Body Contouringin Miami, Brickell

About Body Contouring

Non-surgical body contouring has evolved past simple fat freezing. Our protocols pair fat reduction with muscle building and skin tightening — because real-world bodies need all three to look sculpted. We start with a body-focused consultation to map your goals (abdomen, thighs, arms, glutes, flanks) and build a plan that combines the right devices in the right order.

What Is Body Sculpting?

Body sculpting is a non-invasive method for reducing fat and enhancing muscle definition. Adult men and women who are looking to reduce abdominal circumference and eliminate stubborn body fat are candidates for non-surgical body contouring at Miami Skin Spa. Most people have an ideal body type they want to achieve, and sometimes it's not always possible to achieve this physique through diet and exercise alone — perhaps there's not enough time in the day to prepare meals for a strict diet, or to spend two hours a day doing cardio.

Body sculpting will help you bring out the hard work you put in day after day. It involves selecting specific areas of the body and treating them in a variety of ways, effectively contouring the body. Treatments can be both surgical and non-surgical, but non-surgical options can be equally as effective when matched to the right candidate.

What Is Non-Surgical Body Sculpting?

If you've landed here, odds are you've probably heard of liposuction or tummy tucks. Surgical body sculpting is an extreme and invasive treatment designed to remove large amounts of fat immediately. These treatments usually involve significant amounts of recovery time, and time spent underneath the operating knife.

Non-surgical body sculpting treatments offer similar results over time. Although not as extreme as surgery, these treatments all involve destroying fat cells and allowing the body to naturally remove them. Popular treatments include CoolSculpting, EMSculpt, and our personal favorite for stubborn fat — the truSculpt iD.

At Miami Skin Spa, located in the heart of Brickell, we offer advanced body contouring and sculpting treatments to help you achieve the body of your dreams.

Whether you're looking to enhance your physique, improve muscle definition, or eliminate stubborn fat, our personalized treatment plans will help you reach your goals with minimal downtime.

Benefits of Body Sculpting

At Miami Skin Spa, our body sculpting treatments provide a variety of benefits, including:

How Does Body Sculpting Work?

Body sculpting works by destroying fat cells in a given area. Not all patients are ideal candidates for this treatment. For the best body sculpting results, we recommend a patient have at least 0.75–1 cm of subcutaneous fat. This allows the laser treatment to be absorbed in the subcutaneous fat layer evenly and safely. If the patient is too lean for body sculpting, there won't be any fat to destroy.

As with every procedure, everyone has their individual goals and results. truSculpt iD is FDA-cleared and clinically proven to provide an average of 24% fat reduction in the treated area, and our patients have experienced excellent outcomes.

How Does Body Contouring Work?

Using advanced medical technologies, body contouring treatments at Miami Skin Spa deliver impressive results by stimulating muscle growth and fat loss.

Both treatments are quick, non-invasive, and involve no downtime, allowing you to resume your daily activities immediately.

Does truSculpt iD Really Work?

truSculpt iD makes use of monopolar RF technology to selectively target fat cells, therapeutically heating them until the fat cells are destroyed and naturally absorbed by the body.

Does truSculpt iD Tighten Skin?

The truSculpt iD body sculpting treatment is also a great way to tighten the skin on the targeted area. While we usually recommend Morpheus8 or Morpheus8 Body for dedicated skin tightening, body sculpting with truSculpt iD has shown to be effective for adding firmness as fat is reduced.

What Is truSculpt iD?

truSculpt iD is the gold-standard non-surgical body contouring device. Unlike liposuction or cryolysis, the iD uses Cutera's proprietary technology as a non-surgical alternative to target fat loss.

The iD's competitive edge lies in its ability to deliver targeted adipose removal in a uniform, low-energy environment — permanently destroying fat cells all the way to the muscle wall. In comparison to CoolSculpting and liposuction, the iD only requires one 15-minute treatment to start showing results.

truSculpt iD allows you to personalize your ideal body with a revolutionary non-surgical body sculpting treatment. Its comfortable, safe, and effective technology is clinically proven to permanently eliminate fat cells in stubborn areas around your abdomen and flanks.

Does truSculpt iD Hurt?

Not really — it feels like a hot stone massage. Each treatment only takes about 15 minutes and they are very well tolerated. Most patients describe the feeling as similar to a hot stone massage, as there are multiple applicators that gradually heat up over the course of the 15-minute treatment.

The technology is designed to evenly distribute energy delivered to the fat pocket while keeping the skin at a comfortable temperature. With the help of a gel applicator, the iD keeps the skin much colder than the layer of fat underneath. Our team is with you during the treatment so you can provide feedback, and we can quickly adjust the temperature if anything feels uncomfortable.

Is truSculpt iD Safe?

The truSculpt iD has been designed from a patient-first mentality. This means that no effort has been spared in making sure that it is a comfortable treatment for the patient.

There's typically no downtime after the procedure, although patients may feel slightly uncomfortable during the treatment. Side effects may include redness, swelling, and tenderness in the area post-treatment. These side effects almost always resolve themselves after a few hours at most. During the procedure our nurses will be monitoring you to make sure there are no adverse reactions.

Can This Treatment Be Used on Any Skin Type?

Yes — truSculpt iD can be performed on all skin types and over tattoos. Post-procedure, the treatment area will be warm and flushed for less than one hour. Patients may experience mild sensitivity to the touch for a few days.

Is truSculpt FDA-Approved?

truSculpt iD body sculpting is by far one of the most effective and safest treatment options currently available in the non-surgical body sculpting field. It is fully FDA compliant, with the procedure itself FDA-cleared since 2019. Since then, it has won multiple awards, including the Best Body Sculpting Procedure award in Aesthetic Everything 2020.

