Body Contouring in Richmond BC

Some areas of the body can be frustratingly difficult to improve, even when you eat well, exercise regularly and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Changes in skin firmness, cellulite and the way tissue sits across areas such as the abdomen, thighs, arms and flanks can all affect how smooth and defined your body looks.

Our non-invasive Body Contouring treatments use controlled radiofrequency heat to improve skin firmness, texture and the appearance of body contours. With different applicators for different areas of the body, treatment can be personalized according to where you would like to see improvement.

For guests who want a firmer, smoother and more refined appearance without surgery or downtime, Body Contouring offers a comfortable way to work on those areas that have been bothering you.

What Is Body Contouring?

Body Contouring describes treatments designed to improve the shape and appearance of specific areas of the body without surgery.

At Raintree, we use TempSure radiofrequency technology to gently heat the tissue, stimulate collagen and improve the appearance of skin firmness and texture.

This can be particularly helpful when an area doesn't look as smooth or defined as you would like because of changes in skin quality, mild laxity, cellulite or the natural distribution of tissue.

We commonly treat areas such as the:

Abdomen
Flanks and waist
Thighs
Upper arms
Back
Hips
Buttocks
Areas around the knees

Rather than changing your overall body size, Body Contouring focuses treatment where you would specifically like to see better firmness, smoother skin and improved definition.

How Does Body Contouring Work?

Our Body Contouring treatments use controlled radiofrequency energy to create heat within the treatment area.

That thermal response can support collagen remodeling and improve the appearance of skin firmness and texture. Depending on the area and what we are trying to improve, we can also use different TempSure applicators to deliver the treatment in different ways.

TempSure Firm allows your provider to work directly over specific body areas and can also incorporate massage when cellulite is part of the concern.

FlexSure uses flexible, hands-free applicators that wrap around larger areas of the body and deliver controlled radiofrequency heating.

This gives us flexibility to choose the treatment approach according to the area rather than treating every body concern in exactly the same way.

Most guests benefit from a series of treatments, with recommendations based on the area being treated and the degree of improvement we are looking for.

What Areas Can Be Treated?

Radiofrequency Body Contouring can be used on several areas where changes in firmness, skin quality or body contours are noticeable.

Common treatment areas include:

Abdomen
Waist and flanks
Upper arms
Inner and outer thighs
Back and bra line
Hips
Buttocks
Areas around the knees

Some areas may be better suited to TempSure Firm, while larger areas can often be treated comfortably with FlexSure.

During your consultation, we'll look at the area with you and determine whether radiofrequency Body Contouring is likely to provide the type of improvement you are looking for.

Is Body Contouring Right for You?

Body Contouring may be a good option if you are generally happy with your weight but there are particular areas you would like to look firmer, smoother or better defined.

You may be a good candidate if you:

Notice mild skin laxity or loss of firmness
Have areas that don't look as smooth as you would like
Have cellulite contributing to uneven texture
Want to improve the appearance of your abdomen, waist, thighs, arms or other body areas
Prefer a non-invasive treatment
Don't want needles, surgery or downtime
Want gradual, natural-looking improvement

During your consultation, we'll assess the area you would like to improve and determine which Body Contouring approach is most appropriate.

That distinction is important.

If the change you are looking for requires significant reduction in volume rather than improvement in skin quality and contour, we'll tell you. Another treatment or a medical/surgical option may be more appropriate.

Radiofrequency Body Contouring vs. CoolSculpting

There are several ways to approach non-surgical Body Contouring, and one of the biggest differences is how the technology treats the tissue.

CoolSculpting uses controlled cooling to target fat cells.

Our TempSure Body Contouring treatments use radiofrequency heat, allowing us to focus on skin firmness, texture and the overall appearance of the treated area while providing a very different treatment experience.

TempSure treatments are warm and comfortable, require no suction or freezing and allow us to treat a variety of areas using different applicators.

We also have two approaches within the TempSure platform:

TempSure Firm allows your provider to work directly over targeted areas and can incorporate massage when cellulite is part of the concern.

FlexSure uses flexible, hands-free applicators that comfortably wrap around larger body areas.

For our clients, that versatility is one of the reasons we chose radiofrequency Body Contouring. It gives us a comfortable, non-invasive way to improve firmness, texture and body contours without downtime.

Why Choose The Skin Clinic @ Raintree Spa

Professional assessment before treatment

What to Expect

Your Body Contouring treatment begins with an assessment of the area and a discussion about what you would like to improve.

Depending on the area, we may use TempSure Firm or FlexSure.

With TempSure Firm, your provider moves the radiofrequency applicator across the treatment area as the tissue gradually warms.

FlexSure uses flexible applicators that wrap around larger areas of the body and deliver controlled radiofrequency energy hands-free.

Both treatments feel warm and are designed to be comfortable. There are no needles, no numbing and no downtime.

Treatment time depends on the area and the applicator being used.

Results develop gradually as collagen remodeling occurs and the appearance of the treated tissue changes. Most guests benefit from a series rather than a single treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Body Contouring a weight-loss treatment?

No. Body Contouring is designed to improve specific areas rather than change your overall body weight.

It is best suited to someone who is reasonably close to their comfortable weight and would like to improve the firmness, smoothness or appearance of particular areas that continue to bother them.

How many treatments will I need?

Most guests benefit from a series of treatments.

The number we recommend depends on the area being treated, what you would like to improve and how your tissue responds.

We'll recommend a treatment schedule after assessing the area rather than assuming the same number of sessions is appropriate for everyone.

When will I see results?

Body Contouring results develop gradually.

When radiofrequency is being used to support collagen remodeling and improve skin firmness, changes continue to develop over the weeks following treatment.

How quickly you notice a difference depends on the area, your starting point and the treatment plan we recommend.

Can Body Contouring tighten loose skin?

Radiofrequency can improve the appearance of mild skin laxity by supporting collagen remodeling and firmer-looking skin.

However, Body Contouring is not the same as a dedicated Skin Tightening treatment.

If loose or crepey skin is the primary concern, particularly when laxity is more established, we'll assess whether one of our Skin Tightening treatments would be a better option.
