26 Jun CultureMap Names Emsculpt One of the Top Three Non-invasive Treatments You Can Get
Did you know “getting in shape” is one of the most popular New Year’s resolutions—and one of the quickest and easiest to ditch? If you’ve found yourself suddenly in swimsuit season but not in the shape you’d prefer, Emsculpt is available at Parson Skin Center. CultureMap just named it one of the top three non-invasive treatments of the year, and with good reason. Emsculpt tones and strengthens your muscles in a series of sessions without you having to do a thing (except show up to your appointment, of course). Plus, the science is based on how we build muscle in the gym. It’s a celebrity favorite but available to everyone, and the perfect time to start is right now.
It’s not too late to look and feel your best this summer. Emsculpt can target virtually any body muscle that you would like to tone and show off. During your session, the chosen muscles are externally targeted and forced into 20,000 supramaximal contractions in just 30 minutes. You can also combine appointments, for example targeting the buttocks followed by the abs. These contractions are exactly what you achieve at the gym when performing squats, crunches, and other such moves. Muscles respond to these contractions because they cause micro-tears in the muscle fibers (these are the good kinds of tears). Following these contractions, the body gets to work repairing the tears with a kind of scar tissue. This tissue is what makes muscles bigger, stronger, and “more toned.” But here’s the deal: your body doesn’t care (or know) if these contractions come from manual labor, exercised at the gym—or Emsculpt.
Building Muscles Right
Most people require 4 – 6 initial Emsculpt sessions spaced a few weeks apart. You need to give the muscles time to recover, just like when you go to the gym. It’s also important to maintain a healthy diet and exercise routine throughout (and after) Emsculpt sessions. You may want to skip weight training for a couple of days after Emsculpt, but otherwise it does not interfere with your workout routines at all. It’s fast, easy, totally non-invasive, and requires no downtime. However, you may (understandably) be sore in the days following the Emsculpt session. You can stave this off by sipping on BCAA-infused water before, during, and after your treatment and feeding your muscles protein right after the treatment.
Emsculpt works best, aesthetically, for those at or near goal weight. Muscles need a lean body in order to be the most visible. However, you can also use Emsculpt to set a good foundation for a weight-loss journey and new gym routine. Maintenance sessions every six months are recommended to sustain results. Whether you’re interested in strengthening and improving your stomach, buttocks, back, arms, or legs aesthetics, Emsculpt can help you achieve your goals faster.
The Benefits of Emsculpt
Many clients are strictly interested in Emsculpt because they want to look better in their swimsuits. However, having strong muscles is important for overall quality of life, especially as we get older. Sarcopenia, or age-related muscle loss, begins as early as your twenties. It gets tougher and tougher to build and keep muscles with every decade, but Emsculpt can help with this. It isn’t a replacement for working out and strength training, but it can be a great complement to it.
Emsculpt can also really target muscles, which isn’t possible any other way. When you work out with weights, you’re depending in part on assister muscles. For example, you can’t do a lunge and focus on growing your glutes without also contracting your thigh muscles. For those who want to hyper-focus on key muscles and not “accidentally” grow the assister muscles, Emsculpt is an excellent solution.
Since sessions take just 30 minutes, Emsculpt is a great choice for a lunchtime treatment (and you can always tell your colleagues you’re going for a “workout,” because it’s technically true!). There’s just no sweat, no need to change into gym clothes, and no effort on your part. To find out more about Emsculpt or to schedule your consultation or appointment, get in touch today.
