Body Contouring
Stubborn pockets of fat and lack of muscle tone can be difficult to change, even with consistent effort. Body contouring can help problem areas by reducing volume in some places and increasing definition in others. Treatments are non-surgical, so there is no need for incisions, anesthesia, downtime, or discomfort.
At De La Belle Body & Wellness in Memphis, you can shape your body gradually and intentionally, focusing on zones like your abdomen, thighs, arms, or buttocks. Whether your goal is more muscle tone, less fat, improved skin elasticity, or all three, our treatment plans can help you see visible change.
What Is Body Contouring?
Body contouring refers to a category of nonsurgical treatments designed to reshape the body by reducing unwanted fat, tightening skin and improving muscle definition. These procedures target zones that tend to resist traditional diet and exercise efforts, giving you a little extra help where you need it most.
The technologies behind body contouring vary, but most use some combination of temperature, electromagnetic energy or radiofrequency. Each session moves you closer to a more sculpted silhouette.
Why Consider Body Contouring?
Stubborn Fat Pockets
Localized fat in areas like the abdomen, flanks, thighs, or upper arms can remain even if you concentrate on physical activity and good nutrition. Body contouring can help reduce the fat in these areas by breaking down fat cells and shrinking them. Most treatments do not require downtime and allow you to resume normal activity shortly afterward.
Lack of Muscle Definition
Toning muscles takes time and consistency. Certain body contouring technologies use electromagnetic energy to contract muscle fibers far more deeply and efficiently than voluntary exercise. These treatments provide stronger, firmer-looking muscles in areas like the abs or glutes.
Mild Skin Laxity
Some body contouring treatments can help with mild skin tightening by promoting collagen production. While they are not a substitute for surgical skin removal for those with extreme amounts of excess skin, these treatments can make a noticeable difference for mild to moderate laxity and even help with the appearance of cellulite.
Postpartum Body Changes
Pregnancy changes your body in ways that can feel hopelessly permanent, including shifts in fat distribution, skin tone, and muscle separation. Certain body contouring options address these issues by supporting core strength and helping with localized fat. Treatments are non-invasive and may be used once your provider clears you for this type of care.
The Benefits of Body Contouring
The benefits of body contouring include convenience, precision, and gradual body reshaping without surgical downtime. You can focus on specific areas without impacting surrounding tissues. Body contouring also offers these benefits:
- No incisions, anesthesia, or downtime
- Comfortable, non-invasive treatment process
- Minimal interruption to daily activity
- Gradual results that develop between sessions
Infrared Sauna Sessions
Infrared sauna sessions use radiant heat to warm your body directly. This dry heat penetrates deeply into muscles and tissues and encourages detoxification through sweat. Each session can support calorie burning and metabolic activity and can be used to help manage weight and improve overall wellness. Infrared saunas stay at a lower, more tolerable temperature than steam saunas and allow for longer sessions with fewer side effects like dizziness or overheating.
Comfortable, Deep-Heating Detox Support
Sweating is a key process for eliminating stored toxins, and the infrared sauna can enhance this process without placing stress on the body. Infrared light encourages the release of compounds like mercury, lead, and other environmental toxins. Sessions in the infrared sauna can support immune responses and overall cellular health.
Weight and Fat Reduction Support
Each infrared sauna session can help burn up to 600 calories by raising the pulse and increasing metabolic rate. As the body heats up and begins to sweat, stored fat becomes more water-soluble and easier to release. Subcutaneous fat begins to break down as your body temperature rises, and consistent sessions may support better weight control. When combined with smart nutrition and activity habits, this therapy can become a helpful tool for body contouring and weight management, and sessions are priced at $1 per minute.
PHYSIQ Muscle Sculpting
PHYSIQ is a non-invasive treatment that uses a combination of electrical muscle stimulation and deep heating to support body reshaping. Each session uses up to four applicators, so we can treat multiple areas in one appointment. Treatments are quiet, quick, and comfortable.
Dual Technology for More Control
PHYSIQ uses deep heat (super luminescent diode matrix, or SDM) and electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) to create two distinct effects in one session. The heat targets the outer layer of tissue while the EMS contracts the underlying muscles. These alternating phases are timed and controlled using a system that adjusts energy levels automatically.
Treatment Experience and Scheduling
Non-invasive body contouring with PHYSIQ takes around 30 to 60 minutes, depending on how many zones are treated. The applicators are secured with straps, so you can stay relaxed throughout the session without needing to reposition. Most patients benefit from a series of treatments spaced about one week apart. There is no need for special preparation or recovery, but your skin may feel a little warm after your session.
Venus Legacy™ Body Contouring & Skin Tightening
Venus Legacy uses multi-polar radiofrequency combined with pulsed electromagnetic fields to gently heat the skin and underlying tissue. Treatments are non-invasive and can improve elasticity while refining body contours. Each session is comfortable and requires no recovery.
How Venus Legacy Works
Venus Legacy uses radiofrequency energy and pulsed electromagnetic fields to gently heat the skin and the tissue just below it. This type of energy helps improve circulation and can support a more toned, firm appearance in treated areas. The device also uses a gentle suction feature called VariPulse™, which helps bring the skin closer to the applicator so the heat is delivered more evenly. The treatment does not damage the surface of the skin and feels similar to a warm massage. It can be used on areas like the abdomen, thighs, arms, buttocks, and neck.
What to Expect from Treatment
Most Venus Legacy sessions last between 30 and 45 minutes, depending on the size and number of areas being treated. The treatment feels like a warm massage, with a rolling motion and gentle suction as the device moves across the skin. Numbing is not needed for this treatment. A full series typically includes six to eight treatments, spaced about one week apart.
