What Is Body Sculpting? Everything You Need To Know Before Your First Session

If you have tried to tone muscle, reduce cellulite, and achieve a slimmer appearance with disappointing results, a transformative aesthetic solution awaits you at Restorative Medspa. Our world-class body sculpting treatment, EmSculpt Neo, is a safe, non-surgical intervention that will help you fast-track your body contouring goals and boost your confidence without requiring hours out of your schedule or serious downtime.

What Is Non-surgical Body Sculpting?

Body sculpting is a cutting-edge aesthetic procedure that allows you to build muscle and burn fat without spending hours in the gym or undergoing invasive surgery. It is highly effective because it stimulates muscle growth while simultaneously targeting localized fat deposits to help you achieve a slimmer, more toned appearance. What’s more, it only requires brief 30-minute treatment sessions, so it can easily be fitted into a busy schedule.

One of the major advantages of body sculpting is that it involves a relatively simple procedure: a sculpting device is placed on the area of the body being treated for a short period of time, and although you may notice muscle contractions and a gentle warming of the skin tissues, it is an entirely painless and generally well-tolerated treatment. It doesn’t require any aftercare or downtime, and unlike surgical body sculpting, leaves no scarring.

How Does EmSculpt Neo Body Sculpting Work?

At the forefront of recent developments in body sculpting technology is the EmSculpt Neo. This revolutionary device combines High-intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology with radiofrequency (RF) energy to simultaneously target the fat and muscle tissues. HIFEM stimulates muscle contractions using powerful but safe electromagnetic pulses that cause the muscle fibers to contract rapidly, mimicking the impact of a vigorous workout. At the same time, radiofrequency energy is transmitted through the skin to gently heat fat deposits, breaking down fat cells which are then naturally eliminated by the body.

Together, HIFEM and RF technology sculpt and tone the body, eliminating excess fat and building muscle to help you achieve a slimmer, firmer physique. The EmSculpt Neo treatment program is so effective that, on average, it builds 25% more muscle and reduces fat by 30% in the treatment area.

Am I A Suitable Candidate For Body Sculpting?

Body sculpting is an excellent treatment option for anyone who is struggling to reduce stubborn pockets of excess fat in areas of the body that can be difficult to tone through exercise, such as the stomach and upper arms. The EmSculpt Neo can be effectively used on the following areas of the body:

• Abdomen
• Buttocks
• Inner and outer thighs
• Upper arm (biceps and triceps)
• Calves

Body sculpting is also an ideal solution for those who have been working hard to lose weight through exercise and a healthy diet, but have reached a plateau in their fitness levels and need a little bit of help to achieve the toned, muscular appearance they have been striving for. It is important to note that body sculpting is not intended to be a weight loss solution, but is rather designed to support the elimination of fat in targeted areas of the body in otherwise relatively healthy individuals.

What Can I Expect From My Treatment?

Your treatment will begin with a consultation with our highly qualified aesthetic physician, Dr Asma Ghafoor, who will confirm your suitability for treatment and discuss your aesthetic goals with you. Once you have been given the green light to receive body sculpting treatment, you will begin your first session. This will simply involve lying down on the treatment bed so that Dr Ghafoor can place the EmSculpt Neo device over the desired treatment area. Once the device is securely in place, you will begin to feel muscular contractions in the targeted area and may notice a warm sensation. The treatment is comfortable and pain-free, and a single session generally lasts 30 minutes. You will need to have at least four treatments initially, spaced roughly a week apart.

Are There Risks And Side-Effects?

A significant advantage of body sculpting over more invasive body contouring procedures is that it is a very low-risk procedure that produces little to no side-effects. At most, you may experience minor swelling and inflammation in the treatment area. You may also feel slightly sore the next day, as you would after a workout, but generally no downtime is required.

When Will I See Results, And How Long Will They Last?

For most people, between three to four treatment sessions of approximately 30 minutes each will be required before noticeable results are achieved, although the total number of treatments needed will vary from person to person, depending on the area being treated. As it can take time for the body’s natural healing process to break down and remove the damaged fat cells, you will likely only begin to notice the results of your first treatment after about a month or two.

However, once your desired results have been achieved, they will last indefinitely provided you do not gain weight and continue to follow a healthy diet and exercise regularly. As is the case with muscle fitness generally, if the muscle fibers are not continuously grown through exercise, they will atrophy and reduce in size. It is important that you stick to your exercise routine and maintain a healthy lifestyle so you can enjoy the results of your treatment for years to come.
