How Long Does EMSCULPT Take?

September 22, 2023 by wpengine

EMSCULPT NEO is an FDA-approved, non-invasive body sculpting treatment offered at Nuance Cosmetic Surgery in Folsom, CA. It is designed to enhance your natural beauty by facilitating the removal of excess subcutaneous fat while improving your muscle tone. If you’re in the Sacramento, CA area and interested in enhancing your physique quickly, safely, and effectively, keep reading to learn more about this proven body contouring treatment.

How Long Does EMSCULPT Take?

You can expect your EMSCULPT NEO session to take approximately 30 minutes to complete. However, you should be aware that the length of your treatment may vary based on several factors, including the number of areas you are treating and the severity of your cosmetic concerns. Your session will take longer if you are treating multiple large areas or if there is a lot of improvement to be made.

How Long Does This Treatment Take To Work?

This treatment starts working immediately, but it may be around four months before you can enjoy your optimal results. The average person needs four treatment sessions per area of concern to achieve the improvement in muscle definition and fat reduction they are looking for. These sessions are usually scheduled five to 10 days apart, and results are usually enjoyed three months after the last session.

What Can I Do To See My Desired Results Faster?

To see your EMSCULPT NEO results as quickly as possible, you must do what you can to support your lymphatic system. For instance, you should drink plenty of water and tea to help your body flush out the fat cells melted to death during treatment. Drinking enough water is also important for muscle recovery and development. Exercising regularly is another effective step you can take to speed along your final results. You should aim to get at least half an hour of cardio on most days to support your lymphatic system. At the same time, you should make room in your weekly calendar for anaerobic exercise. This will help with muscle growth. Other effective steps you can take to see faster results include:

  • Maintaining a stable weight
  • Limiting the intake of unhealthy foods
  • Avoiding alcohol consumption
  • Eating nutritiously
  • Sleeping soundly

Am I a Good Candidate for This Treatment?

You need to attend an initial consultation to confirm that EMSCULPT NEO sessions are appropriate for you. However, you can generally expect to be considered a good candidate for this treatment if you are at or near your optimal body weight. The less excess fat you have in your areas of concern, the sooner you will be able to see the muscle tone and beautiful contours you desire. Additionally, you should be able to follow all preparation and aftercare guidelines to be considered a good candidate for this treatment. Furthermore, you should have realistic expectations about the treatment process and results. Furthermore, it is imperative that you are free from contraindications, including pregnancy and metal implants in the targeted areas.

How Should I Prepare for My Treatment Session?

One of the most important rules to follow to ensure your treatment goes smoothly is to wear comfortable clothes that are free from metal. For instance, you should not wear jeans with ​metal zippers or buttons. Additionally, you should not eat a ​heavy meal before your treatment or drink a lot of caffeine.

How Long Can I Expect My Results To Last?

You can confidently expect your desired results to last for at least six months. This treatment results in your body eliminating some of the subcutaneous fat cells in the treated areas, and your body can’t grow new fat cells, so there will be a permanent reduction in localized fat cells. However, if you consume more calories than your body needs for weight maintenance, the remaining fat cells in the area may expand to store the excess energy.

What Can I Do To Enjoy My Desired Results for As Long as Possible?

To enjoy your desired results for as long as you can, there are several things you should do. To maintain the improvements made to your treated muscles, you should exercise them regularly. For example, you may want to do weighted squats and lunges two to three times weekly if your buttocks were treated. If you had your abdomen treated, it would be advisable to do core exercises several times weekly. To continue enjoying the slim contours achieved due to the fat-reduction effects of this treatment, you should rarely consume more calories than your body expends. Consistent moderation will go a long way in keeping your body tight. Everyone’s body stores weight differently, but you may start to notice your optimal results fading if you put on over 10 pounds of fat after your final treatment.

What Aftercare Guidelines Will I Need To Follow?

While there is no downtime required after this non-invasive body sculpting treatment, there are a few rules you need to follow to ensure you enjoy the best experience. For example, you should not overexert the muscles in the targeted treatment areas. If your calves or buttocks are treated, you can still walk. However, you should ​not do weighted toe raises, lunges, ​or squats. It ​is also very important that ​you eat nutritiously and stay hydrated in the days following ​each treatment session. During your treatment, the targeted muscles contract 20,000 times. This will result in fatigued muscles regardless of how fit you are. To ​help your muscles recover from treatment as quickly as possible, ​drink a gallon of water and eat foods that are high in magnesium, a micronutrient known for its muscle relaxant properties.
