Body Contouring& Sculpting
 

At Renova Medical Aesthetics we offer Body contouring with HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) and EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) can be a combined approach to reduce fat and build muscle for improved body shape. HIFU targets and breaks down fat cells while stimulating collagen for skin tightening, while EMS uses electromagnetic energy to induce muscle contractions to build muscle mass and tone.  

How it works

Stubborn fat cells are difficult to burn off, even through strenuous exercises and extensive weight loss regimes.

High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) create high heat energy that destroys targeted fat. This can be done in areas such as the arms, inner thighs, bra fat, flanks, and double chin.

It delivers concentrated ultrasound energy into different layers of the skin and body without damaging the surface of the skin. It creates energy of up to 75 Degrees Celcius and focuses it on adipose(fatty) tissue. This results in a reduction in volume of adipocytes (fat cells), and at the same time helps stimulate collagen formation to tighten the skin.

Liposuction vs HIFU Body Fat Reduction

Invasive surgical procedures like liposuction carries surgical risks such as scarring, keloid formation, infection, and in some cases even death. There have been many horror stories of liposuction going wrong resulting in unwanted consequences.

Unlike surgical fat reduction procedures, the Ultraformer III treatment is non-invasive and much safer. Although results from surgical procedures are more obvious, it can potentially come at a high price with the risks associated. Downtime associated with liposuction is also very long and painful.

Other than less risks, the Ultraformer III also targets collagen production to tighten the skin, other than . This provides better results than surgical liposuction alone, as areas after liposuction usually have looser skin which requires further treatment.

​​

• EMS: 

  This technology uses electromagnetic energy to cause involuntary muscle contractions, similar to the effects of a workout. These contractions strengthen and tone the muscles, which can help to contour the body and improve overall muscle definition. 

Combined benefits

• Targeted fat reduction: 

  HIFU breaks down fat cells in specific areas like the abdomen or thighs. 

• Muscle building and toning: 

  EMS helps to build muscle mass and improve muscle tone in the treated areas. 

• Improved skin tightening: 

  HIFU helps tighten the skin by stimulating collagen production, which can prevent sagging after fat reduction. 

• Non-invasive: 

  Both treatments are non-surgical, which means there is no downtime, and they are generally considered safe with minor side effects like temporary redness or swelling. 

Important considerations

• Results take time: It may take a few weeks to see initial muscle tone improvements and several months for the full effects of fat reduction and collagen remodeling to become visible. 

• Professional guidance: It is important to receive treatment from a qualified and trained practitioner who can ensure the correct energy levels and target the right areas for your body. 

• Individual results vary: The effectiveness of the treatment can vary between individuals
