Working Out Isn’t The Only Option for Toning Your Body

June 1, 2022

If you are tired of doing endless push-ups, crunches, and cardio only to produce lacklustre results, or if you have stubborn fat deposits that won’t go away, then body sculpting is the perfect option for you!


What is Body Sculpting?


This
skin tightening treatment is a non-surgical, non-invasive procedure that encourages the reshaping or contouring of your body. It is designed to firm your skin and reduce signs of aging using infrared lasers.


Body sculpting works by heating up the collagen in your skin, causing it to constrict. You can also freeze the fat cells, which ultimately destroys them. Body sculpting can be used on the arms, back, abdomen, thighs, and hips (love handles) to reduce fat and sculpt your body.


It’s a quick treatment that requires little to no downtime, does not require any anesthesia (or incisions), leaves no scars, and has few to no side effects. 


Who is a Good Candidate for This Treatment?


Many people - both men and women - can benefit from skin tightening treatments. The treatment is helpful for those struggling with stubborn fat deposits. 


Since body sculpting is used for fat loss, not weight loss, you should be close to your ideal weight. The best candidates are those within 10-20 pounds of their ideal weight. 


People of all skin types can rely on this treatment, as the laser will not damage your skin. 

Those with scars in the area or loose skin will not benefit from this treatment. Infections, scars, and open sores need to be avoided when it comes to body sculpting. 


The ideal candidate should wear sunscreen regularly before the treatment. Those who wish to have skin tightening on their face should avoid facial peels or chemical treatments up to one month before the treatment date.


If you are unsure if you are a suitable candidate for body sculpting, book a consultation with Sunswirl Laser & Esthetics. We will review your medical history and discuss your options based on your specific situation.


What Does the Treatment Feel Like?


Generally, you’ll feel a warming or cooling sensation depending on the treatment you receive (some heat the cells, while others freeze the fat cells), and some slight pressure. Overall, the treatment is pain-free, but you may feel some discomfort depending on your pain tolerance.


What Can I Expect Before and After the Treatment?


Before the treatment, you’ll meet with the specialist to review your goals and medical history and determine whether or not this treatment is appropriate for you. The area will be examined, measured, and photographed to obtain body sculpting before and after photos.


There are many different types of body contouring treatments available, but none of them should hurt. However, depending on your level of pain tolerance, you may feel some discomfort (but it should be minimal). You can expect to feel a warming sensation and perhaps some pressure, but the treatment is quick (around 30 minutes or less).


Afterward, you’ll be able to resume your daily activities. There may be some mild side effects including redness, swelling, and tenderness. These will subside after a few days.

Aging is a natural process that beautifully marks our journey through life, but it’s only natural to wish for more youthful, radiant skin. At Sunswirl Laser & Esthetics in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, we believe in empowering you to look and feel your best at every age. One of the most effective ways to achieve this is through advanced anti-aging treatments like Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) and skin tightening. But, what exactly are the benefits of these treatments, and how can they rejuvenate your skin? Let’s dive in. Understanding the Aging Process Before exploring the treatments, it’s crucial to understand what happens to our skin as we age. Over time, collagen and elastin, the proteins responsible for skin’s firmness and elasticity, diminish. This leads to fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin. Moreover, sun exposure, lifestyle, and pollution can accelerate aging, resulting in pigmentation issues like age spots, uneven tone, and redness. IPL Therapy: Revitalize Your Complexion IPL therapy is a game-changer for anyone seeking to combat signs of aging effectively. Unlike lasers that rely on a single wavelength of light, IPL sends multiple wavelengths into the skin, targeting various issues simultaneously. Here's how IPL can transform aging skin: 1. Reduces Pigmentation Issues: IPL targets hyperpigmentation, age spots, and sun damage by reaching deeper skin layers to break down the melanin clusters, resulting in a more even skin tone. 2. Improves Skin Texture: The light energy from IPL boosts collagen production, promoting a smoother, more youthful skin texture and reducing the appearance of fine lines. 3. Minimizes Redness: Conditions like rosacea or persistent redness can be significantly reduced with IPL as it targets and diminishes the dilated blood vessels causing the redness. 4. Non-Invasive Treatment: As a non-surgical approach, IPL is a minimally invasive procedure with little to no downtime, allowing you to resume your daily activities quickly. The Science of Skin Tightening At Sunswirl Laser & Esthetics, our skin tightening treatments employ advanced laser technology to rejuvenate your skin from within. Discover the benefits: 1. Enhanced Collagen Production: Skin tightening uses infrared laser energy to penetrate the deeper layers of your skin, stimulating collagen growth and improving the skin’s firmness and elasticity. 2. Smooths Fine Lines and Wrinkles: By enhancing collagen, skin tightening reduces the depth of fine lines and wrinkles, giving you a more youthful appearance. 3. Firming Sagging Skin: Laser energy encourages the existing collagen to contract, providing an instant lift to sagging skin on the face and neck. 4. Safe and Effective: With precise targeting, this non-surgical procedure is safe and effective for all skin types and tones, offering remarkable anti-aging results. Combining IPL and Skin Tightening for Optimal Results For those seeking comprehensive skin rejuvenation, combining IPL and skin tightening yields synergistic effects. By addressing both pigmentation and texture with IPL, and enhancing skin elasticity and firmness with laser skin tightening, you can achieve a harmonious, youthful complexion. Post-Treatment Care for Long-Lasting Results After undergoing IPL and skin tightening treatments at Sunswirl Laser & Esthetics, it’s essential to maintain your rejuvenated skin with the following tips: 1. Consistent Sunscreen Use: Protect your skin from further sun damage by applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily. 2. Hydration: Keep your skin well-hydrated with quality moisturizers to maintain its suppleness. 3. Healthy Lifestyle: A balanced diet rich in antioxidants, regular exercise, and adequate sleep contribute significantly to your skin health. Why Choose Sunswirl Laser & Esthetics?
