Body Contouring in Montclair, NJ

Diet and exercise may not be enough to achieve the perfect body. At the Aurora DeJuliis MD European Medical Spa in North Jersey, we use the latest technology to eliminate unwanted fat. Your options include radiofrequency treatments such as Venus Freeze and Venus Legacy, fat-freezing treatments like CoolSculpting® and CoolMini, and fat-dissolving Kybella injections. Dr. Aurora DeJuliis uses her extensive experience in aesthetics as well as her specialized training in Rome and Paris to provide exceptional body contouring in Montclair.

Radiofrequency laser technology is an effective way to dissolve fat pockets and cellulite. Unlike surgery, radiofrequency can tighten the skin in areas where the fat has been reduced. This is particularly important since usually, as fat deposits are eliminated, the skin on the surface of those deposits becomes much looser. RF technology is gentle and non-invasive. 

Dr. Aurora DeJuliis uses Venus Freeze and Venus Legacy to accomplish body contouring and tightening for Montclair patients. This state-of-the-art technique is pain-free and relaxing. 

Depending on the areas of concern, the treatments are done about seven days apart, and you may require between six and eight sessions. When sculpting the body with radiofrequency technology, it has been found that multiple sessions deliver better results than one treatment.

CoolSculpting has revolutionized the field of non-invasive body contouring. This FDA-cleared treatment harnesses the power of controlled cooling to effectively target and eliminate stubborn fat cells without surgery or extensive downtime. The process, known as cryolipolysis, selectively cools fat cells to the point of destruction while leaving surrounding tissues unharmed. It’s particularly effective for reducing fat in common problem areas like the abdomen, flanks, thighs, and under the chin. Patients appreciate CoolSculpting for its convenience and effectiveness, making it an increasingly popular choice for those who want to look their best without surgery.

What sets CoolSculpting apart is its non-invasive nature and the minimal discomfort experienced during the appointment. Typically, patients can relax, read, or even work on a laptop while the treatment is underway. Post-treatment, normal activities can be resumed almost immediately, making it a practical option for busy individuals.

Dr. DeJuliis offers two non-surgical non-invasive treatments for submental (chin) fat. Kybella is a first-of-its-kind injectable treatment for submental fullness that destroys fat cells under the chin to improve the facial profile. Some patients require more than one treatment to achieve the desired long-lasting result.

CoolMini is a small attachment to the CoolSculpting device, which freezes and destroys fat below the surface of the skin. Patients often see results after one or two treatments.

Who Is the Ideal Candidate for Body Contouring?

Ideal candidates for non-surgical body contouring are adults who have reached a stable weight, are in overall good health, and are non-smokers. Ideal candidates should be able to maintain their weight after their body contouring treatment is complete, as results may change with weight gain. If you have struggled to achieve your desired shape through traditional weight loss methods alone, you can likely benefit from body contouring treatments at our Montclair office.

Body contouring can help with fat reduction and body sculpting in problem areas such as:

  • Upper arms
  • Abdomen
  • Thighs
  • Love handles
  • Back 
  • Bra bulge
  • Chin 

Are There Any Side Effects with Non-Surgical Body Contouring? 

Non-surgical body contouring treatments that use radiofrequency laser technology, such as Venus Legacy and Venus Freeze, or fat-freezing technology, such as CoolSculpting and CoolMini, have no side effects and one can resume activities immediately after treatment. 

Side effects from Kybella injections may involve:

  • Redness
  • Temporary swelling
  • Brusing
  • Itchiness
  • Tightness

These side effects are sometimes observed after non-surgical fat reduction treatments, and they usually disappear on their own within several days to a week after your appointment.

Dr. Aurora DeJuliis recommends applying cold packs over the treated area on and off for 12 hours after injections.

How Can I Prepare for Non-Surgical Body Contouring?

Non-surgical body contouring doesn’t require much preparation. Still, you will need to be in good overall health and near your goal weight. After all, body contouring is not for weight loss, and those who are not close enough to the recommended BMI will not be eligible for treatment. 

Some non-surgical body treatments can cause bruising. Depending on your service, Dr. DeJuliis may advise you to stay away from anti-inflammatories and certain supplements.

What Is Recovery Like After Non-Invasive Body Contouring?

While the recovery process can differ from patient to patient, non-surgical body contouring typically does not require any downtime. In fact, most patients are able to return to their normal routines immediately after treatment for Venus Legacy, Venus Freeze, CoolSculpting, and CoolMini treatments. You may need to avoid strenuous physical activity for the first 24 hours, but overall, you will be able to continue with your routine as normal. Staying properly hydrated, eating balanced meals, and sometimes massaging the treated areas (depending on your type of treatment) will help aid in your recovery.

Recovery from Kybella injections typically involves swelling. You may use ice packs to reduce swelling after your treatment and later switch to warm compresses to help with any pain or discomfort.

How Long Will My Results Last?

Treatments with Venus Legacy and Venus Freeze can last up to 18 months. We recommend routine treatments every three to four months to maintain results.
CoolSculpting results can last indefinitely, but for most patients, results are long-lasting. Once fat cells are killed off, they will never come back. However, patients must remember that the appearance of their results may change if a stable weight is not maintained. Sticking to a balanced diet and exercise routine can help patients enjoy the results from their fat reduction and body sculpting for years to come.

Kybella injections will need to be administered in a series of routine treatments. The avarage treatment involves 3-4 sessions. After your final treatment, you can enjoy your results for a lifetime.

Supporting You with Weight Loss and Nutrition Counseling 

Body contouring treatments don’t replace a healthy lifestyle. For this reason, Dr. DeJuliis offers her patients consultations in weight loss and nutrition. Medical weight loss management is also available at our spa for overweight individuals when exercise and diet changes have not been successful.
