You’ve been working out. You’re eating better. But those stubborn areas just won’t budge.
Sound familiar?
Here’s the thing: exercise and diet work great for overall weight loss, but they can’t target specific problem areas. That’s where body contouring comes in.
At Manhattan Laser Spa in Dania Beach, we help people just like you get rid of stubborn fat without surgery, needles, or taking time off work. Our body contouring treatments use FDA-cleared technology to reduce fat cells in areas that resist diet and exercise.
And honestly? The results speak for themselves.
Body contouring (sometimes called body sculpting) refers to non-invasive treatments that reduce fat cells and improve your body’s shape. Unlike liposuction, there’s no surgery involved. No anesthesia. No recovery time.
The treatments target specific areas like your abdomen, love handles, thighs, arms, or that stubborn double chin. They work by breaking down fat cells, which your body then naturally eliminates over the following weeks.
Most people see noticeable results within 8 to 12 weeks. And the fat cells that are destroyed? They don’t come back.
This might surprise you, but body contouring isn’t just for people looking to lose tons of weight. It’s actually designed for people who are already close to their goal weight but have specific problem areas.
Here’s who typically comes to our Dania Beach location:
Moms recovering from pregnancy who want their pre-baby body back without surgery. The non-surgical mommy makeover approach helps tighten areas that pregnancy stretched out.
Busy professionals working near the airport or Dania Pointe who can’t afford weeks of downtime. They come in during lunch breaks.
People who’ve lost significant weight and want to address remaining stubborn pockets of fat.
Men struggling with love handles or chest fat that won’t respond to the gym.
Anyone tired of feeling self-conscious about certain body areas, especially with Fort Lauderdale Beach and John U. Lloyd Beach State Park so close by.
Different areas respond differently to body contouring. Here’s what we commonly treat at our Dania Beach spa:
Your midsection is usually the first place fat shows up and the last place it leaves. We can target both your upper and lower abdomen, plus those love handles that peek over your jeans.
Inner thighs, outer thighs, and that area right under your buttocks (called the banana roll). These areas are incredibly stubborn, even for people who run regularly.
Upper arm fat, especially the area where bra straps sit. This is a huge concern for people who avoid sleeveless tops.
The submental area under your chin responds really well to body contouring. This treatment has become incredibly popular in the past few years.
That roll of fat above or below your bra line. It’s more common than you think, and it’s totally treatable.
Pseudogynecomastia (excess chest fat in men) can be reduced without surgery. This treatment has changed lives for guys who’ve been self-conscious about this area.
We use several different FDA-cleared technologies, depending on what works best for your specific situation. Let me break down the main approaches:
This method literally freezes fat cells. The cold temperature destroys the fat cells without damaging surrounding tissue. Over the next few weeks, your body naturally processes and eliminates these dead cells.
A typical session takes 35 to 60 minutes per area. You might feel intense cold at first, then numbness. Most people read, work on their phone, or just relax during treatment.
Radiofrequency energy heats the deeper layers of your skin, breaking down fat cells while also tightening your skin. This approach works great if you’re dealing with both stubborn fat and loose skin.
Low-level laser therapy targets fat cells through your skin. The laser energy causes fat cells to release their contents, which your lymphatic system then removes naturally.
This newer approach doesn’t just reduce fat. It also builds muscle in the treated area. Think of it as doing thousands of crunches or squats in a single session, while simultaneously reducing fat.

Most people are nervous before their first appointment. That’s completely normal. Here’s exactly what happens when you visit our Dania Beach location:
You’ll meet with one of our trained specialists to discuss your goals. We’ll look at the areas you want to treat, take measurements, and might even do some progress photos (completely private, just for your records).
We’ll be honest about what’s realistic. If body contouring isn’t right for you, we’ll tell you. There’s never any pressure to book treatments.
You’ll lie down comfortably while we apply the treatment device to your target area. Depending on which technology we’re using, you might feel cold, warmth, tingling, or a pulling sensation. It’s not painful, but it’s not exactly relaxing either. Most people describe it as weird rather than uncomfortable.
Sessions typically last 30 to 60 minutes per area. You can treat multiple areas in one visit if needed.
There’s no downtime. You can literally drive straight to work, hit the gym, or grab lunch at Dania Pointe afterward. Some people experience temporary redness, numbness, or mild soreness in the treated area, but it goes away quickly.
Don’t expect overnight miracles. Your body needs time to naturally process and eliminate the destroyed fat cells. Most people start seeing changes around week 3 or 4, with full results visible by week 8 to 12.
Some areas might need multiple sessions for optimal results. We’ll discuss this during your consultation.

I know you’ve got options. There are medical spas in Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, and all over Broward County. So why come to us?
We’re not some corporate chain. We’re right here in Dania Beach, close to Federal Highway and easily accessible from Dania Beach Boulevard. If you work near the airport or live in the Ravenswood Estates area, we’re incredibly convenient.
Every treatment is performed or overseen by licensed medical professionals. This isn’t a wellness spa where anyone can perform treatments. We follow strict Florida medical spa regulations and have a board-certified physician overseeing all procedures.
We don’t mess around with sketchy equipment. All our body contouring devices are FDA-cleared and maintained according to manufacturer specifications. Safety matters.
We’ll tell you exactly what treatments cost during your free consultation. No hidden fees. No surprise charges.
We take before and after photos (with permission) because the results speak for themselves. We’re not going to promise you’ll lose 50 pounds or look like a fitness model. But we can help you reduce stubborn fat in specific areas.
Here’s something most places won’t tell you: body contouring isn’t magic. It works best for people who are already pretty close to their goal weight but have specific problem areas. If you need to lose significant weight, we’ll be honest about that during your consultation.
