Body Contouring

Does body contouring hurt?

Body contouring is a collection of non-invasive and minimally invasive treatments designed to refine the areas of your body that diet and exercise can't change on their own. At LaserAway, that includes CoolSculpting® to freeze and eliminate stubborn fat, Thermage® to tighten and firm loose skin, and Potenza™ RF Microneedling to smooth texture and boost collagen. These treatments work individually or together to sculpt, tighten, and enhance your natural shape without surgery or significant downtime.


Will I be numbed before treatment?

For minimally invasive options like Thermage® and Potenza™, a topical numbing cream is usually applied to keep discomfort to a minimum. CoolSculpting® generally doesn't require numbing since the cold naturally numbs the area on its own.

What does body contouring feel like?

It varies by treatment. CoolSculpting® feels cold and firm at first, then comfortably numb. Thermage® delivers short pulses of heat followed by cooling. Potenza™ RF Microneedling feels like quick, controlled micro-pulses across the skin.

Will I be sore afterward?

Some temporary swelling, redness, or sensitivity is normal, depending on the treatment you receive. Most people return to their day right away, and any lingering soreness is typically mild and fades within a few hours to a couple of days.
