Maximize Your Results By Combining Body Sculpting Treatments With RF Microneedling

The beauty (pun intended) of minimally invasive aesthetic treatments is that they can play off of each other to promote more well-rounded and impressive results.

Such is the case with sculpting treatments like EMSCULPT NEO and RF microneedling, a perfect pairing for those looking to firm up their physique while retaining a natural, healthy look.

As experts in both treatments and more, our highly trained team at Still Well in Staten Island, NY, is happy to answer any questions you have about either and how they work together.

But first things first, how does each treatment work?

Introducing EMSCULPT NEO

A seriously elevated approach to traditional body contouring, EMSCULPT NEO harnesses electromagnetic and radiofrequency energy to deliver a powerful fat-burning and muscle-sculpting combination.

This treatment is completely non-invasive and can be applied to various areas of the body, including the glutes, torso, arms, calves, and more. EMSCULPT NEO not only provides a non-surgical way to eliminate stubborn fat spots, but can actually improve your body composition by encouraging muscle growth in the same areas.

Exploring the Muscle-Toning and Fat-Burning Mechanisms

The muscle-toning component of EMSCULPT NEO treatment is associated with high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy. When electromagnetic energy is applied to the muscles, they respond by forcefully contracting.

Of course, exercise also stimulates muscle contractions, but the difference with EMSCULPT NEO is that the energy load delivered in the treatment is enough to force a very strong contraction — stronger than what you could achieve on your own under normal circumstances.

More contractions mean greater muscle definition, not to mention an assist with the fat-burning component.

To enhance your results, this innovative treatment simultaneously emits radiofrequency energy, which carefully but effectively heats up fatty tissue. The fat cells are destroyed by this heat and are then naturally excreted by the body over a period of several weeks.

In addition to the obvious aesthetic benefits of sculpting muscle and burning fat, the treatment also targets visceral fat — the kind parked deep under the tissue that surrounds vital organs and increases your risks of diabetes, heart disease, and other serious problems.

Not to mention, EMSCULPT NEO treatments are super easy, quick (around 30 minutes), and require no downtime.

RF Microneedling 101

Microneedling is an advanced treatment that stimulates the natural healing capabilities of the body by inducing tiny, controlled injuries throughout the target tissue.

During this procedure, very small needles are passed through the skin’s surface. This causes those microscopic injuries, in turn prompting the body to respond in several ways. Part one of the response is to promote inflammation, which helps to “wipe the slate clean” of dead and damaged debris before the rebuilding begins.

Then, new skin cells move in to fill in the gaps caused by the small cuts. Collagen synthesis is also ramped up, which is key to the success of this procedure, given this structural protein’s importance in maintaining tight, elastic, and healthy skin.

As more skin cells fill in the gaps while the collagen matures, the area is effectively resurfaced and restored to a healthier state.

How Radiofrequency Enhances Results

RF microneedling takes traditional microneedling a step further to enhance your results. During treatment, radiofrequency waves (hence the “RF”) are emitted by the needles. This energy targets deeper layers of the skin, destroying various abnormalities like poorly formed collagen fibers. Combined with a second instance of stimulating the various responses mentioned above, this helps to further cut down on signs of scarring and other imperfections.

People with acne scars, skin pigmentation issues, rosacea, stretch marks, and general signs of aging may all potentially benefit from RF microneedling. Like non-surgical body sculpting procedures, RF microneedling requires little to no downtime. It is often favored over laser resurfacing treatments because it avoids the risk of hyperpigmentation.

Now that we’ve introduced both RF microneedling and EMSCULPT NEO, let’s explore how they work together to seriously punch up your skin resurfacing routine.

Sculpting and Microneedling: The Perfect Pairing

More and more people are turning to sculpting and microneedling as the ultimate combination for comprehensive rejuvenation. These two treatments complement each other in several ways while keeping downtime and discomfort very minimal.

In some cases, flushing out fatty tissue with a sculpting treatment regimen can cause loose skin around the treatment area. RF microneedling is perfectly positioned to address this issue, since it can tighten the skin to accommodate the smaller volume of tissue underneath.

RF microneedling and EMSCULPT NEO also neatly complement each other in terms of the overall aesthetic factor. The point is that while body sculpting helps with the silhouette (muscle tone, fat reduction, etc.), microneedling helps with the surface appearance of the skin. This includes acne, scars, stretch marks, and various other imperfections that need resurfacing.

Both of these treatments come with very little (or no) downtime, and are suitable for a wide range of people, regardless of gender, skin type, and so on.
