Nonsurgical body sculpting is a procedure used to remove or reduce pockets of stubborn fat. The process is also known as nonsurgical fat reduction. Various nonsurgical body sculpting techniques are available to help you shape and contour your body.

What Is Nonsurgical Body Sculpting?

Nonsurgical body sculpting is not supposed to serve as a weight loss solution. It is ideal for people who have attained their desired weight but wish to get rid of stubborn fat pockets. Usually, this means excess fat that stubbornly resists diet and exercise. To qualify for most body contouring procedures, you must have a body mass index of less than 30.

Several sessions will be required for a nonsurgical body sculpting procedure. Afterwards, you may look shapelier and more toned.

How Does Nonsurgical Body Sculpting Work?

Nonsurgical body sculpting techniques work in one of two ways. Some work by zapping fat cells and ultimately destroying them.

Other methods use heat to reduce fat in the targeted areas. The techniques are safe for use in a number of areas:

upper arms

abdomen

thighs

love handles or excess fat around the hips and abdomen

and in some cases the face and neck.
