Non-surgical body contouring uses technologies such as cryolipolysis (controlled cooling), radiofrequency and ultrasound to reduce stubborn fat pockets and improve skin firmness. Unlike weight loss, it targets specific areas that resist diet and exercise.
It is designed for people close to their goal weight who want to refine their shape, not as a substitute for weight loss.
