While treating loose skin from massive weight loss patient involves scarring, the trade-off for contour - the kind of contour a patient can flex in form-fitting clothing - is readily made by patients. Loose skin, after all, will never spring back; surgery is a necessity. These situations alone are driving many patients in to see how they might improve their own body’s contour, or finish the long, long journey of massive weight loss. They have seen before and afters, spoken with and decided upon a surgeon, and committed to surgical rejuvenation.Ask your treatment provider about the best treatment plan for you. What should I expect during the treatment? Most patients feel a tingling sensation intermittently throughout the treatment which is generally well tolerated. When will I see results? Many patients start to see results as early as 6 weeks following treatment as the body begins to evacuate the destroyed fat cells, with optimal results usually seen at 12 weeks. How long will the results last?

Each body contouring treatment damages fat cells in a different way. The cells can be heated up by ultrasound or radiofrequency treatment, cooled down by fat freezing treatments, or broken apart by fat dissolving injections. The remnants of the cells will then be processed by your body or carried away by the lymphatic system.
This enables the RF energy to penetrate more easily through the skin and reach the targeted fat layer. The BioSpa recommends drinking a minimum of eight glasses of water beginning a minimum of three days prior to treatment. Avoid dehydrating activities for two to three days prior to treatment, such as aerobics, hot yoga, boxing, cross fit, etc. It is also recommended to avoid drinking alcohol due to the dehydrating effect it can have on the body. Upon arrival at the BioSpa, you will be escorted to our Vanquish treatment room.
This revolutionary technology harnesses the power of cold to fight unshapely curves and is now being offered by Dr. Marco A. Gonzalez, Board certified plastic surgeon at Envy Aesthetic Center in El Paso, Texas! CoolSculpting® is an innovative and highly-effective non-surgical body contouring technique designed to target large pockets of unwanted fat in common “trouble zones” such as the abdomen, waist, thighs, and buttocks.
The cells undergo an inflammatory response which leads to them draining out through phagocytes. When there are less fat cells in the body, the targeted area is automatically less prone to swell due to fat storage. For optimal results, this treatment requires a session that spans a few months. How Much Does Non-Invasive Body Contouring Cost? The cost of the noninvasive treatment varies. This primarily depends on the areas you are targeting and the number of sessions which are needed to achieve your goals.