Before any treatment we perform, we require a consultation with our nurses. Our nurses are highly specialized individuals trained to screen patients before they undergo any procedure. Body sculpting uses heat to induce a natural process, so the risk is very low compared to surgical methods. Patients with weak kidneys or livers may not be ideal candidates for body sculpting, as the treatment increases the stress placed on these two organs — which is one reason we require an in-person consultation before booking.

Are truSculpt iD Results Permanent?

truSculpt iD, like all body sculpting treatments, is highly dependent on what the patient does outside of the treatment room. As long as a patient maintains their weight and activity level, they will keep their results.

If you have an accident and can no longer work out, and proceed to double your caloric intake, you will produce new fat cells and gain weight. Typically, fat cells enlarge or shrink, but studies have shown that fat cells can also be created anew. On average, a single truSculpt iD treatment destroys or shrinks fat cells in the treatment area by an average of around 25%.

We can only provide the treatment — it is up to the patient to make the necessary healthy choices thereafter to keep results looking their best.

How Long Does It Take to See Results from truSculpt iD?

Results are visible after just one treatment, with maximum results seen after 12 weeks. Optimal results typically present themselves within 8–12 weeks. Additional treatments may be required to achieve the personalized results you desire.

How Many Treatments of truSculpt iD?

Body sculpting usually requires 1–4 sessions. Some devices like the award-winning truSculpt iD only require one, but more can be done if needed. truSculpt iD has different module sizes, each suited to a specific area of the body, and they require different numbers of sessions:

In theory, there is no limit to the number of iD treatments a person can do, as after 2–3 procedures dramatic fat loss will have occurred. truSculpt iD treatments should typically be spaced out by at least 30 days, but four months is ideal. This is to make sure the treatment area is healthy again, since we are literally destroying fat cells in order to treat it.

To summarize, the truSculpt iD can treat multiple areas in as little as one 15-minute session. Maximum results are visible after 8–12 weeks. Additional treatments should be scheduled at least 12 weeks apart to achieve the desired personalized results. Our experience is that truSculpt iD also works well alongside other non-invasive procedures — it can be used to treat or further treat areas that are not responsive to other body sculpting techniques.

How Long Does It Take to Sculpt Your Body?

Today's non-invasive body sculpting is much quicker than past invasive body sculpting surgeries, which could take hours under the knife and weeks afterward to recover. At Miami Skin Spa, a full treatment session would not take longer than an hour and a half — without the consultation.

Depending on the patient's needs or requests, we use a variety of machines. For example, if a patient wants total body recomposition, we would combine truSculpt iD for fat reduction with muscle sculpting or Emsculpt NEO for muscle definition.

The truSculpt iD offers visible fat reduction after just 15 minutes in a specific area. Clinically proven to be safe and effective, it uses heat-based technology to destroy fat cells permanently. The body then naturally expels the destroyed fat cells over time. After the treatment, it can take the body up to three months to fully rid itself of the destroyed fat cells, but optimal results begin appearing after about 2–3 weeks. On average, most individuals lose about 24% of fat cells in a given area.

For muscle building, one full session can take around 30–45 minutes and treat multiple areas at a time. A full regimen typically takes 4–6 sessions, with optimal results appearing about a month after the treatment regimen is completed. These devices are designed to tone and tighten specific body parts, especially to provide a shredded, ripped look to an already fit individual.

Although most men and women are satisfied with outcomes after one full treatment regimen, many people opt for more to further sculpt the body, improving the shape and contour. While we don't specifically market weight loss, our treatments can be used to provide patients the shape and definition they desire.

How Much Does Body Sculpting Cost?

The cost of body sculpting depends on the type of body sculpting treatment you choose. Some treatments like CoolSculpting can appear cheaper on a per-session basis, but they often require multiple treatments to achieve the same effects as truSculpt iD. CoolSculpting also requires downtime, which can cost you several days of not being able to work and earn money. Overall, truSculpt iD is one of the most cost-efficient procedures in this category.

Body sculpting pricing is dependent on the treatment area and its size. Once we do an assessment, we can put together a customized treatment plan with pricing. We always suggest you come in for a free consultation so we can perform a quick assessment and answer any questions you might have. All our treatments are customized to your specific body size and goals.

Is Body Sculpting Worth It?

Body sculpting should be seen as an investment — an investment in yourself. Take price out of the equation for a moment: you understand how the treatment works, and you can see the results experienced by other patients. At Miami Skin Spa we invest in the absolute highest-grade technology in order to minimize downtime, provide the best and most effective treatment possible, and keep our clients happy.

What Is the Cost of truSculpt iD?

Costs may vary depending on a patient's needs, but body sculpting with truSculpt iD typically starts in the range of around $2,400 per treatment area. This is consistent with the national average and prices may vary by region. The best way to get an accurate quote is to book a complimentary consultation so we can assess your goals and the size of the treatment area.

The Procedure

Recovery from Body Sculpting

One of the greatest advantages of our body contouring treatments is the lack of downtime. After a session, you may experience slight soreness, similar to what you'd feel after an intense workout. However, most of our clients return to their regular activities immediately after the procedure. Over the following weeks, your body naturally eliminates fat cells, and you'll notice a gradual improvement in the treated areas.

Who Is a Candidate for Body Sculpting?

The monopolar radiofrequency technology in truSculpt iD allows us to customize treatments for each patient, targeting the areas they want to address. Clinical studies showed patients achieved an average of 24% permanent fat reduction in the treated area. truSculpt was designed to measure temperature directed to the fat throughout the procedure to assure that fat disruption occurs while keeping the temperature in the skin constant. We would never treat a patient unless we knew they were a proper candidate and that the treatment would deliver their desired results — and we'll always tell you if a different treatment, or medical weight loss, is a better fit for your goals.
