You eat right. You’re out on Green Mountain most weekends. Skiing, trail running, putting in the miles — you do the work. But there’s always that one spot. The lower belly. Love handles that just laugh at your effort. Maybe the back of your arms. And honestly? It’s not because you’re slacking. It’s biology being stubborn.
That’s the whole reason body contouring exists. Body contouring — also called body sculpting — is a medical procedure that aims to reshape an area of the body, targeting excess fat, loose skin, and contour irregularities in ways that diet and exercise alone can’t address. It’s not a weight loss thing — let’s get that straight right now. It’s a way to go after specific fat deposits and build muscle tone in areas where your workouts have basically hit a dead end. And you don’t need to drive to some fancy Cherry Creek med spa to get it done well.
Here at Back Country Chiropractic, we pair two non-surgical technologies — the EMSculpt NEO Elite and the Green Sapphire 10D Cold Laser — in one session. Most Denver-area providers use one or the other. We use both. Together.
Dr. Garry Warner has been part of the Lakewood community since 1989. That’s over 35 years. He skis, plays hockey, competes in pickleball, runs trails. He’s dealt with his own sports injuries and knows what recovery looks like from the inside. So when we say he understands active Colorado adults — it’s because he is one.
People mix these up all the time, so let’s untangle it. Weight loss is a whole-body thing — you’re cutting calories, exercising more, maybe working with a doctor. Body slimming? Totally different. It zeros in on specific fat pockets that just won’t respond to the general stuff.
Why does that matter? Because it answers the question we hear constantly: “Is body contouring effective for stubborn fat?” Short answer — yes. But context is everything. Need to lose 50 pounds? This isn’t your starting point. Already pretty close to your goal weight but have these annoying pockets of fat that mock your gym routine? Now we’re talking. That’s the sweet spot.
So here’s how our cold laser slimming works. The Green Sapphire 10D Cold Laser weakens fat cell membranes so they release what’s stored inside. Think of it like unlocking a door — your body’s lymphatic system does the rest, flushing everything out naturally. No pain. No downtime. About 30 minutes and you’re done.
Then come the EMSculpt NEO Elite paddles. See, the laser empties the fat cells, but the paddles actually destroy them — permanently — using radiofrequency energy. At the same time, they’re triggering thousands of muscle contractions that build and tone the tissue underneath. Fat loss and muscle definition. Same appointment. One visit.
And for those of you sitting at a desk all day — there are a lot of you in Jefferson County, what with all the federal agencies and corporate offices around here — this combo tackles both problems at once. The stubborn midsection fat from hours of sitting, plus the core weakness that’s probably contributing to your back pain. Functional and aesthetic. Two birds.
If you’re searching for body sculpting, you’re probably trying to compare your options. CoolSculpting, Emsculpt, liposuction, laser lipo, tummy tucks — it’s a long list and everybody’s marketing screams “pick me!” Let’s just lay it all out honestly.
Surgical options — we’re talking liposuction, abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), body masculinization contouring (chest sculpting, abdominal etching, flank reduction for men). These are invasive. You need anesthesia. There are real surgical risks and weeks of recovery ahead. Can the results be dramatic? Absolutely — especially after major weight loss where loose skin is part of the picture.
Non-surgical options are a different animal. CoolSculpting freezes fat cells. There’s radiofrequency, ultrasound cavitation, laser lipolysis, and muscle-stimulation devices like Emsculpt. Less invasive, no downtime, way less per session. The trade-off? Results come gradually and you’ll need multiple treatments to get there.
So are non-surgical treatments as effective as surgery? For the right person — genuinely, yes. If you’ve got moderate, localized fat (not a large-volume situation), non-surgical treatments can deliver visible results that last. No risks, no recovery weeks, no five-figure bill. Clinical studies on EMSculpt NEO show an average 30% reduction in subcutaneous fat and a 25% bump in muscle volume in the treated area. Those aren’t small numbers.
What sets our Lakewood clinic apart is that we layer three things together — cold laser, EMSculpt NEO Elite with radiofrequency, and lymphatic support — all in one comprehensive session. You’d normally have to visit two or three different providers to get all of that. We do it under one roof.
And here’s something people overlook. We’re a chiropractic practice first. That means Dr. Warner understands musculoskeletal anatomy at a level most med spas just… don’t. He’s not blindly placing paddles on your stomach. He’s looking at your posture, how you move, your overall physical health — making sure the treatment plan actually fits your body. Big difference.

Depends on your goal. Pure fat reduction? CoolSculpting and laser lipolysis have strong clinical data behind them. Muscle building and toning? Emsculpt-class devices own that space. But if you want fat destruction and muscle development happening at the same time — EMSculpt NEO is the most advanced non-surgical option out there right now. Period.
