Losing weight is a major accomplishment, but the number on the scale is only one part of body composition. Significant weight loss can sometimes leave patients feeling smaller without necessarily having the muscle definition or shape they expected. Maintaining muscle mass is especially important during a weight-loss journey.
At Better You, we look beyond the number on the scale. EMSlift can complement your weight-loss program, adequate protein intake, resistance training, and healthy lifestyle habits by directly stimulating targeted muscle groups.
For patients who have experienced significant weight loss, EMSlift may be a great next step when the goal shifts from simply losing pounds to improving strength, muscle tone, definition, and overall body composition.
What Areas Can Be Treated?
Depending on your individual needs and treatment goals, EMSlift can be used to target specific areas of the body such as abdomen, arms, buttocks, and thighs. During your consultation, we'll discuss the areas you would like to improve and determine whether EMSlift is appropriate for you.
What Does EMSlift Feel Like?
During treatment, you’ll feel the muscles in the targeted area contract repeatedly, along with warmth from the radiofrequency energy. The intensity can be adjusted throughout your session based on your comfort and tolerance. Treatments are performed while you relax on the treatment table, and there are no incisions or injections.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
EMSlift works best as a treatment series rather than a single session. Your recommended number and frequency of treatments will depend on the area being treated, your starting point, and your individual goals. We’ll create a personalized treatment plan during your consultation.
Maintenance treatments may also be recommended depending on your goals and lifestyle.
When Will I See Results?
Everyone responds differently. Some patients may begin noticing changes in how the treated muscles feel or look during their treatment series, while visible changes in body contour and definition may develop more gradually. Your results can depend on several factors, including your starting body composition, muscle mass, treatment area, number of treatments, nutrition, physical activity, and ability to maintain a stable weight. Regular exercise, resistance training, adequate protein intake, hydration, and healthy lifestyle habits can help support your results.
