Body sculpting

Body sculpting targets those specific fat deposits that resist everything else, reshaping contours and tightening skin without surgery or downtime. Sessions are available seven days a week at our South Kensington salon in London, and new clients can start with a trial session to see results before committing to a course.

Dimpling visibly reduced, texture noticeably refined

Defined Contours

Shape refined where diet and exercise fall short

Firmer Feel

Skin tightens from the inside out, not just the surface

No Downtime

What is body sculpting?

Body sculpting is a non-invasive approach to reshaping specific areas of the body – not the whole body, but the parts that frustrate you most. It works on localised fat deposits and the connective tissue around them, using mechanical stimulation and advanced technology to break down fat cells and encourage the body to process and eliminate them naturally. The skin firms as a result, contours sharpen, and the overall silhouette looks more balanced.

Two distinct treatments sit under this umbrella at PIED-DE-POULE:

Choose Icoone Treatment if your concern is cellulite, puffiness, or uneven skin texture – or if you want to treat a specific smaller zone like the inner thighs, neck, or abdomen. This treatment works gently and precisely, which also makes it the right option if your skin is sensitive or you’re new to body sculpting. Results become noticeable from around the third session. Sessions run at 30, 45, 60, or 85 minutes.

Choose Stratosphere Therapy if your skin has lost firmness over a larger area – stomach, thighs, or upper arms – and tightening is as important to you as reducing volume. The heat goes deeper than surface-level treatments, which makes a visible difference when skin laxity is the primary issue. Sessions run 30 to 45 minutes.

Body sculpting is not a substitute for a healthy lifestyle – it is a precision tool for the stage where general effort has reached its ceiling. Candidates who get the most from it are already reasonably close to their target shape but have specific areas they want to refine. For clients whose concern is also muscular tension or postural discomfort, sport massage addresses the deeper structural layer that body contouring does not touch.

How the Procedure of Body Contouring Is Performed at PIED-DE-POULE

01
Consultation

The session begins with a short consultation to assess your goals, medical history, and determine a treatment protocol that is right for you and your concerns. This determines the technology used, the areas to be treated, and the duration of the session. New clients are advised to begin with a 30-minute trial session focused on a specific area.

02
Preparation

The skin in the treatment area is cleansed, and depending on the chosen method, a light gel is applied to ensure smooth, continuous contact between the device and the skin. You will be comfortably positioned on the treatment table.

03
Body shape massage treatment

The device is systematically moved over the target area in a precisely defined pattern. When using the Icoone, you will feel a gentle rolling motion and suction-most clients describe this as deep, pleasant pressure rather than discomfort. Stratosphere sessions include warming radiofrequency along with mechanical action. The therapist adjusts the intensity in real time based on your preferences.

04
Post-Procedure

Redness or a slight warmth in the treated area is normal and typically subsides within an hour. Drinking water after the session promotes lymphatic drainage of destroyed fat cells. There is no downtime-you can return to your normal activities immediately.

05
Course Planning

One session of body contouring produces noticeable results, but a course ensures lasting changes. Results are usually visible after the third to fifth session; a full course of eight to ten sessions is standard for lasting shape changes. The therapist will create a recommended schedule based on your consultation.

06
Progress Assessment

After the initial course, a progress assessment allows the therapist to evaluate the results and adjust the program. Some clients switch to a maintenance schedule-one session every four to six weeks-to maintain results long-term.

How Body Sculpting Works

  • Fat Cell Breakdown

    Mechanical stimulation disrupts the integrity of localised fat cells, which the lymphatic system then removes – producing lasting volume reduction in the treated area.

  • Lymphatic Activation

    Vacuum pressure and roller movement accelerate lymph flow through the tissue, reducing retained fluid and visible puffiness within and between sessions.

  • Collagen Stimulation

    Laser and LED energy penetrate below the skin surface, triggering fibroblast activity so the body produces new collagen – making skin firmer and more elastic over time.

  • Improved Circulation

    Repeated microstimulation increases blood flow to sluggish tissue, delivering oxygen and nutrients that improve skin tone and speed the body's natural repair processes.

  • Cellulite Smoothing

    Fibrous septae – the connective bands responsible for dimpling – are loosened by vacuum and mechanical action, releasing the tethered skin and smoothing the surface.

  • Skin Tightening

    Radiofrequency heat contracts existing collagen fibres immediately while simultaneously stimulating new production, creating both an instant lifting effect and progressive long-term firmness.

FAQ

  • What is body sculpting, and how does it differ from traditional weight loss?

    Body sculpting is a non-invasive procedure that targets stubborn fat pockets, reshaping the body and improving skin firmness. Unlike traditional weight loss, which reduces overall body size, body sculpting focuses on specific areas to eliminate fat cells and enhance natural contours.

  • Is body sculpting the same as losing weight?

    No. It reduces localised fat in specific areas and improves skin firmness, but it does not reduce overall body weight the way a calorie deficit does. It is best understood as a reshaping tool, not a weight loss method.

  • Does body sculpting hurt?

    Icoone feels like firm rolling suction – most clients find it comfortable, some describe it as relaxing. Stratosphere adds a warming sensation from the radiofrequency. Neither treatment is painful; the intensity can be adjusted throughout the session.

  • How many sessions will I need?

    A realistic course is between eight and ten sessions for lasting results. Changes can be visible from session three to five depending on the method. The therapist will give you a personal recommendation after your first consultation.

  • How do non-surgical body contouring treatments work?

    These treatments gradually destroy fat cells in targeted areas using advanced technologies. The body then naturally processes and removes these dead fat cells, resulting in long-lasting fat reduction and improved skin tone.

  • Can I have body sculpting if I have a health condition?

    Certain conditions are contraindicated, including active skin inflammations, cancer, some vascular conditions, and pregnancy. Clients with diabetes or autoimmune conditions are assessed individually. The consultation at the start of your first session covers this directly.

  • How long do results last?

    Fat cells that are broken down and removed by the body do not return to that area. Skin firmness and contour improvements are long-lasting with a completed course. A maintenance session every four to six weeks preserves the result.
