Start Body Sculpting Now and Be Ready for Bikini Season

It’s still winter, but warmer weather will be here before we know it. If you’ve made a goal to lose weight and achieve your body goals before swimsuit season arrives, now is the time to start. Losing weight and getting that toned body takes both time and effort through the use of various weight loss methods. 

However, sometimes it can be difficult to not only find the right strategies but also stick to a weight loss plan. Even if you do follow through, there could be underlying factors working against your efforts to shed extra pounds — or areas of fat that don’t respond to your efforts. 

No matter what’s standing between you and your body goals, our team, led by Ben W. Cilento, MD, MHA, at Butterfly MedSpa and Wellness in Spring and The Woodlands, Texas, wants to help you along the way. We offer various tools to supplement your weight loss journey, including body sculpting. 

Body sculpting treatments can take time to offer optimal results, especially since you need to be close to your goal weight. So, we recommend starting sooner rather than later. 

In this month’s blog, we offer practical weight loss tips and explain how body sculpting works to help boost those results in time to wear that bikini this summer. 

Effective weight loss methods 

There are two things that every effective weight loss journey must include: diet and exercise. However, how you go about those two things matters. 

Fueling for weight loss

Changing what you eat for weight loss needs to be focused on fueling your body properly rather than simply excluding “bad” foods such as carbohydrates and sugar. 

When you fill up on nutrient-dense foods, such as fruits, vegetables, healthy unsaturated fats, lean proteins, and whole grains, you’re not only giving your body what it needs, but you’re also effectively diminishing unhealthy cravings for foods that aren’t quite as nutritious. 

Moving for weight loss

Moving your body burns extra calories that you don’t need for daily functioning. But your workout routine doesn’t need to be extensive or incredibly rigorous. When you aim to exercise for 30-60 minutes every day in a way that’s varied and enjoyable for you, you’re more likely to see results. 

If you find these methods aren’t effective for you, we offer medical weight loss plans to address underlying factors and help you reach your goal weight in a safe, sustainable way. 

Where does body sculpting come in?

When you do lose weight, how can you get rid of the extra “pockets” of fat that are left behind? Or, what if you can’t get that perfectly toned body you’ve been working so hard to attain? Even the best weight loss efforts can’t always eliminate stubborn areas of fat or tone an area you’ve been strengthening for months. That’s what body sculpting is for.

At Butterfly MedSpa and Wellness, our body sculpting services are noninvasive cosmetic procedures that seek to either eliminate stubborn pockets of fat or enhance body tone and build muscle. These aren’t weight loss tools, but they can complement the effort you’ve already put into losing weight and getting a tighter, more toned physique. 

What are my body sculpting options?

Our team offers two different types of body sculpting: EmSculpt® and Exilis™. Let’s take a look at each one.

EmSculpt

EmSculpt eliminates fat and builds muscle by using electromagnetic energy to force a specific, targeted body area, like your abs, to perform supramaximal muscle contractions. 

These muscle contractions are much stronger than any you could perform on your own. By forcing your body to do the equivalent of 20,000 exercises in just 30 minutes, the targeted muscle group must adapt and change all its internal structures. 

Over the course of several sessions, your body effectively eliminates areas of fat and builds noticeable muscle. 

Exilis

Exilis boosts collagen, firms up loose skin, eliminates fat, and improves metabolism through the heat of radiofrequency (RF) energy, a method known as RF skin tightening. By firming up loose skin and producing younger skin cells with more collagen, toned muscle underneath is revealed more readily.
