Body contouring procedures can vary in terms of discomfort depending on the specific treatment method used. Non-invasive treatments like CoolSculpting, SculpSure, and EMSCULPT are well-tolerated with minimal pain, while surgical options like liposuction can involve more significant discomfort both during and after the procedure.
Overall, most patients find body contouring to be manageable, with any discomfort being temporary and often mild.
What does the treatment feel like?
CoolSculpting
CoolSculpting involves a sensation of intense cold, followed by numbness in the treated area. Some patients report feeling a pulling or tugging sensation as the applicator adheres to the skin. The numbness can persist for a short time after the treatment.
SculpSure
SculpSure uses laser technology to target fat cells. Patients often describe a warming sensation and intermittent tingling during the procedure. The heating cycle is well-tolerated and is alternated with cooling periods for comfort.
EMSCULPT
EMSCULPT uses electromagnetic energy to induce muscle contractions. The treatment feels like an intense workout, with rapid and strong muscle contractions. While it can be surprising at first, most patients adjust quickly to the sensation.
Liposuction
Liposuction is a surgical procedure performed under anaesthesia. Post-operative discomfort can include soreness, swelling, and bruising. Pain levels vary, but most patients report significant improvement within a few days to weeks.
How much does it hurt on a scale of 1-10?
The pain level experienced during body contouring treatments varies depending on the procedure:
- CoolSculpting: 2-4 (initial cold sensation, then numbness)
- SculpSure: 3-5 (warming and tingling sensation)
- EMSCULPT: 3-4 (intense muscle contractions)
- Liposuction: 5-8 (post-operative pain and soreness)
Is it safe?
Body contouring treatments are safe when performed by qualified professionals. Non-invasive procedures like CoolSculpting, SculpSure, and EMSCULPT have minimal risks and side effects, typically limited to temporary redness, swelling, or mild discomfort. Surgical options like liposuction carry higher risks, including infection, anaesthesia complications, and prolonged recovery times. It is crucial to choose a reputable clinic with experienced practitioners to minimise risks and ensure the best outcomes.
