Non Invasive Body Contouring
Non-invasive body contouring treatments are becoming popular alternatives to otherwise invasive and painful surgical procedures, which are associated with lengthy recovery times. Non-surgical body sculpting is the process of reducing stubborn fat, skin laxity, and cellulite that are not responsive to regular exercise and a healthy diet. Some of the most popular non-invasive body contouring procedures, according to the American Society of Dermatology, include CoolSculpting, VelaShape, and SculpSure. These treatments can easily be combined with other minimally invasive procedures, such as Kybella, QWO, and Thermage, for optimal results. Dr. Michele Green is a board-certified dermatologist and expert in non-surgical body contouring in NYC and will work with you to achieve your ideal non-surgical body sculpting results that leave you looking and feeling like the best version of yourself.
Before non-invasive body contouring gained FDA approval, little could be done about stubborn pockets of excess fat, skin laxity, and cellulite besides changing our lifestyle or undergoing painful and risky surgical procedures. Despite regular exercise and healthy eating habits, many individuals still struggle with unwanted stubborn pockets of fat, loose skin, and cellulite. Non-invasive body contouring treatments provide patients with safe and effective techniques for intervention that can target specific areas of concern for a slimmer and more defined appearance. These procedures do not require any downtime and still provide similar and effective body-shaping results. In the last decades, non-invasive body contouring has grown to be a one-billion-dollar industry, with millions of patients around the world benefitting from state-of-the-art body contouring technologies.
Dr. Michele Green was among the first dermatologists in New York City to incorporate non-invasive body contouring procedures such as CoolSculpting, QWO, and Kybella into her private practice, located in the Upper East Side neighborhood of Manhattan. As an internationally renowned expert in the field of cosmetic dermatology, Dr. Green has over 25 years of experience providing her patients from around the globe with their ideal body sculpting results. Castle Connolly, Super Doctors, and New York Magazine consistently identify Dr. Green as one of New York’s best physicians for her holistic approach and ‘less is more’ philosophy when it comes to rejuvenation. When you consult with Dr. Green for non-invasive body contouring, she will work with you to determine which unique combination of treatments is best suited to addressing your specific concerns and delivering your optimal aesthetic results.
What is Non-Invasive Body Contouring for Fat Reduction?
Body contouring procedures can be divided into either surgical or non-surgical options. Non-invasive body contouring treatment refers to a set of procedures that can remove excess skin or fat from any part of the body, such as the abdomen, chin, upper arms, inner and outer thighs, love handles, and elsewhere that cannot otherwise be reduced through diet and exercise without the need for incisions. Surgical procedures for body sculpting include traditional plastic surgery operations that plastic surgeons must conduct. These options include liposuction, breast augmentation, tummy tuck, and facelift, among other procedures to contour the body. Non-surgical/non-invasive options are safely performed by a board-certified dermatologist, like Dr. Michele Green in NYC, and include CoolSculpting, SculpSure, VelaShape, and Kybella.
In general, non-invasive body contouring procedures use one of four main principles to remove excess fat: cryolipolysis, laser lipolysis, radiofrequency lipolysis, or injection lipolysis. Cryolipolysis utilizes controlled cooling and freezing temperatures to target and destroy fat cells. Laser lipolysis utilizes high heat and laser energy to target fat cells. Radiofrequency lipolysis also uses heat as well as ultrasound technology to target fat cells. Injection lipolysis involves injecting a synthetic version of deoxycholic acid into a treatment area to target fat cells. These treatment methods will be discussed in further detail in the following sections.
It is important to note that these non-invasive procedures are not intended to be weight loss solutions. Additionally, patients who gain weight after having a non-invasive body contouring procedure may not observe significant body sculpting results since the fat cells that remain in a treatment area following treatment still have the potential to expand. The fat cells that expand essentially fill in the space that was previously occupied by the destroyed fat cells, negating the effects of treatment. Patients should be within 30 pounds of their ideal weight before engaging in any body contouring treatment. Individuals with a body mass index over 30 are unlikely to see significant changes due to the number and size of the fat cells in the treatment areas. For this reason, it is important to have a consultation with an expert, such as Dr. Michele Green in NYC, before undergoing a non-invasive body contouring treatment. Dr. Green will do a full consultation before any CoolSculpting or non-invasive body contouring procedure, as it is very important to determine if you are a good candidate in advance of any cosmetic procedure.
