Smart Lipo - Laser & Cosmetic Center

“Embody is not just about making people look better, it’s about treating the individual as a whole,” says Dr. Zainab Contractor, one of the founders of Embody. “Our approach is sincere and realistic, striving to make a significant improvement not just to the patient’s physical appearance, but their overall well being. We discuss each individual’s concerns and then provide options that best fits their goals. ”

Embody, formerly SmartLipo Laser & Cosmetic Center, strives to provide the best quality of care with a comprehensive selection of advanced cosmetic treatments performed by highly skilled physicians. Embody is led by three of the area’s leading physicians including Board Certified Neurologist and cosmetic physician, Dr. Zainab Contractor.

Dr. Contractor came to the Cincinnati area in 2007 and has since made a home for herself. She is able to draw on her experience as a Neurologist to provide a keen perspective into the mind-body connection. She understands the importance that the physical appearance plays on the mental well being of an individual.

“I have always been very involved with the well-being of women,” says Dr. Contractor. “Women are at the center of any family – running the household, working, being a mother and a wife. A woman starts seeing changes in her skin and body as early as her 30’s. When it comes to cosmetics, it is really important that women are able to continue to look and feel their best into their 40s, 50s 60s and even 70s.”

This belief that women should be pampered and allowed to look and feel their best is at the foundation of Dr. Contractor’s practice. Embody provides a full range of cosmetic treatments for women and men to help them reshape their bodies, rejuvenate their skin, and enhance their personal well-being.

One of the things that sets Embody apart from other cosmetic practices is the individualized attention and one-on-one time that each patient receives from their physician. Dr. Contractor spends between a half hour and an hour during her consultations to help answer the patient’s questions. During this consultation, she reviews the patient’s medical history, and identifies their personal goals.

Dr. Contractor is quick to note that they help the patient set realistic expectations rather than promise results that aren’t possible. Most patients, she says, see a dramatic improvement in their appearance whether their goal is to lose inches, remove unwanted fat, or rejuvenate the skin.

The ultimate goal at Embody is to give the patient an overall positive experience. One in which they are happy with the level of care and satisfied with the results. “Many patients don’t realize how easy cosmetic enhancement can be,” says Dr. Contractor. “New patients are sometimes anxious about treatment, not knowing what to expect. When their treatment is complete, they often comment that it was easier and more comfortable than they thought.”

Embody offers a variety of cosmetic treatments. Some of them are quick and have no down time. Others like SmartLipo™, an advanced laser lipolysis technique, are performed under local anesthesia and have a minimal downtime. Embody was the first practice in the region to offer Smartlipo™. Once again taking the lead, Embody is one of the first cosmetic practices to offer Exilis, an advanced radio frequency body sculpting procedure that can help melt fat and tighten the skin in a few simple treatments.
