Losing weight isn’t always as straightforward as diet and exercise. Many of our clients come to us feeling frustrated by stubborn fat pockets, cellulite, or areas that simply won’t shift despite their best efforts.
Today, we are spoilt for choice when it comes to non-surgical treatments that are designed to complement your weight loss efforts. From fat reduction and body sculpting to cellulite smoothing and lymphatic drainage, these treatments target specific concerns to help you feel more confident in your body.
In this article, we’re exploring some of our most effective weight loss and body contouring treatments. Whether you’re looking to slim down and shape a specific area or improve the tone and texture of your skin, we take a look at your options and offer insight as to what to expect.
The Difference Between Weight Loss & Body Contouring
When considering aesthetic treatments, it’s helpful to understand the distinction between weight loss and body contouring. While they often go hand in hand, they address different goals.
Weight loss typically refers to a reduction in overall body weight, which can be achieved through lifestyle changes or medically prescribed treatments such as weight loss injections. These can be particularly helpful for individuals struggling with appetite control or managing their weight long-term.
Body contouring, meanwhile, is about refining your shape. These treatments focus on reducing fat in specific areas, tightening the skin, and improving overall tone and texture, even if your weight remains stable. Many people turn to body contouring to tackle areas that resist diet and exercise, such as the stomach, thighs, or upper arms.
Both weight loss & body contouring treatments can provide incredible results to reshape your body and achieve a healthier, more confident version of yourself.
How Weight Loss Injections Support Sustainable Weight Loss
For those who struggle to lose weight through diet and exercise alone, prescription weight loss injectables can offer a clinically backed, sustainable solution. These treatments work by mimicking naturally occurring hormones that regulate appetite and satiety, helping to reduce cravings, improve portion control, and promote gradual, healthy fat loss. When overseen by medical professionals and supported by lifestyle guidance, weight loss injections can be a powerful part of a long-term weight management strategy.
Wegovy®
Wegovy® is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that helps regulate appetite and reduce food intake by mimicking a hormone that naturally controls hunger. It’s particularly effective for individuals with a higher BMI or weight-related health issues, supporting gradual fat loss without the need for extreme diets. At our clinic, Wegovy® is prescribed by qualified medical professionals as part of a personalised weight management plan.
Mounjaro®
Mounjaro® (tirzepatide) is a dual-action injectable that targets both GLP-1 and GIP receptors to enhance appetite suppression and improve insulin sensitivity. Clinical studies have shown it to deliver significant weight loss results, especially in patients with type 2 diabetes or insulin resistance. We offer Mounjaro® as part of a structured, medically guided programme tailored to each individual’s goals and health needs.
Laser-Assisted Fat Reduction
Laser technology has become a popular option for non-surgical fat reduction, offering a precise and gentle way to target stubborn areas without the need for incisions or recovery time. These treatments work by using specific wavelengths of light energy to disrupt fat cells beneath the skin, triggering the body’s natural processes to break them down and eliminate them over time.
Unlike more aggressive methods, laser-assisted fat reduction is painless, requires no downtime, and can be tailored to suit a wide range of body types and treatment areas. It’s particularly beneficial for those looking to enhance their shape gradually and comfortably.
Emerald, offered at our clinic, is especially well suited to those with a higher BMI or anyone seeking a gentle, full-body reduction in circumference. With no discomfort and no downtime, it offers an ideal starting point for individuals looking to ease into their fat loss journey through non-invasive means.
Targeting Stubborn Fat with Non-Surgical Body Sculpting
If you find yourself struggling with pockets of fat that don’t respond to diet or exercise, non-surgical body sculpting can offer a safe and effective solution.
There are a number of body sculpting treatments available, each using a unique approach to shape and contour the body by destroying fat cells while simultaneously toning the muscles beneath. At Light Touch Clinic, we offer various body sculpting treatments, including CoolSculpting and Exilis Elite, but the best choice for you will depend entirely on your goals.
We offer a consultation before any body sculpting treatment to better understand what you want to achieve with the treatment, and then we can advise the best treatment for you.
These treatments are ideal for areas like the abdomen, thighs, arms, or buttocks, places where many of us naturally store fat. Results develop gradually over time, giving you a more sculpted, toned appearance without invasive procedures.
Freezing Fat: Reshaping the Body With Cryolipolysis
Cryolipolysis, also known as fat freezing, is a game-changer for reducing stubborn fat in a non-invasive way. CoolSculpting® is a world-renowned treatment that uses controlled cooling to freeze and eliminate fat cells without damaging the surrounding tissue.
The Power of Radiofrequency for Fat Reduction & Skin Tightening
Some clients are concerned not just with fat reduction, but with skin laxity, especially after losing weight. That’s where radiofrequency (RF) comes in.
The Exilis Elite device, used in our clinic, combines RF and ultrasound technology to simultaneously melt fat and tighten the skin.
This dual-action approach makes it ideal for the face and body, especially in areas like the jawline, arms, and stomach. The treatment is comfortable, with no downtime, and delivers visible improvements in contour and skin firmness.
Cellulite Reduction for a Smoother, More Toned Appearance
Cellulite is a common concern, even for those who are slim or physically fit. It often appears on the thighs, buttocks, and hips, creating a dimpled or uneven texture. It can also be difficult to get rid of through dieting and exercise alone.
We offer Unison cellulite treatment at our clinic in Surrey. This advanced device combines radiofrequency and targeted pressure energy to break down fat, stimulate collagen, and improve circulation.
This helps to smooth the skin and improve elasticity, resulting in a visible reduction in the appearance of cellulite. Treatments are quick, comfortable, and perfect for anyone looking to refine their silhouette without surgery.
Lymphatic Drainage For a Healthier Appearance
You may not realise just how much your lymphatic system affects your shape, energy, and overall wellbeing. Poor lymphatic drainage can lead to water retention, bloating, puffiness, and a general feeling of heaviness. These effects not only impact how you feel but can also alter the shape and tone of your body.
Lymphatic drainage treatments are designed to stimulate this system, helping to flush out excess fluid and metabolic waste, reduce swelling, and promote better circulation. Although not a weight loss treatment in the traditional sense, lymphatic drainage can significantly improve body contour and support the effectiveness of fat reduction procedures by enhancing the body’s ability to eliminate disrupted fat cells.
At Light Touch Clinic, we offer Body Ballancer®, a medical-grade compression therapy that mimics the movements of manual lymphatic drainage. It delivers a relaxing massage through a specialised suit, gently stimulating lymph flow to reduce bloating, improve skin tone, and leave you feeling lighter and more energised. It’s the perfect complement to our fat loss treatments, helping to maximise results and restore balance to the body.
Combining Treatments for Holistic, Long-Lasting Results
There’s no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to achieving your body goals, which is why combining treatments often delivers the most comprehensive and natural-looking results. Each treatment addresses a different concern, and when used together strategically, they can complement one another to enhance overall outcomes.
For example, CoolSculpting® is excellent for eliminating stubborn fat in specific areas, but combining it with lymphatic drainage using Body Ballancer® can accelerate the body’s natural detoxification process and reduce post-treatment swelling. Similarly, once fat has been reduced, devices like Exilis Elite can be used to firm and tighten the skin, helping to refine the final contour and avoid any loose or crepey texture.
During your consultation, we’ll assess your current shape, listen to your concerns and goals, and create a bespoke treatment plan that may include a combination of body sculpting, skin tightening, lymphatic drainage, or weight loss injections. Our goal is always to help you achieve balanced, lasting results in a way that’s non-invasive, safe, and tailored entirely to you.