What are the Best Non-Invasive Body Contouring Treatments?
There is a wide range of non-invasive body contouring options available, and it can be difficult to know which would be best suited to help you target your concerns and achieve your cosmetic goals. The best non-invasive body contouring treatments are those that are safe, effective, have little to no downtime, and can precisely target your areas of concern. It would be best to consult with an expert like Dr. Michele Green to see if you would be a good candidate for body contouring and to see which device would give you the best results. Some of the most popular and best treatment options are SculpSure, CoolSculpting, VelaShape, and Kybella injections.

What are the Options for Non-Surgical Body Contouring?
Most non-invasive body contouring options rely on four main principles to reduce or remove stubborn pockets of fat to contour different areas of the body. These principles are 1) cryolipolysis, 2) laser lipolysis, 3) radiofrequency lipolysis, and 4) injection lipolysis.
- Cryolipolysis utilizes freezing temperatures to target and destroy fat cells. CoolSculpting and CoolTone are two procedures that utilize this principle to contour the body. This works because fat freezes at a higher temperature than the skin. The cryolipolysis device cools the fat to a temperature that destroys it while leaving your skin and tissues unharmed. This procedure typically takes about half an hour to an hour and a half, depending on the areas that are targeted, and during that time, about 25% of the fat cells in the area are destroyed. Results usually show up after a few months as your immune system slowly clears out the dead fat cells.
- Laser lipolysis uses a combination of a laser and heat to “melt” fat cells before a liposuction procedure takes place. This procedure allows fat cells to be more effectively vacuumed out of the body while also encouraging elastin and collagen development. Laser lipolysis is just as good as traditional liposuction. It has the added benefit of skin tightening, while with traditional liposuction, the skin over the fat deposits may remain lax or saggy. Medical offices or MedSpas that offer this service usually call it Laser Lipo and may use a device called SmartLipo or iLipo.
- Radiofrequency lipolysis is a procedure that uses radiofrequency (RF) to heat the fat without damaging the surrounding skin. Common devices that use RF technology include Vanquish and VelaShape. These devices are effective in body contouring and reducing subcutaneous fat concentrations in targeted areas. RF also has the added benefit of stimulating collagen and elastin production, tightening the skin as fat cells are destroyed. Other devices, like the UltraShape device, can also utilize ultrasound.
- Injection lipolysis typically utilizes deoxycholic acid, an acid normally found in our bodies and which breaks down and absorbs fat. In the digestive system, deoxycholic acid breaks down fat by destroying the cell membranes. When injected within fat cells, the same thing happens. Kybella injections are the first and only FDA-injectable drug for dissolving and contouring submental fat and reducing the appearance of moderate to severe fat under the skin using deoxycholic acid. Once injected into the fat cells, these cells can no longer store or accumulate fat.
CoolSculpting
CoolSculpting is an FDA-approved, non-invasive body contouring treatment designed for fat reduction in stubborn problem areas for healthy patients. CoolSculpting reduces the fat cells in any treatment area by 25 percent without any side effects. Repeat treatment of the same area shows even greater results with up to a 40 percent decrease in fat cells. This process of fat freezing was originally designed to treat the abdominal area but has since extended its use to treat multiple areas of the body. Some of the most common areas of treatment are the submental area (double chin), love handles, upper arms, inner thighs, outer thighs, bra fat, flanks, back, and abdominal areas.
CoolSculpting uses patented cooling technology to deliver targeted and controlled cooling to specific areas of your body, affecting only fat cells and ensuring no harm occurs to any surrounding tissue or cells. Fat cells freeze at higher temperatures than the surrounding tissue. This process causes the fat bulges to be “frozen,” and the body excretes these fat cells through its natural metabolic process. CoolSculpting causes these fat cells to be slowly metabolized by the lymphatic system, and for this reason, there is no increased skin laxity associated with this treatment. The full results of CoolSculpting can be seen four months after the procedure, but results can be visible within a few weeks.

