What is body contouring?

Not all fat is the same. Some fat is more resistant than other types, lodging itself in the belly, around the hips and the waist. With body contouring Palo Alto patients have a great solution for those stubborn areas that cannot be shaped to your desired results with regular workouts. Below you will find some of our most popular treatments for toning, slimming, reshaping, and contouring the body without surgery.

What areas of the body can be treated with Body Contouring?

Body contouring treatments at Total Glow are designed to target and refine various areas of the body, offering customized solutions for your aesthetic goals.

  • Abdomen and Flanks: Emsculpt is particularly effective in reducing stubborn fat and toning muscles in these areas, helping to create a more sculpted midsection.
  • Thighs and Buttocks: Treatments like Exilis Ultra are ideal for tightening skin and reducing fat, leading to smoother and more defined thighs and buttocks.
  • Arms: For those seeking to eliminate excess fat and tighten loose skin, Total Glow offers a non-surgical option that delivers noticeable results.
  • Neck and Chin: Exilis Ultra can non-invasively tighten skin and reduce fat under the chin, refining the jawline and neck.

What aesthetic issues does Body Contouring address?

At our med spa in Palo Alto body contouring treatments can address many different aesthetic concerns, helping you achieve a more balanced and refined appearance, such as:

  • Stubborn Fat: Treatments like Emsculpt are highly effective at reducing pockets of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise.
  • Loose Skin: Exilis Ultra works to tighten skin, making them perfect for areas where skin laxity is a concern.
  • Muscle Definition: Emsculpt not only burns fat but also enhances muscle tone, creating a more sculpted appearance.
  • Cellulite: Exilis Ultra and Ballancer Pro help reduce the appearance of cellulite, leading to smoother skin texture.
