Emsculpt NEO & Classic
Classic
EMSCULPT tones and strengthens abdominal and gluteal muscles effortlessly and pain free by using high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology, similar to a TENS unit on steroids. It induces “supra-maximal” contractions, which cannot be obtained through typical exercise (engaging up to 98% of the muscle fibers in contraction) while also bypassing the brain and spinal cord to stimulate the motor neuron directly in the muscle. These contractions force the muscle tissues to adapt to such extreme conditions causing a deep remodeling of the inner structure; a growth of myofibrils (muscle hypertrophy) and creation of new protein strands and muscle fibers (muscle hyperplasia). This results in increased muscle density and volume. Fat is secondarily burned and destroyed as a beneficial side effect.A 30-minute treatment is equivalent to performing 20,000 crunches or squats. You may experience some muscle soreness for 24-48 hours. A typical treatment is for 30 minutes with a recommended 4 sessions scheduled over 2 weeks. Results are usually seen within 2-4 weeks and you can expect to have continued improvement over a six month period.There were 7 different clinical studies conducted in the United States using the EMSCULPT to confirm fat loss and muscle tightening. Before and after CT scans, MRIs, and Ultrasounds were taken in the study groups which all corroborated the results. 1 month results showed that muscle mass increased consistently by 16%, the average abdominal fat loss was 19%, and waist circumference decreased by 4.4 cm (1.7 in). No risks were identified in these studies. The most recent data showed 6 month results were even better – 18% increase in muscle mass and 23% fat reduction.Ideal candidates are individuals with a BMI 30 or below. To see muscle improvements, the fat layer can’t be too thick (less than an inch of pinchable fat). However, the HIFEM waves do penetrate up to 7 cms. Patients with larger fat deposits might require CoolSculpting for reduction prior to receiving the EMSCULPT procedure.NEO
EMSCULPT NEO is the first and only non-invasive body shaping procedure that provides simultaneous fat elimination and muscle building in a combined 30-minute session.
EMSCULPT NEO builds off the legacy of its predecessor, EMSCULPT Classic, by simultaneously emitting both radio frequency and high intensity electromagnetic energies to combine the best of both worlds.
The end result is more fat reduction and muscle growth, (30% fat reduction and 25% muscle gain) . There are applicators for inner thigh, flank/love handles, abdomen, glutes, calves and arms.
Best of all, EMSCULPT NEO has broad appeal as it can treat patients up to BMI 35!
TruBody (a combination of Trusculpt iD and Trusculpt Flex average of 24% fat reduction and up to 30 % muscle gain)
TruSculpt® ID
U.S. BODYCONTOUR is proud to offer truSculpt iD! The noninvasive fat-reducing treatment by Cutera uses a unique technology to reduce fat on a broad range of body types. More women and men are gravitating toward the noninvasive fat-reducing procedures like truSculpt iD because it’s fast, easy, and has no visible downtime. If you’re tired of stubborn fat holding you back, then truSculpt iD is perfect for you!truSculpt iD uses six hand pieces to treat multiple areas at once. The radio-frequency energy from the hand pieces heat pockets of excess fat cells until they’re damaged. Over the next few weeks (2-3months) after your treatment, your body naturally flushes these damaged cells away using natural lymphatic processes. The heat from the radio-frequency can also provide some skin tightening benefits to improve the appearance of cellulite. Cutera reports that an average of 24 percent fat reduction is achieved in just one treatment! With truSculpt iD, multiple areas can be treated in as little as one 15-minute session, and you may wish to have additional treatments to achieve the results you desire.Trusculpt ID is especially well suited for neck treatments or hard to treat areas with a special hand piece that can be placed at 3 spots for 5 min each. Then clients return at one month intervals for the next two treatments for a full neck treatment (same as above just broken into 3 sessions).TruSculpt® flex
TruSculpt flex is a personalized muscle sculpting treatment that adjusts to your fitness level, shape, and goals to strengthen, firm, and tone your muscles. We utilize this machine for rehabilitation of athletes (ie back, knee), non-weight-bearing strength maintenance, to treat sarcopenia (muscle loss) and to maintain / increase core strength for better fitness and balance, and less back pain.The non-invasive muscle stimulation treatment gives you that extra edge to strengthen, firm, and tone your body. Your provider will customize placement of up to 16 electrodes targeting multiple small and large muscle groups. The premier TruSculpt Flex is clinically proven to tone or build muscles increasing muscle bulk up to 30% in as little as 15 minutes providing approximately 54,200 contractions in 3 modes. 1. prep mode – stretching /pilates, 2. tone mode – endurance training or 3. sculpt mode which mimics high intensity interval training. Recent studies show 4-5 flex treatments are the equivalent of a 10-12 week high intensity interval training course.
