How Does a Body Contouring Treatment Work?

Body contouring in Toronto involves distributing high-intensity electromagnetic energy and radiofrequency to stimulate muscle toning in areas like the buttocks, abdomen, arms, or legs - wherever you may desire a more contoured, sculpted look while burning stubborn fat cells. This treatment delivers the toning equivalent of 20,000 crunches in 45 minutes!

The device - a rubber pad that delivers the electromagnetic pulses - is placed on the desired treatment area, and the vibration causes the muscle contractions to begin. During this treatment, you will lie down and relax in a comfortable reclining chair.

How is a Body Contouring Treatment Performed by Dr. Kellet?

Due to radiofrequency heating, the muscle temperature will rise several degrees when your treatment begins. This prepares the muscles for exposure to stress, similar to a warmup before a workout. 

Muscles in the treated area are contracted at intensities not achievable during routine exercise, initiating a quick growth process. In less than 4 minutes, the temperature in your fat will rise, and the fat is slowly removed from the body naturally, while the underlying muscles are sculpted and toned for optimal results.

How Long Does a Body Contouring Treatment Last?

After your body contouring treatment in Toronto, the fat cells are gone indefinitely, and the increase in muscle typically lasts 6 months or longer. This treatment gives optimal results 2 to 4 weeks after the last session, with continued improvement for several weeks following the final treatment.

Benefits of a Body Contouring Treatment?

Some benefits of a body contouring treatment include:

• Building muscle to give you a more defined physique without hours spent at the gym.
• There is no downtime, meaning you can resume your normal activities as soon as your treatment is over.
• This treatment is quick, taking 45 minutes or less - meaning you can get it done in-between errands or even on your lunch break!

• You can see results in as little as two weeks.

Body Contouring Treatment Risks

There are few risks associated with body contouring procedures like EMSculpt, as it is FDA and Health Canada-approved, minimally invasive, and safe. No cells will be damaged, no blood vessels or nerves will be affected, and no tissue is targeted besides near the muscles around the treatment areas.

Body Contouring Treatment Aftercare

Following treatment, the treatment area will be slightly red, which subsides within a few hours. There is no downtime; you can return to your regular activity immediately. Treated areas can feel mildly sore, similar to after a workout, and may persist for a day or two after treatment. 

A series of 4 treatments is recommended for optimal results approximately one week apart. Patients usually see results in less than 3 months, with the skin appearing smoother, firmer, and tighter. You may also notice some contouring effects. Results continue to improve for several weeks following treatment, and maintenance treatments are directed as needed, as will maintaining a healthy lifestyle to ensure optimal results.
