Where exercise and diet fail, body contouring treatments come into the picture. For years, men and women alike have been going under the knife to get a perfectly sculpted body or remove unnecessary fat from different areas of their bodies. Invasive treatments, such as tummy tuck, liposuction have been trending in recent years. They rank among the most performed surgeries all over the world.
However, the trend is changing now, with the availability of non-invasive body contouring treatments. Many people are now getting them since a non-invasive procedure doesn’t need any cut, incision, or result in a scar. Furthermore, there’s minimal downtime as well.
Non-Invasive Body Contouring Treatments Available at The Nova Clinic
The Nova Clinic by Aesthetics International, one of the most reputable plastic surgery facilities in Dubai, also offers a range of non-invasive body contouring treatments. The treatments are performed by highly experienced and qualified doctors, including Dr. Jaffar Khan who is the founder of this renowned clinic.
Let’s take a look at the non-invasive body contouring treatments available at The Nova Clinic:
CoolSculpting
In a very short span of time, CoolSculpting has become the go-to procedure for people who have stubborn fat that refuses to budge even after a strict workout regime and diet control. The procedure is completely non-invasive and offers effective results. These are the major reasons behind the widespread fame it enjoys.
How Does CoolSculpting Work?
CoolSculpting works on the principle of cryolipolysis i.e., freezing localized fat cells. During the procedure, the doctor uses a small applicator that comes with attached vacuums. It extracts energy from fat layers, causing them to die. Surrounding muscles, tissues, and nerves remain unaffected during this process. The body naturally excretes them via the natural excretion process. Therefore, there’s no need for any incision and a resultant scar.
The treatment session usually lasts for 30 to 35 minutes. This, however, can change depending on the number of treatment areas.
CoolSculpting Limitations
Any person who wants to refine and sculpt their figure can get this procedure. However, there is a limit to how much fat is removed from the body in a single session. Having said that, CoolSculpting isn’t considered a weight loss procedure. It can help to contour your body, but up to a certain limit. Also, the only way to retain the results is to lead a healthier lifestyle.
Post-Treatment
There’s no downtime after CoolSculpting. Thus, you can head to work or continue your routine activities right after the treatment. However, it’s common to feel soreness and redness at the treatment site for some time. This usually remains for a couple of days and goes away on its own. The results may take a couple of weeks to appear completely.
VelaShape 3
VelaShape 3 happens to be one of the most popular non-invasive body sculpting procedures. The primary purpose of this treatment is cellulite reduction. Many undergo this treatment as it offers drastic results without significant discomfort, downtime, or incisions at any part of the body. It is an FDA-approved treatment that is not only safe but effective for all skin types that comes sans any long-term health effects.
How Does VelaShape 3 Work?
This treatment combines Elōs with Vacuum and tissue manipulation. And the outcome is reduced volume of fat tissues. During this treatment, fat cells, their surrounding connective tissues, and underlying dermal collagen fibers get deeply heated. Coupled with vacuum technology, this heating stimulates the growth of new collagen and elastin in the skin. This results in a reduction in skin laxity, and there’s an overall improvement in the texture and structure of the skin at the treatment site.
VelaShape 3 is a painless procedure that causes no discomfort or pain to the patient. It can be tailored to accommodate the comfort level and sensitivity of the patient, making it quite comfortable for everyone.
VelaShape 3 Limitations
The results of VelaShape 3 aren’t permanent. However, they tend to last for a long time. This majorly depends on the lifestyle of the patient. In most cases, regular follow-ups are required to maintain the results.
Post-Treatment
Patients usually experience a warm sensation post-treatment that goes away on its own after a few hours. Furthermore, there can be redness on the skin as well. This, too, subsides gradually. The results start showing every treatment. Normally, 3 to 4 sessions are required for the patient to get their desired outcome. Having said that, the complete results appear after 10 weeks.
BTL Exilis Elite
BTL Exilis Elite is a body contouring treatment that is suitable for any area from head to toe. Since it’s non-invasive, there’s no downtime required. It uses radiofrequency technology for the purpose of tightening the skin. The result is enhanced elastic and collagen production. It is considered ideal for any individual who’s looking for dramatic cosmetic improvements. Experts usually recommend 2 to 4 sessions of this treatment. Each session is 7 to 10 days apart.
How Does BTL Exilis Elite Work?
BTL Exilis Elite targets specific body parts using radio frequency technology. The amount of energy is monitored and controlled in a real-time manner using advanced technology. While the heat energy is forced deep into the skin, cooling technology is also used for the enhanced comfort of the patient.
Due to the heat penetration, the surrounding fat cells die after overheating. They are then flushed out from the body through the lymphatic system. This heat energy is also responsible for collagen production, which reduces wrinkles, tightens skin, and adds volume.
Post-Treatment
As the treatment is pain-free, there’s no aftercare required. However, redness and tenderness at the treated site are very common. It usually goes away on its own in some time. You may also feel that your skin is warm after the treatment. This, too, dissipates quickly in most cases. If you have gotten this treatment around your eyes, there may be some swelling. It is advised to use two pillows when sleeping.
To get optimal results, keep your skin protected by using proper SPF lotion. Also, avoid heat exposure; particularly treated areas should be covered when you’re out in the sun.

The trend of non-invasive body contouring treatments is here to stay. These treatments are budget-friendly, offer quick results, and require no downtime. Schedule your visit at The Nova Clinic if you want to know more about these treatments and their benefits.
