In this blog, we’ll focus specifically on body contouring in Waterloo, talking about the body contouring treatments we offer and how you can find the perfect choice for your individual needs.
What Is Body Contouring?
Body contouring uses minimally invasive and noninvasive treatments to target aesthetics concerns all over your body, including sagging skin, wrinkles, cellulite, and stubborn fat.
What body contouring treatments do you offer?
We offer a number of body contouring treatments here at SPRY, including both minimally invasive and noninvasive methods. These treatments specifically target areas of stubborn fat, sagging skin, and poorly toned muscle. By addressing these concerns, we can help you achieve a more toned, sculpted physique without painful or invasive procedures like surgery.
Morpheus8 Body
Morpheus8 is a treatment that combines both microneedling and radiofrequency (RF) energy. On their own, both radiofrequency and microneedling are proven, effective treatments. And when we combine them, they multiply the benefits for your skin many times over.
Morephus8 works by first creating micro-channels in your epidermis (the surface layer of your skin) using the microneedles. Then, it uses radiofrequency to generate heat, pushing the heat deep into your dermis (the structural layer of your skin), where collagen and elastin are made. Collagen and elastin are 2 proteins your body naturally produces to rebuild and strengthen the cellular structure of your skin. By increasing the production of these 2 proteins, you can improve wrinkles, fine lines, scarring, and many other aesthetic concerns.
| Number of Sessions | Downtime | Treatment Length | Numbing Required? | Duration of Results |
| 1 to 4 | 1 to 2 days | 30 to 60 minutes | Yes | 12 to 18 months |
Pre-Care Instructions
- Avoid exposing your skin to direct sunlight for 1 week before treatment. Instead, wear a minimum of SPF 30 sunscreen when going outside.
- Stop using topical retinoids and other abrasive skincare products 48 hours before treatment.
- Do not use any blood-thinning medications or supplements like aspirin for at least 48 hours before your treatment.
Post-Care Instructions
- Continue wearing a minimum of SPF 30 sunscreen when going outside for at least a week after receiving Morpheus8.
- Avoid strenuous activity for about 48 hours after treatment.
- Do not consume alcohol, caffeine, or tobacco products for at least 48 hours.
Emtone
Emtone is a noninvasive treatment for body contouring in Waterloo that focuses on melting the fat that causes cellulite. Excess cells in the fat chambers under your skin push against the surface of the skin from below, causing the dimpling of cellulite.
Emtone works by combining radiofrequency and targeted pressure energy (TPE) to create heat. This heat melts the fat cells pushing up against the surface of your skin. Your body then processes these cells and removes them naturally through your lymphatic drainage system. As an added benefit, the heat of treatment also works to tighten the connective tissue under your skin, also addressing mild skin laxity.
| Number of Sessions | Downtime | Treatment Length | Numbing Required? | Duration of Results |
| 4 | None | 5 to 30 minutes | None | 6 to 12 months |
Pre-Care Instructions
- Make sure to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water at least 2 days before receiving Emtone.
- Shave the treatment area the day before your appointment.
- Arrive to your appointment with clean skin.
Post-Care Instructions
- Refrain from vigorous exercise for at least 2 days following your Emtone treatment.
- Continue drinking plenty of water. We typically recommend drinking half your body weight in ounces each day.
- Follow a regular exercise regimen and eat a balanced diet to prevent the growth of fat cells in the treatment area.
Emsculpt NEO
Emsculpt NEO is one of our most popular treatments for body contouring in Waterloo. It is a noninvasive treatment that both improves muscle mass and encourages fat loss. Patients can increase muscle mass by up to 25% and lose up to 30% of fat in the treatment area. With Emsculpt NEO, you can shrink your waist circumference by 5.9 cm, which is the equivalent of one dress size.
Emsculpt NEO combines radiofrequency and HIFEM (high-intensity focused electromagnetic) energy to build muscle and melt fat. The radiofrequency generates heat, which radiates into the subdermal layers of skin where fat lives. This damages and destroys the fat cells while leaving the rest of your cells unharmed, and your body will naturally flush them out using your lymphatic drainage system.
At the same time, the HIFEM energy uses small electric pulses to stimulate up to 20,000 muscle contractions, strengthening your muscles and increasing muscle mass for a more sculpted physique.
| Number of Sessions | Downtime | Treatment Length | Numbing Required? | Duration of Results |
| 4 to 6 | None | 30 minute | None | 6 to 12 months |
Pre-Care Instructions
- Establish and maintain healthy habits like exercising regularly and eating a balanced diet.
- Remove any jewelry, piercings, and other metal from your body. Let your provider know if you have any metal or electronic implants (including an IUD).
- Avoid alcohol, tobacco, and caffeine for at least 48 hours before receiving Emsculpt NEO.
Post-Care Instructions
- Drink plenty of water and eat protein after your Emsculpt NEO session.
- Avoid vigorous activity for at least 48 hours after Emsculpt NEO.
- Keep following your healthy habits after treatment.
Exion Body
Exion is a revolutionary 4-in-1 platform that can help address many concerns. Exion body specifically focuses on improving stubborn areas of fat and sagging skin. What makes it a popular treatment for body sculpting in Waterloo is that it works well by itself, but it can also complement many of our other offered treatments to enhance and prolong your results.
Exion body uses both radiofrequency and ultrasound to generate heat deep within your dermis. This increases your body’s natural production of collagen and elastin, helping to repair and reinforce your skin’s cellular structure. This heat also targets the fat cells within the subcutaneous tissue, causing the cells to die so your system can naturally flush them out. As a result, Exion body can smooth areas of stubborn fat and tighten skin for dual benefit.
| Number of Sessions | Downtime | Treatment Length | Numbing Required? | Duration of Results |
| 6 | None | 30 to 60 minutes | None | 6 to 12 months |
Pre-Care Instruction
- Protect your skin from UV exposure by wearing a minimum of SPF 30 sunscreen whenever going outside the week before your Exion appointment.
- Do not undergo any peel or laser treatments at least 2 weeks before receiving Exion.
- Arrive to your appointment with clean skin—do not wear any lotions, perfumes, or oils.
Post-Care Instructions
- Avoid laser or peel treatments for at least 4 weeks following your appointment for Exion body.
- Make sure to hydrate well in the days following your appointment.
- Wait until at least 7 days after treatment to resume using production using retinol and other exfoliating agents.
DiamondGlow Body
DiamondGlow is known as one of the most effective facials available, but did you know it can also treat the skin of your body? DiamondGlow is a noninvasive 3-in-1 option for body contouring in Waterloo that rejuvenates the skin all over your body and can address fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity.
DiamondGlow works by using 6 interchangeable diamond tips to gently exfoliate your skin, removing the dead skin cells from your epidermis. Then, the device uses light suction to remove dirt and debris from your pores, providing a deeper clean than other facials. Then, we finish your treatment by applying condition-specific serums to the treatment area, hydrating and nourishing your skin.
| Number of Sessions | Downtime | Treatment Length | Numbing Required? | Duration of Results |
| 1 per month | None | 30 to 60 minutes | None | 4 to 6 weeks |
