Non-surgical body contouring treatments can involve multiple modalities, including lipodissolve (phosphatidylcholine + deoxycholic acid) fat-reducing injections and RF microneedling to refine contours, tighten skin, address stretch marks, and improve overall texture across multiple body areas.

Fat-reducing injections use compounds such as phosphatidylcholine and deoxycholic acid to break down small, subtle refinements that can enhance the overall balance of localized areas of fat. These treatments are best suited for targeted contouring—commonly under the chin, lower abdominal area, and love handles - all problem areas that can cause concern despite aggressive diet and exercise modification.

RF microneedling uses ultra-fine needles combined with radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen deep within the skin. On the body, this helps improve skin laxity, refine texture, and reduce the appearance of stretch marks while supporting firmer, more even-looking skin.

Most patients tolerate lipodissolve treatments well, though some discomfort is expected during the injections and shortly afterward. The treatment involves a series of small injections that can cause a brief burning or stinging sensation, followed by swelling and tenderness. Bruising and small nodules are not uncommon and typically resolve within 1 to 2 weeks.

These treatments target different concerns at different depths. Fat-reducing injections address localized fullness, while RF microneedling improves skin quality and laxity. Treatments are scheduled separately and spaced strategically to optimize fat destruction and collagen remodeling for the best overall outcome.

Downtime varies depending on the modality. Fat-reducing injections can result in swelling and tenderness for several days, while RF microneedling may cause temporary redness and sensitivity. We’ll guide you based on your treatment plan.

A series is typically recommended. Fat-reducing injections are performed over 3-6 sessions for gradual contouring, while RF microneedling is done in a series of 3-4 to support collagen production and progressive improvement in skin quality.

Results develop gradually. Fat reduction becomes noticeable over several weeks as the body processes treated areas, while RF microneedling results improve over 3-6 months as collagen production increases.

These treatments are best suited for patients looking to refine specific areas rather than achieve weight loss. During your consultation, we’ll assess your goals and create a personalized plan aligned with your anatomy and desired outcome.
