A Frisco nurse practitioner started a body contouring clinic with one red light therapy device in a small suite

Frisco Body Contouring began with one red light therapy device in a small suite. Jenessa McKray, a nurse practitioner, tried red light therapy herself before she ever offered it to anyone else.

McKray says she had struggled with her weight for as long as she can remember. She played basketball in college. She lost weight and gained it back, trained twice a day, meal prepped and tried one diet after another. The love handles stayed. Her mother told her she was "big-boned," McKray says, and she believed that for years.

"I never wanted surgery, so I started looking into non-invasive treatments," she says. Red light therapy was the first she tried, and she saw how it could help with the areas she had fought with. "That's when I thought, 'You know what? I think I could turn this into a business.'"

As more clients came in, McKray looked for ways to get them better results and added Icoone, a treatment she says can work alongside other technologies. Her nursing background pushed her to keep asking what else the clinic could do. Over time the menu grew to include skin rejuvenation, skin tightening and weight management. The clinic now sits in Frisco, Texas, and its website lists services from Emsculpt NEO to Venus Bliss and RF microneedling.

That growth follows a wider market. IMARC, a market research firm, puts the global body contouring market at USD 9.4 billion in 2025 and projects USD 15.0 billion by 2034. Those figures describe the whole industry, not any one clinic.

At Frisco Body Contouring, a visit starts with a conversation. "The first thing I want to know is, what are they hoping to achieve?" McKray says. She asks what bothers a client most, what they have already tried and what they are comfortable with. Some clients come about stubborn fat, some about loose skin, some about weight or building muscle. "I don't want to assume that what works for one person will work for someone else," she says.

The clinic also uses an InBody scan, which reports body fat percentage, muscle mass and total body water. McKray says the scan tells a client more than the scale does, though she calls the conversation "just as important as the scan." Her team tracks each client's progress, answers questions and checks in on motivation. She recalls one client who talked through her first scan, including concerns about losing muscle and visceral fat. As she worked toward her goals, her body composition changed, and she was proud of the effort even though her photos did not show a dramatic difference. "Progress isn't always about looking completely different," McKray says. "Sometimes, it's about getting stronger, being consistent, and taking better care of yourself."

McKray is plain with clients who are weighing surgery. "If someone is considering surgery, I'm honest with them," she says. She says non-surgical treatments will not give everyone the same results as surgery, and that she chose a non-invasive route for herself because it was what she wanted. She lets clients look at before-and-after photos and ask questions without having to decide on the spot.

The website also carries an online treatment planner. A visitor clicks the areas they are concerned about, picks aesthetic goals and submits their information to receive personalized treatment recommendations. McKray says it exists for people who know what bothers them but not which treatment might help, so they can look at options "without feeling rushed or pressured to book an appointment right away." She still wants to talk with a client before a plan is set.

One client came in five weeks before her wedding with, by McKray's account, low expectations. After starting Icoone treatments she told the clinic: "Where there were visible areas of my wedding dress that I did not feel comfortable in - I had hopes that come the BIG day - it would be a little better. Nope... it was A LOT better. It was perfect."

McKray says she does not want to be the person who handles every conversation herself. She sometimes steps back and lets a team member lead one so they can learn. "I want my staff to feel confident, trust themselves, and know that I trust them, too," she says. Reviews of the clinic name McKray along with Nayeli and Patsy. One reads: "The team takes the time to understand your individual needs and create a tailored program that leaves you feeling both excited and inspired."

What McKray wants people to take from the clinic goes past the treatment list. "I know what it feels like to struggle with your body, and I want our clients to feel understood," she says. "I want them to feel good about themselves, inside and out, and know they have someone in their corner."
