Reduce Resistant Fat and Build Muscle to Enhance Your Body Shape in Denver

Want less fat, more muscle, or to achieve both at the same time? Emsculpt Neo^® from Denver’s AboutSkin Dermatology and DermSurgery is the solution. Sculpting the body shape you’ve been dreaming of isn’t always simple, even if you’re constantly at the gym and watching what you eat. It can sometimes seem impossible to reduce stubborn subcutaneous fat that accumulates in certain areas because of genetics, hormones, aging, and other causes. Likewise, gaining muscle in specific areas can be challenging.

Since effective body contouring is about losing weight as well as increasing muscle mass in certain areas to create a more balanced frame and fit better in clothes, Emsculpt Neo® combines two techniques to simultaneously get rid of fat while boosting muscle growth in a single session. This non-invasive, non-surgical body shaping treatment is a newer, advanced version of the traditional Emsculpt procedure that improves on the original technology and results. It offers increased fat burning and muscle building in comparison to its predecessor.

How Does Emsculpt Neo^® Work?

Emsculpt Neo^® uses a combination of two types of synchronized energies to enhance muscles while burning fat. During a treatment session, non-invasive HIFEM (High-Intensity Focused Electro-Magnetic) technology is used to trigger supramaximal muscle contractions in a specific area. The number and intensity of contractions would be impossible with typical exercises.

The rapid impulses generated by Emsculpt Neo^® prevent the muscle fibers from having a relaxation phase. As a result, the muscles are forced to adapt to the major stress, encouraging increased growth of fibers and cells that make the muscles bigger and stronger.

The Emsculpt Neo^® device also gives off radiofrequency energy to prepare the muscles for contractions while causing damage to fat cells. The rapid muscle contractions also promote some fat burning in the surrounding tissue. Research suggests that Emsculpt Neo^® may reduce the volume of subcutaneous fat by as much as 30 percent while increasing muscle volume by 25 percent on average.

Which Areas of the Body Can Be Treated with Emsculpt Neo^®?

Emsculpt Neo^® is designed to be used on the abdomen, buttocks, arms, calves, and thighs.

What is the Emsculpt Neo^® Experience?

This is a simple and straightforward procedure, with patients lying down while the device is applied to the desired treatment area. Most patients will feel the strong muscle contractions along with an intense sensation that’s similar to what they might feel from a hot stone massage.

Each session lasts just 30 minutes, and the combination procedure saves time while being less expensive for patients than both procedures—muscle building and fat reduction—done separately on their own.

Who Would Be an Ideal Candidate for Emsculpt Neo^®?

Emsculpt Neo^® is helpful for many patients with a range of BMIs, up to 35, who want to lose some fat and gain more muscle. Note that while it’s designed to be a fat-reduction procedure, it is for cosmetic use and isn’t meant for overall weight loss. The goal is to increase definition and the visibility of muscles by making them more prominent while removing fat that would cover and hide them.

What Can You Expect from Emsculpt Neo^® Recovery and Results?

No recovery time is needed after Emsculpt Neo^®, meaning patients can return to their normal day-to-day activities as soon as they’d like.

Many body-contouring patients benefit best from four 30-minute Emsculpt Neo^® treatments spaced between five to 10 days apart. The effects of Emsculpt Neo^® appear gradually, with optimal contours developing within three months after the last session. The cleared-out fat can’t return because the cellular debris is flushed out of the body by metabolic processes. Patients are left more toned, defined, and confident after this quick, 30-minute body-sculpting treatment.

Are There Other Body Contouring Options Available in Denver?

In addition to Emsculpt Neo^®, we also offer a range of other contouring options, including injectable Kybella^® to reduce double chin fat and Ultherapy^® for tightening and lifting lax skin.