SculpSure for Body Sculpting
SculpSure is a non-invasive body contouring laser treatment that was FDA-approved in 2015 for fat reduction. Sculpsure uses heat to eliminate excess fat cells in the upper and lower abdominal areas, as well as the flanks (commonly referred to as the love handles). SculpSure uses specific wavelengths to contour the body and works similarly to CoolSculpting, except SculpSure uses heat technology, whereas CoolSculpting relies on cold temperatures to eliminate excess fat. Typically, treatment sessions take around 25 minutes to complete, and patients may require multiple treatments in the same treatment area to achieve their ideal results.
Although CoolSculpting and SculpSure have some similarities, their differences tend to make CoolSculpting a more popular option among patients looking for non-surgical body contouring treatment. The most common side effects of SculpSure include pain associated with heat, blistering, nodules, and swelling. The side effects of CoolSculpting are temporary numbness, redness, tingling, and pain. CoolSculpting has been utilized as a non-invasive, permanent fat reduction treatment since 2005 and is better established with long-term and proven results. It also has unique, specialized applicators that are designed for various areas of the body, from the arms to the flanks to the inner and outer thighs to fat under the chin. SculpSure can only be used for the abdomen and flanks and has less rigorous standards for use when compared to CoolSculpting. For example, practitioners of CoolSculpting must be certified and properly trained, while there is no training program for using SculpSure.
VelaShape
VelaShape® is a non-invasive body-shaping treatment that has been tested in various clinical studies and is FDA-approved to target thigh, buttock, and abdominal fat. The way VelaShape® works is that it uses a combination of two key techniques: infrared light (IR) and bi-polar radiofrequency energy (RF). This energy is combined with vacuum suction and deep-tissue massage. In tandem, these processes cause deep heating within the fat cells and the connecting tissue. Deep heating the underlying dermal collagen fibers and surrounding connective tissue allows for the regeneration of new collagen and elastin, which is stronger, firmer, and more elastic. This new collagen helps improve the skin tone and texture in the treated area.
The suction on the VelaShape brings the skin closer to the energy source in the device. Combined with the deep-tissue massage, it helps to stretch out the stiff fibrous bands under the skin, which contribute to the appearance of cellulite. The radiofrequency and infrared light energies cause deep heating of the fat cells and bring about cellulite reduction by tightening the skin and shrinking fat cells. VelaShape will provide a general smoothing of the area treated, helping to improve the appearance of cellulite significantly.
Kybella Injections for Fat Reduction
Kybella is the first and only FDA-injectable drug approved for dissolving and contouring submental fat and reducing the appearance of moderate to severe fat under the chin. The active ingredient in Kybella is a synthetic version of deoxycholic acid. Deoxycholic acid is a substance that occurs naturally in the body and aids in the absorption and breakdown of dietary fat. Kybella injections can quickly, safely, and effectively melt the excess fat that is in the double chin in as little as three treatment sessions. The procedure itself takes only a few minutes with tiny injections of Kybella into the designated treatment area. After some minimal swelling, the fat cells are permanently treated. Each injectable treatment takes 4 to 6 weeks to see the full cosmetic results. After a series of treatment sessions, the submental fat is gone, and a smooth, more youthful neck and jawline are created. Many patients choose to combine their Kybella injections with dermal fillers for the chin and jawline in order to enhance the contour of the submental area.
Kybella has been studied in over 20 clinical trials involving over 2600 patients and has yielded incredible results. As a result of its safety and effectiveness, many patients have expressed interest in using Kybella injections to target other problem areas like the abdomen and thighs. However, Kybella is best used for small areas and may not give the desired results elsewhere where there tend to be more substantial amounts of fat. Dr. Green currently uses Kybella injections to treat submental fat as well as bra fat or excess fat by the armpits. If you are interested in fat removal in other areas, fat reduction treatments like CoolSculpting and VelaShape are better and more effective options.

Frequently Asked Questions & Answers
What are the benefits of non-invasive body contouring?
There are many benefits of non-invasive treatments that contour the body. Some of these benefits include not needing any incisions or anesthesia, little to no downtime, and fewer side effects. Surgical body contouring is typically more costly and can require you to rest and take time off work as you recover. There is also the additional risk of potential complications and excess skin after the fat is removed. With non-invasive body contouring, there are little to no side effects besides minor discomfort and swelling that resolves within a few hours to a few days. Non-invasive body contouring treatments are also much quicker, and the only time you need to set aside is about an hour and a half or less to get the procedure done, and then you are free to resume your normal activities. The results for many popular non-invasive body contouring procedures are gradual but permanent, and many have special technology to tighten your skin as it destroys your fat, so you do not need to worry about saggy skin.
