Even the most balanced diet and regular physical activity do not always produce the desired results. In some areas of the body, adipose tissue is particularly resistant to reduction, and cellulite and skin flabbiness pose additional challenges. In such cases, it is worth reaching for effective aesthetic medicine and plastic surgery procedures, which offer modern and safe methods of body contouring. However, it is important to remember that these treatments are only a supplement to a healthy lifestyle, not a replacement for it.

Holistic approach to body shaping

To achieve lasting and satisfying results, a holistic approach is required - a combination of a healthy diet, regular physical activity and appropriately selected aesthetic medicine or plastic surgery procedures. At our clinic, patients can count on the support of qualified specialists, including a nutritionist who will develop a personalized nutrition plan that takes into account the individual needs of the body, but also a cosmetologist and a plastic surgeon. All this allows us to select the appropriate methods of body contouring, which translates into better and longer-lasting results.

Advantages of body contouring treatments

Modern body contouring treatments, first of all, allow irreversible destruction of fat cells, which are then removed from the body naturally. This makes it possible to effectively model selected body parts such as the abdomen, thighs, hips or arms. In addition, specialized procedures reduce cellulite, improve skin firmness and overall body contouring. Aesthetic results translate not only into appearance, but a better sense of well-being and greater self-confidence for patients.

The most popular body contouring treatments

  • REMFAT and Storz Medical are treatments that use shock wave technology to effectively break up fat deposits and cellulite. REMFAT works well in reducing fat on the chin, arms, abdomen, thighs and buttocks. Storz Medical has a similar effect, which further firms the skin and improves its elasticity.
  • LPG Endermologie is a non-invasive method of mechanical skin stimulation that reduces cellulite, improves skin tone and promotes circulation. The treatment is completely painless, and the effects are visible after just a few sessions.
  • Carboxytherapy involves the injection of medical carbon dioxide under the skin, which stimulates collagen production, oxygenates tissues and accelerates cell renewal. The treatment is effective in reducing fat, cellulite and swelling.
  • Liposuction is still one of the most popular methods of removing fat from problem areas. It allows body contouring by precisely removing excess fat from the chin, abdomen, hips, thighs or buttocks.
  • Argo Plasma, a state-of-the-art technology combining argon plasma and radio waves, which allows for significant improvement in skin tone and firmness after liposuction. It stimulates collagen fibers for intensive regeneration, providing spectacular rejuvenating results.

Body contouring treatments are dedicated to people who, despite diet and regular physical activity, cannot get rid of resistant fat in certain parts of the body. They are also an excellent solution for people with cellulite and those who want to improve the firmness and appearance of the skin.

FAQ

What is the difference between weight loss treatments and body contouring?

Weight loss treatments help reduce body fat, but do not replace diet and exercise. Body contouring focuses on improving the shape of the body and firming the skin in selected areas where fat is resistant to traditional methods.

Are weight loss treatments effective without diet and exercise?

Treatments can help reduce body fat and improve the appearance of the figure, but the best results are achieved when combined with a healthy diet and regular physical activity.

What parts of the body can be modeled?

The most commonly modeled areas are the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, hips, arms and chin. Depending on the patient's needs, a treatment can be selected for a specific body part, or complementary procedures can be combined.

Are body contouring procedures painful?

Most modeling treatments, such as LPG endermologie and carboxytherapy, are painless or cause only minor discomfort. Invasive procedures, including liposuction, can involve pain and require a recovery period.

How long do the effects of weight loss treatments last ?

The effects can be permanent, provided you maintain a healthy lifestyle. A balanced diet and regular physical activity should be taken care of to avoid the re-deposition of body fat.

Is liposuction a method of weight loss?

Liposuction is not a method of weight loss, but body contouring. It allows the removal of fat from specific areas of the body, but does not replace diet or exercise.

What are the contraindications to body contouring treatments?

Contraindications include, but are not limited to, pregnancy, breastfeeding, autoimmune diseases, uncontrolled diabetes, skin inflammation and blood clotting disorders. Consultation with a specialist is required before performing the procedure.

What treatments help reduce cellulite?

Some of the most effective cellulite-reducing treatments include LPG endermologie, carboxytherapy and shock wave treatments such as REMFAT and Storz Medical.

How many treatments are needed to see results?

The number of treatments depends on the method chosen and the individual needs of the patient. Usually, visible effects appear after several sessions, but the full result is obtained after the completion of the entire series of treatments.

Is it possible to return to daily activities after body contouring treatments?

Most non-invasive procedures do not require convalescence and allow a quick return to daily activities. In the case of invasive methods like liposuction, a recovery period is required that lasts from a few days to a few weeks.
