What is a Body Contouring Service?
Body contouring is a non-surgical treatment that can reshape and smooth the desired body areas. It’s a non-invasive treatment option that is performed in the clinic by a cosmetic nurse. Some commonly targeted areas of this procedure include the abdomen, hips, legs, arms and the back. The treatment can also be effective for areas where fat is particularly stubborn.
Body Contouring Vs Liposuction
While body contouring and liposuction address the same issue, these come with fundamental differences. It’s important to be aware of these to make an informed decision on your cosmetic treatment. At Results Laser Clinic, we consistently strive towards concise communication during our consultation stage.
See our key breakdown below:
| Procedure | Fat loss goals | Treatment time | Treatment downtime | Sessions needed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Body Contouring | This treatment targets small pockets of fat, particularly those that are more resistant to weight loss efforts. | The duration of the treatment varies based on factors, such as the size of the treatment area. The process can take anywhere from 15 minutes to 2 hours. | There is little recovery time. However, light cardio is advised within the 2 hours post-treatment. | Anywhere from six to ten treatments are likely to be involved. This is followed by maintenance sessions of every three to six months. |
| Liposuction | The surgical treatment is able to target large areas of fat from the skin. This process can be done across several body regions. | The duration of surgery ranges from 45 to 90 minutes, depending on the level of the procedure. | The surgery demands a prolonged period of two to four weeks, ensuring smoother healing and recovery. | Only one surgical procedure is required. However, several follow up sessions by medical professionals are needed. |
*Please note that the above is a general tabled comparison. For any questions about liposuction, get in touch with your general practitioner. If you’re looking to book body contouring, contact our Results Laser Clinic team.

Clinically Provided Body Contouring Treatments in Melbourne
Considering body contouring? At Results Laser Clinic, we consistently strive to work at your pace, which is by beginning with a consultation. We know that every individual is different. Our cosmetic nurses value your goals, concerns and questions asked.
The Non-Surgical Approach to Body Contouring: Trilipo Radio Frequency
At Results Laser Clinic, we opt for radio frequency technology to potentially fulfill your desired body goals. From the initial consultation, we work towards understanding your vision. Our cosmetic nurses understand that everyone’s journey looks different. If you have any questions or concerns, our team is here to potentially alleviate these.
See our step-by-step process:
- Treatment Area Preparation. Before the non-invasive procedure, our team will prepare the area for treatment. Our cosmetic nurses will do so through applying a gentle massage to the skin. This is done to priority areas in order to strengthen, and stimulate blood flow to this region. It also helps activate collagen fibres.
- The Radio Frequency Technology Process. The process is performed through the application of a dual-action, handheld mechanism. When applied to the skin, it emits heat to the fat layer of the skin. This aids in the process of lipolysis, which means that it helps the fat to break down.
In combination with this release of liquid fats, DMA energy (Dynamic Muscle Activation) causes muscle contractions. Both processes work simultaneously to push liquid fat into the lymphatic drainage system. - Post-Procedure. Once the first treatment is complete, we typically advise on when the next session will be undergone. The number of treatments varies from six to ten, and either each week or every other week. Along with this, we’ll provide post treatment advice, such as light cardio within the next 2 hours.

A body contouring procedure is promising for several reasons. Whether it’s the downtime post-procedure, or a visible improvement that meets certain body goals.

- Non-invasive meaning no needles, incisions or anaesthetic
- Little to no downtime, so you can return to your day immediately
- Skin tightening and fat reduction addressed together
- More gentle, warming sensation during treatment
- Gradual, natural-looking results on skin
- Tighter, more toned skin as a result of collagen stimulation

- Brief redness, and enhanced skin sensitivity

Your Guide to a Smooth Recovery: Post-Body Contouring Procedure
For a potentially smoother process, the proper skin preparation and maintenance is key. It’s important to be aware of these to prepare for this potential procedure. At Results Laser Clinic, our cosmetic nurses will discuss these with you beforehand.
| Timeline | 24 hours prior | Two to seven days prior | Two weeks prior |
|---|---|---|---|
| Skin Preparation | Avoid drinking alcoholic beverages, eating heavy meals or smoking during this period. | Don’t incorporate any skincare products containing active ingredient formulations. This includes both Retinoids and Vitamin A. Also, avoid the use of acids or mechanical exfoliants. | Stay away from the sun to avoid any UV exposure to the treatment area. Also, don’t use sun beds or self tan by any means. |
| Timeline | 0–2 hours post-treatment | 24–48 hours post-treatment | Three days post-treatment | One to Two Weeks after |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Skin Maintenance | Do a 20 minute cardio session as it helps release fat cells. Some short activities include brief walking and light jogging. | Stay away from activities that stimulate body heat. This includes excessive exercise, taking showers with very hot water, and visiting spas or saunas. | Avoid applying any active skincare, this includes exfoliating acids and harsh ingredients. Instead, soothe skin through gentle formulations such as the Results Active Recovery Gel. | Avoid further skin inflammation and irritation to the treated area. Don’t wax, do laser hair removal or other forms of invasive hair removal. It’s best to avoid excess heat exposure, and as a result avoid tanning. |

No, RLC body contouring is both a non-invasive and non-surgical cosmetic procedure. The process is designed to potentially refine skin, targeting stubborn areas of fat deposits. On the other hand, a surgical procedure is designed to remove a larger amount of fat on the body.
Unlike traditional surgery, body contouring is a mostly pain-free procedure. The sensation can be best described as slight tingling, and can resemble the comfort of a warm stone massage.
Light exercise is important because it helps boost your body’s metabolic and lymphatic drainage systems. Movement stimulates blood flow and causes muscle contraction which can help to firm the skin. It works hand in hand with the procedure’s use of dynamic muscle activation (DMA).
The time it takes to see results varies from individual to individual. You may be able to see some visible results from the first session. However, this becomes more noticeable over the span of two to four weeks. The full outcome of the procedure can be seen after the course of the complete treatment plan.
