TightSculpting body shaping eliminates unwanted fat and tightens the loose skin that results from the fat reduction. The fat elimination is accomplished with a laser that gently and safely delivers heat beneath the skin and targets fat. The heat causes the fat to break down and triggers cell death. The cells are then processed by the body or eliminated altogether from the body. Simultaneously, another laser stimulates the production of new collagen to tighten the skin to prevent loose skin forming after the fat reduction is complete. The overall effect is an improvement in the body contour, skin laxity, and skin elasticity in the areas of treatment.

Results vary for each patient. Typically, patients immediately feel tightened. The improvement in contour appears more gradually as it takes time for the fat to break down. Most patients will see immediate tightening followed by a gradual change in contour as your fat breaks down. We recommend a series of 3-6 treatments, depending on what your ideal results are.

During the fat elimination section, the laser heats deep into the treatment area. You will first feel a gradual warming of the area. After a few minutes, you may feel very brief hot sensations. The feeling is comparable to a hot stone massage or a dry sauna. During the skin tightening section, the laser heats more superficially, and you will probably feel more intense hot sensations. Nonetheless, the heat is still quite tolerable. After the treatment your skin will be pink or red and feel warm to the touch for a couple of days.

Those looking to improve their body contour, to remove or reduce stubborn fat deposits, or for a procedure for fat reduction that will not leave loose skin behind can greatly benefit from this unique treatment. Note that Fotona TightSculpting treats fat and doesn’t act as a weight loss program.

TightSculpting is effective on a variety of different body parts, such as the chin (to get rid of a double chin), the abdomen, the chest, and the thighs.

Every person’s tolerance is different; however, you can anticipate feeling minor to no discomfort during your session. Immediately post-treatment you may notice minor redness and/or swelling. These effects diminish within a few hours and you can still participate in your everyday activities right after the procedure.

To maintain your results, and to optimize the effects from your TightSculpting Keeping a healthy lifestyle by exercising regularly and eating a proper diet will optimize the effects of your TightSculpting session. This is what we recommend in order to maintain results. There exist various other techniques to get rid of fat deposits. TightSculpting distinguishes itself from these techniques with its two-in-one procedure that combines fat elimination with skin tightening of the overlying skin.

CoolSculpting is a technique which freezes fat cells to eliminate them. BodyFX uses radiofrequency to melt fat cells. With these procedures, however, you may be left with loose, saggy skin.
