5 Nonsurgical Thigh Lift Options for Chicagoans

Getting a thigh lift in Chicago is a serious decision that you'd have to think twice over, as it naturally has some degree of risk. 

If you're more interested in learning about less-risky procedures, read on to learn about different nonsurgical alternatives!

Elos Technology

Electrical-optical energy is applied during these procedures to tighten the skin on the thighs. It involves combining radiofrequency energy, infrared energy, a suctioning device, and massaging to promote the growth of collagen and improve skin tone.

The radiofrequency and infrared energies are used to heat the area beneath the skin surface for collagen growth. The massages enhance the blood flow to help break down the fat.

Laser Skin Procedures

Laser skin tightening procedures also involve increasing collagen production on the skin's surface. It results in tightening the skin on the thigh area. 

The results of these procedures are subtle and gradual, requiring various treatments to notice effects.

Anti-cellulite Treatments

Cellulite is a common concern for many patients due to the rippled and dimpled skin it produces. Many see it as an unsightly appearance and want to get rid of it immediately. 

There are various anti-cellulite injections on the market designed to dissolve fat cells. The more common approach is mesotherapy. Injections target the middle layer of the skin; the mesoderm breaks apart the fat pockets by weakening the connective tissues involved in forming cellulite.

The injections cause the fat to liquefy and are then eliminated by the body through natural processes.

Control Garments

These are garments that improve the contours of the body and serve as a more natural alternative to a thigh lift. The garments gradually slim the body and eliminate the undesired bulges in your silhouette.

Nevertheless, the effects are not permanent and provide no actual change to your anatomy. 

Creams and Lotions

Experimenting with creams and lotions is plausible if you're a patient with skin drooping around your thighs.

They're great for patients concerned about their thighs' texture. These creams and lotions are usually affordable.

It's important to understand that they only produce mild effects and have realistic expectations before applying a cream.

Thigh AirSculpt® by Elite Body Sculpture

Thigh AirSculpt® is a state-of-the-art procedure combining fat removal with skin tightening, offering you the most optimal cosmetic process.

Our procedure does not use a scalpel, needle, stitches, or general anesthesia. That's because the AirSculpt® technology that is used has changed the way fat removal is performed.

Some endearingly know these treatments as 'lunch-time procedures' because you can change your body in less than an hour and continue the day afterward. Nevertheless, it's generally recommended that you rest for 48 hours before pursuing strenuous activities.

Elite Body Sculpture offers a minimally invasive process that delivers quick and permanent changes for Chicago residents not interested in a fully invasive thigh lift. While the procedure is more taxing than a nonsurgical thigh lift, patients never have to return for several sessions and the results are incomparably more dramatic.

That said, if you want to look your best, you must work with the best. Call or head to our Chicago office for your first consultation.
