You Can Get Your Pre-Pregnancy Body Back With Body Contouring

Body contouring could help you get your pre-pregnancy body

It’s no secret that having a baby is a life-changing experience. A new baby brings excitement and love to the family, but all too often, pregnancy and childbirth can leave you with a body you don’t recognize.

The changes that pregnancy causes can make you feel out of touch with your body. Low body confidence is common among new moms, and even if you have the best exercise and nutrition habits, you might be dealing with frustrating pockets of fat that just won’t disappear.

If you’re bothered by the way your body looks after having a baby, it’s time to learn more about body contouring. It’s not a weight-loss solution, but it can be a great tool for women struggling to shed that lingering baby fat around the stomach, hips, and thighs.

Body contouring could help you get your pre-pregnancy body — and your confidence — back. Turn to the aesthetic specialists at SkinReMEDI to find the latest in noninvasive body contouring, including CoolSculpting® and UltraShape® Power.

How pregnancy changes your body

Your body goes through a dramatic transformation when you’re pregnant. As your baby grows, the muscles, tissue, and skin around your abdomen all stretch to make room. Hormones and milk production cause your breasts to grow, and many women find they lose their sense of self with all these changes.

In addition to the weight of a growing baby, most women gain extra weight themselves during pregnancy. Some weight gain is essential for the health of you and your baby, but an estimated 48% of women gain more than the recommended amount of weight.

Every woman and every pregnancy is different. Some women don’t mind the changes their bodies go through with pregnancy. But if you find your confidence has been negatively impacted, you’re not alone.

Body contouring is an aesthetic option that puts you in control of your appearance once again. It can help reduce stubborn pockets of fat that don’t go away with a healthy diet and exercise alone, and it can help restore some of that pre-baby confidence.

Regain your pre-baby confidence with body contouring

Shedding the baby weight and regaining your pre-pregnancy physique isn’t always easy, and in some cases, it’s impossible to do on your own.

Our team at SkinReMEDI is proud to give patients options when it comes to noninvasive body contouring. We offer customized contouring treatments with two FDA-cleared body contouring systems: CoolSculpting and UltraShape Power.

CoolSculpting

CoolSculpting is a noninvasive method of body contouring with fat-freezing technology. The system is equipped with several applicators that our aesthetician places over the treatment area.

The device sends cooling energy straight to the layer of fat below your skin, and the deep cold freezes fat cells. Freezing kills the fat cells without damaging surrounding tissue, and then your body works to eliminate the dead cells.

CoolSculpting can tone all the most common trouble spots for new moms, like the abdomen, flanks, buttocks, and thighs, but it doesn’t stop there. It can also treat other areas across the body, like your upper arms, upper back, and even under the chin.

UltraShape Power

UltraShape Power is a noninvasive body contouring system that uses ultrasound technology to break up stubborn fat. Our team may recommend UltraShape Power if you’re seeking fat reduction in your abdomen, flanks, and thighs.

The handheld device sends focused ultrasound energy at a therapeutic depth within the treatment area. The energy targets fat cells and destroys fat cell membrane, while leaving surrounding tissue intact. Once fat cell membranes are damaged, your body naturally processes and disposes of the fat cells.

Both CoolSculpting and UltraShape Power rely on your body’s lymphatic system to naturally eliminate those unwanted fat cells. Your results will begin developing over the following weeks, with optimal results appearing a few months after your treatment.

You don’t have to accept the body changes that pregnancy brings. Our aestheticians are here to recommend a personalized body contouring treatment plan to help you feel confident in your skin again. Contact us online or call our Alpharetta or Atlanta, Georgia, offices for a consultation.
