Each treatment below answers a different question.

If you want to improve the contour or appearance of a specific area but are not yet sure which technology makes sense, start with our Body Contouring page.

CoolSculpting Elite is a focused option for people specifically interested in non-surgical treatment of selected localized areas of fat using controlled cooling.

WellForm MD also offers UltraSlim as our current red-light technology.
Explore Red Light TherapyBody contouring is the broader comparison pathway. It helps you think through the area you want evaluated, your cosmetic goal, whether the concern involves localized fat or muscle tone, and which treatment may deserve a closer look.
Body contouring is not a treatment for obesity and is not a substitute for medical weight loss.
If CoolSculpting is already the treatment you are researching, its dedicated page is the right place to learn about treatment areas, candidacy, the consultation process, risks and limitations, and current plan pricing.
We intentionally keep those details on the CoolSculpting page rather than duplicating them here.
The dedicated EMSCULPT NEO page explains which areas may be considered, what the treatment experience involves, candidacy, limitations, and current access at the Ankeny clinic.
No cosmetic technology can guarantee a particular change in body contour, fat, or muscle before an individual evaluation.
If you are specifically researching red light therapy, UltraSlim, treatment areas, candidacy, or what a light-based cosmetic treatment may and may not do, use the dedicated Red Light Therapy page.
Red light therapy should not be presented as a substitute for medical weight loss or as a guarantee of a particular change in pounds, inches, or body fat.
You do not need to know which device or treatment you need before you schedule a consultation. Start with the area you want evaluated and the change you would like to discuss. Our team can help you understand the available options, what each treatment is designed to do, its limitations, and whether it may be appropriate for you.
Medical spa technology is not one-size-fits-all.
Different treatments use different technologies and are intended for different cosmetic goals. Someone interested in a small, localized area of fat may need a very different conversation from someone interested in muscle tone or a light-based treatment.
During a consultation at our Ankeny clinic, we can discuss the change you are seeking, your health history, previous procedures, relevant medications or medical devices, and the treatment options currently available.
The goal is to help you make an informed decision rather than force every concern into the same treatment.
At WellForm MD, the first question is not:
“Which machine should I choose?”
It is:
“What area or concern would you like us to evaluate?”
Your consultation begins with the area and goal you want evaluated. Treatment recommendations come after that conversation rather than before it.
We offer several non-invasive technologies for different cosmetic concerns. Each option has its own intended uses, limitations, treatment experience, and candidacy considerations.
Non-invasive does not mean risk-free, and no treatment is right for everyone. We discuss what a treatment may reasonably address as well as what it cannot promise.
WellForm MD is located in Ankeny and serves patients from throughout Greater Des Moines. Your evaluation takes place at our Ankeny clinic, where the treatment area and your goals can be assessed in person.
You do not need to choose a technology before you come in.
A simpler way to begin is with the concern you are trying to address.
If you want to compare several options for a specific area, start with Body Contouring.
If you are specifically interested in a localized area of fat and are researching controlled cooling, explore CoolSculpting Elite.
If your concern involves body contour and muscle tone, explore EMSCULPT NEO.
If you are interested in WellForm MD's light-based treatment, explore Red Light Therapy with UltraSlim.
And if you still do not know which direction makes sense, book a Medical Spa consultation. We can start with the area and goal rather than a device name.
Book a Medical Spa ConsultationThis distinction matters.
Non-invasive body-contouring procedures are designed to change the appearance or contour of a treated area. They are not treatments for obesity and do not provide the health benefits associated with medical weight loss.
Someone may be at or near a stable weight and still want to discuss a localized cosmetic concern. That is a Medical Spa conversation.
Someone whose primary goal is losing a meaningful amount of body weight, improving obesity-related health concerns, or receiving physician-supervised weight management needs a different pathway.
For that purpose, start with our Weight Loss program rather than trying to use cosmetic body contouring as a weight-loss treatment.
Start with the area or cosmetic concern you want evaluated.
You do not need to know the name of the treatment you need.
Depending on the treatment being considered, we may review relevant health conditions, medications, previous procedures, implants, sensitivities, and other factors that could affect candidacy.
If one or more current treatments may fit your concern, we can explain how they differ, what each is intended to address, and the important limitations.
Before scheduling treatment, you should understand what the treatment involves, relevant risks or contraindications, how sessions are planned, and the cost associated with the specific option being discussed.
A consultation may lead to treatment, a different option, or a decision that none of the currently offered Medical Spa treatments are appropriate for your concern.
A consultation does not guarantee that a particular treatment will be recommended.
Aesthetic technology can be useful when the treatment matches the right concern, but the decision should begin with realistic expectations.
There is no universally “best” body-contouring treatment.
Different technologies are designed for different goals, treatment areas, and patient circumstances.
Results also vary. Depending on the treatment, changes may take time to become noticeable, more than one session may be considered, maintenance may be discussed, or the result may differ from what a person hoped for.
WellForm MD does not promise a specific number of inches, pounds, sessions, or a guaranteed cosmetic result before evaluation.