Who is the best candidate for non-surgical body contouring?
Non-invasive procedures are not intended to be weight loss solutions. If you gain weight from the time you get the procedure, it is highly possible that you may not see any difference in your body since the remaining fat cells can expand and fill in the space that was previously occupied by the destroyed fat cells. The best candidate should be in good health and within 10 to 30 pounds of their ideal weight before engaging in any body contouring treatment. Individuals with a body mass index over 30 are unlikely to see significant changes due to the number and size of the fat cells. If you have a localized area of fat that is not responding to diet and exercise, non-surgical body contouring may be for you. It is best to consult with an expert like Dr. Michele Green in her NYC office to see if you would be a good candidate for body contouring.
Does non-invasive body sculpting work?
Yes, non-surgical body sculpting works! Non-invasive body contouring has become incredibly popular because of its high success rates without the need for invasive surgery or recovery time. Millions of people each year have undergone non-invasive body sculpting procedures without any adverse side effects, no downtime, and great results. In 2019, more than eight million CoolSculpting treatments were administered alone. The primary reason for the rise in these types of fat reduction procedures is how safe, quick, and highly effective these treatments are in helping reduce the appearance of fat and slimming the body. There are also many testimonials about how effective and recommended these procedures truly are.
How does non-invasive body contouring work?
Non-invasive body contouring treatments typically rely on one of four types of technology for the removal of unwanted excess fat. Cryolipolysis is a fat-freezing technology that utilizes a cold temperature to destroy fat cells. CoolSculpting is an incredibly popular non-invasive body contouring treatment that relies on cryolipolysis for fat reduction. Laser lipolysis, radiofrequency lipolysis, or injection lipolysis are also highly effective FDA-approved, non-invasive body contouring options. Cryolipolysis utilizes controlled cooling and freezing temperatures to target and destroy fat cells. Laser lipolysis utilizes high heat and laser energy to target fat cells. Radiofrequency lipolysis also uses heat as well as ultrasound technology to target fat cells. Injection lipolysis uses deoxycholic acid to target fat cells. Each type of non-invasive body contouring procedure is associated with a distinct set of benefits. An expert in non-surgical body contouring treatments, such as Dr. Green in NYC, can help you determine which procedure or unique combination of procedures is best suited to addressing your specific needs and delivering your ideal aesthetic results.

Coolsculpting for Non-invasive Fat Reduction
CoolSculpting fat freezing treatment is an excellent non-surgical body contouring treatment option for fat reduction. Dr. Green will often turn to CoolSculpting to reduce pockets of stubborn fat cells that will not decrease with a healthy diet and regular exercise. The treatment works due to the principle that fat cells freeze at a higher temperature than the surrounding tissue. When the CoolSculpting applicator is applied to the treatment area, the cold temperatures emitted freeze the fat cells there, allowing them to be metabolized and eliminated by the body’s natural processes. One CoolSculpting treatment can decrease fat cell concentration by as much as 25%, though Dr. Green often recommends multiple treatments for the best results.
SculpSure for Non-surgical Body Contouring
Similarly to CoolSculpting, SculpSure can be used for non-surgical body contouring and fat reduction. However, unlike CoolSculpting, which uses cold temperatures to freeze fat cells, SculpSure uses heat to reduce fat cells in the treatment area. Between the two treatment options, Dr. Green most frequently turns to CoolSculpting, which is associated with fewer side effects and is a more established treatment option. For increased patient comfort, Dr. Green will use CoolSculpting for non-surgical fat reduction.
Is non-invasive body contouring safe?
