04 Mar Urban Matter Lists Emsculpt as a Top Non-Invasive Procedure for Men
Men are finally starting to catch up with women when it comes to using both invasive and non-invasive procedures to improve their aesthetic and self-confidence—but which treatments are most recommended and in demand? According to a recent article by Urban Matter, Emsculpt tops the list for men and it’s no surprise. Since this treatment debuted just a few years ago, thousands of people (including many celebrities) have discovered just how fast, easy, and effective this tool is. Here’s how it—and its successor—works.
Muscles get bigger, toned, and stronger when they are subjected to supramaximal contractions. These can be achieve through manual labor, at the gym with various strength-training activities, or with Emsculpt. These very precise kinds of contractions create micro-tears in the muscle fibers. These aren’t the dangerous or painful tears that can take weeks to heal. Instead, they are a good kind of trauma that “tell” the muscles to get bigger and stronger so they can withstand a similar load in the future. This is why muscles need to be fed (protein) after weightlifting and you should have rest days in between sessions. The muscles are healing from those contractions, which requires support and time.
Emsculpt and Muscle-Building
Your body doesn’t know or care why or how these contractions occurred. Emsculpt forces targeted muscles and only these muscles into 20,000 supramaximal contractions in just 30 minutes. It’s identical to doing 20,000 perfect squats, curls, crunches, or other such move but with some key differences. For starters, there’s no risk of tearing your muscles beyond what should happen due to too much load-bearing or poor form. Second, no assister muscles are being used. With Emsculpt, you don’t have to worry about accidentally growing nearby muscles that you aren’t targeting. For example, some people want to work on their glutes but don’t want their thighs getting any bigger. This is where Emsculpt can help.
But keep in mind that Emsculpt is not an alternative to working out. It’s a complement to it. It can be used to help you get stronger when kick-starting a new fitness regimen or take you beyond a plateau at the gym. Ultimately, there’s no way anyone could do 20,000 flawless strength moves in one session, and especially not in 30 minutes. Most clients require 4 – 6 initial Emsculpt sessions for the best results, then maintenance sessions every six months to keep these results. Just like a gym workout, your results aren’t going to be immediate. Muscles take time to tone and grow. Progress photos taken every two weeks are a great way to gauge your progress and success.
Introducing Emsculpt NEO
Emsculpt NEO is the latest generation of Emsculpt, and it combines the muscle-building of Emsculpt with fat burning thanks to the HIFEM+ technology. We offer both at RefinedMD because we understand there are some areas where you just want muscle-building (such as the glutes in some cases) and there are other areas where you want to blast fat, too (like the abs). It’s common to undergo back to back treatments of Emsculpt and/or Emsculpt NEO, such as combining a session on the back with the calves. When you have both technologies at hand, you can choose whether to “just” build muscle or to grow muscles while dissolving small amounts of fat.
Emsculpt technology has quickly become one of the most popular body sculpting and contouring treatments for men and women alike. It’s pain-free, fits into busy schedules, and really works. Although Emsculpt and Emsculpt NEO can be effective for everyone—after all, we all build muscle through supramaximal contractions—the results are most evident on those who are at or near their goal weight. This is a body contouring treatment, which means you should be relatively fit if you want to see the best results.
You can also combine Emsculpt and Emsculpt NEO with CoolSculpting for even more body contouring. A hybrid approach to sculpting your body provides customization and is often the best path.
