Cirillo Institute Adds Nonsurgical Muscle-Building / Fat-Reducing Treatments for Body Sculpting and Incontinence
Using noninvasive electromagnetic energy with Emsculpt® and Emsella™, the Philadelphia area's Cirillo Cosmetic Dermatology Spa can strengthen muscles and reduce fat without surgery
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 19, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- With the introduction of groundbreaking new high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM®) technology, the Philadelphia-area, dermatologist-led Cirillo Cosmetic Dermatology Spa now offers patients the ability to reduce fat and build muscle without incisions, sutures, or injections. Emsculpt® body sculpting options include strengthening the abdominal muscles while losing fat and toning and lifting the buttocks. Another application, Emsella™, is for strengthening the pelvic floor to address incontinence issues due to childbirth, menopause, and aging.
Dermatologist Victoria A. Cirillo-Hyland, MD, and the rest of the Cirillo Cosmetic Dermatology Spa team are always seeking to ensure that the treatments available at the practice are safe and effective, and take advantage of the latest technological developments. BTL Aesthetics' high-intensity focused electromagnetic technology is the first of its kind to be used this way, delivering magnetic energy that passes through skin to cause targeted muscles to contract almost 20,000 times in just 30 minutes for Emsculpt® and 17,000 times in 28 minutes for Emsella™.
With Emsculpt®, the intense, concentrated contractions make the muscles stronger by increasing the size and number of muscle fibers and simultaneously causing a metabolic reaction that destroys fat cells in the area. While results may be noticed after one treatment, the recommended course is four half-hour sessions spread over two weeks. The results will continue to improve for several months after the last treatment.
Seven separate clinical studies confirmed that the Emsculpt® treatment can reduce subcutaneous abdominal fat by 19 percent, increase muscle mass by 16 percent, and reduce waistlines by an average of 4.4 centimeters.
This allows women and men to make noticeable improvements to areas that are difficult to target via lifestyle-based body sculpting efforts. The ultimate results achieved with Emsculpt® are enhanced abdominal contouring by building muscle and reducing fat. Emsculpt® is also a safe option for buttocks toning and lifting. The treatment parameters used to treat the buttocks are different than those used to treat the abdomen, as fat loss is not desired for buttocks toning and lifting.
The Emsella™ device is a chair, often referred to as the "Kegel Throne," where women can sit comfortably, fully clothed and be treated. It operates in a similar way to Emsculpt®, sending magnetic energy through the clothes and skin to cause pelvic floor muscles to rapidly and repeatedly contract. These supramaximal contractions strengthen the targeted muscles in the pelvic floor, thereby providing increased muscular support to this area.
A study revealed that 95 percent of the patients treated with Emsella™ reported that they were satisfied and that their quality of life improved after six treatments. Ideal results occur after six sessions scheduled twice a week for three weeks.
