There isn't one “best” body contouring treatment.
The best option depends on your primary goal. Some treatments focus on fat reduction, while others are designed for muscle toning, skin tightening, circulation, or overall contouring. The right treatment plan may also combine multiple technologies.
What Is Body Contouring?
Body contouring refers to treatments designed to improve the appearance and shape of targeted areas of the body. Unlike traditional weight loss, body contouring focuses on specific areas and concerns that may remain even after healthy lifestyle changes.
At The One Beauty Bar, body contouring options are non-surgical and are designed around different goals, including reducing the appearance of stubborn fat, improving muscle definition, tightening skin, and enhancing body contours.

Glypto
Glypto is a multi-technology body sculpting system that combines cryolipolysis, EMS, ultrasound cavitation, radiofrequency skin tightening, and lipo laser technology.
Because it combines multiple technologies, Glypto can be customized around concerns such as stubborn fat, muscle tone, and skin firmness.
EMSculpt
EMSculpt uses electromagnetic energy to create powerful muscle contractions. The treatment is designed to support muscle strengthening and definition while also addressing body contouring goals.
It can be especially appealing for clients who want more visible muscle tone in areas such as the abdomen or glutes.
CoolSculpting / Cryo-Lipo
Cryo-Lipo uses controlled cooling technology to target and freeze fat cells in selected areas.
The body then naturally processes the treated fat cells over time. Common treatment areas include the abdomen, flanks, thighs, and arms.
VellaShape
VellaShape is a body contouring treatment designed to improve the appearance of targeted areas and support smoother-looking, more defined contours.
It may be considered as part of a broader body contouring plan depending on your goals and treatment area.
Zerona
Zerona is a non-invasive laser treatment designed to support targeted fat reduction and body contouring without surgery.
It can be an option for clients looking for a gentle, non-invasive approach to targeted body shaping.
V Sculpt
V Sculpt uses vacuum therapy technology to enhance curves, stimulate circulation, and support a lifted appearance.
It is particularly popular for clients interested in glute-focused contouring and enhancing the appearance of their natural curves.
HIFU Body & Skin Tightening
HIFU uses focused ultrasound energy and is designed to support collagen production and skin tightening.
For clients whose primary concern is mild skin laxity, HIFU may be considered as part of a non-surgical skin-tightening plan.
Red Light Therapy
Red Light Therapy uses specific wavelengths of light and can complement other wellness and body contouring services.
At The One Beauty Bar, Red Light Therapy is also used as part of wellness and recovery-focused experiences.
Which Treatment May Be Right for You?
Think about the result you're actually trying to achieve. Here's a simple way to narrow down your options:
| Your Goal | Treatments to Explore |
|---|---|
| Stubborn fat | Glypto · Cryo-Lipo · Zerona |
| Muscle tone | EMSculpt · Glypto |
| Skin tightening | HIFU · Glypto |
| Curves / glute contouring | V Sculpt · EMSculpt |
| Multiple concerns | Glypto · Customized combination plan |
| Wellness & recovery support | Red Light Therapy |
You don't have to figure out your treatment by yourself. The goal is to match the technology to your body and your desired outcome.
Can You Combine Body Contouring Treatments?
In some cases, combining different technologies can help address multiple concerns at the same time.
For example, someone may want to target stubborn fat while also improving muscle tone or skin firmness. A customized plan may use different treatments at different points rather than relying on one technology for every concern.
The appropriate combination depends on your individual goals, treatment area, health history, and provider recommendation.
Body Contouring After Weight Loss
Losing weight can create an exciting transformation, but some people are left with areas of stubborn fat, changes in muscle definition, or mild skin laxity.
Body contouring can be one option to explore after weight loss when the goal is to refine specific areas rather than lose additional weight.
Depending on the concern, treatments may focus on fat reduction, muscle tone, skin tightening, or a combination of goals.
Who Is a Candidate for Non-Surgical Body Contouring?
Body contouring may be appropriate for adults who are looking for non-surgical options to improve the appearance of specific areas of their body.
You may be interested in body contouring if you:
- Have localized areas of stubborn fat.
- Want to improve muscle definition.
- Are concerned about mild skin laxity.
- Want to enhance your natural body contours.
- Prefer a non-surgical approach with minimal downtime.
A consultation is important because not every treatment is appropriate for every person or every concern.
