Best Body Contouring Treatment to Get During COVID

The world of plastic surgery and dermatology is constantly changing, advancing and improving. So, it should come as no surprise that there are now non-invasive treatments to help you shed fat and sculpt your body.

And, while there are several treatments available, Emsculpt is unique. It may just be the best body contouring treatment for you.

Emsculpt

This FDA cleared, non-surgical body contouring treatment is known for its impressive muscle toning and fat burning abilities. Even better, it requires no downtime afterwards. Yes, you heard correctly, absolutely no downtime. Let’s look at the technology behind this revolutionary treatment.

How It Works to Sculpt Your Body

This body contouring treatment uses cutting-edge technology to eliminate fat and tone the muscles. The name Emsculpt is derived from the science behind the treatment. Emsculpt uses electromagnetic energy to make muscles in the treatment are contract. This is similar to how muscles contract naturally. With Emsculpt, the muscles contract much stronger than our bodies can, creating what is called super maximal contractions.

Imagine doing 20,000 squats or sit-ups in one session. Impossible right? But this technology can induce that many supramaximal muscle contractions. These contractions force the muscle tissue to adapt to the extreme conditions. This process creates stunning results as the muscles remodel their inner structure to build muscle and burn fat.

Emsculpt vs Other Treatments

So, what makes it different? First, there is no other device available that actually builds or tones muscle. Emsculpt works to build muscle in the same way that exercising does, but to a much greater extent. Since the muscles need energy for these contractions, they burn the local fat stores. While there are other non-invasive body shaping techniques, none of them can deliver the superior results achieved with Emsculpt.

It is FDA cleared for the strengthening, toning, and firming of 5 different body areas. It’s important to note that this is not a weight loss treatment. It works best for individuals who are in good shape already and looking for a way to really tone and firm their muscles. Icing on the cake, so to speak.

Good Candidate for Emsculpt

As with other procedures, Emsculpt is not right for everyone. Ideal candidates are relatively thin, fit patients looking for a way to tone the abdomen and lift the buttocks in a way that can’t be accomplished with their own efforts. If a person has a large amount of generalized body fat, they won’t see a drastic difference with Emsculpt. However, patients who are active but struggle with a small area of stubborn body fat, are good candidates for treatment.

Emsculpt can help eliminate that fat and give the muscles more definition. It is popular among men and women alike. Furthermore, it can be a great option for patients recovering from an injury. Many athletes and patients recovering form sports injuries choose Emsculpt as a quick way to strengthen the muscle groups that injury has weakened.

Anyone with metal or electronics, like a pacemaker, implanted anywhere in their body, or patients with muscle issues such as complicated hernias, are not suitable candidates for Emsculpt. Like an MRI, there can be no metal around the device. Consult your doctor if you have metal implants.

The Process: Sculpt Your Body

Each session takes approximately 30 minutes. If you are focusing on two different treatment areas, you will require two 30-minute sessions. Typical protocol recommends four sessions within a two-week period for optimal results. These sessions are usually spaced 2-3 days apart.

“COVID has changed all of our lives and I look forward to the day when it is gone!  For now, EmSculpt is a nice way to build muscle and decrease fat while staying safe.  You can enjoy almost a full body work out since it can treat abdomen, buttocks, arms and legs.” – Dr. Nicole Hayre

Results

Studies have shown a 15-20% percent muscle growth and fat reduction in the treatment area after following the recommended regimen. You can feel results right after treatment, but full results can take 2-4 weeks and will continue to improve for several weeks after the treatment.

How Long Will the Results Last?

This depends on how active the patient’s lifestyle is. Many people maintain their body afterwards with their regular exercise, but other patients choose to return for more treatment as their maintenance.

If you are physically active and exercise regularly then you can maintain the results for a very long time, or even permanently. If you do not exercise, the muscle will slowly diminish, and the fat will return.

Side Effects

After treatment you may experience minor soreness. On rare occasions people report feeling fatigues, as if they had finished a strenuous workout. However, the Emsculpt process actually helps clear lactic acid from the muscle and prevents patients from becoming too sore. You can resume regular activities immediately after your treatment.
