What Is Body Contouring — and Can It Really Help Without Surgery?
As the weather warms up, more clients ask about treatments to tighten, reshape, or smooth areas of the body — without going under the knife.
That’s where non-surgical body contouring comes in.
At Platinum Cosmetics in Port Melbourne, we use a combination of laser and other technologies to target fat cells, stimulate collagen, and firm the skin — all without downtime or incisions.
Here’s how it works, what it can help with, and what to expect.
What Is Non-Surgical Body Contouring?
Body contouring is a term used to describe treatments that reshape or refine the silhouette.
It’s not about weight loss — it’s about targeting areas of stubborn fat, reducing laxity, and improving the overall appearance of skin and shape.
We use advanced laser platforms that:
Heat and shrink fat cells (without damaging the skin)
Stimulate collagen and elastin production
Firm and tighten loose or crepey skin
Improve circulation and lymphatic drainage
Popular Treatment Areas
Abdomen
Flanks (love handles)
Inner or outer thighs
Upper arms
Back (bra-line or underarm area)
Double chin or jawline
Who Is It For?
Body contouring is ideal for people who:
Are close to their goal weight but have small pockets of fat
Want to tighten loose skin after weight loss or pregnancy
Prefer a non-invasive, gradual option
Can commit to a short course of treatments and a healthy lifestyle
What to Expect
Most clients need 4–6 sessions, spaced weekly or fortnightly
Treatments take 30–60 minutes depending on the area
No downtime — you can return to your day immediately
Results appear gradually, improving over 6–12 weeks
To maximise results, we often recommend pairing with:
Hydration and home care
Regular movement and lymphatic support
Occasional top-up sessions
