NON-INJECTABLE BODY TREATMENTS
Aesthetic Medicine is a field that combines science, technology, and art with the aim of preserving and enhancing beauty in harmony with inner well-being. It goes beyond simply addressing the signs of aging; it studies them, slows them down, and transforms them into a personalized treatment journey.
The factors that accelerate aging, such as free radicals, unhealthy lifestyles, and pollution, pose complex challenges. Addressing these challenges requires advanced preventive strategies and cutting-edge technologies that work deep beneath the surface, stimulating natural regenerative processes, and respecting the uniqueness of each individual.
“In my approach, it all begins with listening. It is about understanding your needs and guiding you through a journey to transform your outward image into a genuine reflection of your inner balance.”.
Caring for your body is not a purely aesthetic act, but a way of honoring your vital energy. The body changes over time and can be affected by pregnancy, hormonal fluctuations, weight variations, and lifestyle habits. Today, advanced, minimally invasive technologies allow you to safely, effectively, and naturally reshape your silhouette, helping to delay or even avoid surgical procedures.
RADIOFREQUENCY AND FRACTIONAL RADIOFREQUENCY MICRONEEDLE
Classic radiofrequency tightens tissues and improves skin tone and elasticity. The fractional version, using microneedles that reach varying depths, stimulates collagen and elastin production, significantly enhancing skin quality and sculpting body contours.
NEXT-GENERATION MEDICAL LASERS
These are no longer simple beams of light but smart systems using selectively tuned wavelengths with dynamic modulation. They precisely target fat deposits and connective tissue that contribute to skin laxity, while also activating photobiomodulation processes that stimulate fibroblasts and encourage new collagen formation. Non-ablative fractional lasers, based on the principle of fractional photothermolysis, create microzones of skin regeneration that trigger a global renewal response with minimal recovery time. This not only reshapes your silhouette but also enhances skin texture and elasticity.
NEXT-GENERATION INFRARED TECHNOLOGIES
These deliver controlled heat to the deeper layers of the skin, reactivating cellular metabolism and stimulating fibroblasts and collagen production, which help reduce fat and sculpt the body.
HIGH-INTENSITY FOCUSED ULTRASOUND (HIFU)
One of the most advanced technologies for non-surgical body treatments. HIFU delivers targeted ultrasound through precision-focused systems, selectively reaching different depths without damaging the superficial tissues. This creates precise thermo-mechanical fat reduction, breaking down fat cells and supporting their natural elimination, while the internal heat stimulates collagen fiber contraction and encourages the production of new elastic tissue. Some systems also incorporate modulated acoustic cavitation technology, enhancing drainage and detoxification while further sculpting the body.
CRYOLIPOLYSIS
This technology uses controlled cooling to crystallize and selectively eliminate fat cells, triggering a natural, gradual reduction process with no downtime.
CARBOXYTHERAPY (MEDICAL GRADE CO₂)
This treatment delivers medical-grade carbon dioxide to stimulate microcirculation, boost fat cell metabolism, and enhance tissue oxygenation, helping to reduce water retention and improve skin texture. It is also ideal for treating stretch marks and scarring.
When used with medical expertise and a sense of aesthetic harmony, these technologies do more than correct imperfections. They stimulate tissue regeneration, trigger deep biological responses, and enhance the body with a focus on balance, lasting results, and natural beauty. I often pair energy-based devices with targeted injectables to achieve better results, simultaneously improving skin quality, enhancing volume, and sculpting body contours. The combination of both methods respects the body’s natural harmony while maximizing treatment effectiveness and ensuring a truly personalized experience. “The body is the temple of the soul. Keeping it balanced, toned, and vibrant also nurtures our inner strength.”
FOR A MORE CONSCIOUS CHOICE
Over time, due to weight fluctuations, certain areas of the body may lose tone and elasticity. Thanks to regenerative treatments and cutting-edge technologies, it is now possible to target these aesthetic concerns effectively without surgery, achieving a natural and progressive body-contouring effect. Radiofrequency is the ideal treatment for the arms, legs, and abdomen when skin laxity is present. It stimulates the production of new collagen and reorganizes existing fibers, providing a noticeable skin-tightening effect. It also enhances microcirculation, promoting fat metabolism and lymphatic drainage, which helps reduce fluid retention and toxins. We recommend laser therapy for those who wish to redefine their silhouette and improve skin texture. This is not a weight-loss procedure but a toning treatment, in which high-intensity light penetrates deeply to stimulate collagen production and reduce localized fat deposits, resulting in a more balanced and refined body contour. Infrared light therapy, with its strong anti-inflammatory and anti-edematous effects, targets localized fat deposits with fluid retention. Ultrasound therapy is highly versatile, effectively addressing skin laxity in delicate areas such as the neck, arms, inner thighs, and abdomen, improving elasticity and firmness. We often combine ultrasound therapy with radiofrequency or intralipotherapy to achieve more comprehensive and long-lasting results. Finally, cryolipolysis may be the right option if you struggle with localized fat deposits in areas such as the abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, back, or knees.
