Body-sculpting treatments: Are you wasting your money?

Today, many non-invasive body-contouring treatments claim to remove unwanted fat and give you the desired shape without going under the knife - but there is a catch.

A body-contouring treatment is not designed to encourage significant weight loss. While it may help with isolated fat pockets, it is not recommended for obese patients or those who want to lose more than a few kilograms. And although they're relatively safe, these treatments, as with all cosmetic procedures, still have side effects and can set you back thousands.
