What is Body Contouring, and Is It Right for Me?

At Mint & Needle, we believe that everyone deserves to feel confident in their own skin. Body contouring is a non-invasive treatment that allows you to refine and enhance your body's natural shape, without the need for surgery. Whether you're looking to smooth out stubborn areas or achieve a more sculpted look, our PHYSIQ Body Contouring treatment can help you reach your aesthetic goals.

What is Body Contouring?

Body contouring is a treatment designed to target areas of the body that may be resistant to diet and exercise. It uses advanced technology to break down fat cells, tighten skin, and improve your overall body shape. The treatment can be tailored to different areas, such as the abdomen, thighs, arms, and even the chin. Unlike traditional weight loss, body contouring focuses on refining your natural shape to give you the smooth, toned appearance you're after.

How Does It Work?

At Mint & Needle, we use the PHYSIQ Body Contouring device, which utilizes four applicators that deliver electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) and super luminescent diode matrix (SDM) energies to ensure patients achieve the best outcomes in a comfortable, hands-free treatment. This technique combines heat and radiofrequency to eliminate fat cells from targeted areas, which are then naturally removed by the body’s lymphatic system, resulting in a slimmer, more contoured appearance. What we love about this device is that the EMS technology not only targets debulking by reducing fat, but it also helps build muscle in the process, enhancing both fat loss and muscle tone. Each session typically lasts between 15 to 30 minutes, with no downtime required.

You'll begin to see results within a few weeks as your body eliminates the fat cells, with full results visible after a couple of months. At Mint & Needle, we believe weight management is multi-factorial, which is why we offer PHYSIQ as part of a comprehensive package alongside our medical weight loss program. This includes personalized supplementation recommendations to support your overall health and enhance the body contouring results.
