Your Non-Invasive Body Toning Options

People interested in body toning treatments have a variety of options at our Los Gatos practice. Emsculpt is the original revolutionary body toning technology, ideal for building muscle in the abs, booty, thighs, arms, and calves. The latest addition to the Emsculpt family, Emsculpt NEO builds off the legacy of its predecessor. It simultaneously emits both radio frequency and high-intensity electromagnetic energy to build muscles and blast fat at the same time. Accufit uses electrical muscle stimulation and can treat multiple areas at the same time while providing a more accurate replication of muscle movements performed by elite athletes during actual training sessions.

Emsculpt

For those who only want to build muscle, Emsculpt is the ideal treatment. In just 30 minutes per treatment site, you can achieve the equivalent of 20,000 lunges, squats, bicep curls, crunches, or other typical strength training exercise without breaking a sweat. The original Emsculpt is ideal for those at or near goal weight who just need to tone, build, and sculpt muscles.

Emsculpt NEO

Emsculpt NEO provides the same muscle-building capacity as Emsculpt but with the added ability to blast away fat with radiofrequency heat. This technology is for those with up to BMI of 31. In under four minutes, subcutaneous fat cells also reach key temperatures to undergo apoptosis. In other words, targeted fat cells are permanently damaged and get absorbed and expelled by the body.

Accufit Body Toning | RefinedMD, Los Gatos

Accufit

Accufit uses electrical muscle stimulation to stimulate a strengthening response while mimicking the muscle movements achieved by athletes during training sessions. The focus is on muscle-building, not fat reduction, using unique waveforms that enable a myriad of muscle contractions, including concentric and eccentric ones. Accufit is the only treatment to emulate four distinct exercise patterns all while under the control of an intelligent real-time impedance feedback system.

Benefits of Emsculpt and Emsculpt NEO

When you work out, the micro tears in the targeted muscles rebuild and in this process, your body burns fat. Unfortunately, even the best workout routine cannot stimulate and encourage supramaximal contractions in the majority of the fibers in the muscles. Until Emsculpt! The benefits of these treatments include:

  • Easy 30-minute treatments
  • 2 sessions per week for 2 weeks
  • Very comfortable, minimal pain

Emsculpt vs. Emsculpt NEO

  • Emsculpt is more affordable than NEO and great for people who are at or close to their ideal weight. It is primarily used for body toning and boasts a 16% increase in muscle mass. Some individuals experience a 19% reduction in fat.*
  • Emsculpt NEO is designed to reduce fat more significantly than regular Emsculpt while building muscle. In fact, Emsculpt NEO results in a 30% reduction in fat and a 19% increase in muscle.*

The HIFEM (high-intensity focused electromagnetic) technology works out all fibers of the targeted muscles to contract without tearing the muscle. You’ll experience 20,000 contractions in one treatment. Afterward, there will be minor muscle soreness. After all, it’s still a workout! The difference is it’s one you can truly indulge in without any sweat, effort, or need of lifting gloves. The radiofrequency with Emsculpt NEO targets only the fat you want to lose, destroying it for good. In the days and weeks following your Emsculpt NEO sessions, you’ll slowly start to see progress as the body naturally expels the fat through sweat and other organic means.

Benefits of Accufit

Accufit is the first non-invasive body contouring and muscle-building treatment to use electrical muscle stimulation.  If you want the same workout as a professional athlete without years of training and risks, Accufit can deliver. Benefits include:

  • Treat multiple zones in just 30 minutes
  • 4 to 6 treatments for optimal results
  • Fast results with treatments 4 to 6 weeks in a row

How Does Accufit Work?

Accufit delivers electronic energy to multiple large muscle groups at once through electrodes attached to the patient. The treatment is computer-controlled and involves unique waveforms that activate concentric and eccentric muscle contractions to emulate 4 exercise patterns, including hold, grip, tap, and twist (individually or in sequence). Other non-invasive muscle toning treatments use magnetic energy in a one-dimensional way.

Patients enjoy the most accurate replication of muscle movements performed by athletes, such as those achieved during planks, squats, twisting, kettlebells, and more.

With Accufit, ultrasound imaging has shown an increase in muscle thickness with a 19 percent average increase just one month post-treatment. Results also reveal a decrease in the abdominal fat layer for most clients, averaging a 29 percent reduction one month after the final treatment. However, Accufit is not a fat reduction treatment but rather a muscle-building option.

Which Areas Can Be Treated With Emsculpt and Accufit?

The market is flooded with options to reduce fat, many of which we offer at RefinedMD, but Emsculpt and Accufit are the only technologies that treat the muscles. Our bodies are 40% muscle. Until now, no other treatments have focused on improving muscle growth and reducing fat. Emsculpt and Accufit are perfect for the following areas:

  • Booty
  • Stomach
  • Thighs
  • Upper arms
  • Legs

Sorry guys, these treatments are not for the chest. Your superhero pecs are up to you.

