The alarm clock goes off and the day begins. And with that, so do the questions. Gym today? Do you really have to go? Is it leg day? Or, worse yet, core and abdominal day?
It’s admittedly hard to stoke the motivational flames when hundreds of agonizing crunches and endless sets of squats await you. But the promise of the body you desire fuels you. “No pain, no gain,” you whisper to yourself as you head out the door, gym bag in tow. Remember your personal trainer’s reminder: Pain is simply weakness leaving the body.
Twenty-four hours later … the alarm clock sounds and yet another day dawns. Gym (again)? It all feels disappointingly familiar. More effort … more delayed gratification. What choice do you have? You cannot fast forward results from your workouts … or can you? What if there were a better way, a smarter way? What if we could hit the proverbial fast forward on our fitness goals? Can you imagine rock-hard abs without all the hard work? Have you dreamed about a sculpted/lifted rear without the inherent risks of surgery? The Institute of Aesthetic Surgery may have a quicker answer.
We at the Institute of Aesthetic Surgery (IAS) invite you to no longer imagine it but experience a more effective way to build your abdominal muscles. Non-invasive body contouring has evolved. We are no longer simply chasing fat but rather sculpting muscle as well (after all, more than a one-third of the body is comprised of muscles). Welcome to the future of non-invasive body contouring. Or more appropriately … welcome to your fitness future!
IAS is proud to introduce our patients to our newest addition, the EMSculpt. The EMSculpt is the only available device that is FDA approved to help both women and men build muscle, burn fat, and sculpt their body. EMSculpt is also the world’s first and only non-invasive buttock toning procedure. Through the use of hi-frequency electromagnetic stimulation (similar to an MRI), this device launches a dual front attack by building underlying abdominal muscles (16 percent increase in mass) and decreasing excess fat deposits (20 percent decrease). These results were measured by radiologic imaging studies at seven different centers across the country. Experience 80,000 supramaximal contractions over two weeks in four pain-free, non-invasive sessions.

Either as a jumpstart to a new fitness resolution or a shot in the arm (or abs) to a flagging gym habit, EMSculpt takes your workouts to infinity and beyond. You will achieve levels of contraction and muscle activity that are simply not possible through traditional means. These muscle contractions are stronger than those you can voluntarily make and more frequent than humanly possible within that period of time. These supramaximal contractions will trigger the release of free fatty acids, which consequently break down local fat deposits and increase muscle tone and strength, similar to the way doing a sit-up or squat would strengthen and tone. These effects are in addition to the caloric toll of sustained physical activity on such a high level. As in the case of traditional exercise, the body reacts to the wear and tear by rebuilding and repairing tissue, resulting in stronger, firmer muscles.
After treatment, one will feel the same soreness that you would feel after a strenuous workout. After 30 minutes, it’s back to life as usual (try that after 20,000 crunches!). The difference, however, lies in the results. Dramatic reductions in fat and improvements in muscle definition will be noted in as little as three to six months (and felt immediately), with studies demonstrating a waistline decrease of almost two inches (that’s two pant sizes) and (for frustrated mommies) a decrease in muscle separation (aka rectus diastasis) of 11 percent.

EMSculpt delivers immediate results you can actually feel that were previously not attainable without surgery (no anesthesia, no pain, no risk, no downtime). Fat alone is no longer the only target. Now you can improve your core, which can help with posture and back pain. It represents the next evolution in non-invasive body contouring and is poised to take the fitness world by storm. We here at IAS are pleased to be among the first in the nation to offer this cutting-edge technology to our patients. We invite you to work smarter, not harder, and put our science to work for you.
