As we age, it can grow increasingly difficult to maintain control of our bodies the way we did when we were younger. After the age of 30, people lose 3% to 5% of their muscle mass, which can limit mobility and cause muscle atrophy or urinary incontinence.
The solution? State-of-the-art core strengthening in Nags Head.
At BeachGlo Aesthetics, we believe every patient deserves to look and feel their best—no matter their age.
Emsculpt NEO
Emsculpt NEO is a noninvasive body contouring device that uses radiofrequency (RF) energy and high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy to reduce fat and strengthen muscle.
Radiofrequency waves penetrate the skin and heat stubborn fat pockets, damaging these tissues in a process called lipolysis, which transforms fat cells into cellular energy. Lipolysis triggers apoptosis, or programmed cell death, and prompts the body to eliminate up to 30% of targeted fat by flushing these cells from the body.
Core-to-floor therapy focuses on the other half of Emsculpt NEO, which uses HIFEM to stimulate supramaximal, or involuntary, muscle contractions—up to 25,000 in a single, 30-minute session. This strengthens and tones muscles to a degree unachievable through traditional exercise, and can increase muscle strength by 29%.
Functional Wellness
The FDA cleared Emsculpt NEO for functional wellness therapy, to improve patients’ range of motion and blood circulation, and to prevent muscle atrophy, restoring lost mobility caused by certain medical conditions or aging. Functional benefits of Emsculpt NEO include:
- Relieving muscle tightness and stiffness to reduce and prevent muscle spasms.
- Increasing the muscles’ oxygen and nutrient levels by improving blood circulation.
- Maintaining range of motion in the hips, knees, arms, and other joints.
- Restoring mind-to-muscle coordination to improve balance.
We recommend Emsculpt NEO in combination with Emsella to improve additional signs of aging, such as urinary incontinence.
Emsella
Emsella is a noninvasive treatment that uses HIFEM energy, similar to Emsculpt NEO, but it targets pelvic floor muscles to relieve urinary incontinence and sexual dysfunction.
Clients sit fully clothed on the Emsella chair, which sends electromagnetic pulses into your pelvic floor. This induces involuntary muscle contraction, strengthening your core muscles 7x more effectively than Kegels.
At BeachGlo Aesthetics, we recommend Emsella to treat 2 types of urinary incontinence:
- Urge Incontinence: The sudden urge to urinate is often caused by weak pelvic floor muscles that can’t support the bladder. Emsella tones these muscles to improve bladder control and reduce premature urination.
- Stress Incontinence: This causes bladder leaks during activities like laughing, coughing, or sneezing. It’s often linked to weak pelvic muscles or organ prolapse. Strengthening these muscles lifts surrounding organs off the bladder, relieving stress incontinence.
When combined with Emsculpt NEO, Emsella can enhance mind-to-muscle coordination and reduce urinary incontinence.
