Hearth and his expert team at Granite Bay Dermatology & Laser Center can help you determine the appropriate body contouring treatment option to help restore your physique with natural-looking results.

What Is Body Contouring?
At Granite Bay Dermatology & Laser Center, we offer non-invasive and minimally invasive body contouring procedures that aim to reduce pockets of stubborn fat and tighten skin for a leaner physique and a more toned overall silhouette. During body contouring procedures, we administer controlled radiofrequency (RF), heat, or cool energies to targeted areas with excess fat or loose skin. The body processes the targeted fat through the body’s natural waste elimination processes.
Some common areas we can perform body contouring procedures include:
- Under the chin
- Upper arms
- Abdomen
- Waist and flanks
- Bra bulges
- Back
- Buttocks
- Thighs
- Hips
- Knees
- Male breasts (gynecomastia)
Body contouring procedures are not intended to help you lose weight, rather they aim to sculpt and improve the definition of your body’s contours. Many procedures require a series of sessions to achieve optimal enhancement, and each patient will experience unique results.
Body Contouring Options in Roseville, CA
At Granite Bay Dermatology & Laser Center, we currently offer the following body contouring treatments.
BodyTite®
BodyTite® is a body contouring treatment that uses radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis that liquefies fat for easier removal while tightening skin in the targeted areas. During a BodyTite® treatment, our experts apply energy beneath and above your skin for optimal results.
BodyTite® is minimally invasive, requiring only small incisions to insert the device beneath the skin. One probe of the device treats from under the skin, and the other glides along the skin’s surface. Each appointment lasts approximately 30 to 45 minutes per area.
Following a BodyTite® procedure, you may experience soreness and mild bruising at the treatment site that should resolve in a few days. Most patients will begin seeing results within two to three weeks and will experience gradual, continued improvements for three to six months afterward.
CoolSculpting®
CoolSculpting® uses controlled cooling energy to induce cryolipolysis—a technique that freezes fat cells. These treated fat cells degrade, and the body flushes them out through natural waste elimination processes. During the procedure, patients will initially feel a cold sensation and some suction; treatment areas become numb after only five to 10 minutes.
Non-invasive CoolSculpting® involves placing a specialized device on the targeted region. Treatments last 50 minutes per area. With no downtime following a CoolSculpting® treatment, patients may resume most normal activities immediately.
Patients should start noticing CoolSculpting® results within a few weeks of their treatment, which will continue gradually improving over the next six months.
EmSculpt®
EmSculpt® is an innovative non-invasive body contouring device that helps tone existing muscles and encourages the body to grow new muscle fibers. The EmSculpt® device not only helps build muscles but also works to eliminate pockets of stubborn fat.
The EmSculpt® device produces a series of supramaximal muscle contractions through high-intensity focused electromagnetic technology. These muscular contractions are more powerful than what is achievable during regular exercise; they also do not allow muscles to relax. During the procedure, the contractions break down fat and strengthen muscles, creating abdominal definition, firmer buttocks, and shapelier legs and arms.
With each 30-minute EmSculpt® session, patients can recline and relax, and then resume their usual schedule afterward. Many people experience soreness; however, it is no more uncomfortable than discomfort a day or two after an intense workout.
Most patients achieve optimal results from a series of four to six EmSculpt® sessions scheduled every two to three days. Initial improvements are typically visible approximately in four weeks after the first EmSculpt® session. Improvements continue for the next three to six months, creating a more sculpted appearance.
Morpheus8 Body®
The minimally invasive Morpheus8 Body® device combines radiofrequency (RF) technology and microneedling to reach your skin’s deeper layers. By using RF energy, the device works to tighten skin, liquefy fat, reduce the appearance of cellulite, and stimulate new collagen production to improve the skin’s appearance.
During a Morpheus8 Body® treatment, our experts will guide the device over the targeted area, and tiny needles will create small punctures to deliver RF energy into the skin’s deeper layers to stimulate collagen production. Depending on the treatment areas, most procedures take 30 to 60 minutes.
There is no downtime after Morpheus8®; however, most patients experience slightly swollen or pink skin for a few days. During this recovery time, it is important to avoid strenuous activities and limit sun exposure.
While some Morpheus8® results are visible immediately after the procedure, full results may take approximately three to four weeks to reveal healthier, firmer, and more even skin. Most patients experience the best results following a series of appointments.
Thermage®
Non-invasive Thermage® is a skin tightening procedure that uses radiofrequency (RF) technology to heat the deep layers of the skin while keeping the superficial, surface layers cool. During a Thermage® procedure, the device also delivers RF energy that helps stimulate collagen production.
Thermage® helps to reshape body contours by tightening loose skin and reducing the appearance of cellulite in as little as one treatment. Many patients see initial tightening on the same day. Depending on the size of the target area, each non-invasive Thermage® session can take 30 minutes to two hours.
Following a Thermage® treatment, the skin’s appearance will continue to improve gradually with full results in two to six months. Due to increased collagen production, Thermage® helps enhance the overall figure with results that may last up to two years.
