Are you struggling with "stubborn spots" that diet and exercise just won't touch? Or perhaps you've reached your weight goal but are now dealing with loose skin or a loss of muscle definition?
In the Twin Cities, InMode Body Contouring has become the premier solution for those who want dramatic results without the downtime, scars, or risks of traditional surgery. At Medical Specialists, we utilize the most advanced 2025-2026 InMode platforms to help you "shrink, tighten, and tone" all in one session.
What is InMode Body Contouring?
Imagine your skin is like a piece of dough. If the dough is too loose, we use a special "warm roller" to shrink it. If there is a lumpy spot, we use a "tiny vacuum" to smooth it out. And if we want the dough to be stronger, we give it a "mini-workout" while you lie down!
InMode utilizes Radiofrequency (RF) energy and Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) to target three different layers of the body:
The Dermis (Skin): RF energy heats the skin to roughly 42°C–43°C, which triggers neocollagenesis—the production of new collagen and elastin fibers.
The Subcutaneous Fat: Higher temperatures (lipolysis) target fat cells, causing them to break down so your lymphatic system can naturally flush them away.
The Muscle: EMS technology induces thousands of "supramaximal" muscle contractions, building tone and strength far more intensely than a gym workout could.

Q&A: What is the InMode Treatment Really Like?
Q: Does it hurt?
A: Most patients describe the sensation as a "hot stone massage." You will feel a deep warming sensation (the RF energy) and, if we are doing muscle toning, a rhythmic tugging or contraction. It is comfortable enough that most patients read or scroll on their phones during the 30–60 minute session.
Q: How many sessions do I need?
A: While some patients see a "glow" or slight tightening after one visit, the clinical standard for 2026 is a series of 3 to 6 weekly sessions. This allows the collagen-building process to fully mature.
Q: Is there any downtime?
A: None. You might have some slight redness or warmth in the area (like a mild sunburn) for a few hours, but you can head straight back to work or out to dinner in the Twin Cities immediately after.
Combining Contouring with Your Weight Loss Journey
At our Edina clinic, we don't look at body contouring in a vacuum. We see it as the "finishing touch" to your metabolic health.
With Semaglutide/Tirzepatide: As you lose weight on our Semaglutide or Tirzepatide programs, your skin may struggle to keep up. Starting InMode treatments during your weight loss helps "shrink-wrap" the skin to your new frame.
With Sermorelin: We use Sermorelin to help you keep muscle while losing fat. Adding Evolve Tone to this regimen can dramatically accelerate that "sculpted" look.
With Glutathione: Proper lymphatic drainage is key to flushing away the fat cells destroyed during an InMode session. Glutathione supports your liver and lymphatic system in this "cleanup" process.
Twin Cities Patient FAQ
Q: Who is the ideal candidate?
A: The best candidates are near their goal weight but have "pockets" of fat or areas of skin laxity. It is particularly popular for "The Mommy Makeover" (abdomen), "The Wedding Prep" (arms), and "The Executive Refresh" (jawline/neck).
Q: Will the results last?
A: Fat cells destroyed by RF energy are gone for good. However, to maintain the skin tightening and muscle tone, we recommend a healthy lifestyle and a "maintenance" session once or twice a year.
