Body Contouring in Massachuttes

Body contouring is a cosmetic procedure that alters the shape of your body. The goal is to eliminate excess fat from targeted areas of the body like arms, thighs, abdomen and love handles.

Who is a candidate for body contouring?

Anyone who wants a better body shape and wants to reduce body fat in a targeted "problem" area may opt for body contouring. Body contouring with ultrasound technology helps people re- shape their abdomen, thighs, arms - virtually any area- by eliminating excessive fat. This is an excellent option for people struggling with stubborn pockets of fat which are impossible to lose with exercise or dieting.

What is the best treatment for body contouring?

The most common methods for body contouring include liposuction and fat freezing techniques. However the experts at Cosmetic Laser Solutions MedSpa recommend UltraShape Power. A laser fat removal technique which is painless and non-invasive. UltraShape Power helps you get long lasting results by eliminating fat cell in the outer layer or subcutaneous layer of fat -which happens to be the most difficult to lose by exercising and diet. This treatment is more effective than dieting as it destroys fat cells - dieting purges fat from a cell, but the cell remains intact.

UltraShape Power is capable of ridding the body of up to thirty two percent of fat – which is the highest for any non – surgical procedure. What’s more, there is almost no downtime for the patient!

How does UltraShape Power treatment work?

For body contouring, UltraShape Power uses ultrasound technology which ruptures the fat cells in your body. Once the contents of the broken down cell are removed, you can see a reduction in body fat volume and enjoy an improved body shape. Results can take up to 90 days to complete.

On an average people need three laser fat removal sessions for best results. Our experts recommend scheduling the sessions two weeks apart to allow the body to clear the fat from your system.

Are body contouring procedures painful? What about side effects?

Absolutely not! Laser fat removal treatments utilizing UltraShape Power are painless and non-surgical. It is a treatment designed to target fat deposited in different sections of the body without surgery. There is no pain or downtime.

Laser treatments for body contouring have no side effects at all. In fact surgical treatments like liposuction have often shown side effects such as lumping, bruising, shelving and soreness. However ultrasound laser treatments have shown no such side effects because the use of 3D mapping helps deliver energy uniformly into the body. It also helps to reduce any irregularities or asymmetry due to unnatural weight loss.

Who should not have Laser Fat Removal?


  • Patients with a pacemaker or other electromagnetic implanted devices.
  • Pregnant and breast feeding and women who have an anticipated pregnancy at the time of the treatment.
  • People with Hepatitis and other liver disorders
  • People taking medication to aid metabolism
  • People with a history of poor wound healing.

Ninety four percent of the patients who opted for laser fat removal through UltraShape Power have reported immense satisfaction with the results of the procedure. Out of all laser treatments, UltraShape Power at Cosmetic Laser Solutions MedSpa has shown the highest removal of fat volume at thirty two percent. It may be used to target small pockets of stubborn fat like upper arms or love handles. It may also be used to target larger areas of the body such as abdomen or thighs.
