What is Body Contouring

Body contouring is a new field of aesthetic medicine designed to tone, sculpt and refine the body. Using a range of high-tech technologies including ultrasound therapy, radiofrequency and fat freezing and heating, body contouring helps patients to reduce fat bulges, tone up muscle mass and improve muscle definition across a range of diverse body areas.

Traditionally, the only way to get a contoured and toned physique using cosmetic treatments was with surgical procedures like liposuction. However, non-invasive body contouring treatments like CoolSculpting and EMSculpt have emerged to deliver the same fat and sculpting benefits. The main difference is that these do not require the use of any scalpels, anaesthesia, incisions or downtime. Instead, body contouring technologies rely on clinically proven processes like cryolipolysis or electromagnetic energy to break down fat stores, tone up muscles and lift and tighten flabby skin. As a result, body contouring treatments will be valued at over $1.1 billion industry by 2022.

How to contour your body

When individuals indulge in the makeup contouring trend, they add greater and structure to their faces using contouring powders and creams to highlight features like the cheekbones, noses and jawline. While body contouring involves no use of makeup products, it does also serve to improve the appearance of key body areas by adding greater definition to them.
