Sculpt Your Body with Liposonix
Surgical procedures are invasive and painful and often take weeks, or even months, to recover from. With Liposonix, you can sculpt and shape your body with a high-intensity, focused ultrasound (also known as HIFU), which targets and eradicates fat cells.
Some of us are cursed with stubborn chubs, regardless of how often we exercise or how nutritious our diets are. Liposonix takes the guesswork out of shaping your curves. The ultrasound energies penetrate the skin, eliminating fat cells that are then naturally processed as waste by your body.
-
Rejuvenate Your Skin with Microneedling
Also known as collagen induction therapy, microneedling sounds scary, but the procedure is a breeze. Tiny needles penetrate the skin, creating micro-tears that kickstart natural healing. Skin cells are rejuvenated and refined with boosted collagen and elastin production. This creates a smoother, firmer, more beautiful appearance, reducing fine lines, wrinkles, crow’s feet, and minor scars.
The big question…does microneedling hurt? Numbing creams are applied before the procedure, reducing the chances of pain or discomfort. You may still feel pinprick pressure, especially around the eyes where the skin is thinner, but you should never experience unbearable pain.
Your skin will glow with a refreshed, sun-kissed look!

Say Sayonara to Cellulite with Lipomassage
Cellulite is akin to netting under your skin, where fat creates dimples in your skin, like on your thighs and buttocks. For many, it’s a constant source of frustration, but a Lipomassage can handle that. The procedure, also known as Endermologie, implements a rolling and sucking motion with a mechanical tool to massage and stimulate the skin.
The roller breaks down and smooths fatty deposits under the skin, improving blood circulation and encouraging your body to dispose of excess fat cells.
Conclusion
2024 is your year.

Even with diet, exercise, and a lot of discipline, you can’t quite get the body you want. If you’re looking for a way to get over that final hump and love the body you’re in, these body sculpting options could do the trick. Perfection isn’t achievable for any of us, but these techniques can help you make the improvements you’ve been searching for.
Body sculpting techniques and technology are constantly evolving. They won’t do everything for you, but they pair well with those already putting in the work. If you’re ready to say goodbye to those tough problem areas, check out these treatments below.
EmSculpt
EmSculpt is one of the top-rated body sculpting choices out there. It’s revolutionary, FDA-approved, and works by combining pain-free treatment with short, easy sessions. In as little as four 30-minute appointments, you’ll see amazing changes to your body.
How is that possible? EmSculpt uses high-intensity electromagnetic waves to induce contractions in the targeted area. Those contractions allow your body to be sculpted and transformed. It works on the most-requested problem areas, including arms, thighs, buttocks, and more. You’ll get the body you want while building healthy muscle during the treatments.
Evolve
Evolve treatments use heat and radio frequency to get rid of stubborn fat, treat sagging skin, and enhance tone. They’re perfect for getting your body back after pregnancy or allowing you to enjoy the body you earned after weight loss.
Evolve stimulates muscle contractions that melt away fat and help showcase the healthy muscle beneath. It tightens, tones, and targets the major problem areas.
- Hips
- Thighs

LipoSonix
Sometimes, fat seems like it’s here to stay no matter what we do. With LipoSonix, you can finally say goodbye to even the most stubborn fat cells. This FDA-approved treatment uses ultrasound to create heat and blast fat cells into the past.
It works so well that a single treatment can produce dramatic results. How does losing two inches off your waist sound? Once LipoSonix destroys the fat cells, they’re gone for good. So if all the dieting and exercise still aren’t showing the results you want, let LipoSonix finish the job.

Body contouring is becoming quite popular among those who want to reshape and improve the appearance of their body, often due to significant weight loss, age-related fat distribution, and other similar issues. There are several types of procedures that fall under the category of body contouring, which is what makes it such a great treatment. You can talk to an expert and customize your contouring procedure so that you get the results you desire.
Also known as body sculpting, this option includes techniques like:
- Heat and cold therapies
- Lasers
- Lifts and tucks
- Liposuction
The goal of these procedures is to reshape or contour the body, eliminate extra skin, and get rid of excess fat. It isn’t designed to help people lose weight, but merely to shape the body and redistribute the fat with various procedures like those above.
Body Contouring Options
There are two main choices for body sculpting: surgical and non-surgical. The latter is obviously more popular, as most people want to avoid serious surgery at all costs. Also referred to as lipolysis, methods include:
- Cryolipolysis, which destroys fat cells using cold temperatures
- Injection lipolysis, which destroys fat cells with deoxycholic acid injections
- Laser lipolysis, which destroys fat cells using lasers
- Radiofrequency lipolysis, which destroys fat cells with heat and ultrasound waves
Those who choose to have surgery performed as part of their body contouring will typically opt for:
- Lifts and tucks, which can remove excess skin and fat:
- Tummy tucks
- Breast lifts
- Facelifts
- Chin lifts
- Double chin surgery
- Liposuction, which suctions out fat deposits to physically remove them from the body
The best thing you can do is talk to a cosmetic professional about your options and decide on which procedure(s) are best. In many cases, a treatment plan will be created using a combination of the procedures discussed above to achieve optimal results.
Is Body Contouring Safe?
All cosmetic procedures and surgeries come with potential risks. However, in general, body sculpting and contouring techniques are used without incident in almost every case. If you experience any issues after your procedure, you should seek medical attention right away. However, as long as you choose a reputable provider and follow their aftercare instructions, you should have a good experience with body contouring and be able to start showing off your new shape to the world.

Have a few spots on your body that you just can’t seem to tone up? No matter how much you work out or eat right, there are bound to be a few areas on your body that aren’t getting with the program. It’s normal, but that doesn’t mean it makes you feel more confident when you pull on your favorite clothes. Fortunately, you can get a little extra help thanks to technology that literally freezes – and eliminates – fat cells.
Here’s what you need to know about Cryoskin and Coolsculpting treatments before you make your first appointment.
What is Cryoskin Treatment?
Cryoskin treatments are versatile, giving the client and the technician the option of choosing slimming or toning choices. Slimming freezes and destroys fat cells from the target area while toning blasts the appearance of cellulite by increasing circulation and your body’s natural collagen production.
Beyond being versatile and quite effective, Cryoskin treatments are also easy. Your technician will use a tool that becomes cold, moving it around your target areas. Some clients choose places like their tummy or thighs, while others may choose their lower back. Nearly any area on the body can benefit from this targeted approach with Cryoskin. Treatments are quick and painless, leaving fat cells frozen and dead for good.
How is it different from Coolsculpting?
Cryoskin is considered the newest version of fat-freezing technology. Coolsculpting treatments were the pioneer, but these treatments are now antiquated. Clients who endure Coolsculpting treatments still get fat cells frozen, but the process is more arduous (and annoying). While Cryoskin treatments require only one instrument, clients sitting through Coolsculpting treatments need to sit with paddles suctioned to their problem areas for hours.
How can I get Cryoskin in the Chicago suburbs?
Cryoskin treatments are effective, easy, and will fit your budget. If you are ready to schedule your first treatment, call Beauty and Body by Mia. With years of experience working with clients throughout the Chicagoland area, I can work with you to make sure we give you the treatments you need to feel confident as you walk out of my door.
