Non-Invasive Body Contouring: What Can You Expect?

Liposuction or surgical fat removal is not the only way to get the shape you want. Non-invasive body shaping treatments can also do the same without damage to skin, nerves, and muscles. You will need multiple treatments to get significant results, but there are no incisions or anesthesia with minimal to no downtime.

Here at Cutis Laser Clinics in Singapore, we have four body shaping/contouring treatments that can reduce fat and tone your muscles. Read on and learn what these procedures can offer.

ZField ^Dual

What is it: ZField ^Dual is a non-invasive body-shaping device that can turn flabby body areas into toned muscles. It uses electromagnetic pulses to stimulate muscle contractions in your gluteal region or abdominal muscles. The device is made in Germany from Zimmer Aesthetics.

How does it work: The device generates a strong inductive field, enforcing a muscle’s highest possible contraction. When exposed to supramaximal contractions, the muscle tissues are forced to adapt to extreme conditions. This then results in fat burning and muscle building.

What results can you expect: With ZField ^Dual’s muscle building and fat burning capabilities, you can have a more sculpted abdomen, and fuller, firmer and lifted buttocks. This only means that it can sculpt and tone your body without extensive workout. Some of the key benefits of the procedure include:

• Lift your buttocks non-invasively
• Burn fat and build muscles without workouts
• Help you achieve a six-pack without sweat
• Have 30-minute ab treatment equivalent to 20,000 or more sit ups

Z Lipo

What is it: Z Lipo is a fat-freezing device made in Germany from Zimmer Aesthetics. It targets fat deposits using Cryolipolysis or controlled cooling temperatures. Cryolipolysis by Z Lipo cools fat deposits for a period of time, which then results in the destruction of fat cells. 

How does it work: The procedure works by using a handpiece that suction in the fat bulges in the belly, thighs, and arms. It has two handpieces that can both be used in one session. This enables two areas to be treated at the same time, reducing overall treatment time.

What results can you expect: Following the fat reduction procedure, the crystallized fat cells are naturally metabolized by the body via the lymphatic system over a period of 10 to 12 weeks. Z Lipo can be combined with Z Wave treatment, a shockwave therapy that uses vibrations further break up the frozen fat cells. This offers rapid fat reduction results.

CoolSculpting

What is it: CoolSculpting is an FDA-approved device that also uses Cryolipolysis to target fat cells. It delivers controlled-cooling technology to kill fat cells in the chin, arms, belly, and thighs. Frozen fat cells are gone forever and will never come back. 

How does it work: The procedure draws the fat tissue using an applicator that is placed above the treated area. The next step is the cooling of fat cells to freezing temperatures to the point of natural elimination. The frozen fat cells will then be naturally expelled in the body. This then results in fat reduction and slimmer physique.

What results can you expect: Some may see results as early as three weeks after the first treatment. However, dramatic results can be seen within 60 to 90 days or once your body metabolized the dead fat cells. Maintaining a healthy diet and exercise routine can help you achieve long-term stable results. 

Vanquish

What is it: Vanquish is a US FDA-cleared device that uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to melt and target fat cells. It can be used on your arms, waistline, thighs, and flanks. Vanquish can also reduce the circumference of your entire abdominal area with an unmatched: level of comfort and safety.

How does it work: The procedure works by delivering controlled RF energy that solely heats  and melts fat cells. This triggers “apoptosis” (natural cell death), causing the fat cells to die naturally over time. The treated fat cells will then be processed as waste in the liver and cleared naturally through the lymphatic system.

One thing that separates it from other devices is that it is contactless; it can shape and contour the body without touching your skin. The Vanquish device hovers the area of concern using a panel area of heat. The treatment is also safe for all skin colors and doesn’t require any BMI (body mass index).

What results can you expect: According to clinical studies, Vanquish can remove up to 59 percent of excess abdominal fat after diet and exercise had failed.  However, the results vary from patient to patient. Some may see changes between four and six weeks, but optimal results are visible after four to eight weekly sessions.
