About Non-Surgical Body Sculpting
Non-surgical body sculpting consists of a collection of different treatments that can each accentuate the natural contours and curves of your figure. Each of these treatments utilizes different technologies, including laser energy, injections, radiofrequency energy, and more, to help you achieve a figure you can feel proud of.
Benefits
Non-surgical body sculpting offers several benefits, such as:
- Minimally Invasive Techniques: Each non-surgical body contouring treatment does not require general anesthesia or lengthy incisions.
- Little to No Downtime: Many of our patients can return to their routines shortly after treatment, as non-surgical body contouring procedures are often minimally invasive and more gentle than surgical methods.
- Customized Solutions: Our team of specialists designs each treatment plan around your specific goals and unique anatomy.
- Lasting Results: The results of non-surgical body contouring can last for several months to years, especially when you maintain a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle.
- Wide Application: We offer treatments that can address various features and regions of the body, including the face, neck, buttocks, arms, legs, abdomen, and more.
Candidates
You may be a suitable candidate for non-surgical body sculpting if you have noticed mild to moderate loose skin or excess fat in certain areas and wish to address them without incisions, general anesthesia, or a lengthy recovery process.
To qualify for your desired treatment, you should be in good general health and hold realistic expectations regarding your outcomes. You should also be at or near a stable and maintainable weight. Your specialist will assess your candidacy for each body sculpting treatment during your consultation. Please understand that depending on your case and circumstances, you may qualify for one treatment, but not another.
Personal Consultation
During your personal consultation, your specialist will meet with you to explain what non-surgical body contouring is, determine your candidacy, and create your treatment plan. Your specialist will ask you about your medical history, personal concerns, and ideal results. They will also assess your pre-existing anatomy and your skin’s condition and quality.
With this information, they will determine which of our treatments will be the most effective for your concerns. They will tailor each aspect of your treatment and explain each step, ensuring you have a full understanding.

How Should I Prepare?
Once your specialist has established your treatment plan, they will give you a set of written instructions to help you prepare, which may include:
- Stopping Certain Medications: Unless medically necessary, cease the use of any blood-thinning medications or supplements.
- Avoiding the Sun: Refrain from excessive sun exposure before your appointment, and wear sunscreen and proper sun protection.
- Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water and keep your skin moisturized.
- Refrain from Substance Use: Discontinue consuming any alcohol or nicotine in the weeks leading up to your procedure, and prepare to maintain your abstinence.
- Arrive Prepared: Arrive with clean skin without makeup, skin products, or facial jewelry.
Available Treatments
We offer several different treatments that can each address varying concerns across different regions of the body. During your consultation, your specialist will help you determine which will be the most effective for your goals.
Accutite®, Facetite®, and BodyTite®
AccuTite, FaceTite, and BodyTite use radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL) technology to target fat and loose skin around the face and body and stimulate collagen production. (1) AccuTite is ideal for treating delicate or hard-to-reach areas of the face. FaceTite is effective at facial recontouring and addressing visible signs of aging. Lastly, BodyTite can address larger regions of the body. These treatments place a probe beneath the skin to emit laser energy, creating tighter, smoother skin.
Evolve X
Evolve X is a body sculpting and skin rejuvenation treatment that uses a combination of bipolar radiofrequency (RF) energy and electrical muscle stimulation to achieve its results. (2) This treatment heats the surface of the skin to stimulate the production of new collagen and elastin, two proteins that maintain the elasticity, firmness, and overall appearance of the skin. Simultaneously, this treatment will trigger involuntary muscle contractions to target specific muscle groups.
Kybella®
Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that can reduce submental fat, or fat beneath the chin. Kybella contains deoxycholic acid, a substance that naturally occurs within our bodies. (3) When Kybella enters the body, it activates a process called focal adipolysis. Focal adipolysis targets and eliminates specific fat cells while leaving the surrounding tissues undamaged. Your body’s lymphatic system then clears the waste, leaving the area smoother and slimmer.
Non-Surgical BBL
A non-surgical BBL uses dermal fillers to elevate the shape, symmetry, and fullness of the buttocks. At True You, we use Radiesse (Radiesse®) to perform this treatment, which is a calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) dermal filler. This material can help stimulate the production of new collagen and elastin fibers in the target area. (4)
Sculpsure®
Sculpsure (5) can facilitate fat deposit removal by damaging them with diode laser energy. This treatment uses applicators that heat the underlying layers of fat while leaving the skin unharmed. Your body’s lymphatic system will then naturally clear the damaged cells, leaving you looking more defined and toned.
The Recovery Process
Recovering from non-surgical body sculpting is fairly straightforward. Most patients will experience some redness or bruising around the treated areas, which will subside on their own shortly after. Your skin specialist will provide you with a set of instructions for your specific treatment. By following each instruction, you can optimize your results and your recovery.
Results
You may notice immediate improvements after your non-surgical body sculpting treatment, but it can take several weeks to months before your full results develop. You can expect to enjoy smoother and tighter skin, reduced fat, accentuated contours, improvements in your figure’s definition, and elevated proportions. If you receive a collagen-stimulating treatment, you may also notice improvements in your skin’s firmness, elasticity, and appearance.
