Could you use a little help toning up your body? Do you have stubborn spots that have resisted diet and exercise? A revolutionary new treatment can slim down pockets of unwanted fat, tighten the remaining skin, and build muscle tone, giving you a sleek, sculpted silhouette. Best of all, EmSculpt treatments at Perfect Skin Center in Scottsdale, AZ, are easy and non-invasive.
Who Is a Good Candidate for EmSculpt?
This body sculpting treatment is an ideal solution for patients who are in fairly good shape but who need a little help resolving a stubborn spot or two. These are patients who exercise regularly, eat right, and are not far over their goal weight. Most have a body mass index of less than 30. Despite those healthy habits, these patients still have parts of their body they’d like to improve.
This body sculpting treatment won’t radically overhaul your figure or help you shed a lot of pounds, but it will enhance your physique and help you achieve the figure you’ve been working toward. There are several other signs you may be an especially good candidate for this body sculpting treatment.
You Want to Rebuild Muscle Strength
Our practice offers several body contouring treatment systems, including CoolSculpting, TruSculpt iD, and Thermismooth. Most other treatment systems focus first and foremost on getting rid of unwanted fat. What makes EmSculpt unique is that it not only tackles excess fat but it also noticeably strengthens and defines your muscles.
Some patients who have undergone this treatment develop six-pack abs for the first time in their life. Others have used it as a non-invasive butt lift that tones and tightens the gluteus maximus. This treatment is also popular among athletes who are looking to strengthen muscles that have weakened as a result of injury and individuals who want to take their workouts to the next level.
You’re In Good Health
Patients who pursue these body sculpting treatments should be in good general health. Individuals who have metal implants, a pacemaker, or muscular problems may not be candidates. This treatment is not suitable for patients who are pregnant.
You’re Not Interested in Surgery
This treatment also has the advantage of being completely non-invasive. That means you won’t have to worry about incisions, anesthesia, or setting aside time in advance to prepare, and time afterward to recover. If you’re looking for an easy way of taking your body to the next level, this body sculpting treatment is for you.
How Does This Treatment Work?
This treatment system harnesses the power of High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic energy. When directed toward the treatment area, this energy works to burn fat and trigger the same type of muscle contractions associated with strenuous exercise. This treatment spurs your body to go through the same process it would go through if you were doing thousands of squats or crunches.
What Is Treatment Like?
Each treatment takes about 30 minutes. During your session, an external applicator will be gently strapped over your treatment area and will direct the electromagnetic energy. You will feel the deep muscle contractions as they take place, and you may even notice your legs gently rising and falling with each contraction, but you won’t experience any discomfort. You’ll be comfortably reclined during treatment and may choose to read, nap, or simply relax.
What Parts of the Body Does It Work On?
This treatment system is most often used to treat the abdominal area, but it can also be used on other muscular areas of the body like the butt, chest, and flanks. Our practice now offers a smaller applicator that also makes it possible for us to provide targeted treatment on smaller areas of muscle like the biceps, triceps, and calves.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
Does It Really Work?
This amazing treatment really does work. Clinical tests have shown that patients who undergo these sessions lose an average of 19% of the fat in the treatment area. The muscle in the treatment area increases by an average of 16%. This treatment system is a great way to tighten and tone your body while improving its overall shape. And because this treatment will leave your body more muscular, your metabolism will increase and you’ll burn calories more efficiently.
How Soon Will I See Results?
You’ll start to see improvement in your body two to four weeks after your final treatment, and your results will continue to develop for several weeks after that. If you maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise and a careful diet, you’ll be able to enjoy your results for the long-term. Booking touch-up sessions a couple of times a year is another way of preserving your new look.
How Does This Compare to Other Body Sculpting Treatments?
CoolSculpting
CoolSculpting, which is also offered by our practice, rids the body of unwanted fat through a series of non-invasive treatments. During each session, an external applicator directs cool temperatures to the target area, freezing fat cells to death. Those fat cells then flush from the body naturally over a period of weeks. CoolSculpting makes it possible for patients to precisely target their problem areas and get rid of unwanted fat, but it doesn’t improve muscle definition.
TruSculpt iD
TruSculpt iD uses external applicators to deliver monopolar radiofrequency to the treatment area, destroying fat cells. The body then disposes of those fat cells in the weeks to come. TruSculpt iD blasts away fat and tightens the skin in the area that is being treated, just like EmSculpt, but it doesn’t build muscle strength. TruSculpt iD is one of the many treatments our practice offers.
Thermismooth
Thermismooth, yet another treatment offered by our practice, uses warming radiofrequency energy to heat the treatment area in a way to reduces fat and smooths over wrinkles and cellulite. This treatment can be used to improve the shape of your body and the appearance of your skin. It does not support muscle development.
Can I Combine One of Those Other Treatments With EmSculpt?
Yes. Because other body sculpting treatments don’t improve muscle strength and definition, EmSculpt makes a great companion to any one of them. Patients who combine treatments usually start with a series of fat-busting treatments with CoolSculpting, TruSculpt iD, or Thermismooth. Once they’ve gotten rid of unwanted fat, a series of muscle-building EmSculpt treatments follows. This combination of treatment systems gives patients powerful results.
