It can be disheartening to put in the hard work by eating well and exercising only to find that your last stubborn area refuses to move, especially when you don’t want to consider surgery as an option. However, there are non surgical treatments available to help. Non-surgical body sculpting, or body contouring, is a surgery-free treatment to reduce or remove stubborn fat from the body that appears resistant to diet and exercise.
This article explains what body sculpting is, how the Emsculpt Neo works, and the benefits of non surgical body sculpting. To find out more or to schedule a consultation, contact our professional team at Glow Medispa today.
What Is Non Surgical Body Sculpting?
Non-surgical body sculpting aims to redefine your appearance and give you the sculpted look of your dreams. This non-invasive treatment is convenient and can help you to achieve your body goals without surgery or invasive cosmetic procedures.
The Benefits Of Non Surgical Body Sculpting
Non surgical body sculpting, or body contouring, comes with a large range of benefits such as:
Less chance of risk More traditional options such as liposuction come with inherent risks due to being surgical in nature. Cutting and removing body fat requires anaesthesia and puts the body through stress, which can lead to post-surgery complications including infections, hernias, hypoglycaemia, and more. Non surgical body sculpting lessens the risk of such complications as it targets fat cells instead of stubborn tissue, leading to a reduced chance of side effects.
Easier recovery process Non surgical body contouring allows you to continue living your lifestyle as usual thanks to its much easier recovery process when compared to other options. You won’t need to deal with taking care of wounds, and you won’t need long recovery periods that can last for weeks on end. Surgical operations require the body to repair its incisions, which non surgical body sculpting removes the need for. However, nothing is without some risk: Typical side effects of non surgical body contouring are generally mild and often consist of inflammation, muscle soreness, and mild redness that lasts for up to a day or two, similar to a sunburn.
Quick and easy appointments Many body contouring sessions can be performed in 25 minutes to an hour, which is much faster than surgical procedures. Most of our treatments are 30 minutes in length. While the length of your appointment will vary depending on the size of the area you’re targeting, it will certainly take less time than its surgical counterpart. Additionally, you don’t need to prepare for surgery and arrange transport to and from your appointment, saving you both time and stress. Quick and easy appointments are easy to fit into everyday life, as they don’t require you to take long periods off work.
Lower costs Non surgical procedures come at a lower cost than traditional plastic surgery or fat loss treatments as they are much less invasive and complex.
Long-term and targeted results Non-surgical body sculpting exclusively targets fat cells as opposed to surgical options which attempt to dissolve fatty tissue. As such, non surgical body contouring has a higher accuracy rating, and the effects remain visible for the long term.
Targets stubborn areas Sometimes fat is simply stubborn, and no matter how much hard work you put in, it refuses to budge. Non surgical body contouring can handle these areas by targeting pockets such as the abdomen, thighs, flanks, and upper arms.
What is Emsculpt Neo?
Emsculpt Neo was first introduced at the very end of 2019, and has quickly become the dominant body sculpting device in the country, supplanting Coolsculpting. Emsculpt Neo uses two simultaneous modalities to kill fat and build muscle:
Radiofrequency (RF) heats the skin, fat and muscle. It is able to destroy fat cells in addition to tighten skin and maximize the strengthening effect on the muscle.
High Frequency Electromagnetic stimulation (HIFEM) works to cause massive muscle contractions to build and strengthen muscles. Working together, the RF and HIFEM actually increase each other’s effects, maximizing results.
How does Emsculpt Neo work on different body parts?
There are 3 different kinds of applicators with Emsculpt Neo.
The main flat applicator - or abdomen applicator - is used for the abdomen, buttocks and thighs. It is large and flat, and can cover a lot of territory.
The smaller curved applicator - or arm applicator - can be used for biceps, triceps and calves.
With the versatility of these different applicators, Emsculpt Neo can be used to treat just about every body part.
What are the benefits of Emsculpt Neo?
The results from Emsculpt Neo are decreased fat and increased muscle strength, tone and increased muscle mass. Emsculpt Neo can help to achieve: ⦁ Toned abdominals ⦁ Lifted, toned buttocks ⦁ More defined arms: biceps and triceps ⦁ Slimmer love handles ⦁ Stronger abdominal obliques ⦁ Inner and outer thigh toning ⦁ Tighter, firmer calf muscles
