Body Contouring

How long does body contouring last?

Body contouring results can last for years, especially when paired with healthy habits. CoolSculpting® permanently eliminates treated fat cells, meaning those specific cells won’t return. Thermage® or XTherma results typically last 1–2 years as your collagen naturally changes over time, while Potenza™ RF Microneedling improvements in texture and firmness can be maintained with periodic touch-ups. Maintaining a stable weight, staying active, and caring for your skin all help extend and enhance your results.


Do I need maintenance treatments?

It depends on the treatment. CoolSculpting® doesn’t require ongoing maintenance because fat cells are permanently reduced. Thermage® or XTherma and Potenza™ may benefit from occasional maintenance sessions to keep collagen strong and skin looking firm.

Can my results fade over time?

es—natural aging, weight changes, and lifestyle factors can influence how long results last. While fat cells removed with CoolSculpting® don’t come back, remaining fat cells can still grow with weight gain. Skin-tightening and texture improvements naturally soften as collagen breaks down over time.

How can I make my results last longer?

Maintaining a consistent weight, following a balanced lifestyle, protecting your skin from the sun, and staying hydrated all help your results last. Your clinician may also recommend a personalized maintenance plan to keep your skin smooth, tight, and refined.
