Body Contouring (Fat Reduction, Skin Tightening & Sculpting)

WHAT IS BODY CONTOURING?

Body Contouring refers to a set of non-surgical procedures aimed at reducing fat pockets, tightening loose skin, and reshaping body areas for a slimmer, toned appearance. At Elevated Image Clinic, a mix of modalities — including fat-melting lasers (Endolift/Endolaser), infrared devices (Cutera Titan), HIFU, or fat-dissolving injections (e.g. Kybella) — are used depending on the patient’s needs and treatment plan.

HOW BODY CONTOURING WORKS

Assessment & Modality Selection

A medical consultation determines which technology — laser, infrared, HIFU, or injections — best suits the patient’s fat distribution, skin laxity, and goals.

Fat Liquefaction or Reduction

Laser or infrared energy gently heats fat cells, causing their walls to break down. The body then naturally processes and removes the fat over subsequent weeks.

Skin Tightening & Remodeling

The same energy also stimulates collagen and elastin in the overlying skin, improving firmness, smoothness, and contour definition.

Integrated Sculpting & Contouring

By combining fat reduction and skin tightening, the treatment provides sculpted body outlines — often in areas resistant to diet or exercise (abdomen, arms, flanks, thighs).

Dr. Le is super knowledgeable and talented. It makes a huge difference to have a physician with ample dermatology, anatomy and surgery knowledge, perform a procedure like this one. Why would anybody have an aesthetician do this or any cosmetic procedure if you can have an experienced medical professional? I’ve done lasers before, but this was by far the best. My skin looks amazing.

I had a positive experience and highly recommend Dr. Le. I found him to be quite professional and a pleasant man. Upon arriving, I was put under a local anesthetic … I have circled it in my “after” photo. As you can see, I had no swelling, minimal bruising and no real discomfort to speak of. I did not require anything for pain.

Kennin was amazing! She really takes pride in her work. The entire staff was very friendly. A great clinic. Go!!!

Dr Le is very knowledgeable. He gave me the advice I need to achieve the goals I want. I look forward to coming back. The nurse was very sweet!

Is body contouring suitable for significant weight loss?

No — it’s best for localized fat pockets and mild-to-moderate skin laxity. It is not designed for major weight loss.

Are the results permanent?

Fat reduction is long-lasting, but maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle is essential. Skin tightening results may need periodic maintenance.

Who should avoid body contouring?

Not suitable for pregnant women, patients with uncontrolled medical issues, or those needing large-volume fat removal (should consider surgical liposuction).
