How Quickly Does EmSculpt Work?

So you’ve been working out and eating right, but you are not seeing results as quickly as you’d like? If that sounds familiar, don’t worry because there’s a revolutionary treatment that can help push the process along. EmSculpt, offered at Allure Laser & Med Spa in Tinley Park, IL, can slim down problem spots and build muscle tone, giving you the sleek, lean physique you’ve been working for. Patients love the speed with which this non-invasive body-shaping treatment delivers results.

How Quickly Does EmSculpt Work?

This treatment system often involves four sessions, with results developing within two to four weeks after the final appointment. Compared to all of the hours you’re probably spending in the gym, that is amazingly fast. And best of all, your results will be noticeable. Patients see an average fat reduction of 19 percent and an average increase in muscle mass of 16 percent. Your clothes will fit better, and you’ll look and feel terrific.

How Long Will My Results Last?

This treatment system can get you in shape pretty quickly, but it will be up to you to maintain your results. The good news is that EmSculpt results are highly motivating. Once you’ve slimmed down and toned up with the help of this treatment system, you’ll feel great and will be eager to keep moving and stay in shape.

Some individuals who have undergone these sessions have maintained their results for years. Other patients find that scheduling maintenance treatments every few months helps to preserve their results.

How Does This Treatment Work?

This treatment uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy to trigger muscle contractions that are just like the ones your body undergoes when exercising, only stronger and more effective! Imagine the results you would get from an extremely intense workout that involved doing as many as 20,000 squats or lunges. This treatment offers that kind of result!

During your treatment, we’ll position the EmSculpt device over the part of the body you want to be targeted and gently strap it in place. It’s a good idea to wear loose, comfortable clothing. While you recline, the device will get to work, directing the electromagnetic energy that will trigger those contractions. You might sense vibrations as your muscles contract, and you may experience a tugging sensation, but you won’t experience any discomfort.

How Will I Feel After Treatment?

The non-invasive nature of this treatment means you’ll be able to get right back to your regular schedule without the need for any downtime. You’ll feel a lot like you would after an intense workout. Your muscles may be tired, and you may experience soreness the next day. But none of this will keep you from your normal activities.

What Problem Spots Does This Treatment Target?

Because of this treatment’s ability to tone the muscles, it is a great option for the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, and other muscular body parts. It can also be used to shape up the arms and calves.

Will I Lose Much Weight?

The big advantage associated with this treatment is its ability to reshape the body by slimming down areas of unwanted fullness and developing muscle tone. You probably won’t lose more than a couple of pounds, but your physique will be slimmer, more toned, and more youthful in appearance.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

You’re Already in Pretty Good Shape

The ideal EmSculpt candidate is already adhering to a fairly active, healthy lifestyle, but still needs a little help achieving the body they’ve been working towards. The perfect candidate is pretty close to his or her goal weight, but is struggling with stubborn areas and needs help taking their body to the next level. Some male patients are able to develop six-pack abs for the first time in their life. Others use this treatment as a non-surgical butt lift.

You Desire a Non-Surgical Approach

Some more invasive body sculpting approaches involve anesthesia, needles, and incisions. EmSculpt is completely non-surgical, which means there is no downtime. If you prefer a non-surgical approach, or if you are not a candidate for surgery, this treatment system may be the solution you’ve been looking for.

You Don’t Have Metal Implants

The non-invasive nature of this treatment means that just about anyone who is not pregnant can consider it. Having medical implants in the treatment area, however, can disqualify you as a candidate. So can having a pacemaker. During your initial consultation, we’ll review your medical history thoroughly and determine if you are well-suited for this system.

What Advantages Are Associated With This Treatment?

It Builds Muscle

There are other non-invasive body shaping treatment systems, including CoolSculpting, which our practice offers. What sets EmSculpt apart is its ability to develop muscle tone. Other treatment systems can effectively slim down areas of unwanted fat, but EmSculpt is the only one that also builds muscles.

That makes this treatment ideal for those who are seeking a cut, fit, muscular appearance. The strong muscles this treatment system develops are also helpful when it comes to preventing injuries.

It Reduces Visceral Fat

This treatment system is also unique because of its ability to hone in on visceral fat, which is the fat that develops deep inside the belly around the abdominal organs. This type of fat has been associated with heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and other health conditions. Most other body-shaping treatments target superficial fat, which is the fat that lies just under the skin.  

It Precisely Targets Problem Spots

Even when you’re eating healthfully, exercising, and doing just about everything right, it can sometimes be difficult to control where the fat comes off and where muscles develop. You may find that you are slimming down and building muscle tone overall, but not in the areas of the body you are most concerned with. This treatment can focus in on the problem spots you most want to address.

It’s Convenient

For most patients, a short series of EmSculpt treatments in our office is all it takes to achieve the physique they’ve been after. This treatment series can easily be worked into your schedule, and you won’t have to take time off or set aside much time for recovery. Getting into the best shape of your life has never been easier.

It’s Fast

This treatment system is an excellent choice for patients who are finally ready to see results. If you’re tired of waiting for your body to respond to diet and exercise, maybe it’s time you try this body-shaping treatment. You’ll see the results you’ve been hoping for without a long wait period.

It’ll Help You Look and Feel Terrific

Have you been struggling to achieve your cosmetic goals for a while? For a variety of reasons, some parts of the body are particularly difficult to shape up. This amazing treatment system can help you nail those cosmetic goals, giving you a body you can be proud of. Once you’ve undergone these treatments, you’ll look and feel amazing.

Treatment Q&A

Can This Be Combined With Other Treatments?

Yes, this amazing body-shaping treatment can be combined with other cosmetic services. Laser hair removal treatments are frequently combined with EmSculpt. Our patients also often incorporate facial treatments like dermal fillers and botulinum toxin injections into their treatment plans. Tell us what your cosmetic concerns are, and we’ll design a plan just for you!

Is This Treatment Suitable for Male Patients?

This treatment is highly effective for both male and female patients. As they work on improving their bodies, men are often particularly drawn to the muscle-enhancing aspect of this treatment.

Can This Help With Love Handles?

Yes, this treatment is particularly effective on the love handles and other aspects of the body’s core. Love handles are frustrating and they can be difficult to target with diet and exercise, making this treatment system a great solution.

Will This Get Rid of Cellulite?

While this treatment system is proven to reduce unwanted fat, it is not considered a solution for cellulite.

Are These Treatments Covered by Insurance?

Because of the cosmetic nature of this treatment system, it is not covered by most health insurance plans.

Are You Ready To Shape Up Your Body?

Finally achieving your cosmetic goals and getting your body in shape feels amazing. This treatment system makes it easy to say goodbye to fat and build muscle. Why wait to get started? Call Allure Laser & Med Spa in Tinley Park, IL, and schedule your initial consultation today!
