Tired of Stubborn Fat? Learn if You're a Candidate for Body Contouring
You eat right, exercise, sleep well — you check all the boxes, and still, you haven’t seen the fat loss you were expecting. You’re not alone. Many people struggle with stubborn pockets of fat, no matter how consistent they are.
Enter body contouring.
Body contouring treatments like Reaction™ by Viora are a nonsurgical approach to fat loss that targets problem areas without downtime or invasive procedures.
How do you know if it’s right for you? Divina Averilla, MD, and our team at Love Your Body Medical Spa in Las Vegas, Nevada, answer that question and more in this blog.
What body contouring is
Body contouring refers to noninvasive treatments designed to reduce stubborn fat, improve skin tone, and enhance overall body shape. These treatments don’t replace weight-loss efforts, but they can refine areas that remain resistant despite healthy habits.
Reaction by Viora is a popular option because it goes beyond fat reduction alone. It uses radiofrequency energy combined with CORE™ technology to heat deeper tissue layers. This helps shrink fat cells, tighten skin, and stimulate collagen production all at the same time.
What body contouring is not
It’s important to set realistic expectations. Body contouring is not a substitute for weight loss, and it won’t dramatically change your body overnight.
Think of it as the finishing touch that helps you feel more confident in clothes and more comfortable in your own skin. When paired with healthy habits, results tend to be more satisfying and longer-lasting.
How it all works
Reaction treatments deliver controlled radiofrequency energy to targeted areas of your body. CORE technology enables real-time adjustment of treatment based on tissue resistance, helping ensure consistent energy delivery and patient comfort.
As we gently heat the tissue, fat cells are affected, and collagen fibers begin to contract and rebuild. Over time, your body naturally processes the treated fat cells, while the skin becomes firmer and smoother.
Most describe the treatment as feeling like a warm massage. Bonus: There’s no anesthesia, no needles, and no downtime required.
Are you a candidate?
Body contouring is most effective for people who are close to their goal weight but struggling with specific areas. It’s not designed for significant weight loss; it's for shaping and tightening.
You may be a good candidate if:
- You have stubborn fat that doesn’t respond to diet and exercise
- You’re noticing mild to moderate skin laxity
- You want a non-surgical option with little to no downtime
- You’re looking for gradual, natural-looking results
Common treatment areas include the abdomen, thighs, flanks, arms, and buttocks. Many of our patients also love that skin tightening is part of the process, especially after weight loss or pregnancy.
Waiting for your results
Results with any body contouring system are gradual, which is often a good thing. Your body needs time to process fat cells and rebuild collagen, so changes typically become more noticeable over several weeks.
Most treatment plans involve a series of sessions rather than a one-time visit. This allows results to build over time and helps achieve smoother, more balanced outcomes.
Say goodbye to stubborn fat
If stubborn fat is affecting how you feel about your body despite your efforts, body contouring can be an empowering option, addressing both fat and skin laxity in a single, non-invasive procedure.
