Partial Area Slimming

Regional slimming and non-surgical body contouring with CoolSculpting, EmSculpt NEO and Exion Body. Effective, comfortable and clinically proven shaping

Regional slimming and body contouring treatments have become the new frontier of modern aesthetic medicine. These non-surgical technologies make it possible to target stubborn, diet-resistant fat deposits and redefine body lines without anesthesia or recovery time. While traditional liposuction physically removes fat through surgery, today’s medical aesthetics achieve similar results through controlled energy delivery — cooling, heating, or muscle stimulation. At our clinic, three advanced systems stand out: CoolSculpting, EmSculpt NEO, and Exion Body. Each represents a unique scientific approach to localized fat reduction, skin tightening, and muscle toning, designed to help you achieve a firmer, smoother, and more balanced silhouette.

What Is Regional Slimming (Body Contouring)?

Regional slimming refers to the selective reduction of stubborn fat that accumulates in specific body areas such as the abdomen, hips, thighs, arms, or under the chin. While general weight loss affects the whole body, regional fat reduction focuses on contouring where the body stores excess adipose tissue. Non-invasive body contouring treatments such as CoolSculpting, EmSculpt NEO, and Exion Body break down fat cells, stimulate muscle fibers, and boost collagen production — all without surgery. These procedures are ideal for patients close to their ideal body weight who wish to refine rather than drastically reduce their figure.

How Are Non-Surgical Body Contouring Treatments Performed?

Each treatment targets localized fat and skin laxity using different energy sources. CoolSculpting relies on cryolipolysis — controlled cooling — to freeze fat cells. EmSculpt NEO combines radiofrequency and electromagnetic stimulation to simultaneously burn fat and strengthen muscles. Exion Body merges ultrasound and radiofrequency to heat and break down fat while also tightening the skin. All three treatments are outpatient procedures performed comfortably at the clinic. No needles, no anesthesia, and no downtime are required. Patients can return to daily activities right after treatment, making them convenient alternatives to surgical body shaping.

CoolSculpting: Controlled Cooling for Fat Cell Elimination

CoolSculpting is one of the most popular non-invasive regional slimming systems worldwide. It uses cryolipolysis, a patented cooling technology that freezes fat cells without harming the skin. During the session, the applicator gently suctions the treatment area into a cup, lowering the temperature of the fat layer to around -8°C to -10°C. This cold exposure causes fat cells to crystallize and gradually break down through the body’s natural metabolic processes.

Each CoolSculpting session lasts between 35 and 75 minutes, depending on the applicator and the treated area. The procedure is pain-free, and the skin is protected with gel pads to prevent discomfort. Results begin to appear after two weeks and continue improving over two to three months. Clinical studies show a reduction of 25%–40% of localized fat in a single session. CoolSculpting can target areas such as the abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, double chin, back, and even bra-line folds. It is equally effective for both women and men who seek localized fat reduction and body contouring without surgery.

EmSculpt NEO: Dual Energy for Fat Burning and Muscle Building

EmSculpt NEO takes non-surgical body contouring to a new level by combining radiofrequency (RF) energy and high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM®) technology. The RF component heats fat cells to around 42–45°C, initiating apoptosis — the natural breakdown and removal of damaged fat cells. Simultaneously, HIFEM® induces thousands of powerful muscle contractions per minute, mimicking an intensive workout that cannot be achieved voluntarily.

Each 30-minute session stimulates deep muscle remodeling and burns fat simultaneously. A standard protocol includes four sessions spaced 5–10 days apart. After the first treatment, many patients notice improved tone; by 4–8 weeks post-treatment, clinical results show an average of 30% reduction in subcutaneous fat and 25% increase in muscle mass. This makes EmSculpt NEO especially beneficial for the abdomen, buttocks, thighs, and arms, improving not only the body’s shape but also its strength and posture. Mild muscle soreness may occur after treatment, similar to post-exercise fatigue, but it resolves naturally.

Exion Body: Next-Generation RF + Ultrasound Combination

Exion Body is the newest innovation in regional fat reduction and skin tightening. The device combines radiofrequency and ultrasound energy in a single handpiece, enabling deep and precise heat delivery even to areas traditionally resistant to treatment. The ultrasound waves focus energy within the fat layer, while the RF component enhances skin elasticity by stimulating collagen and elastin production.

This unique combination allows Exion Body to simultaneously destroy fat cells and rejuvenate the skin’s texture. The integrated cooling system ensures surface safety while maintaining optimal heat in the targeted tissue. The system can be applied to 14 different body zones, including the abdomen, flanks, upper arms, thighs, and under-buttock folds. Most treatment plans involve 4–6 sessions scheduled once or twice weekly. Each session lasts 20–60 minutes depending on area size. Visible improvement in firmness and smoothness can be noticed after the second session, progressing over several weeks.

Who Is an Ideal Candidate for Regional Slimming Treatments?

These treatments are best suited for individuals at or near their ideal body weight who struggle with stubborn bulges that resist diet and exercise. Whether it’s the lower abdomen, flanks, inner thighs, or upper arms, localized fat reduction can be achieved safely and effectively. It is important to note that these treatments are not weight-loss methods; they are designed for body shaping and contouring. Maintaining stable weight after treatment ensures long-lasting, harmonious results.

When Do Results Appear?

Each technology works through natural biological processes — fat cell breakdown, muscle strengthening, and collagen stimulation. Therefore, results appear gradually. Early improvements can be seen within the first few weeks, while full effects typically develop between two and three months post-treatment. Continued improvement in skin tone and firmness can persist for several months, especially with Exion Body or combination therapy plans.

Comfort, Recovery, and Safety

One of the key advantages of non-surgical regional slimming is comfort. None of these treatments require anesthesia or downtime. CoolSculpting patients may feel a cold pulling sensation at the start; EmSculpt NEO feels like an intense workout; Exion Body provides a warm sensation with surface cooling. Mild redness, tingling, or muscle fatigue may occur temporarily but usually resolves quickly. Patients can resume normal activities, including exercise, on the same day. All devices used in our clinic are FDA-approved and clinically validated for safety and efficacy.

Combining Treatments for Enhanced Results

Combining devices often provides the most comprehensive results. For example, CoolSculpting can debulk resistant fat pockets, EmSculpt NEO can enhance underlying muscle tone, and Exion Body can tighten the overlying skin. By integrating these technologies in a personalized plan, we achieve a sculpted, natural-looking contour without surgery. Regular maintenance sessions may further enhance results and prolong their duration.

Most patients notice a difference within a few weeks. Peak results are typically seen between the second and third month as fat cells continue to break down.

Question: Are these treatments painful or invasive?

No. All procedures are non-invasive, well tolerated, and require no downtime. Mild warmth or muscle contractions are normal sensations during treatment.

Question: Can I combine CoolSculpting, EmSculpt NEO, and Exion Body? 

Yes. Combining treatments often enhances fat reduction, muscle tone, and skin tightness, delivering more comprehensive body contouring results.

Question: Are these treatments suitable for men?

Absolutely. Men commonly choose these therapies to target abdominal fat, love handles, or to define muscle tone without surgery.
