14 Nov Start Emsculpt NOW For a Spring Break-Ready Body
It can be tough to get to the gym this time of year, but spring break (and swimsuit season) will be here before you know it. We’ve got your back—and legs, stomach, upper arms, and glutes—with Emsculpt, the one-of-a-kind technology that targets muscles like never before. It forces muscles into 20,000 supramaximal contractions in just 30 minutes. For your body, that’s like doing 20,000 bicep curls, lunges, squats, or other strength-training move. The only difference is you don’t have to lift a finger. You can sit back and relax while Emsculpt does all the work.
The science behind Emsculpt is revolutionary and yet pretty simple. Our muscles get bigger and stronger when they undergo supramaximal contractions. This happens when you lift weights, during manual labor, or with Emsculpt. When muscles undergo this kind of pressure, they experience micro-tears. The muscles then respond by getting bigger and stronger so they can withstand similar stress in the future. For your muscles, they don’t “care” whether this strength comes from the gym or Emsculpt. They will respond in the same manner.
The Emsculpt Difference
Even if you could do 20,000 crunches in a row, you know you wouldn’t immediately have a six-pack. It takes time for muscles to get bigger and stronger. In fact, gains actually happen in the recovery period after contractions—not during them. The typical foundational schedule for Emsculpt on any part of the body is 4 – 6 sessions spaced one month apart. The time in between sessions is when your muscles will be growing. Bear in mind that Emsculpt is a complement to a good workout regimen, not a replacement.
Since Emsculpt is a muscle-building treatment and not targeted for weight loss, how your clothes fit and measurements are going to be a good gauge of progress rather than weight. Progress photos are also a good idea. Once you complete your initial sessions, maintenance appointments every six months are recommended.
If you start Emsculpt right now, not only can you check off one New Year’s Eve resolution early, you’ll also be in top shape just in time for swimsuit season. There are limits to what you can achieve with diet and exercise alone. Emsculpt helps you take your results to the next level by providing a healthy foundation and pushing your muscles beyond what you can manage yourself.
Emsculpt as Part of a Healthy Lifestyle
Everyone is a good candidate for Emsculpt, whether you’re getting ready to start a workout regimen or you’re struggling with a plateau. One major benefit of Emsculpt is that it’s zero-risk. Working out with weights comes with a host of risks, like severe muscles tears from poor form or lifting weights that are too-heavy, that can bench you for weeks. Muscles need just the right amount of stress in order to grow without tearing to a dangerous degree. With Emsculpt, you don’t have to worry. Most clients sit back and scroll through their phone while undergoing treatment.
You can also book back-to-back Emsculpt appointments to target multiple sites. It is just 30 minutes per site, so opting for the back and glutes will require just one hour of your time. Just keep in mind that you will probably be sore the next day—DOMS doesn’t care if your muscles are put to work using a fixed weight machine or Emsculpt. You can reduce soreness by drinking BCAA-water before, during, and after your treatment. Results can be optimized by consuming at least 20 grams of protein right after your appointment. Remember that muscles need protein in order to grow, and that’s true even when you’re growing them via Emsculpt.
Taking Control of Summer 2023
Winter is the best time to start undergoing non-surgical procedures and treatments to make it the best summer to come. Emsculpt is just one way to get beach-ready. You might also want to think about laser hair reduction so you can ditch the razor for good. Like Emsculpt, laser hair reduction takes a few sessions to get the best results (and one month between treatments is recommended). Emsculpt and laser hair reduction is the ultimate get ready for summer combination.
