What is Body Sculpting?

What happens during a Masters Clinic Body Sculpting session?

Pictures are taken of the areas chosen for Body Sculpting and placed in your file. Dr. Masters marks the areas of the body chosen for fat removal. A Tumescent (numbing) fluid is injected to numb the areas. Dr Masters uses a specially designed canula that is inserted beneath the skin to disrupt and break up the connective tissue anchoring the fat cells, causing them to rupture and easily suction away. Small blood vessels constrict from a medication in the Tumescent fluid resulting in less bleeding and swelling. When the desired shape is obtained, Dr. Masters uses a canula designed to stimulate collagen formation resulting in skin tightening and smoothness.
