A healthy body is a beautiful body. That said, maintaining your ideal appearance can be difficult. If you struggle with unwanted pockets of fat or stubborn cellulite, then you may need some outside assistance.
At Mid-Florida Age Management, we offer different treatments to help you feel confident in your appearance—but we want you to feel better, too. So if you want to burn unwanted fat for a slimmer appearance, build core strength to help with mobility, or rebuild lost muscle, read our new blog to learn about our options for body sculpting in Ocala.
What is body sculpting?
While the definition may change slightly depending on who you ask, we’d describe body sculpting as a non-surgical aesthetic treatment designed to change the body’s appearance. A body contouring treatment may tighten skin, tone muscles, or eliminate unwanted pockets of fat.
You can find plenty of treatments that allow you to remove unwanted fat, but many of those require invasive surgery. We don’t believe you should need to suffer to see the aesthetic results you deserve. Body sculpting makes enhancing your body’s appearance simpler than ever.
Body sculpting doesn’t just improve your physical form; it can improve your body’s function too. Many patients use our treatments to rebuild muscle mass and help with mobility and strength.
So how does a body contouring treatment do all of this—simultaneously build muscle and burn fat?
The Power of Emsculpt NEO
The first device we’ll discuss for body sculpting in Ocala is Emsculpt NEO. Emsculpt NEO uses a combination of 2 energies to burn fat and build muscle for enhanced mobility and a more youthful appearance.
The Emsculpt NEO device uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy (HIFEM) to stimulate muscle contractions in the same way that an ab workout might. However, Emsculpt NEO creates much more intense contractions at a much higher rate. A single Emsculpt NEO session can provide the equivalent of several thousand crunches, all in just 30 minutes.
Emsculpt NEO also treats the body with radiofrequency (RF) energy. This energy heats and disrupts unwanted fat cells, allowing the body to flush them away. As an added benefit, Emsculpt NEO may also tighten skin.
What to Expect From Emsculpt NEO
Before you come in for your Emsculpt NEO session, drink a lot of water. Hydrated skin responds better to the treatment.
A standard Emsculpt NEO treatment session, a simple process, lasts about 30 minutes. Once you check in, our providers escort you back to an exam room and get you seated on a comfortable treatment table.
We will then apply the Emsculpt NEO;s specialized paddles to the treatment area. These paddles will stimulate skin with specialized energies to improve skin quality. The exact length of your treatment may vary slightly depending on your goals and how many areas you want to treat.
After the Emsculpt NEO procedure ends, you can return to your day with minimal amendments to your schedule.
A Painless Process
One advantage of the Emsculpt NEO procedure is that it’s completely painless. You will feel the device as it stimulates the muscles and heats up stubborn fat cells, but it shouldn’t cause irritation or discomfort.
Many patients describe the muscle contractions as a pronounced “tightening” sensation. The RF energy simply warms the treatment area. And because patients just sit back while the provider applies the treatment, many find the whole Emsculpt NEO process very soothing.
We want the self-improvement process at Mid-Florida Age Management to feel as positive as possible. With Emsculpt NEO, you can burn fat and tone muscles with no discomfort.
Recovering After Emsculpt NEO
Following your treatment for body sculpting in Ocala, you won’t need to upend your daily schedule to recover.
We always recommend patients stay hydrated, and hydration makes a big difference in the days immediately before after your Emsculpt NEO session. Drinking enough water means your muscles can rebuild effectively, and it helps your body flush out the dead fat cells. You should also avoid any strenuous exercise, but you can continue low-intensity workouts, like walking. It’s always good to keep the blood flowing after a procedure.
And if you want to enjoy your results for as long as possible, then pay careful attention to your diet. Emsculpt NEO can burn specific pockets of fat, but you shouldn’t try to use it as a weight loss treatment. A healthy diet can support your fat removal results so you can feel confident for longer.
Multiple Treatments, Best Results
Most patients need multiple treatments with Emsculpt NEO to see the most pronounced results. The specific number of treatments can vary based on your treatment goals, but usually, we recommend 4 or more treatments.
You can begin noticing serious results in the few weeks following your last session. These results continue to improve over the 90 days after your last session as the body builds muscle and flushes old fat cells. Many patients enjoy their Emsculpt NEO results for a year. If you want to prolong or enhance your results, then just contact your provider about a maintenance treatment.
Enhanced Tone With Emtone
We also offer Emtone for body sculpting in Ocala. Whereas the Emsculpt NEO device burns unwanted fat and builds muscle, the Emtone effectively reduces the presence of cellulite.
Cellulite is a common condition, especially in women, that results in a dimpled, bumpy skin texture. If you want smoother, more youthful skin, Emtone can provide results. We may also recommend the Emtone treatment to help tighten loose skin.
Treatment With Emtone
During your Emtone session, your provider will use a handheld applicator to provide heat and pressure to the treatment area. Each applicator uses radiofrequency and targeted pressure to stimulate lymphatic drainage for improved circulation. Radiofrequency also increases the production of collagen and elastin, important natural proteins.
Collagen helps the body rebuild tissue or skin in the event of an injury, so when we use the Emtone to induce new production, it can rejuvenate the skin in the treatment area.
This means that the Emtone not only tightens skin and tones features, it also reduces the appearance of cellulite. Cellulite stems from rigid skin, so when collagen and elastin improve the skin’s elasticity, the cellulite disappears.
Recovering After Emtone
In the days following your Emtone treatment, we recommend every patient make some adjustments to support their results.
To start, patients should avoid extremely warm environments. This includes hot tubs, bathtubs, and saunas. If you want to clean your skin after your treatment session, also refrain from using any harsh exfoliants, as this can irritate the skin. Instead, use gentle cleansers that won’t negatively affect your skin texture.
You should also softly massage the treatment area as you recover to keep the blood circulating. These simple steps help you get the most out of your treatment for body sculpting in Ocala.
Your Treatment Schedule
As with the Emsculpt NEO procedure, the specifics of your Emtone treatment may change based on your goals and prior condition. On average, patients only need to spend 20 to 30 minutes at each Emtone treatment session, meaning you could even complete a treatment over your lunch break from work.
Most patients need anywhere from 4 to 6 treatments to achieve their desired results, but that number, too, changes based on your skin’s response to the treatment.
One of the best parts of the Emtone treatment is that it can offer permanent results if you maintain a healthy lifestyle following your treatment. So if you want to eliminate cellulite for good, you need this treatment.
