Body Sculpting can be just what you need to lose those last pesky kilos that just don’t seem to move, no matter how well you eat or how much you exercise. But how much weight can this process actually help you lose?
The answer is much more than just a simple number on the scale–how much you lose will depend on many different factors, such as the type of treatment you are getting, how much weight you have to lose, and more!
This blog will detail what kinds of body sculpting treatments can help you lose weight at Bimini Body Clinic and how they can work to help you achieve the body you have worked so hard for.
Let’s find the right body sculpting treatment (or package) for your needs!
When we talk about body sculpting, we are referring to a range of non-invasive treatments that can be used to alter and define your body’s silhouette. By damaging and destroying fat cells, body sculpting treatments encourage your body to remove and dispose of excess weight in a sustainable way that doesn’t leave you with saggy skin and the other side effects of fast and invasive fat removal surgeries like liposuction.
Body sculpting procedures are usually fast, pain-free and allow you to resume normal daily activities straight away. They’re a great choice for time-conscious, healthy individuals who need a little extra help in their body contouring journey!
At Bimini Body, we offer a few different types of treatments that can help you lose weight from targeted areas.
High frequency ultrasound (HIFU) is used by Lipocel machines to target the subcutaneous fat that sits just underneath the skin. This fat is some of the hardest to remove through exercise and diet alone, which is why Lipocel can be so useful for finally achieving the silhouette you have been working towards.
By penetrating your skin and targeting the fat, the HIFU waves can destroy the fat cells in your desired area using heat. Your muscles, tendons, and skin will remain untouched during the treatment. Once they have been destroyed, the deaf fat cells will be removed and recycled by your body’s lymphatic system over the next few weeks.
The Lipocal machine can be used to target fat deposits on your thighs, hips, arms, back and stomach. At Bimini Body, we will offer you a complimentary infrared sauna session to help stimulate waste removal and boost your metabolism, which can lead to some further weight loss. You will also take home some Celtic salts, which can help detoxify your body and aid in electrolyte balance and mineral replenishment. Combining the sauna sessions and salts can improve your Lipocel results and help you recover faster.
So, how much weight can Lipocel (HIFU) help you lose? Rather than thinking in kilograms, it’s better to check your results by using measuring tape and taking before and after photos. You can expect a percentage reduction in targeted fat cells–a between 5 to 15% loss will be apparent immediately after your treatment, but when your body has finished removing all the dead fat cells, those numbers can sit between 20 and 40%!
The science behind CoolSlimming and CoolSculpting technology lies in cryolipolysis. Unlike the Lipocel treatment we mentioned above, CoolSlimming and Coolsculpting (both used here to mean the same type of treatment) use cold instead of heat to destroy fat cells. Because skin and muscle cells can tolerate colder temperatures, cryolipolysis fat freezing can safely target fat cells using temperatures between 0 and 11 ℃.
Once the fat cells have been crystallised, your lymphatic system will get rid of them over the next 1-3 months. And like with our Lipocel treatment, once these fat cells have been destroyed and removed, they are gone for good!
Cryolipolysis fat freezing can be used for more focused areas of the body, like under the chin, your flanks and your abdomen. You can also choose to have multiple applicators used at once instead of just one for a more comprehensive treatment.
Like with HIFU-based treatments, the amount of fat you lose is less obvious on the scale and is more visible when using before and after photos or measurements. You may only lose a few kilos using CoolSlimming, but the change in your body’s shape can be very obvious!

Our final treatment won’t actually help you lose weight–however, it can help you define your muscles and create the body silhouette you are after. StimSure EMS (electrical muscle stimulation) technology will use painless electrical impulses to make your muscles expand and contract, just like they do when you exercise. And just like when you exercise, the micro tears caused by this action will cause your muscles to repair, grow and become more defined.
Because the muscles are being moved by these electrical currents and not through your own energy, you won’t be ‘burning fat’ and losing weight. However, you will notice definition and toning in your body that you wouldn’t have achieved otherwise.
When combined with a healthy diet and exercise, StimSure can be a great way to maximise the results of your training and achieve a sculpted look in just 30 minutes per treatment area!
If you’ve just had a child, you’ve probably got some fat and loose skin hanging around that isn’t easy to get rid of. During pregnancy, your body will naturally gain weight to give you the store you need to keep your baby safe and then feed it after birth, but if you are struggling with baby weight removal, then Bimini Body can help.
If you are searching for post pregnancy fat removal in Melbourne, our ‘Baby Bouncy Back’ treatment is for you. We recommend you start this treatment after waiting at least twelve weeks after giving birth.

At Bimini Body Clinic, we know that many of us have gained weight over the Covid years that has become very hard to get rid of. For men, the combination of a lack of access to sports and working from home has led many to develop the fabled ‘dad bod’, which isn’t something every guy will want to retain.
Our DFD Treatment Plan (Don’t Forget Dad) has been designed to target fat in areas men can easily accumulate, including the abdomen and the sides of the hips, as well as a loss of muscle mass and tone. By combining our Lipocel treatment to target fat, our Radio Frequency technology to boost skin elasticity and our StimSure services to gain muscle, guys can get back the bodies they lost over lockdown.
While you won’t be able to dictate how many kilos you lose through Body Sculpting, rest assured you will have visible and measurable results after any one of our incredible treatments, including cryolipolysis fat freezing, high intensity focused ultrasound or electrical muscle stimulation.
