30 Nov Emsculpt Fixes Your Gym Fails
Forget muscle implants or slaving away at the gym for hours. Everyone wants toned muscles and you can get them with Emsculpt. It’s one of the most requested treatments at Parson Skin Center because it’s completely non-invasive, it boosts surgical results (such as a tummy tuck), and it really works. Emsculpt is based on science, not wishes and dreams, and ultimately the results speak for themselves. Here’s how it works.
There’s actually no such thing as toning muscles. Toned muscles are typically muscles that are strong and enlarged (technically known as hypertrophy) and can be seen because there’s little fat on top of them. In other words, you need to increase muscle size and make sure you don’t have much fat in areas where you want to show off these muscles. Emsculpt helps you achieve both by simultaneously building muscle mass and reducing targeted fat.
The Emsculpt Difference
We “grow” muscles by creating tiny tears in the muscle fibers. Traditionally, this was done by strength training exercises like lifting weights. However, that takes a lot of work, time, and money—it’s expensive because you need to “feed” the muscles right in order to help them repair those tears. That’s why you see bodybuilders spending sometimes hundreds of dollars on the highest-quality proteins and supplements.
It’s also really easy to make mistakes in the gym and overexert yourself. One wrong move can lead to a muscle strain that takes you out of commission for weeks. A strain is a more severe tear than those tiny tears that encourage muscle growth. You could also spend hours in the gym each day unaware of the exact moves necessary to achieve the look you want. Talk about wasted time.
Your body is pretty smart, but when it comes to your muscles they don’t care whether you create micro-tears from lifting weights or via Emsculpt. The muscles react the exact same way. Emsculpt makes muscles contract 20,000 times in just 30 minutes per site. To your muscles, that’s identical to performing 20,000 bicep curls, crunches, lunges, or whatever move you typically do to target muscles for growth. Well, it’s almost identical. With Emsculpt, you can target only the muscles you want to grow. This means you don’t have to worry about other muscles picking up the slack. Want a rounder booty but don’t want your thighs any bigger? You can get that with Emsculpt, but you can’t with any other approach.
Experience Emsculpt
Of course, targeting muscles and being able to undergo 20,000 supramaximal contractions in half an hour is just part of the Emsculpt perks. Emsculpt also doesn’t require you to actually, consciously do anything. You can scroll through social media, answer emails, watch a show, or do almost anything else during your 30-minute session. Emsculpt can feel a little odd the first time since your muscles are working, but it’s not painful and you won’t break a sweat.
You will have to still feed those muscles, though, but don’t worry. Unlike fitness models, you just need to feed muscles once after Emsculpt—not on a daily basis. Make sure you bring at least 20 grams of high-quality protein with you along with any supplements (like BCAA to help reduce soreness) to enjoy after your session.
Results aren’t immediate, and that’s a good thing. Remember, to your body Emsculpt is just like a workout (albeit a hardcore one that you couldn’t really do on your own!). It takes time for muscles to repair and grow, just like it takes some time for the targeted fat to reduce. You’ll start seeing real results within 4 – 8 weeks after your session. Most clients have 4 – 6 initial sessions followed by bi-annual maintenance sessions.
Avoid Unnecessary Gym Time
Emsculpt doesn’t totally take the place of working out. It enhances it and helps you bust through plateaus and finally achieve the look you’ve been working towards. It’s best for those at or near goal weight who simply want some help targeting muscles and getting to the next level. Remember, no matter how muscular you are, you need a low body fat to showcase those muscles. Emsculpt helps with fat reduction, but you might want to pair it with Venus Freeze or liposuction, too.
