It’s no secret that fat reduction, body shaping, and other cosmetic procedures have grown in popularity over recent years. If you’re looking to tone up and make a change in your life, Tamjidi Skin Institute is here to help. We offer fat reduction using the EMSCULPT procedure, which helps people achieve their body goals without the need for invasive surgery or downtime that comes with other procedures, such as liposuction. We’ve provided five important things to know about EMSCULPT to determine whether it’s right for you. Learn more and contact us in Tysons Corner or Chevy Chase today!
What Is EMSCULPT?
EMSCULPT is a highly effective, FDA-approved, non-invasive procedure that is designed to build and strengthen muscle while improving tone in areas such as the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, and arms. A 30-minute session of EMSCULPT is equivalent to approximately 20,000 squats or sit-ups, and can help both men and women achieve their body goals.
How Does It Work?
EMSCUPLT works by using High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to induce supramaximal muscle contractions at a much stronger and faster rate than can be achieved through regular exercise. These vigorous contractions then trigger metabolic change in the overlying fat, leading to a destruction of some of these cells. We recommend four 30-minute treatments to be performed at least two days apart for best results.
What Does It Feel Like?
This procedure feels like an intense workout that may lead to a prickling sensation. Because it is non-invasive, it requires no downtime or pre/post treatment preparation.
How Soon Will I See Results and How Long Does They Last?
After treatment, you should begin to see increased muscle mass at about two to four weeks after you’ve completed the four-treatment series. Full results should present themselves at about three months, and improved muscle tone should last a total of six months. If you exercise regularly, you can expect results to last longer.
Am I a Good Candidate for EMSCULPT?
Most patients are good candidates for this treatment. However, if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a pacemaker, or are taking medication that could interact with the EMSCULPT procedure, you may not be a candidate. Please consult with your doctor before scheduling an appointment.
