Body Contouring at Glamore Beauty Bar Skin & Laser Clinic
What Is Body Contouring at a Med Spa?
Body contouring at a med spa refers to non-surgical treatments designed to sculpt, tighten, and refine the body by targeting stubborn fat, skin laxity, and uneven texture. Using advanced technologies such as ultrasound, radiofrequency, or light-based therapies, these treatments work beneath the skin’s surface to support fat reduction, improve firmness, and enhance overall tone—without incisions or downtime.
Each treatment is customized to your body and goals, making body contouring ideal for areas like the abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, and under the chin. Results develop gradually, creating a smoother, more defined silhouette that looks natural and balanced. Lets dive deeper into some modalities together below.
HIFU for Body Contouring
HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is a non-surgical body contouring treatment that uses precisely focused ultrasound energy to target specific depths beneath the skin—without damaging the surface. This advanced technology is designed to reduce stubborn fat, tighten skin, and firm underlying tissue, creating smoother, more sculpted contours over time.
Unlike treatments that work only on the surface, HIFU delivers energy to exact depths where collagen remodeling and fat disruption occur. The body then naturally processes treated fat cells while collagen production increases, leading to gradual, natural-looking results.
HIFU is ideal for areas such as the abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, bra line, and under the chin, especially for clients seeking definition without surgery or downtime.
How HIFU Works at Different Depths
One of the most advanced aspects of HIFU is its ability to treat multiple layers of tissue, each serving a specific purpose:
Skin Tightening & Firming Depths
1.5 mm – Targets the superficial dermis
Improves skin texture and fine laxity3.0 mm – Targets the deeper dermis
Stimulates collagen and elastin for visible tightening4.5 mm – Targets the deep structural layer
Helps lift and firm skin by contracting underlying tissue
These depths are commonly used to improve skin firmness and elasticity on both the face and body.
Fat Reduction & Body Sculpting Depths
6.0 mm – Targets shallow subcutaneous fat
8.0 mm – Targets moderate fat layers
10–13 mm – Targets deeper, more stubborn fat deposits
At these depths, focused ultrasound energy creates controlled thermal zones that disrupt fat cells while encouraging tissue contraction and skin tightening above.
What Results to Expect
Results develop gradually as the body responds naturally to treatment. Many clients notice improved firmness within weeks, with continued fat reduction and contour refinement over 8–12 weeks. Depending on the area and individual goals, a series of treatments may be recommended for optimal results.
EMS Muscle Sculpting
EMS (Electromagnetic Muscle Stimulation) is an advanced, non-invasive body sculpting treatment designed to strengthen, tone, and define muscles while supporting fat reduction in the treated area. Using powerful electromagnetic energy, EMS induces rapid, deep muscle contractions that go far beyond what can be achieved through voluntary exercise.
During treatment, targeted muscle groups are stimulated to contract repeatedly, helping build muscle density, improve firmness, and enhance overall contour. As muscles become more engaged and metabolically active, surrounding fat may also be reduced, contributing to a leaner, more sculpted appearance.
EMS muscle sculpting is ideal for areas such as the abdomen, glutes, thighs, arms, and calves, and is often chosen by clients looking to enhance tone, improve core strength, or complement a healthy lifestyle. Results develop progressively over a series of treatments, with no downtime.
Treatment Plan & Results
Most clients achieve optimal results with a series of 4–8 EMS sessions, typically scheduled 1–2 times per week. Some clients notice improved muscle firmness and tone after the first few sessions, with visible definition developing progressively as treatments continue.
EMS is designed to strengthen and sculpt muscle while supporting localized fat reduction, helping refine areas that are resistant to diet and exercise. While EMS can enhance muscle tone and contribute to a more contoured appearance, it is not a weight-loss treatment. Instead, it is ideal for reducing the appearance of the last few stubborn inches, improving firmness, and enhancing muscle definition.
Results are best maintained when paired with a healthy lifestyle and may be enhanced with maintenance sessions as recommended by your provider.
Fat-Dissolving Injections (Deoxycholic Acid)
Fat-dissolving injections use deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body, to target and break down stubborn pockets of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise. Once treated, fat cells are gradually processed and cleared by the body, resulting in a smoother, more contoured appearance over time.
This treatment is commonly used for areas such as the submental area (under the chin), jawline, abdomen, flanks, arms, and thighs, and is ideal for clients seeking precise contour refinement without surgery. Results develop progressively over several weeks, with a series of treatments typically recommended for optimal outcomes.
Fat-dissolving injections are designed for localized sculpting, not weight loss, and are often paired with body contouring technologies to enhance overall definition.
What to Expect
Your appointment begins with a personalized assessment to determine suitability, treatment areas, and the number of sessions recommended. The injection process is precise and targeted, focusing only on specific fat pockets. Treatment time is relatively quick, and you may experience warmth, pressure, or mild discomfort during the procedure.
Swelling is expected and is a normal part of the fat-dissolving process—this indicates the treatment is working. Results develop gradually as the body metabolizes the treated fat cells over several weeks.
Aftercare
Expect swelling, firmness, or tenderness for several days
Avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, and excessive heat for 24–48 hours
Stay well hydrated to support fat metabolism and lymphatic drainage
Gentle movement is encouraged; massage only if advised by your provider
Follow all post-treatment instructions for optimal results
MIC Injection (Metabolism Support)
The MIC injection is a wellness-focused injectable containing Methionine, Inositol, and Choline—nutrients that support metabolism, liver function, and fat processing. Commonly used as part of a balanced wellness routine, MIC injections help support energy levels, nutrient utilization, and overall metabolic efficiency.
This treatment is often chosen by clients looking to complement a healthy lifestyle, weight-management plan, or fitness routine. Fast-absorbing and convenient, MIC injections are designed to support internal balance and vitality—without downtime.
Why MIC Injections Pair Well with Body Contouring & Fat-Dissolving Treatments
MIC injections work synergistically with body contouring and fat-dissolving injections by supporting the body’s natural fat-processing pathways. While contouring treatments physically target fat cells and tissue structure, MIC supports how the body metabolizes and clears fat once it has been released.
Methionine supports liver function and fat metabolism
Inositol helps regulate fat transport and cellular signaling
Choline assists in breaking down and mobilizing fats for energy
When fat-dissolving injections disrupt fat cells or when technologies like HIFU, cavitation, or EMS stimulate fat release, MIC injections help the body process these fatty acids more efficiently, supporting smoother contouring results and reducing sluggish fat clearance.
This combination is ideal for clients looking to enhance results, support metabolism, and promote overall balance—especially when refining stubborn areas that resist diet and exercise.
Radiofrequency, Ultrasonic Cavitation & Vacuum Therapy
This advanced body-contouring treatment combines radiofrequency skin tightening, ultrasonic cavitation, and vacuum therapy to address stubborn fat, skin laxity, and uneven texture in one customized session. Radiofrequency delivers controlled heat to stimulate collagen and improve firmness, while ultrasonic cavitation targets localized fat deposits by disrupting fat cells. Vacuum therapy enhances circulation and lymphatic drainage, helping smooth the skin and refine contours.
Most clients see best results with a series of 6–10 treatments, typically performed weekly. Improvements in skin texture and firmness may be noticed early, with visible contour refinement developing progressively throughout the series. This treatment is designed for body sculpting and skin tightening, not weight loss, and is ideal for refining areas that resist diet and exercise.
Results vary based on individual anatomy, lifestyle, and treatment area. Each session is thoughtfully customized to enhance natural contours with balanced, gradual, and refined results.