Before considering aesthetic treatments for body contouring, you should think about what you truly want to achieve. That stubborn fat around your waist and hips, the persistent saddle bags, or a belly that refuses to respond to diet and exercise can make it feel like only a magic wand could sculpt your figure and restore a harmonious, toned body free from excess fat. An ideal silhouette is not just about reaching a certain number on the scale, but about having a balanced, proportionate shape that reflects your personal goals, helping you feel more at ease in your skin and improving your self-image, which positively impacts both your confidence and your relationships with others. Often, the fast-paced lifestyle we lead prevents us from devoting consistent time to caring for our bodies. As a result, you may find yourself looking in the mirror and not fully recognizing the person you see, which can have a profound impact on your mental well-being and overall outlook on life. Surgical body contouring is certainly an effective option, yet the idea of undergoing a procedure can feel daunting and is often perceived as too demanding. That is why taking care of your body can also begin with a softer, more gradual approach through non-invasive aesthetic treatments tailored to your specific needs. The decision to start taking care of yourself is deeply personal, and the ultimate goal should always be to enhance both your inner and outer well-being, maintaining a delicate and essential balance between the two.
As with all aesthetic medicine treatments that use devices, there is no specific age to begin. The decision primarily depends on how you perceive yourself and your desire to improve your physical appearance. If you notice skin laxity, localized fat deposits, or aesthetic concerns that affect your self-esteem, it may be the right time to consider a targeted therapy. In general, starting earlier allows for more natural and longer-lasting results, as the skin is still firm and responsive. However, even at a more mature age, personalized protocols that combine multiple technologies can deliver significant improvements, helping you restore balance and well-being. Seasonality is another important factor, as many protocols are more effective when performed in autumn, winter, or spring. This allows you to prepare your body for summer while minimizing the risks associated with sun exposure and high temperatures.
• Fractional radiofrequency and laser therapy → best avoided during summer, as treated skin may become irritated or develop pigmentation from sun exposure.
• Monopolar/bipolar radiofrequency, ultrasound, and cryolipolysis → can safely be performed in summer when following specific protocols.
Finally, some treatments may not be recommended for individuals with heart disease, epilepsy, liver disorders, or a pacemaker.
In general, these treatments offer minimal discomfort and a rapid recovery, although certain precautions and recommendations should be taken into account. You may experience temporary swelling, redness, tingling, or numbness in the treated area, which usually resolves within a few hours or days. We recommend avoiding sun exposure and high temperatures for several hours after treatment to protect the skin and ensure optimal results. Immediately after the procedure, the skin will appear firmer, smoother, more elastic, and more youthful, while collagen production is progressively stimulated over the following weeks and months. Depending on your individual characteristics, multiple sessions are often needed to see significant and satisfying improvements. These treatments cannot replace a healthy, slimming diet, but they can complement your efforts by helping to refine and enhance your silhouette. Dr. Elisa Bolletta typically prescribes maintenance therapies and precautions to help stabilize and prolong the effects of the treatment. These may include manual lymphatic drainage to support the natural elimination of fat via the lymphatic system, a balanced diet, adequate hydration, and an overall healthy lifestyle, all of which contribute to achieving the best possible outcome.
On the day of your treatment, you will be warmly welcomed to our center and given a personalized briefing on the protocol to follow. Dr. Elisa Bolletta will reassess the areas to be treated and answer any questions you may have. All necessary devices and instruments will be prepared, and any required skin protection applied. The procedure is carried out in a safe and controlled environment.
The duration varies depending on the type of treatment and the size of the area being treated, typically ranging from 30 to 90 minutes. The timing will be carefully determined to achieve optimal results safely.
Body treatments are typically well tolerated. Some procedures, such as ultrasound or fractional radiofrequency, may produce a mild warming sensation or tingling, but any discomfort is usually mild and temporary.
These treatments require minimal downtime, allowing you to return to your normal activities immediately after the session. Some people may notice slight redness or sensitivity in the treated areas, which usually fades within a few hours, especially when using targeted soothing products.
We recommend:
• Staying well hydrated
• Avoiding prolonged sun exposure for the first 24-48 hours.
• Following any specific instructions from the team, such as applying soothing creams or skincare products.
Body treatments are generally safe when performed by qualified medical professionals using certified equipment. The most common side effects are mild and temporary, including redness, swelling, or short-term sensitivity in the treated areas, which typically resolve on their own within a few hours or days. More serious complications, such as skin changes or adverse reactions, are extremely rare, but are thoroughly explained and proactively prevented through a comprehensive initial medical assessment and strict safety protocols.
Optimal results are achieved through personalized protocols and, in some cases, multiple sessions. Combining treatments with a healthy lifestyle enhances both your skin quality and your overall silhouette.
Follow-up appointments will be scheduled after your session to assess results and plan any additional treatments if needed. This ensures careful and detailed monitoring, helping to achieve long-lasting results.
The treatment is performed by Dr. Elisa Bolletta, supported by trained nursing staff, who assist throughout the procedure and handle the post-treatment care. The team at Elisà Plastic Surgery will support you throughout your entire pre and post-treatment journey.
