Looking for Abdominal Muscles During Quarantine?

3 Minute Read: 

Right now, many gyms and other health clubs are still seeing reduced hours or closures due to the pandemic. This has resulted in a “Quarantine 15” for many men and women. 

It isn’t easy to achieve and maintain a trim and sculpted physique right now. There’s extra stress, less opportunity to participate in social activities and sports, and a desire to stay at home, binge-watching shows while binge-eating snacks.

All of this has led to an increased interest in body contouring treatments, from non-surgical treatments to surgical body sculpting

One of the most enticing procedures right now is Emsculpt®, a non-surgical body enhancement technique that builds muscles and trims fat.

Want a Six-Pack Without Crunches or Planks?

Obtaining abdominal muscles at the gym is challenging, if not downright impossible. 

If you are looking to build abdominal definition, improve your core strength, and enhance your shirtless appearance, then Emsculpt® can help you achieve those goals!

Emsculpt® is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive body contouring technique that stimulates powerful muscle contractions that create abdominal tone by strengthening core muscles. During a 30-minute Emsculpt® treatment, your body can produce the same number of contractions caused by doing 20,000 crunches or 20,000 squats. 

Except, with Emsculpt®, you get to lie comfortably instead of breaking a sweat.  

Is Emsculpt® Only for the Abdomen?

While many men and women interested in Emsculpt® want to target their midsection, the abs are not the only available treatment area. Emsculpt® is also cleared to strengthen, tone, and firm the buttocks.

How Does Emsculpt® Technology Work?

You may be wondering how you can build muscle without putting in the work. It seems too good to be true, right? Actually, it’s not. Emsculpt® results are very real and in your grasp. 

Emsculpt® technology relies on HIFEM (high-intensity focused electromagnetic) energy. This highly focused energy targets the muscles and forces them to contact and contract a lot. 

Research shows that during one 30-minute treatment, HIFEM technology creates 20,000 supramaximal muscle contractions. These contractions force the muscle tissue to adapt and remodel its inner structure. When that happens, muscle development follows.

Does Emsculpt® Hurt?

Even though Emsculpt® forces powerful muscle contractions, the process is not necessarily painful. Most Emsculpt® patients liken the experience to a “tough workout the day before.” Your muscles may feel a bit tired and worked, but as anyone who has ever worked out before knows, it is a “good” hurt.

Additionally, the Emsculpt® machine has a lactic acid flush that helps eliminate excessive soreness following treatment.

What Do Emsculpt® Results Say?

Emsculpt® offers more than just smoke and mirrors. Studies have shown that a series of Emsculpt® treatments can result in a 16 percent increase in muscle tone and a 19 percent decrease in fat cells in the treatment area. 

Most patients are recommended to undergo six treatments (twice a week for three weeks). While these results usually last up to a year, many Emsculpt® patients choose to return for touch-up sessions every six months. 

Result longevity will fluctuate depending on your activity level and diet.

Those interested in additional body contouring can benefit from complementary technologies such as CoolSculpting® to freeze unwanted fat cells throughout the body.
