Coolsculpting vs Emsculpt Neo: Which Body Sculpting Treatment is the Best Fit for You?
Body contouring, also known as body sculpting, is something that many people across the globe are considering when some of the most traditional methods of getting and staying fit are not working. You do everything it takes to be fit and healthy, and not seeing those results of your hard work is extremely discouraging, especially when it comes to failing to achieve having the body that you desire so much. Depending on your body type and appearance, hours at the gym and intense diets, unfortunately, do not always create the lean, toned appearance that we often associate with vitality and youth.
If you are like many other Americans that have isolated pockets of fat, excess sagging skin, or cellulite that is keeping you away from having the body shape that you want, then body sculpting is the best option for you. To help you fully achieve your goals when it comes to your body, the experts at Kovak Cosmetic Center provide a wide array of body contouring procedures, but which is best for you? Feeling good about your body will affect not only your life in so many different ways but also the lives of those around you. From increased self-confidence to a healthier mentality and appearance, body contouring will change your life immensely. Explore all of the different body contouring treatments that you have available and choose the right one with Kovak Cosmetic Center!
How Does Body Sculpting Work?
Body Sculpting is an umbrella term that is used to describe our array of non-invasive fat reduction and muscle growth treatments. Each one is designed to lose inches, get rid of unwanted fat, and get the body of your dreams. Body Sculpting with Kovak Cosmetic Center is what our clients need for a healthier and happier lifestyle!
The 2 Stars Of Body Sculpting: Emsculpt and CoolSculpting
CoolSculpting
CoolSculpting is a noninvasive (treatment that is performed without the use of surgical tools) fat reduction technology that eliminates stubborn fat, which does not respond to diet and exercise. For many people, no matter what they do or how they work at it, these fat deposits just won’t go away, and that is where CoolSculpting comes in. By lowering the anatomy’s temperature to 14 degrees Fahrenheit, CoolSculpting essentially destroys fat cells.
Emsculpt NEO
Emsculpt Neo was one of the first noninvasive medical procedures to help both women and men build and define muscle while losing weight without the need for needles, knives, or anesthesia. This new technology uses electromagnetic energy to grow muscle fibers and muscle volume without endless hours in the gym or going under the knife. Emsculpt Neo is a groundbreaking technology designed to build & define the:
- Biceps
- Abdominal muscles
- Triceps
- Calves
- Buttocks
Every single time you do complete an exercise like a sit-up or a squat, your muscles contract. These are also known as voluntary contractions, and when performing them in the gym, you are only using about 40% of your muscles capacity. Emsculpt Neo induces supramaximal contractions forcing your muscles to use 100% of their capacity. The level of muscle contractions that Emsculpt Neo induces is not possible by doing exercise on your own. One treatment is like combining years of daily exercise into a small period of time to give you ultimate results.
Some people will be ideal candidates for CoolSculpting, others better suited for Emsculpt Neo, or even for both treatments. Your Cosmetic specialist at Kovak Cosmetic Center must understand your ultimate goal before you choose a treatment to help you choose what the best option for you is!
Here are some of the key differences between the two treatment options:
Â
The Main Purpose of Each Procedure
CoolSculpting reduces Fat, Emsculpt tones muscles
This is the primary and most essential difference between these two incredible treatment options at Kovak Cosmetic Center. CoolSculpting is the gold standard for fat reduction treatment in Chicago for those looking to avoid surgery and horribly long recovery times. It is ideal for targeting stubborn fat on the abs, thighs, back, upper arms, and under the chin. It works by delivering extreme cold temperatures directly through the skin, causing a portion of the fat cells in the area being targeted to shrink, shrivel, and eventually die. After these cells are no longer alive, the body naturally gets rid of them, helping you lose stubborn fat quickly.
