Why Winter Is the Best Time to Start Body-Sculpting Treatments

It makes sense to begin body-sculpting procedures during the winter months to gain your best body by summer, since it may take up to six months to achieve optimum results. 

Our compassionate team at LH Spa & Rejuvenation in Livingston and Madison, New Jersey, specializes in a variety of techniques from body sculpting to Botox® to help you look and feel your best. Our medical director Dr. Suhel Ahmed and the rest of our team help patients regain their optimal shape and best quality of life through body sculpting and other noninvasive technologies.

Body sculpting with BODYFX by InModeⓇ

Our experienced technicians employ the world’s top body-sculpting technique with BODYFX which permanently destroys fat. It works by emitting constant radiofrequency energy deep into your body’s fat tissue. By heating up the area and applying moderate suction, BODYFX targets unwanted fat, firms the skin, and reduces cellulite. It first contracts, then smooths the area naturally. 

While you’ll notice a difference following just one 30-minute treatment, we generally recommend a series of treatments over time for optimum body contouring. Although the results are permanent, new fat cells due to weight gain may also warrant additional treatments.

Step by step with BODYFX

Our technician contours your curves by shrinking fat and smoothing cellulite on your love handles, abdomen, upper arms, back, hips, and thighs for a sleeker you. The simple process takes about 30 minutes, as follows:

1. You lie clothed on a table with just the area being treated exposed.

2. We rub gel onto the area to be treated to make the BODYFX device work smoothly on your skin.

3. We place the handheld BODYFX device atop the area to be treated. You feel suction as it touches the skin, targeting fat cells below.

4. Over time, the fat cells leave the body naturally as waste, decreasing your upper layer of fat by as much as 30%.

The device has an automatic shutoff, so it won’t ever overheat your skin. Your body temperature also registers continually on the device’s screen for added protection. Afterwards, you may notice tenderness in the area. Other than that, there’s no downtime, and most importantly, your fat loss is permanent.

FORMA helps tighten skin

You can achieve even better results by adding skin-tightening techniques such as FORMA and FORMA Plus by InMode. Our technicians employ nonsurgical radiofrequency energy from these medical lasers to firm your skin. 

By stimulating the area with heat, FORMA regenerates natural collagen, we can tighten your skin for a more contoured appearance. It works well in tandem with BODYFX for the abdomen, arms, and other problem spots. FORMA also lessens facial lines and wrinkles for a more youthful appearance.

When less is clearly more

Beginning body sculpting during the long winter months in time for a perfect summer body makes sense. Lifestyle habits are important, too, as body sculpting works best alongside a healthy diet and regular exercise. 

Those with pacemakers, existing aneurysms, or other chronic health conditions are not good candidates for radiofrequency treatment. Speak with your doctor to make sure body sculpting with radiofrequency or other means is right for you.

When you’re ready to give yourself the gift of body sculpting, skin tightening, or other beneficial aesthetic treatments, or you want to learn more about any of our techniques, call us or request an appointment online at LH Spa & Rejuvenation.
