Non-Surgical Body
Contouring in Flint, MI
Some areas do not change no matter how well you eat. For a lot of people in Flint and Genesee County that is the lower belly, the hips, or the thighs. Non-surgical body contouring is for exactly that: reshaping a stubborn area without surgery, needles, or time off work.
At Body Trim we do it with invisa-RED, an FDA-cleared laser treatment, and we measure every result with Styku 3D body scanning. Here is what that involves, what it can and cannot do, and how to tell whether it is the right first step for you.

How it works
How Non-Surgical Body Contouring Works
Non-invasive body contouring devices work on the fat cells just under the skin, and they fall into a few families: some use cold, some use heat or radiofrequency energy, and some use light. Body Trim uses light.
invisa-RED sends two wavelengths of laser light, red and near-infrared, through the skin to the fat layer underneath. That energy prompts fat cells in stubborn fat deposits to release some of their stored lipids, which is why your measurements can come down without an incision. Each session takes about 20 minutes, and you go straight back to your day.
Before you start, your provider builds a personalized treatment plan: which areas, the number of sessions needed, and whether contouring or weight management should come first. A Styku 3D scan records your body shape at the start, so the change is measured rather than guessed. It is a cosmetic treatment for areas that resist diet and exercise, not a substitute for them.
Honest expectations
What Contouring Can and Cannot Do
It can reduce the circumference of your waist, hips, and thighs. In the randomized, double-blind study the FDA reviewed for invisa-RED, treated patients lost an estimated 6.9 more combined inches than patients treated with a sham device.
It cannot replace weight loss. The reduction is temporary, and it does not touch visceral fat, the deeper fat around your organs that drives most of the health risk. No device can spot-reduce fat permanently.
It works best when you are at or near a healthy weight with one or two stubborn areas, and when you keep up the eating habits that got you there. If you have more weight to lose, our medical weight loss program is the better first step, and contouring can come later.
Individual results vary.

Body Contouring FAQ
What is non-surgical body contouring?
Body contouring, sometimes called body sculpting, reshapes specific areas of the body without surgery. At Body Trim that means invisa-RED, an FDA-cleared laser treatment for the temporary reduction of waist, hip, and thigh circumference, measured before and after with Styku 3D body scanning.
Does non-surgical body contouring actually work?
For the right person, yes, within limits. In the randomized, double-blind study behind invisa-RED's FDA clearance, treated patients lost an estimated 6.9 more combined inches of waist, hip, and thigh circumference than patients treated with a sham device. It works best on stubborn fat in someone already near a healthy weight. Individual results vary, which is why we measure with Styku before and after.
How long do body contouring results last?
invisa-RED is cleared for a temporary reduction in circumference, so results are not permanent. They tend to hold up longer with a healthy lifestyle: steady eating habits, protein, and regular activity. We will not promise a timeline for any one person.
Is non-surgical body contouring safe?
invisa-RED is FDA-cleared, and no adverse effects or complications were reported in its clearance study. There are no incisions, needles, or anesthesia. Your provider reviews your health history at the consultation before recommending treatment.
Can body contouring get rid of belly fat?
It can reduce the measurements of your waist temporarily, which is why people use it for a stubborn belly area. It does not remove the deeper visceral fat around your organs, which is the fat that matters most for health. Weight loss is what changes that, so many patients pair contouring with our physician-supervised program.
Is body contouring the same as laser lipo?
No. Liposuction is surgery. "Laser lipo" is a marketing term for non-invasive light treatments. invisa-RED involves no incisions, no needles, and no recovery time.
Do you offer fat freezing?
No. Body Trim no longer offers cold-based fat reduction. invisa-RED is our body contouring service today.
How long does a treatment take?
An invisa-RED session takes about 20 minutes. A Styku scan takes about 35 seconds. Your provider recommends the number of sessions at your free consultation.
How much does body contouring cost in Flint?
Pricing is quoted at your free consultation because it depends on the areas and number of sessions. Styku scanning is priced separately. We are self-pay, and financing is available through CareCredit and Advance Care.