Patients often ask, Is non-invasive body sculpting safe? The answer is yes! Non-invasive body contouring procedures are safe and effective procedures when performed by a board-certified medical professional and non-surgical body sculpting expert, like Dr. Michele Green in New York. Procedures such as CoolSculpting, Kybella, and Velashape III are all FDA-approved non-invasive body contouring techniques that can vastly improve a patient’s body shape. Each treatment has undergone clinical trials with thousands of patients to ensure they have minimal side effects while still being highly effective in destroying fat cells. Non-invasive body contouring procedures that are performed by someone other than a board-certified dermatologist, like in a medical spa setting or with an esthetician, are associated with greater risk and higher likelihood of encountering unwanted side effects. In such a setting, the providers may not have the same level of training, expertise, and experience to give you the same effective results as a board-certified physician. To ensure your safety, as well as the best results, you must work with a board-certified medical expert like Dr. Michele Green.
How much is non-invasive body contouring?
The total cost of your non-surgical body contouring treatment will be dependent on a number of factors, including the number and size of the treatment areas, the type of procedure selected for your treatment plan, and the number of treatment sessions required to achieve your ideal body sculpting results. The geographic location of the office in which you are treated and the experience level of the provider performing your treatments will also impact the final cost of your non-surgical body contouring treatment. It may be less expensive to have body sculpting procedures done in a medical spa setting. However, it is always worth investing in treatment with a board-certified medical professional who can guarantee that your treatment is safe and effective. Since non-invasive body sculpting procedures are relatively new, there aren’t many regulations in place for standardizing treatments in places such as MedSpas. The results from non-surgical body contouring procedures, however, are often long-lasting or even permanent. To ensure that you achieve satisfactory results and avoid unwanted side effects, it’s best to be treated by an expert. Dr. Michele Green in NYC is an internationally renowned board-certified expert in the field of cosmetic dermatology with over 25 years of experience providing ideal body sculpting results to her patients from around the globe. When you consult with Dr. Green, she will work with you to develop a customized treatment plan for non-invasive body contouring that is best suited to your needs and aesthetic goals.
How long does non-invasive body contouring last?
The results of non-invasive body contouring like CoolSculpting and Kybella are permanent as long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle and do not gain weight following your treatment. These treatments cannot prevent new fat cells from forming or existing ones from expanding. During the fat removal treatments, fat cells are destroyed and slowly metabolized by your body in the subsequent weeks and months. If you were to gain weight after the procedure, the remaining fat cells in the treated area can expand and begin to occupy the area that was cleared out by the procedure. Other non-invasive body contouring procedures like VelaShape and Thermage are not permanent and will need maintenance treatments every six months to every year. The results of any non-invasive body contouring can be prolonged by following a healthy lifestyle that includes regular exercise and a balanced diet.
Do you have to be certified to do body contouring?
Yes, you need to be trained and certified to offer safe and effective body contouring procedures like CoolSculpting and VelaShape. Dr. Green’s office has been certified by CoolSculpting, which means that she and her staff have received advanced training to perform these procedures. Often, medical spas will offer body contouring techniques, but these procedures are highly specialized, and inexperienced aestheticians can cause unwanted side effects. Other body contouring procedures like Kybella and QWO can only be administered by a trained and licensed medical professional. Body contouring procedures are considered to be the safest when administered by a board-certified dermatologist like Dr. Green, who will prioritize your safety and satisfaction above all else. When you work with Dr. Green, you can rest assured that your treatment experience will be the best it can be.
Does non-invasive fat removal work?
Yes! Non-invasive liposuction refers to non-surgical fat reduction treatments that rely on technology such as heat, cold, or high-intensity ultrasound to remove deposits of excess fat. When performed by a medical professional with expertise and experience in non-invasive body contouring procedures, your non-invasive liposuction treatment will work to reduce or remove excess fat cells that are not responsive to regular exercise and a healthy diet. When you work with a board-certified dermatologist, such as Dr. Michele Green in NYC, your non-invasive liposuction treatment is a safe and effective alternative to surgical fat reduction without the need for an invasive procedure or extensive recovery time.
Does non-surgical body contouring work?
Yes! Non-surgical body contouring is a safe and effective treatment option for eliminating stubborn pockets of fat on the body. Several non-surgical, non-invasive body contouring treatment options are available at Dr. Green’s office, including CoolSculpting, SculpSure, VelaShape, and Kybella. Each treatment option has a different mechanism of action, but they all provide natural-looking results, with the effects of the treatment improving over time. Non-surgical procedures will not provide patients with the same dramatic results as a surgical procedure like liposuction. However, undergoing a surgical procedure requires significant downtime and a high risk of side effects and adverse events. Non-surgical body contouring provides patients with the body shape they are after without the need for general anesthesia or any incisions.
