What Is Body Contouring — And Is It Right for You?
Not all aesthetic treatments are about the face. At Platinum Cosmetics, we also offer non-surgical body contouring treatments designed to support skin firmness, shape, and tone — without invasive procedures or long recovery times.
Here’s what you need to know about how body contouring works, what results to expect, and who it’s best suited for.
What Is Body Contouring?
Body contouring refers to a range of non-invasive treatments that aim to improve the appearance of certain areas of the body. This can include reducing stubborn areas of fat, improving skin tightness, or targeting specific zones like the abdomen, thighs, or arms.
At our Port Melbourne clinic, we use energy-based technology to gently heat the deeper layers of the skin and underlying tissue. This process helps stimulate collagen, improve circulation, and create a firmer, more defined appearance over time.

Who Is It Suitable For?
Body contouring is best suited for clients who are already living a healthy lifestyle but want a little extra support in targeted areas. It’s not a weight loss solution, but rather a way to enhance body shape, skin tone, and overall appearance.
We commonly treat areas such as:
Abdomen and flanks
Inner and outer thighs
Upper arms
Under the chin (submental area)
During your consultation, we’ll assess whether this treatment is right for your goals and expectations.
What Does the Treatment Involve?
Most treatments involve a warming sensation as energy is delivered to the targeted tissue. Sessions typically last between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the area being treated. There’s no downtime, and you can return to normal activities straight after.
A course of treatments is usually recommended — often weekly sessions over 4 to 6 weeks — for best results. You may start to notice gradual improvement in skin tone and contour as your body responds.
Can It Be Combined With Other Treatments?
Yes. Many clients choose to complement their body contouring treatments with skin-firming facials, lymphatic massage, or skin care to support overall skin health. It’s also common to combine facial and body treatments as part of a seasonal refresh or pre-event plan.