Of course, individual results may vary from patient to patient; that’s why we invite you to learn more about the science behind Emsculpt and Accufit.

Abdominal Muscles

The stomach is one of the hardest places to eliminate fat. Emsculpt NEO targets your abs and builds muscle while burning the stubborn fat and diet-resistant fat. Emsculpt was shown in seven independent studies to reduce localized fat deposits on the abdomen by 20 percent* on average while increasing muscle mass and thickness by 15 percent. This treatment will reveal your abs like never before. You may be tempted to try your washboard abs to clean your next load of dirty clothes, but we still recommend using your washer for laundry.

Accufit is not technically a fat-busting treatment, but on average the abdominal fat layer decreases nearly 30 percent on average one month after the treatments. Accufit is designed to mimic the same results that pro athletes achieve in real training sessions, including more diverse movements such as twists. This latest technology was created for larger muscles in mind, including the abs which are notoriously difficult to train.

A Better Booty

Sir Mix-A-Lot said it best – “I like big butts and I cannot lie.” For a long time, the only procedure to enhance the back end was a Brazilian butt lift, which is a surgery. Emsculpt and Accufit are non-invasive solutions that places technology on both sides of the buttocks. During the 30-minute treatment, different pulsations of the electromagnetic waves cause a variety of supramaximal contractions. The muscle stimulation forces muscles to lift your glutes and add volume without surgery. There’s no need to go under the knife with options like Emsculpt or Accufit available. Plus, if you want to treat multiple sites at once, you can do that with Accufit (or back-to-back treatments with Emsculpt).

Thick Thighs Save Lives

That might be a bit of an overstatement, but gone are the days when a bigger, toned booty was all you needed to look and feel your best. Matching the thighs to the booty is key to a strong natural look. Men and women alike can achieve the ultimate look of health, strength, and vitality with shapely thighs that look fantastic whether you’re going to the gym or on date night. Fill out those yoga pants, cycling shorts, or skinny jeans just right when you opt for Emsculpt or Accufit and enjoy the thigh life.

Carve Out The Calves

Calf implants are an increasingly popular cosmetic surgery, especially for men, but why risk surgery when you can get larger, toned calves naturally? Shapely and strong calves are the ultimate sign that you care about a balanced aesthetic. However, unlike the larger thigh muscles, calf muscles can be a little tougher to tone unless you want to spend hours in spin class. Emsculpt and Accufit for the calves can give you that taut, hypertrophic look you want and you’ll never be accused of skipping leg day again.

Emsculpt and Accufit Have You Up In Arms

Bicep curls have been a standard—and often dreaded—part of any lifting regimen for decades. However, the biceps are just one of many muscles in the arm that need to be toned and strengthened to get that chiseled look you desire. If you’ve spent hours in the gym trying to get “cut” so you can feel confident in tank tops or strapless dresses, Emsculpt and Accufit are the answer you’ve been seeking. Get the equivalent of 20,000 bicep curls or triceps dips in just 30 minutes with no sweat and no risk of injury.

Really? It’s the same results at 20,000 squats, crunches, curls, or lifts? Yes!

The Science Behind Emsculpt and Emsculpt NEO

Can Emsculpt and Emsculpt NEO really give you the same results as those seen from 20,000 squats, crunches, bicep curls, calf lifts, and other key exercises in just 30 minutes without you having to do a single thing? The answer is yes—and there’s plenty of research to back it up. Emsculpt is a relatively new innovation, but there have already been 13 clinical studies performed that support this muscle-toning and fat-reducing treatment. Emsculpt uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFE) technology to force targeted muscles into 20,000 supramaximal contractions, similar to how muscles contract when you strength-train. One study in the Journal of Aesthetic & Reconstructive Surgery showed that of 21 women who underwent 4 Emsculpt sessions in their glutes, the majority enjoyed aesthetic improvements in the volume and shape of their backside, with less muscle laxity and the look of a “lifted” derriere.

Emsculpt NEO also reduces unwanted subcutaneous fat, the deepest level of fat, further enhancing the look of toned muscles. In a study in the American Society for Dermatological Surgery, researchers used ultrasound to track and measure subcutaneous fat in four areas before and after Emsculpt sessions. In total, 33 participants opted for 4 Emsculpt sessions on their abs. There was “significant” reduction in abdominal subcutaneous fat, averaging a 19% loss one month after the last treatment and 23.3% three months after the final treatment. The participants reported no discomfort and the vast majority were happy with their results. According to the researchers, based on the ultrasound results and photos, Emsculpt is effective and non-invasive way to banish unwanted subcutaneous fat.
