For a lot of people in Las Cruces, warmer weather means taking a hard look at stubborn areas that diet and exercise have not touched. Body contouring in Las Cruces at Fountain of Youth LC uses the PhysiQ 360 system to address exactly those areas, with no surgery, no needles, and no downtime.
What is body contouring?
Medical body contouring uses targeted energy to reduce fat, tighten skin, and refine shape in specific areas. Unlike general weight loss, which trims fat throughout the body, contouring focuses on precise spots that resist diet and exercise, with no recovery time.
The goal is improved definition and a more proportional silhouette in the areas that bother you most, rather than a number on the scale.
How does PhysiQ 360 work?
PhysiQ 360 is a multi-technology platform that combines radiofrequency, ultrasound cavitation, and muscle stimulation in one system. During a session, it delivers controlled energy to break down fat cells, stimulate collagen for skin tightening, and activate the underlying muscle.
- Radiofrequency heats tissue to stimulate collagen and tighten skin.
- Ultrasound cavitation helps break down targeted fat cells.
- Muscle stimulation activates the muscle beneath the treatment area.
Each session builds on the last, and results keep improving for several weeks after your final treatment as your body processes and clears the treated cells.
What areas can be treated?
The most common areas our Las Cruces patients treat are the abdomen, love handles and flanks, inner and outer thighs, and the upper arms. These are the spots that tend to hold on to fat despite consistent diet and exercise.
- Abdomen
- Love handles and flanks
- Inner and outer thighs
- Upper arms
How does it pair with GLP-1 weight-loss programs?
Body contouring and medical weight loss solve different problems. Weight-loss medication helps you lose fat overall, while contouring refines the specific areas left behind. Many patients use them together for a more even, proportional result.

Who is a good candidate?
Good candidates are close to or working toward their goal weight and want to refine stubborn areas rather than lose large amounts of fat. A consultation confirms whether PhysiQ 360 fits your goals and body.

Frequently asked questions
Is PhysiQ 360 body contouring painful?
Most patients describe the session as warm and comfortable, similar to a warm massage. There is no surgery, no needles, and no downtime, so you can return to your day right after.
How many sessions will I need?
It varies by area and goal. Your provider recommends a series during your consultation, and results continue to develop for several weeks after the final session.
Is body contouring a substitute for weight loss?
No. Contouring refines specific areas but does not replace overall weight loss. Many patients combine it with a medical weight-loss program for the best overall shape.
When will I see results?
Some changes appear within a few weeks, and results continue improving as your body clears the treated fat cells over the weeks following your last session.
