After having a baby last year, I felt like I couldn’t engage my core anymore. It was getting difficult to lift my now squirming toddler. Dr. Dendy had shared that this treatment would help and I felt so much stronger after just two back to back treatments.
I had lip injection done by Dr. Dendy Engleman. She did an amazing job of assessing my lip symmetry and coming up with what she thought would be the best, natural looking enhancement. They numbed me with cream for about 15 mins and the injections themselves took about 10-15 mins. I had minimal bruising and I am in love with my new lips. Dr. Dendy was knowledgeable and personable and everything you want your cosmetic doctor to be. Highly recommend!
I was being treated with Vanquish and Dr. Engelman recommended coupling the treatment with EmTone for improved results - SO glad I did! The EmTone really improved the toned look in my mid section - despite years of working out and eating well. Plus, no down time is a major win!
Dr. Dendy Engelman is the best doctor I've ever had! She is so kind and patient, extremely knowledgeable and gets the most amazing results for her patients! All of my friends go to her to. We are all thrilled with our experiences with Dr. Engelman!
Dr. Engelman is so helpful, so friendly, and so willing to answer any question--and her staff is just as wonderful. Everyone I came in contact with made my appointments more pleasant. And my Vanquish treatment was amazing! I went in four four Vanquish treatments and then they did a Cellutone treatment each time, too, to improve my results. Totally painless , beyond easy, and my belly is noticeably smaller. Love!
I work out pretty regularly and was just looking to target a little pocket of fat around my stomach. I heard about vanquish after discussing options with doctor--I was looking for minimally invasive and this seemed to fit the bill. After a lot of back and forth in my head, I decided to go for it. A week later I got my first treatment. I was a little nervous but the nurses assured me it didn't hurt. Once they laid me down in the chair and put the device over my belly I relaxed. It was So painless and easy! It took about 45 minutes and it just felt a little warm. I left not looking or feeling much different, which honestly concerned me. My doctor assured me that was normal and it would be a few weeks before I noticed any changes. I did 4 treatments that were spaced apart. I finally started to see results at about the 3rd treatment. My sides began to look slimmer and the little pocket was going down. After the last treatment it was about 30-40 days until I saw a great result. I would say the results were exactly what I was going for. It looked like I had been spending a little more time at the gym but targeted the areas I needed! It also motivated me to eat better and exercise more to keep the results--bonus!
EmSculpt works on the muscles so with tighter/bigger muscles the skin redrapes differently. For skin tightening I like Lumenis NuEra Tight which is a radiofrequency device that stimulates all three aspects of the dermal components—collagen, elastin, and extracellular matrix polysaccharides like hyaluronic acid. It can be very effective in increasing the density of the dermis, which is the problem we are trying to combat. It improves the overall smoothness of the skin structure, thus improving the appearance of skin laxity and cellulite. EmTone is also a great option for tightening the skin and helping with laxity. It uses ultrasound and radiofrequency to help build collagen and elastin and tighten the skin.
It depends on desired results but there is such a thing as too much! In our practice we recommend two treatments a week for two consecutive weeks. Depending on the patient, they may need more treatments to achieve desired results. Once results are achieved patients can come back once a month for maintenance.
EmSculpt has not been studied for patients who are breastfeeding. The risk is for people who have just given birth as the body needs time to heal. EmSculpt does help for patients who have Diastasis Recti as a result of their pregnancy.
EmSculpt works on muscles and can strengthen the back to eliminate the appearance of bra bulge. However to target fat, we recommend CoolSculpting, injectable deoxycholic acid, or lipo.
EmSculpt is approved for the abdomen, buttocks, arms, calves and thighs. The most common area patients at Shafer Clinic start with are the abdomen and buttocks then they move on to thighs and arms.
