Body Contouring · Prescott, AZ
Shape and strengthen — without surgery or downtime
Sometimes the scale isn't the problem. You've been working hard, and there's still a stubborn area that won't change, or muscle tone that isn't coming back the way it used to. Non-surgical body contouring treatments can help refine shape and tone in specific areas — and when you're working on weight loss too, they can complement (not replace) that work.
Body contouring vs. weight loss
These treatments are designed for shaping, not for reducing overall body weight. If your goal is meaningful weight loss, our Medical Weight Loss program is the better starting point — and many patients add body contouring once they're closer to their goals.

Emerald Laser
Emerald is a low-level laser that is FDA-cleared for circumference reduction of the waist, hips and thighs. The laser light is thought to create a temporary opening in fat cells, letting stored fat move out of the cell to be processed by the body. There's no heat, no pain and no downtime — you simply lie under the laser.
- Typical plan: a series of short sessions over several weeks
- Works best with: staying hydrated and staying active between sessions
- Good to know: results vary from person to person; we'll measure before and after
Emsculpt
Emsculpt uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy to cause powerful muscle contractions — far more than you could achieve through voluntary exercise in the same time. Over a series of treatments, this may help build muscle and improve tone and definition.
- Treatment areas: abdomen, buttocks, arms, calves, thighs
- Typical plan: about four 30-minute sessions over two weeks
- Feels like: an intense workout; you may feel sore afterward
- Not for: people with pacemakers, metal or electronic implants in the treatment area, or who are pregnant
KumaShape Body Contouring Treatment
KumaShape combines radiofrequency (RF) energy, infrared light, mechanical roller massage, and vacuum technology to help improve the appearance of cellulite, enhance skin firmness, and promote smoother, more contoured skin. Radiofrequency and Infrared Light Radiofrequency energy and infrared light work together to gently heat targeted tissue, supporting collagen remodeling and helping improve the appearance of skin firmness and texture. Mechanical Roller Massage The mechanical rollers stimulate local circulation and promote lymphatic drainage, helping temporarily reduce puffiness and improve the appearance of uneven skin texture and cellulite. Vacuum Technology Controlled suction gently lifts and draws tissue toward the rollers, enhancing tissue manipulation and allowing the treatment to focus on specific areas of concern.Potential Benefits
- Cellulite Reduction: Helps minimize the appearance of dimpled or "orange peel" skin.
- Body Contouring: Supports a smoother, more sculpted appearance in targeted areas.
- Post-Liposuction Appearance: May help improve the appearance of uneven skin texture following liposuction, when cleared by the treating surgeon.
- Postpartum Body Contouring: May help address changes in skin texture and appearance following pregnancy, once medically appropriate.
- Skin Firming: Helps improve the appearance of mild skin laxity for a smoother, firmer-looking surface.
HIFU
High-intensity focused ultrasound delivers precise heat beneath the skin without affecting the surface.
On the face and neck, HIFU heats deep supporting layers to stimulate collagen and may provide a subtle lift of the brow, jawline and neck over 2–3 months.
On the body, focused ultrasound can target fat cells in specific areas such as the abdomen and flanks.
- Feels like: quick pulses of deep heat; some patients find it uncomfortable
- Downtime: minimal — possible redness, swelling or tenderness
- Results: develop gradually over a few months
Frequently Asked Questions
Which one should I choose?
It depends on whether your goal is inch reduction, muscle tone, skin tightening, or smoothing — and on your budget and timeline. Many patients combine treatments. We'll recommend a plan after an honest assessment.
Are the results permanent?
Results can last when you maintain a stable weight and active lifestyle. Muscle built with Emsculpt needs maintenance just like muscle built in the gym.
Who is NOT a candidate?
Pregnant patients, and depending on the device, people with pacemakers, metal implants, certain medical conditions, or active skin issues in the treatment area.
