What Is Body Contouring?

Body contouring is a range of procedures that reshape and redefine the body by removing excess fat, and tightening tissues and skin. If you’re looking to improve your shape and achieve a more contoured physique, body contouring can be a great way to reach your goals. Body contouring procedures are designed to improve the shape and proportions of your body by eliminating unwanted fat and tightening loose skin. 

Body contouring can be used to improve your body’s shape by removing stubborn fat pockets and by tightening skin laxity, things that can't be addressed through diet and exercise alone. By removing fat and tightening the skin, body contouring can create a more evenly proportioned physique. It can be used to help reshape the body and create natural, beautiful curves. 

Body contouring treatments are generally minimally invasive or non-invasive and have little downtime. Nonsurgical treatments for body contouring cause apoptosis and lipolysis, resulting in the non-surgical elimination of unwanted fat. These nonsurgical radiofrequency-based treatments contour the body by emitting thermal energy that heats up sub-dermal tissues to stimulate collagen production while also melting unwanted fat from the body. After your treatment, the natural processes in your body will metabolize and eliminate dead fat cells.

Body contouring can be accomplished in a variety of ways. At Monaco MedSpa we have tried them all from A to Z and it has become quite clear to us that the brand new Morpheus8 3D Body Device is far superior, in our opinion, to any of the contemporary body contouring devices on the market.

What Is The Morpheus8 3D Body Device?

The Morpheus8 3D Body Device is a highly sophisticated, state of the art, fractional radiofrequency energy device which, in the right hands, can be customized to perform many different functions that can tighten the skin, smooth scars, and eliminate unwanted fat cells. The incredible versatility of this revolutionary device, combined with the artistically gifted technical skills of Dr. Jeannette Barrueta, allows us to achieve incredible body contouring results.

Common areas treated with the Morpheus8 3D Body Device are the abdomen/stomach, "spare tire”, "muffin top", mons pubis upper vaginal area, flank/back, "bat wings", arms, bra area, knees, buttocks and thighs. It also treats cellulite and stretch marks. 

How Does The Morpheus8 3D Body Device Work?

The Morpheus8 3D Body Device is a microneedling with fractionated radiofrequency device. Dozens of tiny, hair-thin electronic micropins deliver rejuvenating energy pulsations at various depths and energy levels, instantaneously tightening and resurfacing the upper layers of skin, while melting away the deeper layers beneath the skin to smooth out any lumpy fat cells that keep you from looking your best. At the right depth and energy level, it melts fat and can significantly reduce the amount of fat in a particular area.

At shallow depths it can resurface the uppermost layers of the skin, treating scars and stretchmarks. At moderate depths it reaches the dermis and induces fibroblasts to create new dermis (elastin, collagen and dermal proteins), giving your tissues a rejuvenating, lifting effect. At higher energies and deeper depths, it eliminates unwanted fat underneath the dermis, thereby contouring the targeted area, getting rid of fat cells there and reducing cellulite. The Morpheus8 3D Body Contouring Device is a truly remarkable device that can be tailored to uniquely address your particular concerns and problem areas. 

How Many Sessions Are Recommended?

For fat reduction and body contouring, especially in the buttocks, thighs, stomach and back, an unlimited amount of sessions can be performed until desired results are obtained. Each treatment session should be 3 to 6 weeks apart. The number of treatment sessions are specifically tailored to obtain optimal results and vary per individual and area treated.

How Fast Can I See Results?

For fat reduction and body contouring, visible results can be seen typically after 4 to 6 weeks. Improvements continue up to 12 weeks after treatment.

What Is The Benefit Of Fractionated Energy?

Fractionated energy is a scientifically proven method used to remodel and rebuild collagen. It uses a matrix of micropins to deliver fractionated energy into the deep layers of the skin, renewing it with almost no downtime. At higher energies and depths, the heat produced by the fractionated radiofrequency energy eliminates fat cells.

Can Anyone Use The Morpheus8 3D Body Device?

Yes, it can be used on all skin types. Even darker skin tones can be treated.

What Is The Post-Procedure Care?

Patients should moisturize the treatment area with the recommended creams and avoid direct sun exposure, such as boating or sunbathing, for at least 21 days after the treatment. Post-procedure creams will be recommended based on the patient’s skin type and quality. It is also recommended that patients use a broad spectrum sunscreen every day for 30 days after the treatment for best results. Detailed pre- and post-treatment instructions are provided prior to your appointment.
