My Body Sculpting Experience
To start, I was VERY apprehensive about Body Sculpting when I first heard about it. So, I decided to go in and speak with a professional to learn more. I had done a lot of my own “research” (google…lol) before going in, and had lots of questions. The Doctor came into the room and educated me on the correct treatments for my body type. She asked me where my problem areas were; I let her know about how my stomach and love-handles have been driving me crazy for years. For some background… I have tried diet, exercise, body wraps, and “fat burning pills”… still those areas haven’t changed. After evaluating my areas of concern, the Doctor told me a combination of the Coolsculpting (fat freezing) and Emsculpt (muscle building) technologies would be best for my body type. I was surprised to learn that not every body is treated with the same treatments. Being treated as an individual really comforted me and I scheduled my treatments right after the consultation.
MY COOLSCULPTING EXPERIENCE:
Coolsculpting was first. When my appointment came around, I was SO nervous. After speaking with the Medical Assistant and getting all comfy in the robe they had laid out for me, I was feeling better. The Doctor came in a few minutes later and attached the Coolsculpting applicator. “Cool” really is a great word for this treatment, considering the treatment freezes your fat cells to get rid of them. I could feel it getting cold, and then 35 minutes later it was done. When they took off the applicator I couldn’t believe the amount of fat it had treated! I decided to do these treatments on my lunch breaks. Afterwards I went right back to work. No one could tell I did anything.
MY EMSCULPT EXPERIENCE:
Next up was my Emsculpt treatment. I was excited to see how this one would feel. They put the applicator on my abs, and within minutes I could feel my muscles contract. It felt like I was doing an intense ab workout… but I was laying on a bed, haha! I would absolutely recommend this for anyone trying to enhance their workouts. It was surprising how much more I could do with my core at the gym. Plus, Emsculpt helps with back pain because it strengthens your core. I only got the stomach done, but I plan on coming back for some arm and leg treatments
THE RESULTS:
•CoolSculpting: It takes about 3 months for your body to filter out the dead fat cells from your system naturally. I noticed about month 2 that my pants started fitting better. By the time month 3 came around I saw results in the mirror. My love handles are basically gone and my tummy “pooch” is significantly smaller. My pants, and shirts fit better. Most importantly, my confidence level was boosted. I’ve been so happy with my results.
•EMSCULPT: Similar to the Coolsculpting treatment, it takes about 3 months for full results. However, again, around month 2 I started to notice my abs were looking more defined. I didn’t get a six pack over night, but the overall look of my stomach had improved quite a bit.
The combination of both treatments left me feeling happy, confident, and I was excited to buy new clothes again!
If you’ve been thinking about doing Body Sculpting, or just want to know more about it, I would highly recommend going in for a consultation at Idaho Skin Center. They’re knowledgeable and kind. I felt comfortable throughout the entire process. Thank you Dr. K and Staff! Can’t wait to come back for more!
