Body

Our bodies are unique, strong, and capable of miraculous tasks.  Despite the amazing capabilities of our physical form, occasionally there are diet and exercise resistant areas of the body that are of cosmetic concern. Body contouring and body sculpting procedures are performed at Art of Skin MD with little to no downtime and can yield dramatic, meaningful results.

Body contouring can be accomplished through surgical and nonsurgical treatment options.  Surgical options include removal of fat with liposculpture or laser liposuction (Accusculpt), both of which are performed comfortably under local anesthesia.  Liposuction and fat removal procedures can produce pleasing improvements to facial and body contours including the neck, upper arms, bra line, armpit fat, abdomen, waist, “muffin top,” inner & outer thighs, and knees.  Fat collected during liposculpture may also be used for fat transfer to restructure volume lost in the face, hands, breasts, buttocks, and scars.

Nonsurgical body sculpting can be accomplished through many procedures with little to no downtime.  Radiofrequency, cryolipolysis, acoustic wave therapy, and injection lipolysis are among the premier methods of reducing fat and possible skin tightening.  In-office procedures including Kybella, Vanquish, CoolSculpting, Exilis, Protégé Elite, and Cellutone can be used alone or in combination with each other or other procedures at Art of Skin MD to restore a more balanced or youthful appearance.
