How much does body sculpting cost in San Antonio? Here is everything you need to know about body sculpting costs in San Antonio.

The Price of Body Sculpting by Technique in San Antonio

1. Laser Therapies 

An alternative to traditional liposuction that is minimally invasive is laser therapy that is meant for people who do not necessarily want to undergo lipo but have more fat to lose than one of these other body sculpting techniques would be able to handle.

 

There is a laser fat removal technique called SculpSure that is completely non-invasive and could cost you an average of $1,400 to $1,500, according to Healthline.

1. Cryolipolysis Therapies

Commonly known as fat freezing, this is a non-surgical fat reduction technique that utilizes medical-grade Cryolipolysis machines to freeze and permanently destroy fat cells in your targeted area. 

 

A brand of Cryolipolysis fat reduction is CoolSculpting that has been around since 2012 that is best known for treating areas like the jawline, flanks, abs, double chins, and more. CoolSculpting costs anywhere from $2,000 to $4,000, depending on the number of sessions that you are going to need, and the area that you are targeting.

1. Radio Applications

To melt away the stubborn fat cells, radiofrequency body contouring treatments use heat energy by using a highly-targeted sensor that would automatically calculate how much energy is needed for the targeted areas and eliminate stubborn fat cells for good. 

 

There is a radiofrequency sculpting technique called TruSculpt iD from Cutera that could reduce fat cells by up to 24 percent in as little as 15 minutes. It would usually only cost you an average of only $750.

1. Ultrasound Techniques

Ultrasound techniques destroy fat cells with energy, much like radiofrequency contouring, but in this case, the energy comes from ultrasound vibrations. Small fat reductions, especially on the stomach, are usually the type of body sculpting that this is being used for. 

 

The very first body contouring technology to hit the market is the UltraShape. It is FDA-approved, safe and effective, and the cost of UltraShape could be found somewhere in between $1,000 and $4,5000.

Additional Cost Factors to Consider

1. Work missed

You have to remember the time that you are going to have to miss at work when you are calculating the cost of your body sculpting procedure, which means that you are going to have to consider how much time you are going to miss from work per session and for recovery. 

 

The recommended wait between sessions by non-invasive fat loss professionals is about 3 days, which means that you could complete 2 to 3 sessions within two weeks since, generally speaking, a single fat reduction procedure would last between 15 minutes and an hour. 

1. Target body area

Approved areas of your body that you could use body contouring methods on:

• Stomach
• Abdomen
• Butt and flank
• Arms
• Thighs
• Double chin

 

Sculpting a smaller body region would always cost less than a larger one when it comes

to the price of body sculpting. It would be much pricier to contour your entire stomach compared to when you want to contour the neck fat on your jawline. 

 

It costs more to treat multiple areas on the same body part and you could find that the price to contour both arms or thighs is much higher compared to when you have one arm or thigh. It is also important to note that it would be more expensive to contour both your inner and outer thigh, compared to contouring your inner thigh alone.

1. Number of sessions

How many times do you do CoolSculpting? How long does body sculpting last for? If you have more fat that you have to lose, having one body sculpting session may not be enough to get the results you want. About one and four treatments for the best result are usually the recommendation of most nonsurgical fat reduction professionals. 

 

The price of the procedure gets higher when you need more sessions, but need not worry, many providers would offer you a discount, the more sessions that you book, to help lower the total cost of all of your procedures. 

 

The technique of body sculpting that is used on you, the body part that you want to target, and the number of sessions needed to achieve your desired results would tell you the cost that you are going to need to pay. That and the additional costs are something you are going to have to consider when you are planning a body sculpting procedure.
