If you have areas of stubborn fat that seem resistant to diet or exercise, you are not alone. Many people struggle with spots that do not respond the way the rest of their body does. That is where body contouring treatments can make a noticeable difference.
At North Shore Med Spa, we use VASER Shape, a non-surgical option designed to smooth and sculpt your figure without pain or recovery time.
What Is Body Contouring and VASER Shape?
Body contouring focuses on reshaping areas that hold on to fat or lack tone, even when you are living a healthy lifestyle. It can help reveal a slimmer, more balanced shape by targeting specific zones, such as the abdomen, thighs, or arms, where exercise alone often falls short.
With VASER Shape, you receive a gentle, non-invasive treatment that combines dual ultrasound technology with zonal lymphatic massage. The ultrasound warms and loosens fat just beneath the skin, while the massage helps your body naturally process and eliminate it. This technique also increases blood flow and reduces the appearance of cellulite.
Unlike other devices that rely on surface-level stimulation, VASER Shape helps patients see smoother, firmer contours without the downtime of surgery. A retrospective study of 175 body contouring patients reported a 95% satisfaction rate with VASER-based treatments, including high-definition body sculpting and debulking procedures.
At our Long Island office, patients often choose VASER Shape as a way to refine results after weight loss or tone up for a specific event.
What to Expect During Treatment
Each appointment includes two steps: ultrasound therapy and massage. The process is comfortable, often compared to a deep, warm massage. It does not require anesthesia, and there are no incisions or recovery time.
Common treatment areas include:
- Flanks
- Upper arms
- Lower abdomen
- Thighs
- Buttocks
Sessions last between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the size of the area. Most patients receive one treatment per week over the course of three to five weeks. You can return to normal activities right away with no restrictions.
If you are wondering how VASER Shape compares to other contouring options, it stands apart for its combination of targeted fat disruption and post-treatment massage. This dual-action approach leads to noticeable changes in shape and texture with fewer sessions than most external devices.
How to Prepare and What Results to Expect
Staying hydrated is essential. We recommend drinking one liter of water before and after your visit to help your body flush out excess fat and toxins. Light compression garments can support circulation in the treated area, and even a short walk each day helps your lymphatic system work more efficiently.
Most patients begin seeing visible results after the second session, and results typically continue to improve with each visit. In some cases, patients have reported measurable reductions of several inches across the waist or hips.
