Dr. Suzanne Yee in Little Rock, Ark., announced the addition of Emsculpt, a non-invasive body shaping procedure that simultaneously addresses both muscle and fat. This dual treatment addresses physiological distinctions currently excluded from other procedures, such as muscle, helping fit individuals with a lower BMI seeking improvement in muscle and fat in hard to target areas.
“Muscles represent about 35% of the human body, but existing aesthetic treatments only focus on the reduction of fat and fail to address muscle,” said Yee “Emsculpt now offers a procedure to treat our fitness focused patients who are not candidates for existing technologies as they don’t have bulk or excess fat to lose. By finally addressing muscle tone, this treatment supports an individual’s dedication to an active and healthy lifestyle, helping them address and further define those particulary stubborn areas,” said Yee, of Dr. Suzanne Yee, Cosmetic and Laser Surgery Center.
Emsculpt is FDA-cleared for the strengthening, toning, and firming of the abdomen and buttocks.
Utilizing HIFEM® technology, Emsculpt offers the application of a magnetic field which penetrates through skin to deliver almost 20,000 muscular contractions per 30 minute session to impact muscle, as well as fat. Once penetrated, the energy induces supramaximal muscle contractions that are accompanied by a rapid metabolic reaction in fat cells to not only strengthen and build muscle, but also reduce fat.