That’s exactly why we chose the EMSculpt NEO Elite for our Lakewood practice. It’s the upgraded version of the original Emsculpt — fat reduction and muscle building, simultaneously. In 30 minutes, the device fires off roughly 20,000 supramaximal muscle contractions (the kind your body literally cannot produce through normal exercise) while radiofrequency energy heats and destroys fat cells in the treatment zone.
Pair that with the Green Sapphire 10D Cold Laser as a pre-treatment and you’ve got something special. We’re softening the fat cells before the EMSculpt NEO Elite goes to work on them. A one-two punch that amplifies what either technology could do on its own.
How do you find a certified or trusted body contouring expert near you? Credentials and longevity. That’s where you start. Anybody can buy a device and hang a shingle. The real question is whether the provider understands human anatomy, has actual clinical experience, and has stuck around long enough to build trust. Dr. Warner has been practicing in Lakewood for over three decades. He’s earned awards including “Best Chiropractor in Lakewood” and “America’s Top Chiropractors.” The anatomical knowledge he brings to body contouring — most providers in this space simply don’t have it.
When you’re comparing clinics, ask the hard questions. What specific devices do they use? How many sessions will you actually need? Do they offer anything else that supports your results? At our clinic, we can also address pain issues, postural imbalances, and recovery needs that affect how your body looks and performs. A standalone med spa can’t do that.
Here’s where things get genuinely exciting. Fat cells destroyed by the EMSculpt NEO Elite’s radiofrequency energy? Gone. For good. Your body metabolizes them and flushes them out over the weeks after treatment. They don’t grow back. They don’t regenerate. Done.
But — and this is important — the fat cells that remain can still expand if you gain a bunch of weight. Body contouring isn’t a permission slip to ditch healthy habits. Think of it as a tool that works best alongside the active lifestyle most Lakewood folks already have going. Hiking Bear Creek Trail, skiing at Loveland, running Green Mountain — you’re already doing what it takes to protect those results long-term.
Most patients start seeing visible changes after about four sessions. The best results tend to show up 8 to 12 weeks after finishing a full treatment course, as your body keeps flushing destroyed fat cells and those newly strengthened muscles get more defined. We suggest a maintenance session every few months to keep muscle tone sharp, but the fat reduction piece? That’s permanent.
The cold laser side works a bit differently. It empties fat cells instead of destroying them — so yes, those cells can refill over time. That’s exactly why we use the laser as a complement to the EMSculpt NEO Elite, not a substitute. Laser preps the area. Paddles finish the job. Together, the results hold up.
Fun fact — Colorado’s dry climate and high altitude actually help here. The outdoor culture keeps people moving year-round, and the altitude itself bumps up your metabolic demands a touch. Staying hydrated (critical at 5,400 feet, as you probably know) also supports lymphatic drainage, helping your body process destroyed fat cells more efficiently after each treatment.
If you’ve been looking into body contouring across the West Denver area — Lakewood, Wheat Ridge, Golden, or anywhere nearby — and you want proven technology and a provider this community has trusted for over three decades, we’d love to talk. No pressure. No upsells. Just a real conversation about whether this makes sense for your goals.
Common questions about body contouring services in Lakewood, CO
Weight loss is systemic, reducing overall body mass through caloric deficit and exercise. Body contouring is localized, targeting specific stubborn fat deposits that resist general weight loss. Body contouring works best for people near their goal weight who have pockets of fat that won’t respond to diet and exercise.
For combined fat reduction and muscle building, EMSculpt NEO technology is currently the most advanced non-surgical option. It uses radiofrequency to destroy fat cells while triggering approximately 20,000 supramaximal muscle contractions per session. When paired with cold laser pre-treatment, results are amplified beyond either technology used alone.
Fat cells destroyed by EMSculpt NEO Elite radiofrequency energy are permanently eliminated. They do not regenerate. However, remaining fat cells can expand with significant weight gain. Most patients see visible changes after four sessions, with optimal results appearing 8 to 12 weeks after completing a full treatment course.
For moderate, localized fat reduction, non-surgical treatments can deliver visible, lasting results without the risks, recovery time, or cost of surgery. Clinical studies show EMSculpt NEO achieves an average 30% reduction in subcutaneous fat and 25% increase in muscle volume. Surgical options are better suited for large-volume fat removal or excess skin after major weight loss.
Look for providers with clinical credentials, anatomical expertise, community longevity, and transparent pricing. Ask what specific devices they use, how many sessions you’ll need, and what the total cost will be. Dr. Garry Warner at Back Country Chiropractic has over 35 years of practice in Lakewood and brings deep musculoskeletal knowledge to body contouring treatments.
