Looking and feeling like a million bucks doesn’t actually have to cost you a million bucks. At BeachGlo Aesthetics, we offer a number of affordable treatments for body sculpting in Nags Head that can help you look and feel amazing.
Here, we’ll talk about all the body sculpting treatments we offer, what the body sculpting process will look like, and who can benefit from body sculpting.
What Is Body Sculpting?
Body Sculpting is using both minimally invasive and noninvasive treatment to target areas of stubborn fat, loose skin, and poorly toned muscle.
Exion Skin Tightening
Exion skin tightening has 2 applicators that can target the face and the body. Both applicators combine radiofrequency (RF) and ultrasound and convert them into thermal energy, but the applicator for your face is smaller and delivers less intense RF energy, with many patients describing the feeling of treatment as similar to a warm stone massage.
The face applicator is less intense because the designers of Exion understand that heat from RF energy can “melt” fat cells, and you need some fat in your face to maintain your youthful appearance. So the Exion face delivers just enough heat to increase production of collagen and elastin—the 2 proteins responsible for repairing and strengthening the cellular structure of your skin. The heat also increases your body’s natural production of hyaluronic acid (HA), which helps your skin retain moisture so your skin looks healthy and smooth.
The body applicator is larger and delivers more intense heat to melt pockets of stubborn fat. Exion uses the science of thermal lipolysis as the basis of treatment—the understanding that fat cells die at lower temperatures than other tissue cells. When exposing your skin to heat generated from the combined RF and ultrasound, Exion can use precise temperatures to remove fat cells without causing damage to your skin or surrounding tissues.
As a treatment for body sculpting in Nags Head, Exion can work to tighten skin and reduce body fat. Whether you use Exion for your face or your body, you can see great improvements in your appearance that will help you feel more confident in how you look.
Emsculpt NEO
Emsculpt NEO uses the same science of thermal lipolysis to target stubborn fat using heat generated from radiofrequency. However, instead of combining it with ultrasound, Emsculpt NEO combines the RF energy with high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy. These work simultaneously to both melt fat and build muscle.
While the RF energy converts to heat and works to destroy fat cells, the HIFEM energy uses electromagnetic pulses to stimulate rapid muscle contractions within the targeted area—roughly 20,000 contractions in just 30 minutes! When applied to the abdomen, this can help build up muscle mass by 30%, decrease stubborn fat by 25%, reduce abdominal separation by 19%, and shrink your waist by 5.9 cm (one dress size).
What makes Emsculpt NEO a popular treatment for body sculpting in Nags Head is the fact it can accomplish all this within just 6 sessions of 30 minutes. Since treatment is noninvasive, you’ll have no downtime, allowing you to return to your day as normal. It’s a simple way to create the contours and tone muscles you’ve been working for.
Exion RF Microneedling
Exion RF microneedling can be used on both the face and the body, but just like Exion face and Exion body, we use less intense treatment when it comes to the face to avoid targeting fat. Exion RF microneedling combines radiofrequency and microneedling to improve skin laxity, even out skin texture and tone, shrink pore size, smooth fine lines & wrinkles, and reduce pockets of stubborn fat.
Exion RF microneedling combines traditional microneedling and radiofrequency—2 treatments that work well separately. Together, they multiply the benefits for your skin.
The microneedles create microchannels as deep as 4mm into your skin when treating the face & neck, allowing the heat to penetrate as deep as 8mm depending on the area of the body, all without causing much discomfort. For your face, the microneedles stimulate collagen and elastin production, which helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. The microchannels also allow the heat to go deep into the skin on your body, so the RF energy can target the layer of stubborn fat that lies under your skin.
It’s important to note that the depth of the needles adjusts depending on your needs and the treatment area. Because the skin on your face is so thin, your provider will use less depth so they can stimulate collagen and elastin production without removing any fat.
Also, Exion RF microneedling is an exceptional treatment for body sculpting in Nags Head because it can treat patients of any skin color. Because heat can sometimes impact skin pigmentation, Exion provides insulated and non-insulated needles. Insulated needles are protected by a coating that allows the thermal energy generated by the radiofrequency to fire at the base. This protects the skin while still delivering the best treatment for those with the skin types of III through VI. Meanwhile, non-insulated needles do not have the protective coating, so they fire through the entire needle, delivering the best results for those with the skin types of I through II. Our team will help determine which needles are best for your skin type and which you will benefit from the most.
The Body Contouring Process
While we customize the treatment process based on each patient’s individual needs, here is what you can expect when you visit our BeachGlo team for body sculpting in Nags Head.
Consultation
Your first appointment with our team will be a one-on-one consultation with one of our providers. They will take the time to learn about your specific concerns, your goals, and your full medical history, including what medications you take and what previous treatments you’ve received.
Once they’ve gotten a full idea of your health profile, they will use their expertise to discuss different treatment options with you. Together, you will decide which treatments best suit your needs and create a personalized care plan that helps you achieve your aesthetic and wellness goals.
Treatment
Your appointment will look different depending on which treatments you receive for body sculpting in Nags Head and what treatments you choose for your body contouring plan. However, your provider will consistently check in with you to see how your results are matching your goals, how you are feeling, and to address any questions you might have. While we want you to accomplish your goals, your comfort and care are our top priority.
Results
When you are finished with your entire treatment series, your provider will let you know when you can expect to see the full results of your treatments. In the meantime, you can always support your body sculpting results by exercising regularly, following a healthy, balanced diet, and staying well hydrated. Once you have achieved your full results, your provider will compare them to your original goals and help you feel confident in your body.
Frequently Asked Body Contouring Questions
Do your body contouring treatments help with weight loss?
While our treatments for body sculpting in Nags Head are a great way to finish your weight loss journey, they will not help you achieve your goals by themselves. If you are looking to lose weight more generally rather than targeting specific areas of stubborn fat, we encourage you to talk to your primary care provider about your weight loss options. Once you have finished your weight loss journey,then we encourage you to undergo our body contouring treatments to target areas of stubborn fat.
Our treatments can also help you maintain muscle mass during your weight loss journey. Weight loss injections can cause muscle wasting, where you lose muscle mass along with fat. However, with treatments like Emsculpt NEO, you can retain more muscle mass, ensuring you’re focusing on losing unwanted body fat.
Are there other ways Emsculpt NEO can improve my health?
Yes! Emsculpt NEO was recently approved to treat a number of functionality concerns, including muscle wasting, age-related deterioration, muscle spasms, low blood circulation, poor range of motion, and more. If you’re looking to improve your health and movement, then you can speak to one of our providers to see if Emsculpt NEO is the right solution for you.
What are skin types?
We use the Fitzpatrick scale to determine skin types. This scale helps us predict how your skin will react to heat and UV radiation depending on how much melanin you already have present in your skin. Certain treatments, especially older skin rejuvenation treatments, can only treat 1 or 2 different skin types. However, as aesthetic technology has improved, treatments are becoming more and more inclusive of all skin types.
Why do I want to keep fat in my face?
You will want to keep some fat in your face because that keeps your complexion looking healthy and full, and it keeps your skin tighter. This helps your skin look youthful and fights against the early developments of wrinkles and fine lines.
