What we treat
Stubborn fat and muscle tone
The lower abdomen that does not change no matter how many planks you do. Flanks, inner thighs, the back of the arms. You are fit, or close to it, and one or two areas refuse to cooperate. That is the patient this treatment is for.
Why it happens
Everyone is born with a fixed number of fat cells in each area, and some areas are simply programmed to hold on. Diet and exercise shrink fat cells but do not remove them, and they cannot target one spot. Muscle tone is the other half: a flat, defined abdomen is as much about the muscle underneath as the fat on top.
What we recommend
Emsculpt Neo
Thirty minutes on the table. Electromagnetic pulses contract the muscle about 20,000 times while radiofrequency heats and reduces the fat layer above it. Four sessions over two weeks. Studies show roughly 25 percent more muscle and 30 percent less fat in the treated area, with results visible at about three months. No downtime; you will feel like you did an intense workout.
When the question is bigger than one area
If weight overall is the concern, a device is the wrong starting point. Dr. Donlan addresses metabolism, hormones and, where appropriate, medication through his medical practice, Donlan Medical.
What we would tell you honestly
Emsculpt Neo is for people within about 15 pounds of their goal who want to finish the job in one or two areas. It is not weight loss. If your BMI is above roughly 35, we will tell you the device will not do what you want, and we will point you to what will.
Want to know whether you are a good candidate?
Book a consultation. Dr. Donlan will examine your skin, listen to what is bothering you, and recommend a plan. Sometimes that plan is one treatment. Sometimes it is no treatment yet.