Emsculpt Neo works in a completely different way from CoolSculpting. The machine that is used causes the muscles in the area being treated to make tens of thousands of contractions during each session. This is compared to as if you were doing impossibly large numbers of squats, crunches, or sit-ups in a short period of time. Emsculpt Neo does the impossible by building new muscle fibers while at the same time toning the ones that already exist. While it may seem that Emsculpt imitated the effect of exercise, and though exercising usually is consistent with slimming down, Emsculpt actually tones your muscles, so your clothes may feel a bit tighter following your procedure. Fat reduction isn’t the main goal of Emsculpt Neo though a majority of clients see a small reduction after a couple of weeks.
The Difference in Technology: Cryolipolysis vs. Electromagnetism
Emsculpt uses high-intensity electromagnetic technology to induce involuntary supramaximal muscle contractions in the area that is being targeted and treated. Because simple exercises cannot achieve this type of activity, electromagnetic technology engages 100% of the muscle fibers in the area, toning the muscle faster than traditional exercise methods.
CoolSculpting uses fat freezing technology (Cryolipolysis) to target stubborn fat cells. The applicator used slightly suction the skin and fatty tissue in the cooling cups. When inside, they are brought to a controlled temperature cold enough for the fat cells to die but not harm the skin, nerve tissue, or muscle.
Did you know that for those searching to do both lose fat and gain muscle, many specialists recommend CoolSculpting first and then Emsculpt Neo treatment after?
Getting Down to the Results Following the Treatment
CoolSculpting is dependent on your body’s natural process to metabolize and flush out the affected fat cells; once all of them are gone, they will be gone forever. It will take numerous weeks before the full results of CoolSculpting will become noticeable. As long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle, sensible diet, and regular exercise regime, there is no limit on how long the difference will last. It is important to know that CoolSculpting is not a weight-loss treatment. CoolSculpting was designed to help those already at their desired weight get rid of stubborn fat that they could not get rid of through exercise and dieting.
Emsculpt induces visible improvements in muscle tone. Growth in muscle usually takes months to achieve can be seen after just a couple of weeks following Emsculpt Neo treatment. Many patients say that they feel the area that was targeted firm and tighter as soon as a few days after the last treatment. But, just like the muscle that you gain from going to the gym, you either use it or lose it. Emsculpt Neo is not a substitute for going to the gym; you still need to take part in physical activity following the treatment to keep the results.
Which Body Sculpting Treatment is Safer?
Both are FDA-cleared, non-surgical, and relatively pain-free
CoolSculpting is the “old kid on the block,” with more time available for those interested in noninvasive body sculpting treatments. This means that it simply has a longer track record of safety and effectiveness. It has been cleared by the FDA since 2021, and over 6 million people worldwide have chosen CoolSculpting for body contouring. Patients may experience some temporary soreness, mild swelling, and numbness following the procedures, and serious side effects are extremely rare. The comfort area depends on the area, but the majority of patients enjoy the treatment after they get used to the sensation and intense cold.
Emsculpt Neo is new and hasn’t been around as long as CoolSculpting, but regardless, it has an amazing safety record so far! The machine forces muscle contractions. The feeling has been described as a bit weird because it is like they just completed an intense workout while lying down. Emsculpt is not safe for anyone who has metallic or electronic implants due to the electromagnetic treatment.
Both Emsculpt and Coolsculpting are non-invasive and do not require anesthesia, needs, or incisions of any kind. In the well-trained hands of the Cosmetic Specialists at Kovak Cosmetic Center, the risk of negative effects is extremely low. Neither treatment required recovery periods, and can usually return to their daily activities as normal. Some people do opt to take the rest of the day to relax as they may be a little sore after their treatment.
Choose a Board Certified, Professional Provider for Emsculpt Neo and CoolSculpting in Chicago
It is absolutely essential that you only choose the most qualified provider of either treatment. With Emsculpt, the provider needs to know how to tune the machine safely and properly target the area. With CoolSculpting, it can be the difference between measurable fat loss or wasted time and money. You need a provider with aesthetic medical training and knowledge of proportion, symmetry, and anatomy for the most desirable results. All cosmetic specialists at Kovak Cosmetic Center are highly trained to complete both of these procedures, with many clients achieving the desired results that they desire.
