What is Body Sculpting?

Saniyya Mahmood • September 19, 2023

Body sculpting, also known as body contouring, is a term that describes a range of treatments that destroy fat cells. It could refer to either a surgical or non-surgical procedure. At Aesthetica Medical, we have the Nuera Tight device. It uses a non-surgical approach to reshape body areas to achieve a more toned and proportionate appearance.

A non-invasive solution to hard-to-shift fat

Body sculpting is a non-invasive medical procedure designed to reduce pockets of stubborn fat that haven't responded to your normal diet and exercise. Surgical and non-surgical body sculpting methods aim to help individuals achieve their desired physique. 


Surgical procedures, such as liposuction and abdominoplasty, remove excess fat and skin from different areas of the body. However, these procedures involve a significant recovery period and potential complications such as scarring and infections.


Non-surgical body sculpting methods cause less physical trauma and typically require little to no recovery time. These methods include cryolipolysis (freezing fat cells), laser lipolysis (using heat from laser energy to destroy fat cells), and radiofrequency lipolysis (using radiofrequency energy to heat and destroy fat cells).


The protocol usually includes several sessions for optimal effectiveness, and the treatments are often combined with other procedures (nutrition, exercise) to boost results. Benefits of body sculpting include improved body proportions, enhanced self-esteem, and a better fit for clothing.

Body Sculpting vs. Weight Loss

Please bear in mind that body sculpting is not a weight-loss solution. Body sculpting isn't about shedding pounds but refining your shape and trimming inches. We recommend that you follow a sensible diet following any body sculpting treatment. You can shift fat with body contouring, but you still need to help things along.

The Science Behind Body Sculpting

Body sculpting treatments work by targeting and eliminating stubborn fat cells that are resistant to diet and exercise. Through the use of advanced technology, these treatments break down fat cells, which are then naturally processed and eliminated by the body, resulting in a more contoured silhouette.
