It\u2019s not anyone\u2019s favorite topic in the world, but we\u2019re here to address it: Love handles. This stubborn fat can be the nightmare that haunts the dressing room, but what if I told you there was a non-invasive and incredibly effective way to tackle this monster in your mid-area?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, your favorite jeans can fit again! Science and technology are catching up to the body goals of the 21st century, and are only getting better. EmSculptNEO has been a revolutionary staple in cosmetic fat reduction, but with the latest Edge applicator, you could see even more rapid and dramatic results in those hard-to-target areas like love handles!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How effective is EmSculpt NEO With Edge Applicator?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

EmSculpt is a traditional body contouring treatment that was created for muscle stimulation, using HIFEM technology to induce muscle contractions \u2013 think of this like a good workout. Worldwide, the EmSculpt body shaping technology has over 1 million treatments<\/a> performed. The NEO in EmSculpt NEO incorporates fat reduction and skin tightening, ultimately developing a more comprehensive treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Edge applicator is the latest addition to this body sculpting technology. It employs a seek design that is more convenient and comfortable for the treatment process \u2013 especially for abdomen sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Makes The Edge Applicator Different From Other EmSculpt NEO Applicators?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The previous EmSculpt NEO could only do so much. In the abdomen for example, this new applicator nurtures the obliques while HIFEM technology and radiofrequency could only target the lateral abdomen. But, that’s all in the past! The new Edge applicator for EmSculpt NEO treatments can effectively target areas that were left underappreciated before \u2013 specifically the flanks and hips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Exactly Are Flanks and Love Handles?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Flanks, sometimes known as love handles, refer to the area on the sides and back of your abdomen, extending from your lower ribs to your hips. The flank itself is just a name for the body part, but the term \u2018love handles\u2019 gets more popular as extra fat accumulates in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Is This Fat So Stubborn?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Love handles are nothing to be ashamed of \u2013 in fact these stubborn inches are just a byproduct of how the human body has learned to store excess fat effectively. The density and type of fat cell that you are targeting can make progress difficult to achieve with diet and exercise alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fat in certain areas, such as the flanks and hips, can be more resistant to traditional methods of reduction because it is considered subcutaneous fat (fat under the skin). This is the body\u2019s energy reserve, so it can be stubborn to lose for adults as the metabolic rate decreases and your body stores more of its intake for energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Non-Invasive and No Downtime<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

EmSculpt NEO is a non-invasive treatment. This means no needles, no cuts, no fuss! You can come in for a non-invasive body contouring treatment and then go about your normal day afterward. After you leave the office, you can go back to work, run errands, or even do a work out if you want!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Often Will I Need EmSculpt NEO Treatment Sessions?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A provider can review your current body type and your goals to assess how many sessions you\u2019ll want to consider and how often you\u2019ll need to come in. Generally speaking, most people will need at least 4 sessions to see impactful results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Long Will It Take To See My Results?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Everybody is different, so body contouring results are also bound to be different. While results vary person to person, EmSculpt NEO results will be the most noticeable around 3 months after the last treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
