Whether you’re using the new GLP-1 weight loss medications or not, you’re successfully shedding unhealthy pounds and you’re thrilled with the results. You should be, given that nearly three-quarters of American adults are either overweight or have obesity — and we applaud your efforts.
As you revel in the newer, slimmer you, now’s not the time to take your foot off the gas pedal. Losing weight by cutting calories is a big piece of the weight loss puzzle, but it’s not the only one. If you want to better show off your weight loss results and, perhaps more importantly, hold onto them, building muscle is important.
Aside from sweating it out through exercise, Dr. Sean P. Nikravan and our team can boost muscle-building efforts with our body toning by Emsculpt®. Here’s how.
Let’s first dive into the exciting Emsculpt technology, which allows you to build muscle without sweating it out at the gym.
Emsculpt is a technology that delivers high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy into target areas to stimulate muscle contractions. This energy not only causes far more contractions than you’d get through regular exercise, but it also gets to every muscle fiber in your treatment areas. These include your:
Emsculpt is also noninvasive — you simply lie back and let the technology do its work.
Weight loss can be incredibly challenging for a large number of reasons, and it’s also a process that’s tough to control. For starters, spot reduction is mostly a myth — when you diet, you can’t direct where your body sheds the excess fat. That job is up to your biology.
That doesn’t mean that you can’t control your body shape, however, which is where muscle building and toning come in. By combining our exciting Emsculpt technology with your weight loss efforts, we can better guide you toward your ideal body shape.
If you’ve been on the dieting circuit before, you know how easy it is to gain back weight after you lose it. Our objective with Emsculpt is to provide a way for our patients to build muscle as they lose weight because muscle actively burns calories.
As you trade out fat for muscle, these tissues boost your metabolism and go a long way toward helping you to maintain your weight loss results. In fact, even at rest, your muscles can burn calories, so you want far more muscle than fat in your body. And that’s where Emsculpt can give you a big leg up.
While the weight loss benefits of muscle building are great, your Emsculpt treatments can also help you feel stronger and they can improve your range of motion and stability.
Ultimately, you’ve got nothing to lose — well, except fat — and everything to gain from enlisting Emsculpt on your weight loss journey.
