Non-Invasive Body Contouring
Fat and muscle, with nothing breaking the skin.
No needles, no anaesthetic, no downtime — you go back to work from the appointment. The trade is time: these treatments work over a course of sessions rather than in one, and there is a ceiling to what they can do.
In short
Non-invasive body contouring reduces stubborn fat and builds muscle without anything penetrating the skin. Applicators sit on the surface; you lie still and read. Most protocols run six to twelve sessions over eight to sixteen weeks, and we measure against your baseline 3D scan at 30, 60 and 90 days. If what you actually need is significant skin tightening, this is not the category — the minimally invasive page is, and we will tell you so at the consult.
What this is for
The problems people describe.
A midsection that won't respond to training Diet and gym have plateaued. Composition needs addressing, not more effort. Usually EvolveX → Definition you can't train into The muscle is there but it doesn't show, particularly through the abdomen and flanks. Usually EvolveX → The last twenty pounds Close to target, and contouring alone won't get you there. Medical weight loss first → Loose skin rather than fat If the skin creases when you pinch it, surface treatments won't fix it. See minimally invasive →

What each platform actually does.
Downtime and session counts are typical ranges, not promises — your consult gives you the numbers for your body.
| Treatment | Best for | How it works | Downtime | Sessions | Starts at |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| EvolveX | Fat reduction plus muscle definition, larger areas | Radiofrequency heating with electrical muscle stimulation, applied hands-free through surface applicators | None | 6–12 | $475 / session |
| Cold laser | Gentle circumference reduction with nothing felt at all | Low-level laser applied over the treatment area | None | 6–12 | Price TBC |
| 3D body scanning | Knowing whether any of it is working | Full-body circumference and composition mapping at baseline and every checkpoint | None | Every 30 days | Included |

Is this the right category
A rough answer before you come in.
The consult confirms it against a scan. This gets you most of the way there.
If you can pinch it and the skin snaps back —
it is fat rather than laxity, and non-invasive is the right category. EvolveX, often alongside medical weight loss.
If you can pinch it and the skin stays creased —
that is laxity. Surface treatments will not reach it, and reducing the fat underneath can make it look worse. Start here instead.
If you want zero downtime, no exceptions —
this is your category, and it is worth being clear-eyed about the ceiling. Real change, over months, without a single day off.
If you are still losing weight —
usually worth finishing that first, since the target moves. Medical weight loss and contouring are often sequenced rather than combined.

Questions
About non-invasive contouring.
How long before I see anything?
Fat and muscle changes typically become visible around weeks six to eight and continue for several months afterwards. This is why we re-scan at 30, 60 and 90 days rather than asking you to judge it in a mirror.
Is it permanent?
Fat cells reduced by these treatments do not come back, but the remaining ones can still enlarge — results hold if your weight does. Muscle gains need maintenance, which is what the membership tiers exist for.
Does it hurt?
No. EvolveX feels like deep warmth with a contracting sensation; most people read or work through a session, and no numbing is needed. Cold laser is felt as nothing at all.
Why would I choose this over the minimally invasive option?
No downtime, no anaesthetic, no needles, and a lower cost per session. The trade is that it addresses fat and muscle rather than loose skin, and it works over a course rather than in one appointment. If skin laxity is your main complaint, the other category is the honest answer.
Do you treat men?
About half our patients are men. There is a whole practice built around it.
