A closer look

About Body Technology

Ask whether a proposed device addresses localized volume, muscle appearance or the look of skin. Bring information about prior procedures and any implants so the clinician can check device-specific restrictions.

How should I compare body technologies?

Compare the exact device, intended body area, expected effect and risks. FDA notes that non-invasive contouring does not provide the health benefits of weight loss.

What should I review before deciding?

Ask about the exact treatment, risks, alternatives, recovery and full cost. An assessment helps determine whether an option is appropriate for you.
