How much does body contouring cost?

Body contouring costs vary based on the treatment selected, the areas you want to target, and how many sessions you will need. To help you plan, LaserAway offers clear, upfront pricing, package savings, and flexible financing options:

  • CoolSculpting®: Starts at $550 per treatment, with 25% savings when you purchase 4–7 treatments, and 50% savings on 8 or more.

  • Potenza™ RF Microneedling: Begins at $750 per session, or $562.50 per session when purchased as a 6-treatment package.

Average Cost of Body Contouring

Body contouring is a broad category, so the average cost depends on whether your plan is focused on targeted fat reduction, skin tightening, skin firming, or a combination of treatments. National pricing data shows that non-surgical body contouring treatments commonly range from about $1,000 to $4,000+, depending on the technology used, the treatment area, and the number of sessions needed.

For example, treatments focused on targeted fat reduction, such as CoolSculpting®, may be priced differently than treatments focused on skin tightening or firming, such as Thermage® FLX, XTherma®, or Potenza™ RF Microneedling. During your consultation, your clinician will recommend the best body contouring option based on your goals, treatment area, and desired outcome, then walk you through pricing before you begin.

Why Does Body Contouring Pricing Vary?

Body contouring is highly customizable, meaning your exact price is entirely tailored to your unique body type and aesthetic goals.

Your total cost is determined by four key factors:

  • The treatment selected: Different advanced technologies like fat-reducing CoolSculpting® vs. skin-tightening Thermage® FLX have distinct pricing structures.
  • The treatment area size: Targeting larger areas or multiple zones naturally impacts the total scope of your plan.
  • The number of sessions: Your custom plan will map out exactly how many treatments you need for optimal results.
  • Package savings: LaserAway offers significant discounts when you bundle your treatments into a multi-session package.

How Many Body Contouring Treatments Will I Need?

The number of body contouring treatments you may need depends on the treatment type, the area being treated, and your individual goals.

For CoolSculpting® specifically, treatment plans are often customized based on the amount of targeted fat in the area and your desired outcome. As Dr. Will Kirby, Chief Medical Officer at LaserAway, explains, "The number of sessions you need ultimately depends on your body habitus, which is how your body looks and how much you're going to exercise and how healthy you're going to eat."

For skin tightening or firming treatments, such as Thermage® FLX, XTherma®, or Potenza™ RF Microneedling, your clinician will recommend the appropriate number of sessions based on your skin quality, treatment area, and overall contouring goals.

Are Package Options Worth It?

Yes. Most patients save significantly when choosing a package. CoolSculpting® offers the largest savings for multi-cycle plans, while Thermage® and Potenza™ packages lower the per-treatment cost when multiple sessions are recommended.

Is Body Contouring Covered by Insurance?

No. Body contouring treatments at LaserAway are elective aesthetic procedures and are not covered by health insurance plans.

Is Financing Available For Body Contouring?

Absolutely. LaserAway offers flexible financing and payment plans so you can start treatment right away and pay over time. Your treatment specialist will walk you through all available options during your visit consultation.

Will I Get Exact Pricing Before I Start?

Yes. During your free consultation, your treatment specialist will evaluate your goals, create a tailored plan, and provide a precise cost breakdown so you know exactly what to expect before beginning treatment.

Is Body Contouring Worth the Cost?
