5 Ways to Love Your Body with Body Contouring
So, you’ve caught wind of this new buzzword: body contouring. People are lauding these treatments as life changing. And look at their results! A slimmer figure, more muscle tone—one of those long-coveted celebrity secrets to aging well. Could it work for you?
When people ask us about body contouring in Oxford, one of the first questions we usually hear is about candidacy. Could body contouring work for me? At Revive Wellness Clinic, all of our treatments start with a conversation. What do you want to achieve with body contouring? What can body contouring do for you?
We get a lot of clients who are curious about body contouring but not sure if it’s right for them. This inspired us to put this guide together with the top 5 reasons our clients invest in our body contouring treatments and the results they are able to achieve.
1. Rebuild Muscle Mass After Weight Loss
At first glance, body contouring in Oxford can sound like a great way to lose weight. However, body contouring is not a weight loss solution. When you start a body contouring treatment, you need to be at or near your ideal body weight.
However, body contouring is a very popular treatment for those who have just gone through weight loss, especially if that weight loss was rapid, as it is with medical weight loss treatments. When you shed a lot of weight over a short period of time, many people end up losing muscle mass as well. In addition to a loss in strength, many people find themselves bothered by skin laxity and uneven skin texture after weight loss.
There are several body contouring treatments that treat skin texture and skin laxity. However, there is only one body contouring treatment that resolves these problems by helping you build muscle mass.
Emsculpt NEO uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to induce muscle contractions in 10 possible treatment areas. In one 30-minute session, Emsculpt NEO initiates 20,000 muscle contractions.
Think about it this way—no matter how good a day you have at the gym, it’s never going to be 20,000 crunches good! Think beyond just how good this would be for your abs—that same intense workout can be done on your arms, your calves, and even your love handles. Emsculpt NEO is able to reach even the areas that are particularly difficult to target with exercise.
2. Restore Your Figure Post-Menopause
Menopause can cause a lot of physical and mental changes. During menopause, the levels of hormones such as estrogen and progesterone decrease rapidly. Even testosterone levels are impacted.
These changes in hormonal levels can impact your weight and weight distribution. If you have gone through menopause, you may have noticed that your metabolism has slowed. You’re eating the same food, you’re still exercising, but now you’re gaining weight in places you never have before. The hormones will do that to you!
So, how do you get rid of those pesky pockets of fat? Is there a solution that can keep you looking fit? Can you hold on to your figure? Body contouring in Oxford can certainly help.
Our Emsculpt NEO treatment not only contours by building muscle mass, but it is also able to reduce fat. In addition to the HIFEM technology that induces muscle contractions, Emsculpt NEO employs radiofrequency, as well.
The heat from the radiofrequency is able to reach deep into the skin and break down fat molecules. The body’s processes then flush out these damaged cells naturally. Emsculpt NEO addresses those parts of the body where it is normally very difficult to get rid of fat, like the thighs, glutes, and abdominal area.
3. Improve Your Fitness Level
Another reason people choose to start body contouring in Oxford is to improve their fitness level. Excess fat and low muscle mass can make it difficult to exercise, much less use exercise to improve these areas.
The feedback we hear the most from clients who use Emsculpt NEO is how much better it makes them feel on a global level. They feel stronger, their posture improves, they can stand up for longer without having back pain.
Excess fat can make mobility difficult or, at the very least, awkward. Poor muscle strength limits the intensity, regularity, and duration of the exercise you are able to commit to.
There are several body contouring treatments that can help reduce fat and tone muscle. However, there is only one body contouring treatment that can actually help you build muscle. Emsculpt NEO doesn’t just give your muscles aesthetic definition, it builds muscle you can actually use.
With improved muscle strength, your workouts not only become easier, they become more effective. The muscle you build with Emsulpt NEO can only help you become stronger.
4. Save Time
Toning your body with a workout is not only difficult, it’s time consuming. The CDC has found that in order to maintain your weight, the average adult needs 150 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise every week. If you actually want to strengthen your muscles or lose fat, this requires a lot more intense exercise.
Each session of an Emsculpt NEO treatment takes just 30 minutes. In this time, you are not only losing fat, but building muscle with 20,000 muscle contractions each session. The average person can do about 20 to 30 crunches in a minute. With Emsculpt NEO, you can get the equivalent of more than 600 crunches per minute.
It can take months of rigorous exercise to notice a functional difference in your muscle strength and years to notice an appreciable difference in visible muscle tone. With a couple Emsculpt NEO treatments, you can notice results within weeks.
5. Feel Like Yourself Again
For many of our clients, changes in their bodies have had a long-lasting and negative impact on the way they feel about themselves and how they live their lives. How our bodies look and how we feel about them impacts the clothes we wear, the activities we enjoy, the relationship we have with ourselves, and our relationships with other people.
Age is one of the things that causes significant changes in our bodies. Our metabolism slows, we gain weight more easily, and somehow that weight builds up in the most unflattering areas. Many people choose body contouring in Oxford as a noninvasive, easy, and effective way to regain a body shape that makes them feel comfortable and confident.
Another concern we often hear from clients is a decrease in sexual pleasure and sexual function. We often pair Emsella with Emsculpt NEO to help strengthen the pelvic floor. This device treats urinary incontinence and can improve sexual performance through a similar strengthening process.
There’s not a lot we can do about the inevitability of aging, but we do have control over how we embrace it. Body contouring treatments like Emsculpt NEO help our clients embrace what they love about their bodies and gain more control over the changes they undergo.
“When I decided to add Emsculpt NEO to our services at Revive Wellness, I quickly realized that the benefits are not always about ‘the perfect six-pack’ or ‘impressive biceps.’ While we certainly see this in our patients, what I have been excited about the most is the ability to improve function through muscle strengthening. We have had patients with chronic back issues, weakened abdominal muscles after pregnancy with hernias, and deconditioned muscles after weight loss treatment. From that standpoint we have helped people not only look better, but more importantly feel better and have a more active lifestyle that can hopefully have a long lasting impact on their health.”
