If you’re looking to enhance your body shape without invasive procedures, body contouring might be the solution. At Medical & Aesthetic Dermatology in Columbia, MD, we specialize in non-surgical body contouring options like Evolve and CoolSculpting. Both treatments are designed to help you achieve a slimmer, more sculpted appearance without the need for surgery, downtime, or significant discomfort.
What is Body Contouring?
Body contouring is a term that refers to non-surgical procedures designed to reshape and improve the body’s appearance. It’s an effective way to target stubborn areas of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise, tighten the skin, and improve muscle tone.
Our Non-Surgical Body Contouring Options
1. Evolve by InMode
Evolve is a cutting-edge body contouring platform that uses radiofrequency (RF) energy and electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) to tone, tighten, and sculpt the body.
Areas Commonly Treated with EvolveX:
- Abdomen
- Love handles (flanks)
- Thighs
- Upper arms
- Calves
Benefits of EvolveX:
- Completely non-invasive and painless
- Quick treatment sessions with no downtime

2. CoolSculpting
CoolSculpting is a non-surgical fat reduction treatment that uses controlled cooling to target and eliminate stubborn fat cells.

Choosing the Right Treatment for You
While both Evolve and CoolSculpting offer effective body contouring solutions, the right choice depends on your individual goals and areas of concern. Evolve is ideal for patients looking to address skin laxity, muscle toning, and fat reduction all in one platform, while CoolSculpting is best for those focused on fat reduction alone.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How long does each body contouring session take?
A: Evolve treatments typically last 30-60 minutes, depending on the areas being treated. CoolSculpting sessions can range from 35 minutes to an hour per area. Both treatments are convenient and can often be completed during a lunch break.
Q: Are the results of Evolve and CoolSculpting permanent?
A: Yes, both Evolve and CoolSculpting provide lasting results. Evolve helps tighten skin and tone muscles, while CoolSculpting permanently eliminates fat cells. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is essential to sustain your results.
Q: When will I see results from Evolve or CoolSculpting?
A: With Evolve, you may see noticeable results after a few sessions, with optimal results appearing a few weeks after completing your treatment plan. CoolSculpting results typically become visible after 1-3 months as the body gradually eliminates the frozen fat cells.
Q: Do these treatments hurt?
A: Most patients tolerate both treatments well. Evolve treatments are painless, with only a warm sensation and slight muscle contractions. CoolSculpting may cause some initial discomfort due to the cold, but this usually subsides as the area becomes numb.
Q: Is there any downtime?
A: One of the main advantages of both Evolve and CoolSculpting is that there’s no downtime. Patients can resume their daily activities immediately after the procedure.
Q: Can I combine Evolve and CoolSculpting treatments?
A: Yes, some patients may benefit from combining these treatments. For instance, you may choose CoolSculpting for fat reduction in one area and Evolve for skin tightening and muscle toning in another. During your consultation, we’ll discuss if a combination approach is right for you.
Q: How many sessions will I need?
A: The number of sessions varies depending on your goals and the treatment area. Evolve may require a series of treatments for optimal results, while CoolSculpting often provides noticeable results after one or two sessions per area. Our team will create a customized plan tailored to your needs.
