Body Contouring

A considered approach to body contouring

Certain areas of the body may retain localised fullness or begin to feel less firm despite changes in diet, exercise or overall weight. Body contouring may be considered to improve the appearance of selected areas, but the concern must first be understood clearly.

Non-surgical body-contouring treatments can be used for purposes such as reducing small areas of fat or supporting firmness and shape. They are not weight-loss treatments, and the degree of improvement may be gradual, modest or temporary depending on the method and individual response.

At Ballani Skin Aesthetics, Dr. Indu Ballani assesses the treatment area, skin quality, amount and distribution of fullness, medical history and expected change before discussing suitability. The approach is selected according to the concern rather than applying one standard contouring treatment to every body or area.

Choosing the right approach for each area

At Ballani Skin Aesthetics, Dr. Indu Ballani assesses the treatment area, distribution of localised fullness, skin firmness, underlying contours, medical history and expected degree of change before preparing a plan. Body-contouring procedures are selected for specific concerns rather than general weight reduction, and results can vary according to the method used and individual response.

Understand the Concern

The assessment distinguishes between localised fullness, loose skin and reduced definition because each may require a different approach.

Select the Suitable Treatment

The method is chosen according to the area, tissue characteristics, skin quality and individual suitability rather than using one procedure for every concern.

Set Realistic Expectations

The likely degree and pace of improvement, possible number of sessions and need for maintenance are discussed before treatment begins.

Ballani Skin Aesthetics has RF tightening available for selected body concerns involving reduced firmness or mild skin laxity. Radiofrequency delivers controlled heat into targeted tissue and may help the treated skin appear tighter. Dr. Indu Ballani considers the area, tissue characteristics, medical history and expected improvement before deciding whether it is suitable.

No. Non-surgical body contouring is intended to improve the appearance of a specific area rather than treat obesity or produce overall weight loss. It should not replace healthy eating, regular physical activity or medical weight-management care where required.

Suitability depends on whether the concern involves localised fullness, reduced firmness, loose skin or a combination of factors. Dr. Indu Ballani also reviews medications, previous procedures, scars, implants, active skin concerns and relevant health conditions before recommending treatment.

The number of sessions and pace of improvement depend on the area, technology selected and individual response. More than one treatment may be needed, results may develop gradually and maintenance can sometimes be required because certain effects are temporary.
