Often multiple treatments are required to achieve desired result.\u00a0 Results are more variable than with liposuction. Another non-surgical device, <a title=\"Dr. Ringler body procedures non-surgical Exilis Elite\" href=\"\/body-procedures-grand-rapids\/non-surgical\/exilis-elite\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Exilis Elite<\/a> uses radiofrequency technology to destroy fat cells in one hour sessions as the device is moved rapidly over the treatment area. \u00a0A benefit of Exilis is that it is able to treat areas such as the arms, neck, knees, flanks, and other areas that are difficult to treat with CoolSculpting, or in some cases, with liposuction.\u00a0 As with CoolSculpting, results are not as predictable as with liposuction.<\/p>\n<p>If you would like to learn more about the benefits of body-contouring, please contact <a title=\"Dr. Steven Ringler\" href=\"\/\">Dr. Steven Ringler<\/a> at 616.328.8800.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Weightloss &amp; Liposution in Grand Rapids, MI Much to the disappointment of many of our patients, liposuction, Coolsculpting and Exilis Elite are not procedures that result in much weight loss.\u00a0 They do help to sculpt and reshape the body.\u00a0 All of these procedures do destroy fat cells permanently, but the end result of the procedures &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stevenringlermd.com\/blog\/liposuction-and-weight-loss\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Liposuction and Weight Loss<\/span> <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41,157,165,138,168],"tags":[45,27,137,37,26,136],"class_list":["post-1791","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-body-jet-liposuction","category-coolsculpting","category-exilis-elite","category-liposuction-2","category-smartlipo","tag-body-contouring","tag-body-jet-lipo","tag-coolsculpting","tag-fat-freezing","tag-liposuction","tag-smartlipo-triplex"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Liposuction Grand Rapids, MI | Steven L.
