Remember when keeping your dream body felt easy? Then, almost overnight, life got packed with chores, chaos, and non-stop schedules. Suddenly, finding time to take care of your body feels like a luxury. One day, you catch a glimpse of extra fat on your arms or around your waist.
That’s when you decide. Enough is enough. You start working out. Some areas improve, but those stubborn spots just won’t budge. Is it genetics? Are you doing something wrong? There could be plenty of reasons, but here’s the good news: you don’t have to stress. Body sculpting treatments are made for situations like this. And in this post, you’ll get the full breakdown on what they are, how they work, and whether they’re right for you.
What is Body Sculpting?
Non-surgical body sculpting treatments are designed to reshape and improve the appearance of specific areas of your body.
There are a few different ways these treatments can work, including:
- Heat
- Radiofrequency
- Electromagnetic energy
What’s Our Go-To Method?
At SunsUp Tan & Wellness Spa, we prefer using heat. Our body sculpting treatments combine heat with a specific light wavelength to target stubborn fat.
The process is completely relaxing and pain-free. It works by encouraging fat cells to release stored energy, making it easier for your body to burn it off naturally.
Can Body Sculpting Be Invasive?
The treatments we’ve mentioned so far are all non-invasive. But there are also surgical options like:
- Liposuction
- Tucks and lifts
These are technically considered forms of body sculpting too. The key difference? Surgical methods are invasive, while the treatments we mentioned above are 100% non-invasive.
Body Sculpting Benefits
The biggest benefit of body sculpting is that it allows you to target stubborn fat areas like:
- Belly
- Thighs
- Arms
- Love handles
- Chin
- Back
These are the spots that often refuse to budge. No matter how much you work out or tweak your diet.
You could do crunches every day, but that doesn’t guarantee your belly fat will vanish. Spot reduction just doesn’t work that way.
That’s why body sculpting has become a popular non-surgical option for people who are stuck dealing with those problem areas.
Body Sculpting Pros and Cons
Let’s see what you can expect from body sculpting treatments.
Pros:
- Non-invasive not painful, not introducing instruments into the body)
- No down time – no recovery time
- Targets specific areas of fat
- Quick treatments that fit into a busy schedule
- Faster than a surgery
- Faster than months of a gym routine
- May boost collagen and improve skin elasticity
Cons:
- Depending on your goals, treatments may take more than one session
- Meant to complement a healthy lifestyle
How Body Sculpting Works?
Let’s say your goal is to sculpt your waist. We’ll place 8 paddles around the area, 2 on the lymphnodes on your back, 2 on the lymphnodes in the groin and 4 across the stomach. Each paddle will emit heat and a specific wavelength of light – this light penetrates to your fat cells and drains the stubborn fat into your lymphatic system.
The treatment lasts up to 20 minutes, with the paddles held in place by form fitting clothes or by a strap – very easy. There’s no discomfort at all. On the contrary, most clients find the experience relaxing, even rejuvenating. Time away from distractions, and time to focus on some well-deserved self-care.
Body Sculpting is Only the First Step
To get the best results, body sculpting shouldn’t be the end of the process. That’s why at SunsUp Tan & Wellness Spa, we pair each treatment with our Infrared Calorie Burning Pod or Self Service Infrared Bodywrap.
Think of it as a bonus chill-out treatment… Except you’re burning calories while you relax.
You’ve got two options:
- Calorie Burning Body Pod, which burns between 300 to 600 calories, depending on the mode you select
- Self-Service Infrared Bodywrap that can burn up to 1,400 calories in an hour
This calorie burn supports your weight loss goals and is essential to your body sculpting results.
By burning these extra calories, you can support your weight loss efforts, which can then lead to better body sculpting results.
On top of that, the Infrared Services may also help with:
- Detoxification
- Improved circulation
- Muscle relaxation
- Stress relief
- Skin rejuvenation
- Pain relief
How Many treatments of Body Sculpting Do You Need?
Although you can lose an inch to two inches minimum each time with Body sculpting – for most clients it isn’t a one-and-done treatment. It works best as part of a structured plan.
Each treatment lasts up to 20 minutes, and for optimal results, we recommend two treatments per week. This schedule allows your body time to respond and recover while keeping momentum going.
A full course typically runs over four weeks, making it a total of eight treatments. This approach is designed to support consistent inch loss and visible improvements in areas you’re targeting.
Sticking to the full course gives your body the time it needs to release stored fat, metabolize it effectively, and begin reshaping those stubborn zones.

How to Improve Body Sculpting Results?
Think of body sculpting as a tool… Not a magic fix.
It can absolutely enhance your shape, but lasting results still depend on what you do outside the treatment room.
If you’re already active and just battling stubborn areas, body sculpting can give you that extra edge. But don’t hit pause on your exercise once you start seeing progress.
How Long Do Body Contouring Results Last?
It all depends on what you do after your treatments.
Body sculpting helps shrink fat cells and improve the shape of targeted areas, but it doesn’t stop new fat from forming. That’s why a healthy lifestyle is key. If you keep up with regular exercise and clean eating, your results can be maintained long term. With all that being said, we don’t mean an unrealistic workout routine and extreme dieting – just a healthy lifestyle and take care of yourself.
On the other hand, going back to poor habits can lead to fat returning in the same or other areas. For best results, some people choose to do occasional maintenance treatments to stay on track and continue seeing progress.
