Eliminate Stubborn Fat and Sculpt Your Ideal Body

AesthetiCare offers the most innovative technological treatments for nonsurgical body sculpting and reduction of stubborn fat.

Our state-of-the-art treatments, including CoolSculpting Elite + ZWave and Emsculpt, target unwanted fat cells and tone muscles for a more sculpted, contoured physique. Our expert providers will evaluate your concerns and goals during your initial consultation to determine your best treatment plan.

What is Fat?

Fat, or adipose tissue, is a type of connective tissue in the body that primarily functions as an energy storage system. It comprises specialized cells called adipocytes, which store triglycerides (lipids) and release them when the body needs energy.

Subcutaneous fat sits just below the skin and accounts for most body fat. It serves as insulation, cushioning and an energy reserve. Subcutaneous fat is the type targeted by nonsurgical fat reduction treatments.

Causes

Fat Formation and Storage

While fat serves essential bodily functions, such as energy and insulation, excessive fat accumulation can lead to health and cosmetic concerns. We can help remove some of your stubborn, visible fat deposits.

Excess Energy Intake

Excess calories are converted into triglycerides and stored in adipocytes. This process is called lipogenesis.

Insulin’s Role

After a meal, blood sugar levels rise, triggering the pancreas to release insulin. Insulin promotes glucose uptake by cells and signals adipocytes to store triglycerides.

Adipocyte Expansion

As more triglycerides are stored, the adipocytes increase in size (hypertrophy) and number (hyperplasia) to accommodate the additional fat storage.

What Causes Unwanted Fat?

1

Genetics

Your genes play the most significant role in determining where your body preferentially stores fat. Depending on their genetic makeup, some people may be more prone to storing fat in certain areas, such as the abdomen, hips or thighs.

2

Sex Hormones

Estrogen and testosterone influence fat distribution patterns. Women tend to store more fat in the hips, thighs and buttocks (often known as a “pear” shape), while men tend to store more fat in the abdominal area (an “apple” shape).

3

Aging

Metabolism tends to slow down as we age and you may lose muscle mass. This can contribute to fat accumulation, especially if adjustments to diet and exercise habits are avoided.

4

Hormonal Changes

Hormonal fluctuations, such as during menopause, often lead to changes in fat distribution and make it more challenging for women to lose weight in specific areas.

5

Lifestyle Factors

Sedentary behavior, poor sleep habits and chronic stress can all contribute to unwanted fat gain, even when eating a relatively healthy diet.

Unwanted Fat Treatment Options

CoolSculpting Elite® + ZWave®

CoolSculpting Elite is an FDA-cleared, noninvasive fat reduction treatment that uses controlled cooling to target and eliminate unwanted fat cells. The device applicators are applied to the treatment area, precisely cooling the fat cells beneath the skin’s surface.

Throughout the treatment, the fat cells undergo cryolipolysis, which causes them to crystallize and die. Your body will naturally eliminate them over the following weeks and months for a noticeable reduction in fat in the treated area.

ZWave is a complementary treatment that uses high-energy radial shockwaves to enhance the results of CoolSculpting Elite. When applied after a CoolSculpting treatment, ZWave helps to break down the frozen fat cells more efficiently, leading to faster results and improved skin texture.

Emsculpt

Emsculpt is a revolutionary body treatment that reduces fat and builds muscle. Using high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology, Emsculpt induces powerful muscle contractions, simultaneously stimulating muscle growth and fat loss.

During an Emsculpt treatment, the device paddles are placed on the targeted area (such as the abs or buttocks). The HIFEM energy then causes the muscles to contract at an intensity that cannot be achieved through voluntary contractions, like during exercise.

These supramaximal contractions force the muscle tissue to adapt and grow, increasing muscle mass and definition. At the same time, the rapid contractions also cause the nearby fat cells to break down and be metabolized by the body, leading to a reduction in fat.

Benefits of Nonsurgical Fat Reduction

1

Minimally Invasive

Nonsurgical fat reduction treatments don’t require incisions, anesthesia or lengthy recovery periods. These treatments have minimal downtime, allowing you to return to typical daily activities almost immediately after your procedure. You won’t need to take extended time off work or disrupt your daily routine to recover.

2

Targeted Fat Reduction

Whether you’re concerned about love handles, belly fat or arm fat, treatments like CoolSculpting Elite can selectively target these areas and reduce fat cells without affecting the surrounding tissues. This precision allows for contouring and shaping problem areas, helping you achieve more visible balance.

3

Natural-looking Results

Nonsurgical fat reduction treatments provide noticeable results that appear gradually over several weeks to months after the treatment. This gradual fat reduction process allows your body to adapt and adjust to the changes, resulting in a more natural-looking outcome. Unlike surgical procedures that may result in sudden, drastic changes, nonsurgical treatments create subtle improvements that enhance your overall appearance without looking artificial.

4

Boosted Confidence

Achieving your desired body shape and reducing stubborn fat can significantly impact your self-confidence and body image. Feeling more comfortable with your appearance can translate into all aspects of your life, such as improved social interactions, better performance at work or school and a more positive outlook on life.

5

Improved Body Contours

Nonsurgical fat reduction treatments reduce fat and help sculpt and shape your body, creating more attractive and harmonious proportions. By improving your body contours and proportions, these treatments can help you achieve a more aesthetically pleasing figure that complements your natural features and enhances your overall appearance.

6

Noninvasive and Pain-free

Most nonsurgical fat reduction treatments are noninvasive and relatively pain-free. The nature of these treatments ensures a more comfortable and pleasant experience with fewer risks or downtime than surgical procedures.

7

Versatility of Treatment Areas

Target areas of the body where stubborn fat accumulates. Versatility allows you to address multiple problem areas in a single treatment plan, helping you achieve a more comprehensive body transformation. Some treatments can also build muscle in specific areas, adding dimension to your body-sculpting goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is a good candidate for CoolSculpting Elite and Emsculpt?

Ideal candidates are generally close to their target weight but need help with localized fat deposits or lack of muscle definition. These treatments are not weight loss solutions for obesity.

How many treatments will I need?

The number of treatments required varies depending on your individual goals and the treatment area. Most patients benefit from a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart. Your provider will create a customized treatment plan during your consultation.

Are the results permanent?

While the fat cells eliminated by CoolSculpting Elite are permanently gone, it’s essential to maintain a healthy lifestyle to prevent future fat gain in the treated areas. Emsculpt results can be long-lasting with regular maintenance treatments and consistent exercise.
