Do you wish your favorite outfits fit a little more comfortably? Maybe you’ve noticed your belly getting a little bigger after all those holiday meals. Many people want to tackle pesky body fat head-on, but traditional approaches like dieting and working out can be less than ideal.
That’s why non-invasive body sculpting is becoming so popular. The quick, outpatient procedure targets fat cells non-invasively, while you kick back and relax.
At Metro Health and Wellness in Marietta, Georgia, and Nashville, Tennessee, women’s health specialist, Kirstie Cunningham, MD, FACOG, NCMP, offers non-invasive body sculpting with the Contoura by InMode BodyFX System. Keep reading to learn what non-invasive body sculpting is, how it works, and what to expect after treatment.
Non-invasive body sculpting is a cutting-edge procedure that uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to reduce stubborn body fat and tighten skin. It’s non-surgical, so you don’t have to worry about incisions, anesthesia, or downtime.

To be clear, non-invasive body sculpting isn’t a weight loss solution. Instead, it targets unwanted fat that doesn’t respond to traditional approaches, like diet and exercise.
The Contoura by InMode BodyFX System combines RF energy, deep tissue heating, and suction to target unwanted fat cells and stimulate collagen production. In simpler terms, it reduces excess body fat and firms your skin, so treated areas look toned and smooth.
During treatment, Dr. Cunningham runs a handheld device across specific areas, such as the upper arms or belly. The device emits targeted RF waves that heat and break down fat cells while gently suctioning your skin to keep it tight. Together, these features help sculpt and contour your body for a sleeker and more defined appearance.
Non-invasive body sculpting isn’t a one-and-done type of treatment. Though every patient’s needs vary, Dr. Cunningham usually recommends a series of between six and nine sessions spaced about a week apart. Each session builds on the last to ensure noticeable results.
After treatment, you can return to work and other activities immediately. However, it’s normal to experience temporary redness, swelling, and warmth at each treatment site. These side effects typically improve within a day or two, but contact us if they persist.
Your body begins breaking down the fat over time. Most patients see noticeable improvements in fat reduction and skin firmness within a few months.
To get the most out of non-invasive body sculpting, attend each of your scheduled visits. Missing even one or two can affect your progress. Dr. Cunningham also recommends pairing body sculpting with healthy lifestyle changes. Eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, and staying hydrated can support your efforts and lead to better results.
If you’re ready to address stubborn areas of body fat, non-invasive body sculpting offers a safe and effective solution. It’s convenient, non-surgical, and can help you fit back into your favorite outfits. Contact us today to schedule your appointment in Marietta or Nashville, or book online.