Can body contouring be combined with Thermage for skin tightening?
Yes! Dr. Michele Green often combines Thermage with non-invasive body contouring, especially for areas such as the arms and abdomen. Thermage radiofrequency skin tightening treatment is safe and extremely effective for tightening the skin to improve skin tone and texture and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Thermage works via the emission of radiofrequency energy, which causes controlled heat damage to the tissue, triggering the body’s natural healing response and boosting the production of collagen to tighten the skin. Thermage skin tightening treatment can be used anywhere on the body, including the face, neck, decolletage, arms, abdomen, and thighs. Often considered the “gold standard” for skin tightening, one study of Thermage RF treatment found that there was a significant improvement in skin laxity for all patients that received Thermage treatment, and 73% saw a significant improvement in facial contouring. Suppose patients are experiencing high skin laxity in addition to stubborn pockets of fat. In that case, Dr. Green will combine non-invasive body contouring treatments with Thermage for skin tightening, thereby achieving both fat reduction and skin tightening.
Do you need a license to perform non-invasive lipo?
Non-invasive body contouring procedures are not federally regulated. However, many different states have their regulations for who can perform these treatments. Since the results from non-invasive body contouring are long-lasting to permanent, it is important to be selective when choosing the provider who is to perform your treatment. In New York, a license is necessary if you wish to perform non-invasive lipo. A licensed professional like a board-certified physician or a nurse/physician assistant who has been properly trained and is supervised by a medical doctor can perform non-invasive lipo. They will first need to do an exam face-to-face with a patient and obtain their medical history before discussing the treatment. Dr. Michele Green is a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist with over 25 years of experience utilizing the most cutting-edge technologies and innovative treatment techniques. When you consult with Dr. Green for your non-invasive body contouring treatment, you can trust that your procedure will be performed safely and effectively and produce optimal results.
How does liposuction compare with non-invasive body contouring treatments?
Liposuction and non-invasive body contouring treatments for fat reduction, like CoolSculpting, are medical procedures that permanently remove fat cells. Although liposuction and other non-invasive procedures like CoolSculpting seem similar, there are many key differences.
Liposuction is an invasive surgical procedure that is performed under general, regional, or local anesthesia by a board-certified plastic surgeon. The process of liposuction involves making a small incision into the skin and inserting a cannula to remove fat through a process of negative pressure. Compression garments are worn for two weeks after surgery, and bruising is an expected side effect of the procedure. The final results are visible six to 12 months after liposuction. Liposuction is not a weight-loss treatment since there is no long-term weight loss associated with liposuction. While the suctioned fat cells are permanently gone, one of the problems with liposuction is that after several months, the fat can get redistributed to other areas of the body, and the overall body fat generally returns to the same level as before liposuction.
With non-invasive body contouring, there is no anesthesia needed. A board-certified dermatologist will use a specialized device to destroy fat cells from the target areas gradually. There is no downtime, and many patients experience minimal to no side effects. In addition, since no incisions were made, there is no risk of scarring and infection. The majority of patients can resume their normal activities once the procedure is completed, which is typically only an hour and a half. These results are also permanent as long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a balanced diet. There is also no skin laxity since the fat removal is so gradual; this is not the case with invasive liposuction.
Is non-surgical body contouring permanent?
The results from non-surgical body contouring treatment are long-lasting to permanent. Non-surgical fat reduction treatments such as CoolSculpting and Kybella produce permanent cosmetic results since the fat cells in a treatment area are destroyed. However, if a patient were to gain weight following their treatment, the fat cells that are remaining in the treatment area still have the potential to expand. To maintain the best results following treatment, patients should continue to engage in regular exercise and practice healthy eating habits. Other non-invasive body contouring treatments, such as Thermage and VelaShape, produce semi-permanent results, with most patients choosing to engage in regular maintenance sessions to keep the best cosmetic results. When you consult with Dr. Green at her private dermatology office in the Upper East Side neighborhood of Manhattan, she will work with you to establish a non-invasive body contouring treatment approach and timeline that works best for you and your needs.
Who can perform non-invasive body contouring?
