Body sculpting encompasses a broad range of treatment approaches and lifestyle interventions. The definition of body sculpting includes the removal of fat using surgical and non-surgical body contouring procedures. Non-surgical body sculpting includes Cryo-lipolysis (Coolsculpting, Cooltech and Clatuu) and surgical procedures such as liposuction and abdominoplasty (tummy tuck). For some of us, diet and exercise are not enough to shift those stubborn areas of fat and give you the body sculpting you desire. Over there last decade there have been non-surgical alternatives to treat unwanted pockets of fat.SculpSure is the first FDA-approved laser technology in the world for the effective treatment of unwanted fat on the flanks and abdomen. It is a cutting-edge laser treatment, which harnesses the power of controlled light-based technology to quickly and powerfully reduce stubborn body fat. SculpSure uses a 1060nm wavelength laser to heat the fat cells until it has reached a temperature that causes lipolysis. It features special hands free applicators, which are placed flat on the skin’s surface to heat the layer of fat whilst simultaneously cooling the surface of the skin to ensure maximum comfort.

Immediately after the procedure, the treated area may feel stiff and numb. This resolves with a few minutes of massage. Bruising, swelling and tenderness tend to be transient. During the consultation, Dr Ng would advise the best option for sculpting and slimming the body by Coolsculpting or liposuction.
