What is body contouring?

Body contouring refers to a set of aesthetic medicine techniques that enhance body shape and definition without the need for surgery.

Body contouring - Dr. Juan Carlos Lloreda

At Dr. Juan Carlos Lloreda’s Aesthetic Medicine Center, effective procedures are performed based on each patient’s personalized diagnosis.

  • Fractional radiofrequency using Morpheus8 technology.
  • The application of recombinant biological enzymes, which in specific combinations produce a lipolytic effect to target localized fat.
  • Biostimulators, which are substances that accelerate the process of improving skin quality.
  • Venus Legacy, which uses multipolar radiofrequency and magnetic pulses to generate heat in the treated area, stimulating localized fat reduction and promoting collagen and elastin production.

What is body contouring used for?

This group of body contouring procedures helps reduce cellulite while improving skin texture and firmness.

According to Dr. Lloreda, thanks to patented technology using gold-coated microneedles that reach depths of up to 8 millimeters, “we can stimulate the subdermal tissue through the heat generated by radiofrequency.” This treatment is ideal for improving conditions such as skin laxity, localized fat deposits, cellulite, and even stretch marks or certain types of scars. In these cases, the use of biostimulators also works very effectively, as they help enhance overall skin quality.

Regarding body treatments with Venus Legacy, its multipolar radiofrequency and magnetic pulses aid in body contouring by reducing stubborn localized fat in areas such as the arms, legs, abdomen, and buttocks through controlled thermal energy. Medical studies have shown that Venus Legacy is effective in reducing subcutaneous fat, significantly improving the appearance of cellulite, and achieving firmer, smoother skin.

This technology serves as a complement to a healthy lifestyle that includes a balanced diet and regular physical exercise, helping to achieve more effective and lasting body contouring results.

Benefits

  • It enhances body shape without surgery through advanced technologies such as Morpheus8 and Venus Legacy.
  • This technology causes only mild discomfort compared to surgical procedures and their postoperative recovery.
  • It delivers visible results from the very first sessions.
  • It defines body contours by targeting localized fat deposits that are difficult to eliminate through diet or exercise, such as waist and buttock sculpting.
  • It promotes smoother skin with improved tone and overall appearance.
  • It helps reduce the appearance of scars and stretch marks.
  • It enhances the production of collagen and elastin.

Duration

The duration of non-surgical body contouring treatments depends on the specific areas to be addressed, the patient’s individual goals, and the specialist’s assessment. Results are often visible from the first session; however, maintaining them requires a healthy lifestyle that includes a balanced diet and regular physical activity.

Application process

The first step toward successful body contouring is obtaining a medical evaluation to define the patient’s needs and expectations. During the procedure, the skin is cleansed, followed by the application of radiofrequency, which may be complemented with mesotherapy using fine needles to deliver specific substances. The number of sessions is determined by the physician, and no downtime is required for recovery.

The specialist will determine whether to combine different technologies or focus on a single approach, as well as whether to incorporate biostimulators, enzymes, or complementary techniques.

Expectations

This combination of techniques helps reduce localized fat for effective body contouring. The use of biological enzymes supports faster and safer fat elimination, while biostimulators improve skin health by stimulating collagen and elastin production to combat sagging. Depending on the techniques used, patients can achieve noticeable results in reducing localized fat, minimizing the appearance of stretch marks, and improving overall skin tone and firmness.

What is the best non-surgical treatment to reduce abdominal fat?

Eliminating localized fat, especially in the lower abdomen, can be challenging even with proper diet and exercise. For this purpose, technologies such as Venus Legacy use multipolar radiofrequency and magnetic pulses to generate heat in the treated area, stimulating localized fat reduction and promoting the production of collagen and elastin.

Is body contouring treatment painful?

It is natural for medical procedures to cause some discomfort, but in these cases it is minimal. An important recommendation is to drink plenty of water after the treatment.

Regarding side effects, patients may experience mild bruising, superficial controlled burns, irritation, or swelling, all of which typically resolve naturally within a few days after the procedure.
