Body contouring or non-invasive fat reduction procedures have always been shrouded with myths and misconceptions. Some of the more famous ones include body contouring as the solution that can stop weight gain once and for all. Others seem to think that body contouring is not effective at all.

This procedure does sound too good to be true. Imagine being able to shed some unwanted fats with no surgery at all. You do not have to take a time off from work to heal nor do you have to suffer from some reminiscent scars. It is no wonder why so many people are doubtful about it. There are also those, on the other end of the spectrum, who expect so much out of it.

This article aims to address all those misconceptions and counter them with more factual information regarding non-surgical fat reduction treatments. You may have heard some of the following misconceptions, and if you have, we recommend that you read through them carefully. That way, the next time you think about non-surgical fat reduction, you’ll be able to make a more informed opinion and decision towards it.

“I don’t have to exercise anymore with ...
... fat reduction treatments.”

Most people undergo non-surgical fat reduction with the expectation that they don’t have to exercise anymore. It is understandable that exercising is not the most enjoyable weight loss activity out there, but it is still a vital part of maintaining the effects of fat reduction treatments. Before the actual procedure, specialists will even advise clients to build an exercising habit first and commit to it.

Body contouring is perfect for individuals who are near their ideal body weight. It is not a weight loss treatment, but more of a healthy and safe way to get rid of stubborn fat and/or loose skin. This procedure is designed to tone the skin and body to achieve a more contoured and sculpted look.

Most clinics that offer fat reduction treatments nowadays integrate a post-procedure regimen that supplements the treatments. The regimen includes eating the right food, exercising at the right time, and many others. So, fat reduction procedures as the be-all and end-all answer to losing weight is nothing but a dangerous misconception. Beware of clinics that perpetrate this misleading marketing tool.

“I can come in for a session and come out with the body that I want.”

This is absolutely not true. Prior to the actual fat reduction treatments, dietitians and treatment specialists will take a considerable amount of time assessing and consulting with you. If you come in with the above normal weight, for instance, you might have to go through weeks of dieting and exercising first. Once you have hit a certain weight goal, only then will the procedure be implemented.

Ultimately, you have to understand that the effects of procedures like this does not happen overnight and with just a single session. Hard work and commitment must still be in place to ensure your safety. Although, once you have gone through the preparation phase; the next consecutive sessions will be a breeze as you can take them during lunchtime or whenever you are free.

“Body contouring is applicable only on belly fats.”

Traditionally, fat reduction treatments only concentrated on belly fats. Procedures like liposuction surgery have popularised the notion that non-invasive fat reduction is also only limited to targeting belly fats. But this is far from the truth.

On the contrary, body contouring through SculpSure is actually very versatile. This type of procedure is already approved by the Therapeutic Goods Agency for the abdomen, inner thighs, outer thighs, back, love handles, and chin.

“Non-invasive fat reduction has negative health effects.”

For some reason, people associate non-invasive fat reduction treatments with harmful radiation. This is another baseless misconception. SculpSure fat reduction procedures are laser-based, which means that no harmful radiation whatsoever is involved.

There is a little radiation that stems from some lasers used in this treatment. However, radiation emitted from the lasers behaves much like ordinary light, rather than something that can break down cells. It is completely harmless and does not have any long-term effects. The procedure eliminates only targeted fat, keeping the surrounding cells and tissues safe and intact.

“Body contouring procedures are very painful.”

Non-invasive fat reduction treatments are, well, non-invasive. That means that you don’t need to suffer from cuts and incisions just to get rid of those pesky pockets of fats that just wouldn’t go away. It uses innovative laser technology, using specific wavelength and heat to remove fat cells in selected areas of the body.

Sessions typically last from 25-45 mins. It is a fast procedure that you can take during lunchtime or whenever you have free time. The only post-treatment thing you have to do is commit to your exercise regimen. No need for a long period of time to heal from physical wounds.
