Emsculpt Body Sculpting – The New Way to Beat Stubborn Fat
In an ever-evolving world of beauty, there is no end of therapies available for individuals trying to lose weight, burn fat and modify their bodies. One fashion trend that has remained a reoccurring theme in the last few decades is the desire for well-defined abs. That is six-packs for guys and flat tummy for the ladies. With clothing styles requiring well-structured mid-section, no one can blame you for running this search on Google. Let us introduce you to EMSCULPT. It is the newest addition to the trend of non-surgical fat-reduction procedures.
According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, the non-surgical category includes fat-freezer CoolSculpting, fat-melting lasers such as SculpSure has the highest number of patients at 39.3% aged between 35-50 years old. Emsculpt is the ‘new kid on the block’ — with an increasing popularity rate. It had a near-25 percent patient adoption increase in the last year alone.
What Is Emsculpt and Emsculpt Neo?
The only type of non-invasive surgery that allows patients to increase muscle mass and sculpt their bodies with no need for downtime and anesthesia is EMSCULPT. The E and M represent the technology (Electromagnetic energy) involved in the sculpting process. It works by directing high-intensity electromagnetic energy on the muscle tissue, inducing more significant muscular contractions that stimulate muscle fibers than the typical exercise. EMSCULPT also offers the first non-invasive buttock toning technique in the world. It is a body sculpting process that develops muscle mass and burns fat. It also has FDA approval.
The muscular groups of the belly and buttocks, smaller body parts such as the upper arms, thighs, and calves, can be reinforced, toned, and strengthened with this non-surgical treatment. Hence, there is more muscle tone and a smaller midsection.
Emsculpt Neo is an advanced next-generation procedure that combines upgraded HIFEM (High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic technology) technology to cause deep muscle stimulation. It delivers up to 20% more electromagnetic pulses than the original with radiofrequency (RF) energy in the form of heat to burn fat more effectively. Emsculpt Neo is also FDA-approved for lipolysis (fat removal) in body parts. Practitioners apply the Emsculpt neo in the locations as the original device.
It’s significant to mention that these cosmetic innovations go with an active, healthy lifestyle, not a replacement for conscious eating or regular exercise. The excitement for this solution to exercise blues is high.
What Sets Emsculpt Apart?
Emsculpt is unique due to its dual-action. It not only implodes fat cells (resulting in a 19 percent reduction after four treatments) but also develops muscle fibers (by around 16 percent) for more defined abs plus rounder rear-ends. Results showed “an average 18.6% reduction of adipose tissue thickness, 15.4% increase in rectus abdominal muscle thickness and 10.4% reduction in rectus abdominus separation” from HIFEM treatment.
Also, Arash Akhavan, a board-certified dermatologist at Dermatology & Laser Group, says
“Essentially, Emsculpt induces 20,000 muscular contractions in 30 minutes, tightening the muscles beyond any natural norm and focusing on fat loss to the region of the muscle – something sit-ups alone could never do,”
Adding, “The muscles produce hormones locally during these powerful pulses that feel like it is complaining, ‘Oh God, we’re being tremendously overworked; this isn’t normal.“
The fat cells in the region get the signal to break down their constituents and discharge them as lipids. The overwhelming amount of fatty acids causes fat cells to malfunction and die afterward, undergoing the process of expulsion by the body as waste. All the while, the muscles are reported to go through cellular changes, hardening and reinforcing.
Let us examine how the procedure attacks fat in weight-loss stubborn body areas.
Emsculpt for Sculpting Arms and Abs
The pulses from the machine energize areas of your body to gain muscle—places like the biceps and triceps that don’t react quickly to a regular workout. When your arm is subjected to the specific electromagnetic pulses, it responds by contracting in tiny waves that go up and down your tri/biceps. EMSCULPT allows you to build muscle while also providing a natural muscular tone.
To define the abs, i.e., the abdominal or stomach region, HIFEM causes’ supramaximal’ contractions, which engage all of your muscular tissues. According to research by exercise experts, your muscles can only reach about 40% of their maximal capacity during a conventional workout. In contrast, EMSCULPT allows them to get 100% capacity. Strengthening your core muscles can strengthen the lower back and pelvic muscles. This is the equivalent of approximately 20,000 perfect sit-ups in a 30-minute session.
Emsculpt for Legs and Butt
It feels like you are injuring and wearing down your muscles when exercising. Indeed, you are. This process forces the legs and butt area to burn fat as your body begins to heal; the wear and tear reverse while the muscular tissues repair themselves. When the body undergoes this process, it rebuilds the muscles to make them stronger and more stable to safeguard them from additional harm. EMSCULPT’s significant contractions are essentially a turbocharged version of this process. It hastens the process of fat burning and toning without the exercise discomfort, which rebuilds the inner structure of the targeted muscles.
Are You a Candidate for Emsculpt?
The best prospects for the procedure are men and women who are at or near their optimal weight. You have to be health/nutrition-conscious and work out regularly. You must understand the procedure is to supplement your efforts for a more muscle tone than the workout can provide. The treatment has no age restrictions.
Please note that the scar tissue from previous surgery ( C -section, abdominoplasty, or liposuction) can make contractions unpleasant. You can undergo the treatment as long as you are completely healed and have nerve sensation in the treatment location.
You are ineligible for Emsculpt if you have the following conditions:
- Pacemakers for the heart.
- During pregnancy
- You have Defibrillators or neuro-stimulators implanted.
- Implanted electronic devices.
- Insufficiency in the lungs functions.
- implants made of metal
- Pumps for pharmaceuticals
- Hemorrhagic disorders
- Heart problems
- Metallic IUD
- Malignant tumor
- Fever
- Epilepsy
If you have a higher BMI, you can get the procedure and reinforce your muscles, but the fat will hide the muscular definition from the treatment.
How Safe Is Emsculpt?
Emsculpt has no known side effects other than minor muscle discomfort. Redness, swelling, bruising, and numbness are common side effects of non-invasive body contouring procedures. Patients may show off their abdomen or work out the same day after the treatment. The treatment leaves no marks making it easy to go about your daily business in any dress you choose. That said, the fact that the treatment is a novel non-invasive surgery is cause for concern for many patients.
As a result, any long-term consequences are currently unclear. Discuss any concerns about your safety regarding the treatment with your practitioner, especially if you have any underlying health issues. At present, the procedure has a low chance of side effects. Yet, some patients notice slight pain following the operation because it feels like strenuous activity. It will pass within a few days.
To wrap up,
The Emsculpt treatment though new, comes with a lot of potentials. It is a technique with a double-edged sword. To tone muscle and get rid of fat without undergoing an invasive aesthetic treatment like liposuction. This treatment is not just quick and easy, but the effects may be remarkable.
