localised, mild to moderate, stubborn fat pockets, healthy lifestyle habits, and good skin elasticity. The individual must reach a stable, healthy weight, close to ideal, to receive the desired effects of the body contouring procedure for the long term. For Exilis Elite, individuals with electrical and medical implants and certain medical conditions are not suitable candidates.

Myth 8: Non-Surgical Body Contouring Can Completely Tighten Loose Skin.

Fact: Exilis Elite helps improve skin firmness by stimulating collagen growth with heating of the dermis. However, CoolSculpting will not be effective for the laxity of saggy skin, surgical lift is a good choice for it.

Myth 9: Non-surgical body Contouring Procedures Allow One to Immediately Resume Work.

Fact: All non-surgical body contouring procedures are associated with minimal downtime. Mild, short-lived side effects can occur, like redness, numbness, swelling, and tenderness. The aftermath of the procedures would rarely interfere with daily activities.

Myth 10: Results of Non-Surgical Body Contouring Can Last for a Long Time.

Fact: The technological advancements in non-surgical body contouring procedures have made them very effective. They can provide durable improvements in body shape without incisions, scarring, and anaesthesia. Though the effects of collagen remodelling and destruction of unwanted fat cells are permanent, touch-up sessions along with consistent skincare and healthy lifestyle habits will be required to preserve the optimal improvements in body contours.

Non-surgical body contouring is a safe, effective, and most popular option for improving body shape for the long term without surgical incisions, sutures, and lengthy downtime. By learning the main facts of non-surgical body contouring, those seeking it can set realistic expectations and make the right choice of the procedure, catered to their body image goals.
