Is Body Contouring Safe?

Body contouring can be a safe and non-invasive way remove excess fat from even the most stubborn areas of the body. However, not all forms of body contouring are the same and some, are invasive and can cause bodily damage. At Genesis Health Solutions, we use Contour Light which is a new light-based procedure designed to be a non-invasive way to dissolve fat cells and cellulite that is particularly resistant to exercise.

How Safe Is Body Contouring?

When people wonder if body contouring is safe, they should consider that many alternative fat-reduction and removal surgeries are quite invasive and expensive. Even routine procedures can interrupt your life because of the required healing. This doesn't occur with body contouring. Because body sculpting is so convenient and effective, patients seek it out as an alternative to surgical techniques.

Contour light is an incredibly effective procedure that delivers 100 times more light energy than similar systems designed to dissolve fat cells. It is safe, painless, and has no down time. You can undergo the light treatment and then continue on with the rest of your day with no side effects! It can be used on a multitude of areas on the body including the chin, face, hips, thighs, and stomach. This is particularly helpful as those parts of the body are resistant to fat removal.

The best way to ensure the success of body contouring, no matter which method is used, is to lead a healthy lifestyle so you will not regain fat elsewhere. Body contouring works best for those who are close to their target size because it does not remove large amounts of fat. The treatment can effectively remove between 20% and 25% of the fat in a treated area.

It takes just a few weeks for body contouring to reduce fat cells, and patients do not need any recovery in that period.
