Our team at South Coast Dermatology & Cosmetic Center will identify and work with you on what we can treat.
REDUCE FAT & BUILD MUSCLE AT THE SAME TIME
Body contouring is generally about two things: reducing fat and building muscle. Careful dieting and thoughtful exercise have long been the only options for men and women seeking to get a flatter abdomen or better-defined abs, and even these methods may not deliver the desired results. EMSCULPT® at Weymouth's South Coast Dermatology on the South Shore is ideal for anyone who needs a little something extra to truly get those desired contours.
Using high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy, EMSCULPT® encourages intense muscle activity in the targeted area, triggering multiple cosmetic benefits. The procedure is entirely nonsurgical, with no incisions or sutures required.
WHERE CAN EMSCULPT® BE APPLIED?
Kybella® injections have deoxycholic acid as their active ingredient. When carefully injected into areas with numerous fat cells, this deoxycholic acid causes the fat cells to die in a process known as cytolysis, which causes them to burst. Natural maintenance processes at work in the body then remove the cells damaged by the treatment, gradually clearing away the fat—which leads to a reduction in volume.
WHERE CAN EMSCULPT® BE APPLIED?
The EMSCULPT® device is designed to impact two areas on the body: the abdomen and the buttocks.
On the abdomen, EMSCULPT® works to reduce fat cells and strengthen muscles for a leaner, more toned look. On the buttocks, it lifts and tones for a rounder, fuller look.
HOW DOES EMSCULPT® WORK?
The high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy deployed by EMSCULPT® causes what are known as "supramaximal" contractions in the targeted muscles. Patients can expect to experience about 20,000 contractions in the span of roughly half an hour—far more than could ever be accomplished by sit-ups or other exercises in the same amount of time.
This highly concentrated activity builds up special cells known as myofibers in the muscles, making them stronger and more defined. It also puts nearby fat cells into a state known as lipolysis. Simply put, that means the fat cells are killed off for gradual elimination from the body.
Typically, ideal results are seen after four treatment sessions, each spaced a few days apart. Since the cell-clearing process does take time, results from these sessions will be seen to improve over months.
WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR EMSCULPT®?
It takes time for the body to remove ruptured cells from the treatment area, so patients can expect results to begin to appear in the weeks after a treatment session, then to improve over the following months.
While one session is sufficient to make a visible difference in the submental area, achieving ideal results may require two to four sessions, each spaced roughly one month apart.
There will be some swelling afterward, which can last about a week and generally means better results.
WHAT COMPLEMENTS EMSCULPT®TREATMENT?
CoolSculpting® is a temperature-based fat-reduction device that chills unwanted fat cells, sending them into lipolysis. Though this treatment does not simultaneously build muscle, it can be used virtually anywhere on the body where unwanted fat cells are found. When paired together, these two body sculpting treatments can generate significant results.
A treatment specifically focused on reducing a double chin is Kybella®. This injectable can bring more definition to the jawline.
Anyone who wants their body to have a more sculpted look overall is encouraged to contact South Coast Dermatology to discover their options.
