FAQs
Body Contouring
What is body contouring?
Body contouring refers to a range of non-surgical or surgical treatments designed to reshape and improve the appearance of your body by targeting stubborn fat, loose skin, and cellulite. It’s perfect for enhancing your body’s natural shape and achieving a more toned look.
How does it work?
Non-invasive body contouring treatments use technologies like laser lipolysis, ultrasound, or radio frequency to break down fat cells, which your body naturally eliminates over time. Surgical options, like liposuction, physically remove fat. The method chosen depends on your goals and needs.
Harmony Sculpt only offers non-invasive options.
