A healthy diet and regular exercise are important, but there are limits to this approach. That’s why VIDA offers a number of body contouring and sculpting treatments, all non-invasive or minimally invasive. Contouring and sculpting might require removing small amounts of fat, building muscle, tightening the skin, or a combination of all three. We have everything you need to gain the confidence (and aesthetic) you deserve just in time for the end of summer. Multiple sessions are required for all body sculpting options, so get started right now and you’ll see results by Labor Day weekend with full results just in time for those holiday parties.
CoolSculpting
CoolSculpting is one of the most established and well-known body sculpting treatments. It works by freezing away small amounts of unwanted fat, “killing” those fat cells so that they never return. Completely non-invasive, CoolSculpting now works better than ever, burning more fat than the tech of the past so you can see results faster and in fewer sessions. Plus, there are CoolSculpting tools that allow you to treat virtually any area you want to contour, including tiny areas like below the chin (CoolMini). Most clients require 4 – 6 sessions per treatment site for the best results and you will begin to see initial results just one month after your first appointment.
Kybella
Kybella is a minimally-invasive injectable treatment that gets rid of submental fat that causes a double chin. This is a different approach than the CoolMini and works by injecting a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid into the area. This acid in its natural form is the body’s inherent fat-buster. Kybella uses a specialized “stamp” device so that several injections are administered at once, ensuring the fastest and most comfortable treatment. Similar to CoolSculpting, most clients need 4 – 6 treatments spaced one month apart for the best results. A conservative approach to Kybella is a must, which is why it’s not a “once and done” treatment, and your provider must analyze how much fat is dissolved and how your body responds with each treatment. Dissolving too much fat in this area is never good because once the fat is gone, it’s gone—and you need the right amount of fat here for a natural look.
Ultherapy
Ultherapy is a non-invasive skin tightening procedure that is best used in smaller areas such as the face and neck. Originally dubbed a “facelift alternative” because of its stunning results, Ultherapy uses ultrasound technology for collagen induction therapy. Collagen is what keeps our skin taut and youthful, but we make less of it as we get older. Ultherapy gives us back control of our collagen production—exactly where we want and need it. Results from Ultherapy last about one year on average, and you can always opt for annual treatments to keep the results you’ll love. The outcome is so stunning that you can delay the need for a facelift or more aggressive surgical therapies by several years.
Body contouring and sculpting procedures can be complemented with other aesthetic services such as chemical peels, microneedling, and more. Body contouring treatments typically address underlying tissue and not the quality of the skin itself. To tackle hyperpigmentation, acne scarring, and other “superficial” issues, complementary treatments are a must and we’ll help you design a customized treatment plan.
All of our providers are personally trained by Medical Director Dr. Kim Thompson and are CAE, so you know you’ll get the best results—and experience. Plus, consultations are always complimentary.
