A new year opens the door to new opportunities, hence why so many of us make New Year’s resolutions to get into better shape. However, many of us promise ourselves to hit the gym every day, and going from once a month to daily can lead to a rapid decline from exhaustion. In fact, 80% of January gym memberships end within 5 months of starting them.
We’re not here to shame you! We understand that your lifestyle may require you to prioritize other aspects above exercise. Plus, some of us didn’t win the genetic lottery which makes losing weight in your problem areas even more difficult (even when sticking to a healthy routine).
So, what can you do to achieve your dream physique outside of the gym? Body contouring is a great non-invasive option for men and women of all ages and backgrounds! Meet Emsculpt: a groundbreaking contouring technology that goes beyond fat reduction, and tones your muscles at the same time. The experts at Boho Chic Clinique have built this exclusive rundown for those considering Emsculpt in Mattoon and the greater central Illinois area.
Why is losing weight (and keeping it off) so hard?
Most of us have gone through the endless cycle of an on and off weight loss journey, especially around the holiday season. The key to shedding the pounds and keeping them off is consistency, which can be difficult not only thanks to unavoidable schedule changes, but also internal changes like hormonal shifts. As you lose weight, your metabolism also slows, making it increasingly more difficult to maintain.
Hormones are responsible for much more than just your libido, from your muscle definition to your overall mood. Your hormone production can experience shifts due to pregnancy, menopause, depression, and much more. This can not only affect the longevity of your workouts thanks to a drop in your energy, but your ability to get moving in the first place.
Everyone’s body is unique, so there’s no universal diet and exercise routine that will help you drop pounds and tone your muscles the way you want. Genetics play a big part in this, from your appetite level to your fat distribution. With 43% of the U.S. population being predisposed to obesity, not seeing the same results as your friends and mentors can knock your confidence. Enter Emsculpt NEO!
What Emsculpt technology is
Emsculpt NEO is an advanced body contouring technology that uses radiofrequency technology to target unwanted fat and stimulate muscle growth. This non-invasive treatment combines RF (radiofrequency) waves with HIFEM+ (high intensity electromagnetic energies) through specialized applicators to address your specific problem areas.
Unlike alternatives such as CoolSculpting and liposuction, Emsculpt in Mattoon goes beyond non-surgical fat reduction by defining your muscles simultaneously! By gently heating the treatment area through the Emsculpt applicators, prepping your muscles like a warm-up before a workout, this heat then reaches fat levels beneath the surface. This induces apoptosis of the fat cells, killing them so that your body can dispose of them naturally.
Meanwhile, we harness HIFEM energy to induce muscle contractions at intensity levels beyond possible during a workout. Depending on the treatment area, this essentially feels like a crunch, squat, or curl. Overall, clinical studies have shown a 30% reduction in fat and a 25% increase in muscle volume. However, Emsculpt is not an alternative to exercise. Rather, it supplements weight loss and muscle toning for faster and more defined results.
Treatable areas
Now that basketball season is in full swing, many of us are spending hours cheering on our team from the bleachers. Aside from the seating being uncomfortable, it can also lead to the dreaded bleacher butt!
Emsculpt in Mattoon is FDA-cleared to reduce unwanted fat and tone muscle in the following areas:
- Abdomen
- Buttocks
- Arms (When you purchase an Emsculpt package for the triceps or biceps, you’ll get the other on us!)
- Thighs
- Calves
While Emsculpt isn’t designed to address facial skin laxity, EMFACE is! EMFACE uses similar RF energy through targeted patches to increase collagen production and tone facial muscles, serving as a nonsurgical facelift in Effingham without the needles.
How Emsculpt is different than other body contouring treatments
If you’re weighing the pros and cons of CoolSculpting, liposuction, and Emsculpt, read this first!
While CoolSculpting and Emsculpt are both forms of body sculpting in Charleston, CoolSculpting doesn’t offer muscle toning. CoolSculpting technology relies on cryolipolysis to freeze and kill fat cells, rather than stimulating exercise through contractions. Because Emsculpt in Mattoon works by simulating a workout, there’s far less associated risk and you can achieve a more toned physique, not just mimic one!
Unlike liposuction, Emsculpt requires no anesthesia, incisions, or downtime. Liposuction is an invasive surgery that consists of removing fatty tissue through an incision in the skin. Again, this option does not aid muscle growth and bears its own risks related to 4-6 week recovery.
How to find a reputable Emsculpt specialist near you
Body contouring isn’t an area you want to bargain shop in. Doing your research on the best provider before your treatment is not only key to ensuring your results, but also your safety. If you fall victim to an alarmingly good deal, you may end up having to pay more in the long run undoing those mistakes.
When you begin your search for the best clinic that provides Emsculpt in Mattoon, start with a simple google search. From here, you can browse potential providers’ website and get to know their mission, approach, treatment options, and experience (bonus points for helpful tools like “Schedule an appointment” and “Get an instant consultation”!). You can also check out their social media accounts to get to know their staff better and get an inside look at their methods.
Next, browse their online reviews to see what real patients are saying about the office, staff, and their experience. Beyond checking for a 5-star overall rating, look for what patients have to say about their Emsculpt experience specifically. Keep an eye out for mentions about personalization, as your provider tailoring their care to you is key to achieving your unique goals! Finally, browse their results gallery to see their work in-action and schedule your consultation; and don’t hesitate to shop around before scheduling a treatment.

Your provider will help you get comfortable in a position that allows for easy access to the treatment area. We’ll then apply the applicator directly to your skin, adjusting the intensity as needed to ensure your comfort. You should never feel any form of pain, but rather the natural muscle contraction you’d experience during a workout.

Immediately after your session, we’ll schedule your next visit (keep in mind that most patients require 4 sessions). There’s zero downtime, so feel free to return to work and physical activity as per usual!