People ask this constantly. Here’s the honest comparison:
Liposuction is surgery. You go under anesthesia. A surgeon makes incisions and physically removes fat using a vacuum-like device. You’ll need someone to drive you home, and you’ll be sore for weeks. But the results are immediate and more dramatic.
Body contouring is non-invasive. No surgery. No anesthesia. No incisions. You walk in and walk out. Results take weeks to show up and are more subtle, but there’s literally zero downtime.
Which one’s better? It depends on your situation, goals, and how much downtime you can handle. For most people in Dania Beach who work full-time and can’t take weeks off, body contouring makes way more sense.
This part’s tricky. The fat cells we destroy are gone for good. They don’t regenerate. But here’s the catch: you can still gain weight in other fat cells if you’re not careful.
Think of body contouring as a head start, not a free pass. You’ll still need to maintain a relatively stable weight through normal diet and exercise. If you gain 20 pounds after treatment, you’ll notice it.
Most people find that seeing their improved body shape actually motivates them to keep up healthy habits. There’s something about finally getting rid of that stubborn area that makes you want to protect your investment.
Prices vary based on which areas you’re treating, how many sessions you need, and which technology works best for your situation. Most people spend anywhere from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars total.
We offer free consultations where we’ll give you exact pricing for your specific situation. Some clients treat one area. Others do multiple areas over several months.
And honestly? When you compare the cost to surgical liposuction (which can run $5,000 to $15,000 or more), plus time off work and recovery complications, body contouring becomes really attractive for a lot of people.
“Does it hurt?” Not really. You’ll feel sensations during treatment – cold, warmth, tingling, or pulling – but it’s not painful. Most people read, scroll their phones, or even nap during sessions.
“Is it safe?” Yes. We use FDA-cleared devices, and treatments are performed by trained professionals under medical oversight. Side effects are minimal and temporary.
“How long do results last?” The destroyed fat cells are gone permanently. But you need to maintain a stable weight. If you gain significant weight, remaining fat cells can expand.
“Can I treat multiple areas?” Absolutely. Many people treat several areas over time. We’ll help you prioritize based on your goals and budget.
“Will my skin be saggy after?” Some treatments actually tighten skin while reducing fat. If you have significant loose skin, we’ll discuss whether body contouring alone is enough or if you might need additional treatments.
Body contouring isn’t right for everyone. You’re probably not a good candidate if:
We’ll be straight with you during your consultation about whether body contouring makes sense for your situation.
Ready to do something about those stubborn areas? Here’s what to do next:
Step 1: Call us or book online for a free consultation. Seriously, it’s free. No obligation.
Step 2: Come visit our Dania Beach location. We’ll assess your areas of concern, discuss your goals, and show you exactly what’s possible.
Step 3: If body contouring makes sense for you, we’ll create a customized treatment plan and schedule your first session.
Step 4: Show up for treatment, relax for 30-60 minutes, then get on with your day.
Step 5: Watch your body change over the following weeks as your body naturally eliminates destroyed fat cells.
Living in South Florida means beach weather year-round. Between Dania Beach Pier, John U. Lloyd Beach State Park, and being so close to Fort Lauderdale Beach, there’s no “off-season” for swimsuits.
Add in the fact that most of us work long hours and can’t take weeks off for surgery recovery, and body contouring starts making a lot of sense.
It’s not about being perfect. It’s about feeling confident in your own skin. About finally addressing that one area that’s bugged you for years. About wearing what you want without worrying about how things look.
It depends on your starting point and goals. Some people see great results after just one session. Others need 2-4 treatments on the same area for optimal results. During your free consultation, we’ll assess your specific situation and give you a realistic treatment plan. Most areas need at least 6-8 weeks between sessions to allow your body to process the destroyed fat cells.
Body contouring works best when you’re already close to your goal weight. If you’re actively trying to lose a significant amount of weight, we usually recommend waiting until you’re closer to your target. Think of body contouring as the finishing touch, not the main weight loss tool. That said, during your consultation, we’ll discuss your specific situation and help you decide on the best timing.
Great question. Different technologies work better for different situations. Cryolipolysis (fat freezing) is excellent for stubborn fat pockets. Radiofrequency treatments are great if you want both fat reduction and skin tightening. High-intensity electromagnetic technology helps build muscle while reducing fat. During your consultation, we’ll recommend the best approach based on your treatment area, body type, and goals. Sometimes we even combine technologies for better results.
This depends on your skin’s elasticity and how much fat we’re removing. Body contouring typically removes less fat than liposuction, so loose skin is less of an issue. Plus, some of our technologies actually stimulate collagen production, which helps tighten skin. If you’re concerned about this, mention it during your consultation. We can assess your skin quality and recommend the best treatment approach.
No, body contouring is considered a cosmetic procedure, so insurance won’t cover it. However, compared to surgical options like liposuction, body contouring is usually much more affordable. During your free consultation, we’ll provide exact pricing for your specific treatment plan. Many clients find the cost reasonable, especially when you factor in no surgery, no time off work, and minimal risk.
You can usually exercise the same day or the next day. There’s no mandatory downtime. That said, your treated area might feel a bit sore or tender, similar to how you feel after a tough workout. Listen to your body. If something feels off, take it easy for a day or two. Most people return to their normal gym routine immediately without any issues.
The fat cells we destroy are gone permanently. They won’t come back. But if you gain significant weight, the remaining fat cells in your body can expand. You might gain weight in the treated area, but usually less than you would have before treatment. The best approach? Maintain a stable weight through normal healthy habits. Most clients find that seeing their improved shape actually motivates them to keep up with diet and exercise better than before.
