Body contouring targets areas where fat accumulation, loose skin, or lack of muscle definition are concerns. Common areas include:
Body contouring addresses various aesthetic concerns, including:
At Lux Medical Aesthetic Clinic, we offer various services designed to support your body contouring goals and address aesthetic concerns, whether you’re aiming to reduce stubborn fat, target specific areas, or improve overall tone.
High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is a non-surgical body contouring treatment that employs focused ultrasound waves to target fat cells in specific body areas. The thermal energy produced helps destroy fat cells, which the body processes and eliminates over time. This treatment also promotes collagen production, enhancing skin elasticity, firmness, and texture.
Target areas include the thighs, arms, flanks (love handles), buttocks, and back.
MediSculpt is a body sculpting treatment that uses high-intensity electromagnetic stimulation (HIFEM) to encourage fat reduction and skin tightening. HIFEM technology induces 20,000 strong muscular contractions during each thirty-minute session. These intense contractions stimulate fat cell breakdown for energy. As the muscles contract, they draw energy from fat stores, naturally reducing fat without the need for invasive techniques. Target areas often include the abdomen, arms, buttocks, and thighs.
Target areas often include the abdomen, arms, buttocks and thighs.
The Venus Legacy system combines Multi-Polar Radio Frequency and Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields to reduce cellulite, contour the body, and tighten skin. This treatment heats the tissue to stimulate collagen production and improve skin elasticity.
At Lux Medical Aesthetic Clinic, we use Venus Legacy Varipulse™ technology, which includes a gentle massage and suction effect to enhance the treatment’s efficacy, support lymphatic drainage, and improve blood circulation.
It can be beneficial for treating areas such as the back, hips, thighs, buttocks, and abdomen.
Fractional CO2 laser treatment delivers concentrated beams of light that penetrate the skin, creating controlled micro-injuries in areas with stretch marks This process stimulates healing and promotes collagen and elastin production in the affected areas. Stretch marks become less noticeable as fresh tissue replaces damaged skin.
The treatment targets various body parts, including the abdomen, hips, and thighs.
Calf reduction involves administering injections into the gastrocnemius muscle, which contributes to the bulkiness of the calves, resulting in a temporary reduction in muscle activity. The dosage typically ranges from 80 to 100 units per calf, though it may vary depending on the size of the muscle.
This reduction in muscle activity leads to gradual atrophy, with visible calf slimming appearing a few weeks after the injections.
Fat Freezing, also known as Cryolipolysis, is a non-invasive procedure that targets fat cells by freezing them. The cold exposure induces apoptosis (programmed cell death) in fat cells while sparing surrounding tissues. Over the following weeks and months, the body metabolises and naturally eliminates the dead fat cells through the lymphatic system.
Lux Medical Aesthetic uses CLATUU Fat Freezing technology, which features a dual applicator, enabling the simultaneous treatment of two areas. It also employs a unique 360-degree cooling system to provide even and consistent cooling of the targeted fat cells.
This method is commonly used to target the abdomen, love handles, and thighs.
ReduStim is a non-invasive treatment designed to reduce excess abdominal fat, particularly visceral fat, which is associated with various health risks. Visceral fat accumulates around vital organs in the abdominal cavity, including the liver, intestines, and stomach. Excess visceral fat is considered a significant health risk because it can increase the chance of developing chronic diseases (ex., stroke, heart disease, and Type 2 diabetes), chronic inflammation and hormonal imbalances.
Utilising a technology known as BioStimology, ReduStim combines low-frequency biomagnetic fields and micro-pressure massage to stimulate the breaking down of fat and promote lymphatic drainage.
It is commonly used on the abdomen, thighs, and arms.
Choosing the right body contouring procedure is crucial for achieving your desired results. Here are some factors to consider:
Body Areas of Concern
Identify the specific areas you want to target to help narrow down potential treatments.
Desired Outcome
Clearly define your goals, whether it’s fat reduction, skin tightening, or improving muscle tone. Having well-defined objectives will help in selecting a procedure that meets your expectations.
