Body Sculpting

The Theory

Body Sculpting or Body Contouring is based on the theory that fat cells can be destroyed, a processs called apoptosis, if you heat or cool those cells from 8 degrees Celsius above or below our normal temperature of 36 degrees Celsius.

Ultherapy & truSculpt and Coolsculpting

Expensive machines have been marketed to do the above. To heat the Fat, Ultrasound is used with Ultherapy and RF is used with truSculpt. Coolsculpting popularize the cooling.

Sculpting versus Weight Loss

When done by skilled hands, all the treatments work in eliminating 20 to 24 % of the Fat over the area treated. However, the Fat cells lost does not amount to a significant weight. Thus, the effect is more of Body Shaping. And the results will take a couple of months to take effect, because Fat destruction and removal by your body takes that time.
