Truly defined contours rely on firm muscles and tight skin.If you have the muscles, but your skin sits loose above them, nobody will be able to see the impressive definition. On the other hand, if you have firm skin, but small or poorly defined muscles beneath, the area can look flat—or even rounded due to the presence of excess fat. With EMSCULPT at Palm Beach’s Carroll Dermatology patients can address all of the key elements of a well-defined body—skin, fat, and muscle—in a single treatment.
EMPSCULPT is an entirely noninvasive treatment that combines synchronized radiofrequency energy with high-intensity focused electromagnetic stimulation to help patients define their own look.
The radiofrequency energy is designed to encourage structure-providing collagen production that gives the skin a tighter and firmer look. The heat generated by the RF energy also helps to reduce fat cells in the area, removing bulky volume that can obscure the muscles below.
The high-intensity focused electromagnetic stimulation of an EMSCULPT treatment causes rapid muscle contractions that result in improved muscle size and strength. These intense contractions require fuel, so they also lead to the breakdown of fat cells in the area.
Reduced fat plus more muscle equals more visible contours and better definition. The results are lasting, especially with an ongoing healthy diet and regular exercise.
EMSCULPT sessions last about 30 minutes, with ideal results typically developing after four visits spaced five to 10 days apart. Patients will feel like they have just undergone an intense workout in the targeted area, but there is no need to take any down time for healing or recovery. You are free to resume whatever activities you would like after your EMSCULPT appointment.
Collagen and elastin levels in the skin will rise in the weeks and months following your protocol. During this time, fat cells will also break down and muscle tissue will increase.
The EMSCULPT device is approved to work on areas all over the body, with 10 particular areas of focus: the belly or abdomen, the flanks,the buttocks, the fronts and backs of the thighs, the outer and inner thighs,the biceps and triceps on the arms, and the calves.
In addition to the cosmetic benefits of this treatment, many patients find that their improved strength allows them to better enjoy physical activities. It can also treat visceral fat, as well as decrease cardiovascular risk and improve liver health for patients affected by fatty liver. Talk to our team about the many potential benefits you can expect after choosing EMSCULPT.
Patients who want to contour their forehead, cheeks, or neck in the same way as their body can choose EMFACE, which uses the same combination of energies to sculpt facial tissues. Lax skin may also be treated with Ultherapy, which uses ultrasound energy to prompt collagen production in fibroblasts, or Exion RF microneedling, which pairs radiofrequency energy with the creation of numerous microchannels in the skin.
