Body Contouring Technologies Explained

Body Contouring Centre, Bristol

Coolsculpting abs resultsDesiring a better body shape is not new – for centuries women and men have worked hard to try and attain a more ideal shape. We’ve worn corsets, girdles and spanx; and tried all sorts of diets and exercise regimes.

Yet results can be frustrating and many people end up looking into other options to try and reduce stubborn fat and cellulite.

Over recent years, the choices have expanded.

Surgery is no longer the only option – there are now a range of new devices and techniques offering a very viable alternative.

Realistic expectations

One key factor in deciding whether to have non-surgical body contouring is to understand the likely result. It is important to have realistic expectations, including:

  1. A course of sessions is required for best results – one session alone won’t achieve anywhere near as much
  2. It’s important to manage diet sensibly in order to maintain results. Having a fat-busting treatment is not a license to eat what you want
  3. Equally, commit to a healthy active lifestyle for best results, as this is key to managing bodyweight and fat composition going forward

Body contouring technology explained

Here are a few of the technologies behind body shaping treatments with a little explanation on how they work. As you’ll see, Quinn Clinics based in Bristol offers a range of body shaping treatments with cutting edge technology to suit all purposes:

  • Radiofrequency
    • Radiofrequency delivers energy to warm tissues deep in the skin, resulting in vasodilation and inflammatory responses. Heating the fat layer to a certain level has been shown to reduce fat cells.
    • EXILIS ULTRA 360™ – combines radiofrequency  with ultrasound to break down fatty deposits then tighten, tone, shape and lift
    • EMTONE – combines radiofrequency with targeted pressure energy (like an intense massage) to tackle cellulite as well as fat reduction
    • EMSCULPT – combines radiofrequency with High Intensity Focused Electromagnetic treatment to burn fat while building muscle tone
  • Cryoliploysis
    • Also known as ‘fat freezing’, this works by intensively cooling the area to destroy excess fat cells
    • CoolSculpting – combines the ‘fat freezing’ with a vacuum mechanism for a non-surgical liposuction which is generally considered to get rid of around 25% of the fat in the area
  • Ultrasound
    • This works by delivering ultrasonic energy to deeper layers, where it triggers fat loss as well as tightening
    • EXILIS ULTRA 360™ – combines ultrasound with radiofrequency to reduce fat as well as improve body shape and tone
  • Electromagnetic
    • This technology focuses in toning through stimulation of muscle activity. It triggers thousands of contractions, equivalent to 24,000 crunches in just one session
    • EMSCULPT – combines High Intensity Focused Electromagnetic treatment with radiofrequency, to add fat burning to the non-surgical muscle building treatment for a more toned physique

Number 1 Body-Contouring Centre – Bristol & South West

Quinn Clinics based in Bristol offers the widest range of fat-busting, body toning and muscle building treatments in the South West. This advanced technology can directly target the area of concern and noticeably change its shape as well as volume.

The choice of advanced non-surgical body contouring options includes a variety of technological options, which means that we can recommend the most appropriate route based on your goals. We can even make tailor-made treatment combinations for the optimum result!

A consultation and discussion with one of Quinn Clinics’ expert team helps to determine the best way forward. This includes a physical assessment as well as consideration of desired results, history/background (e.g. weight gain, weight loss, pregnancy, injury) and lifestyle factors (e.g. activity, diet). There are no false promises, we’re here with sensible advice to ensure you get the best results.

These treatments should never be seen as an alternative to diet and exercise, but they’re a significant boost to your own efforts and mean you can target the areas of greatest concern. In order to maintain best results, it is vital to maintain a healthy approach to nutrition, hydration and activity. However, the good news is that once fat cells have been destroyed, they’re naturally expelled by the body’s metabolic processes and they’re gone for good.
