PLASTIC SURGERY

Q:

What are the most effective body Sculpting and Defining treatments that don’t require plastic surgery? A: The most effective methods of treatment for fat and muscle definition involves radiofrequency waves and multi-directional muscle stimulation and their effects on your different tissues of your trunk, abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms or buttocks, even chins. TruSculpt Flex and TruSculpt iD can combine to rock your abs and make you look more toned and firm as well as strengthen your muscles and reduce your fat. Trusculpt Flex tones and tightens your muscles. Trusculpt id permanently shrinks your fat and shrinks your skin if your weight stays the same. Each treatment takes about 45 minutes in the office. Depending upon your fitness level and BMI we do the fat treatment areas using up to six treatment zones in a single session. We usually wait about 6 weeks between fat treatments in your target areas. While you’re waiting for the fat to shrink, your skin will also tighten. During this waiting period, you can start the 4 to 6 sessions of the Flex treatments. Trusculpt Flex can be done twice a week and this will produce muscle toning and definition. Most patients are a candidate for treatment for this treatment, although there are some contraindications. During the consultation you will be evaluated to see if you are a good candidate for non-surgical improvement. If your goals are more extensive or you have too much laxity, then you may need to consider surgery. You don’t need to be a body builder to benefit from hard to lose areas toning, or hard to shape areas slimming. People who don’t work out a lot can see some nice results. For those that are already in good shape, there are great sculpting effects that can occur because of the effects of radiofrequency waves on your tissues. Unlike freezing methods, the radio waves tighten the skin while it shrinks your fat. You won’t get bigger fat in the areas treated with radiofrequency energy, like seen in up to 20% of fat freezing treatments. It really works! The treatment has no recovery time and enables you to return to immediate normal activities after treatment. With the Trusculpt Flex, some people experience muscle soreness after the multi-directional stimulation of the muscle qroups that replicate intensified twisting, squat and crunch actions. In addition, the muscles are contracting and stimulated to the point of exhaustion, then relaxing occurs to increase strength and enhance endurance. The fast, deep, sequential contractions of the muscles simulate interval training to increase basal metabolic rate and define the muscle mass. Give us a call and schedule a consultation. Whether its bathing suit or board room, you’ll look better!
