How to Use Body Sculpting Machine

Have you undergone significant weight loss after bariatric surgery, leaving you with sagging skin? Whether you want to improve your body shape, lift loose skin, or promote a youthful appearance, body contouring machines can change your life forever. But if you are new to them, it's natural to wonder how to use body sculpting machines to achieve your desired aesthetic goals.

Today, we will discuss everything you should know about using body sculpting machines. You will learn about the various types of body contouring machines, safety tips and precautions, and the results you should expect from effective body toning technology.

Let's first talk about the various types of body sculpting machines available.

Types of Body Sculpting Machines

Fat-Freezing (Cryolipolysis) Machines

 

Ultrasonic cavitation machines are advanced body sculpting devices that use low-frequency ultrasound energy to break down tissues with low fibre content. It's a non-surgical, body contouring, less-expensive alternative to liposuction that breaks apart fat cells to help you achieve a contoured physique. It's essential to keep in mind that ultrasonic cavitation is not a weight loss solution; therefore, if you are considering giving it a try, make sure that you know how the process works to understand what it can deliver.

Ultrasonic cavitation technology delivers ultrasound waves deep into the layers of your skin, causing a disruptive vibration in your body's liquid medium. This results in the breakdown of fat cells and the release of their contents. After some days, these contents are then naturally absorbed by your body's lymphatic system.

Ultrasonic cavitation can provide the most effective results in the hips, love handles, buttocks, stomach, and thighs.

Radiofrequency (RF) Machines  

 

It's another cutting-edge skin tightening, fat reduction, and body contouring technology suitable for those willing to reap the benefits of improved collagen production, skin elasticity, and firmness. Radiofrequency body sculpting machines are believed to harness the power of monopolar or bipolar RF technology. Monopolar RF, ideal for larger body areas, employs RF energy that goes deep into the skin through a single electrode. It's effective in heating targeted tissues and stimulating collagen production.

On the other hand, bipolar RF skin tightening technology uses two electrodes placed in close proximity to target a more superficial skin layer. This technology works best on delicate areas such as the face and neck. The best part? It can effectively reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

When an RF machine delivers controlled heat energy, it triggers your body's natural healing process. Your body then starts producing more collagen to compensate for the heat damage, resulting in firmer and more youthful skin.

If your primary focus is to tighten sagging skin in delicate areas of your body, including the eyes and mouth, RF machines can be of great assistance. They can also help you diminish the appearance of dimpled skin on thighs and buttocks (cellulite). RF technology is also known for its targeted fat-reduction capability, which can help you achieve a more sculpted silhouette.

EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) Machines

Are you a healthy individual who needs to rebuild muscle mass after a recent injury? You may also be someone willing to participate in conventional exercise training programs. Studies show that EMS machines can boost muscle mass by up to 1% and improve muscle function by 10 to 15% in just 5 to 6 weeks.

Electrical Muscle Stimulation, neuromuscular electrical stimulation, or electromyostimulation, is a type of electrotherapy that uses electrical impulses to stimulate your motor neurons. This stimulation causes your muscles to contract fast, enhancing muscle strength and motor abilities. When you use an EMS device at home, the electrical impulses mimic the signals sent from the central nervous system of your body to your muscles. Your body recognizes that there's a stimulus. It reacts to it by triggering muscle contractions that are so intense and frequent that it helps tone your muscles, increase muscle strength, define your muscles, and enhance overall body shape.

Using an EMS machine has other benefits, including decreased muscle pain, tissue healing, and improved sports performance.

Now that we have discussed everything you need to know about the different types of body sculpting machines, it's time to uncover how to use a body contouring machine at home.  

Step-by-Step Guide: Using a Body Sculpting Machine at Home

Using body sculpting machines at home does not have to be a complex task. Follow these steps if you are ready to get that much-desired sculpted look at home.

Preparation Steps

First things first. For example, if you are using the machine on your face, first, remove makeup and grease from your face with gentle makeup-removing oil so that there's no makeup residue left. Then, use a gentle, oil-free cleanser to wash your face and make sure it's dirt-free. After cleansing, you might need to exfoliate, especially if you have dry or rough skin.

Exfoliation helps enhance the effectiveness of the machine and the ultrasound waves that penetrate your skin. Preparation also includes staying hydrated before the treatment to improve the results even more.

Setting up the Machine  

After connecting the machine to the power supply, thoroughly sanitise its probe before turning the device on. Follow all the safety guidelines mentioned in the manual. Now, it's time to adjust the intensity depending on the treatment area and your tolerance level. If you are using the machine on your face and neck, you may want to start with a low-intensity setting.

Applying the Machine to Targeted Areas

Now, apply gel evenly to your face and launch the machine. Select the household button on the machine and choose the face tightening option. Press the start button. Use the RF and suction probe for 10 minutes. Move the device to the back of the ear along the lower jaw and slide it to the side of the neck. Repeat this step 3 to 5 times.

Set the suction according to your tolerance level. Move the probe slowly from the chin to the part below the ear corner of the mouth to the middle ear and the wing of the nose to the place above the ear. Repeat 3 to 5 times.

Parameters (such as time, energy, and mode) are default; you can adjust them according to your tolerance level. The default mode for suction and release is M3. You are free to adjust the mode manually. Lift the device from the brow ridge towards the hairline and repeat this 3 to 5 times.

Post-Session Care

Once you are done with the treatment, clean the treatment area. Wipe off any remaining gel and apply a soothing moisturiser. After treatment, make sure you stay hydrated, as this helps to flush out the broken-down fat cells and promote healing. Avoid excessive sun exposure if your treatment involves skin resurfacing. Refrain from using harsh chemicals and exfoliants for 24 hours after the first session.

Safety Tips and Precautions 

• Consult your doctor for any underlying health conditions or certain skin disorders before using a body sculpting machine at home. 
• Don't use a body contouring machine if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
• The optimal frequency of use varies depending on the machine and your goals. It's best to use your body sculpting machine thrice a week for up to 15 minutes each. 
• Give your body at least 48 hours of time between sessions to ensure optimal results and no side effects.

Expected Results and When to Expect Them 

Individual body sculpting results vary. Various factors can impact results, including your diet, lifestyle, metabolism, physical activity, and the specific device you are using.

You may notice immediate results after the treatment, but they may not be permanent. You must be patient and consistent for up to 4 to 6 months after starting body sculpting treatment to see the actual results. 

To maximise safe body sculpting at home results, maintain a healthy lifestyle. Keep in mind that consistency is key. Stick to your treatment plan and be patient. It takes time for your body to respond to the treatments.
