Nonsurgical body contouring vs liposuction, tummy tuck, and more in 4 key benefits

The process transforms flabby, saggy, and poorly contoured body areas. Individuals who wish to regain their trim and toned figures can do so without going under the knife. Additionally, the nonsurgical sculpting procedure services available at Alchemy Wellness can shrink even the most stubborn deposits of fat, such as that tummy that won’t budge no matter how much you work out or those “love handles” that never seem to diminish no matter how nutritiously you eat. Here, Dr. Saima Jehangir and our team in Austin, Texas, are pleased to acquaint you with some of the ways that state-of-the-art systems and procedures like SculpSure^® and Tempsure^® Envi favorably differ from “traditional” surgical alternatives like liposuction, “tummy tuck,” and more.

No. 1: No incisions

Surgical procedures largely involve making incisions or openings in the skin to access underlying tissues. Then, these tissues are removed and repositioned. With our advanced technologies and onsite capabilities, no cutting is involved. Instead, our systems non-invasively deliver therapeutic energy via specialized applicators. Radiofrequency or laser energy produces heat and triggers a process of either safely damaging and removing fat cells from the body or producing collagen and elastin to firm up sagging skin. We do not use scalpels or other medical instruments to remove fatty tissue or excess skin.

No. 2: Anesthesia-free

The therapies available at our medspa are generally well-tolerated with a local anesthetic, cold compress, or the built-in cooling capabilities of the technologies we use to perform treatment. Surgical procedures, however, carry anesthesia-related risks and may not be appropriate for all patients due to the risk associated with inducing a loss of consciousness before treatment. Surgeons largely indicate general anesthesia for many aesthetic surgical procedures because of their highly invasive nature.

No. 3: Minimal risks of side effects, complications

With our advanced nonsurgical therapies to eliminate fat and tighten skin, the risks are largely minimized or avoided. And, while techniques like liposuction are far safer than they ever have been, there remains a risk of excess bleeding. These risks may include excess bleeding and damage to deeper structures and organs such as nerves, muscles, and lungs. Additionally, post-treatment complications for these procedures range from infection to persistent changes in skin sensation, as well as pigment and contour-related irregularities. With many of our procedures, you can get desirable contours with little more than temporary and modest redness, tenderness, bruising, and swelling at the treatment sites.

No. 4: Little to no downtime

Since there is nothing to recover from with SculpSure^® and Tempsure^®, you can largely be on your way immediately following treatment. So, unlike with butt augmentation, abdominoplasty, or other surgical procedures, you don’t have to take weeks or months off of work and away from the activities you enjoy. Plus, you don’t have to contend with the potentially severe bruising, swelling, and other post-surgery effects, as well as the extensive after-care associated with these treatments.

Finally, trimming that tummy doesn’t have to be a painful and prolonged experience. Take the first step to your new look and confident outlook. Schedule a consultation at Alchemy Wellness in Austin, TX, by calling (512) 960-3622.
