Great Abs at 53!
Just before Covid shut everything down, I was able to complete a series of 5 Emsculpt treatments to my abdomen and completely love the results!
Back story, I have always had a belly pooch, and I've tried everything short of surgery to correct it. Coolsculpting was my first try which failed miserably, worsening my belly fat problem with an under reported side effect called, Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia - read up on this if you're thinking about Coolsculpting!! I would have NEVER opted for this treatment had I known about this possible side effect. After being told by my GP and OBGyn that my big, hard stomach fat was just part of "getting older" and "it happens to everyone". I felt I was on my own to find answers, something wasn’t right and I started searching for ways to improve it. My next try, VanquishMe was a great treatment that reversed the hardness of the condition, took an inch and a half off my waistline and tightened the skin. It was a great success and although it was expensive, I was thrilled that it fixed the unnatural condition caused by Collsculpting. My self confidence returned and I was feeling good again. A couple years later I wanted more, I wanted visible abs! I was impressed with the new technology of Emsculpt because it could shrink fat and build muscle. I searched for a provider and realized it was beyond my budget, then I found an incredible offer on Groupon! Of course I was skeptical, it seemed to good to be true, so I stopped into the office to find out more. Dr. Bela Glantsman at Cordial Medical Spa was happy to explain the process and even showed me the machine. Her office is in a medical building it’s not a big, fancy spa, but I don’t need sparkly chandeliers and scented candles, I just need quality care at a fair price. It was perfect, I bought a 6 treatment package and scheduled my first session for the very next day. I left feeling like I had a new friend in my corner and was very comfortable with my decision to go forward. I also added a couple Exilis Ultra treatments for some extra fat burning and skin tightening on my belly.The first session was REALLY intense!! It was a strange feeling but it wasn't uncomfortable and certainly not painful. I made it up to 80% intensity during the first session. The next day I was sore! Still feeling it when I went for my second visit 3 days later, I was able to go up to 100%, it’s much easier when you know what to expect and WOW did I feel that one! It was hard to sit up when the 30 min session was over and the next morning I had to roll off the bed, lol. I scheduled all my treatments 3 days apart as recommended, and remained at 100% intensity throughout. The 3rd treatment was a bit uncomfortable, only because of my period, it never occurred to me to ask about this, LADIES, avoid this week if you're doing your tummy! (Gentlemen, I’m sorry you had to read that!) The 4th and 5th treatments seemed easier as I was getting stronger each time. The results were better than expected, so for my 6th and final treatment, I chose a treatment to my butt. I've got a really strong booty and have always gotten compliments regarding my backside, still I was curious, could it get even better? The treatment on my bottom was lack luster compared to my first abdomen treatment so I didn’t feel the need to buy another package for this area. I am however considering another package for the upper arms, I have abs for the first time in my life, why not bring on the gun show! Bottom line, I love EmSculpt! It's been a year since my first treatment and while I still look great and feel strong, I’m kind of addicted to the crazy intense workout feeling so I’ve started maintenance treatments. It's inspired me to get back in the gym and start doing the real work again. As an added bonus, having a stronger core has also improved my posture and greatly reduced my chronic lower back pain. I'm 53 yrs old and have maintained a healthy lifestyle throughout my adult life but I can honestly say I’ve never been happier with my body! I highly recommend this treatment and Dr. Bela Glantsman at Cordial Medspa.
