Read on to learn more about three of the most popular body treatments that will prepare you for some summer fun in the sun.

1. Liposuction

For many years, people who have stubborn areas of fat that will not respond to diet and exercise alone have turned to liposuction to help sculpt and tone their bodies. Liposuction removes pockets of stubborn fat from various areas of the body. It’s important to note that liposuction is not a tool for weight loss but rather a companion on your weight loss journey to target areas where diet and exercise are insufficient.

Dr. Gray uses power-assisted liposuction. A small incision is made in the targeted area where a thin cannula can be inserted. He then adds a tumescent solution comprised of saline, a local anesthetic, and a vasoconstrictor to reduce bleeding. The cannula is moved back and forth to loosen fatty tissue, and then it’s suctioned away.

Liposuction can be used on a variety of areas of the body including:

• Abdomen
• Waist
• Hips
• Inner thighs
• Knees
• Arms
• Chest
• Back
• Underneath the chin

2. SculpSure®

Perhaps you’re not interested in surgery but still want to tone and sculpt a particularly stubborn area of your body. Dr. Gray highly recommends SculpSure, to his patients who wish to diminish fat in the abdomen, tone love handles, back, thighs, and double chin. This treatment requires no incisions or anesthesia and provides impressive, natural-looking results.

SculpSure works by elevating the temperature of fat cells to damage their structural integrity. The body’s natural process will gradually remove the dead cells after just a few weeks. Treatment typically takes about 25 minutes to complete a large area and 3 to 4 months for final results to appear. Schedule your treatment now, and be ready for the warm days ahead.

3. Emsculpt NEO

Emsculpt NEO not only burns fat but also tones muscles at the same time. It works by emitting synchronized RF and HIFEM+ energies through the applicator. The radiofrequency heats the muscles’ temperature quickly by several degrees, preparing the muscles for exposure to intense stress. This is similar to what you would do during a warmup at the gym. Emsculpt can have subcutaneous fat reach levels that cause immediate and permanent damage in less than four minutes. Emsculpt bypasses the body and brain’s limitations, allowing for faster, more noticeable results.
