Anyone who has tried to build targeted muscle groups in the gym knows that some areas are especially difficult to tackle. While you may be in overall good shape, certain areas may not have the shape and tone you want to see. Emsculpt® tones muscles and removes fat to improve your contours and muscle definition.
What is Emsculpt® for Body Sculpting?
You have many options for body sculpting treatments. However, Emsculpt® and Emsculpt Neo® combine fat removal with muscle building using two forms of energy to target fat cells while causing muscle cells to contract. This painless treatment lifts, tones, and tightens your problem areas to reveal the figure you have worked for.
How Does Emsculpt® Work for Muscle Toning?
Emsculpt Neo® uses High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM®) technology and radiofrequency energy together to achieve its effects. Most body sculpting systems use fat removal technology such as radiofrequency or cryotherapy but do not pair it with electromagnetic muscle stimulation.
The electromagnetic energy causes your muscles to contract intensely, deeply, and rapidly. It can trigger up to 20,000 contractions in a 30-minute treatment, resulting in transformative muscle toning. The series of rapid contractions have a greater effect on muscles than even the most intense workouts, causing micro-damage to muscle fibers that make the muscles stronger, thicker, and more toned as they are repaired.
At the same time, Emsculpt Neo® is directing radiofrequency energy through your skin to target your fat cells. The RF energy heats fat cells, damaging them without affecting other tissues. Your body responds to these damaged fat cells by filtering them away, leaving the treated area slimmer and more sculpted over the newly strengthened muscle.
Which Areas Can Emsculpt® Treat?
Emsculpt® can treat many of the areas people struggle to shape and tone:
- Abdomen
- Buttocks (performed without reducing the overlying fat to lift and shape)
- Arms
- Thighs
Emsculpt® is an effective, non-surgical way to achieve more lifted, shapely buttocks. It can also help define your six-pack, slim your legs, and address the fat and muscle under the upper arms. Toning and slimming with this transformative technology help many people achieve the shape and definition they have been working toward but can’t achieve despite their efforts.
What Results Will I See With Emsculpt Neo® Body Sculpting?
Most people benefit from a series of four treatments spaced a week apart. You will notice improved muscle strength after each treatment. Full muscle tone and definition become visible two to six weeks after your last session. This treatment can produce a 25% improvement in muscle development. Fat removal results appear after about three months, and you can see up to 30% fat loss after your series of treatments.
Am I a Good Candidate for Emsculpt®?
Good candidates for Emsculpt® want to tone and sculpt their problem areas. Ideal candidates are close to their target weight and in generally good physical shape. These individuals will see the greatest improvements. However, others can still benefit from Emsculpt Neo®. You should not have this treatment if you have any type of metallic device or implant in your body.