Medical History
Discuss your medical history and any underlying health conditions with your doctor, as they may impact the suitability of certain procedures.
Downtime Tolerance
Consider how much time you can dedicate to recovery. Non-surgical options generally require less downtime than surgical procedures.
A personalised consultation at Lux Medical Aesthetic Clinic is important for determining the most suitable procedure based on your needs. Our experienced doctor will evaluate your concerns and recommend the best course of action.

The consultation process is a critical first step in your body contouring journey. During your consultation at Lux Medical Aesthetic Clinic, the following will take place:
Preparation: An ultrasound gel is applied to the cleansed treatment area to aid in transmitting the ultrasound waves and enhancing the effectiveness of the HIFU device.
Device Application: The HIFU handpiece will deliver focused ultrasound energy to the targeted fat cells beneath the skin, targeting stubborn fat deposits while leaving the surrounding tissues unharmed.
Minimal discomfort may occur, often described as a warming sensation or slight tingling. Pain management may involve a topical numbing cream or oral painkillers. The downtime is minimal to none.
Preparation: Clothing and accessories containing metal are removed. The treatment area is cleansed and exposed.
Device Application: The equipment handpiece is placed above the treatment area. The device is activated, and the intensity of electromagnetic stimulation gradually increases to a comfortable level. A warm sensation and slight muscle fatigue may be experienced.
The Medisculpt procedure has no downtime, and patients can resume normal activities immediately after the procedure.
Preparation: The treatment area should be clean and free from lotions and creams.
Device Application: The heated applicator is applied to the targeted area, emitting radiofrequency energy that penetrates the skin. The temperature is gradually increased to a comfortable level, which allows for effective treatment without causing discomfort. During the procedure, you may feel a warm sensation and gentle suction on the skin.
After treatment, the area may appear slightly red or flushed due to increased blood circulation, but this usually subsides within a few hours. Venus Legacy treatments have minimal to no downtime, allowing you to resume normal activities immediately after the procedure.
Preparation: The treatment area is cleaned
Injection Process: The injection site on the gastrocnemius muscle is marked, and small injections are administered to relax the calf muscles, reducing their size. The effects are gradual, as the muscles need time to absorb the injections.
Mild swelling and redness may occur immediately after the injection but usually subside within an hour. Results usually seen in 6-8 weeks.
Preparation: The treatment area is marked, and a protective gel pad is applied to prevent skin damage.
Device application: The device is activated, and controlled cooling is applied to target the fat cells. Patients may initially feel a cold sensation, which typically subsides to numbness as the area adapts to the cooling. After the device is removed, the treated area is usually massaged to help break down the crystallised fat cells and promote better results.
You can resume regular activities immediately after the procedure, as there is no downtime associated with fat freezing.
Preparation: Topical numbing cream is applied to the treatment area for comfort.
Laser Treatment: The Fractional CO2 laser device is calibrated based on the specific skin type and condition of the stretch marks. The laser creates micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen production.
Redness and a slight tingling sensation may occur after the procedure, but these effects are temporary.
Preparation: The patient lies down, and adjustable active straps are wrapped around the abdomen, thighs, calves, or arms to provide controlled micro-pressure. Recommend to wear comfortable shorts or thin pants.
Device application: The ReduStim device is activated, and low-frequency magnetic fields induce fat lipolysis and stimulate lymphatic drainage.
No downtime is required for ReduStim treatment, and patients can resume daily activities after the session.
tAfter body contouring treatment, you can expect gradual improvements in the treated area. In general, maintaining healthy habits and regular exercise may help prolong and enhance the results. Additional aftercare instructions include:
Stay hydrated, as this may aid the body’s natural elimination processes following HIFU treatment.
Avoid hot tubs, saunas, and hot showers for a few days post-treatment to allow the skin time to recover
For Fractional laser treatment, moisturise the treated area regularly and apply sun protection as directed.
After calf reduction injections, it’s recommended to avoid massaging the treated area.
Most of these treatments involve minimal to no downtime, allowing patients to return to normal activities soon after. Specific aftercare instructions will vary based on the treatment and individual needs.
