Emsculpt Neo for Diastasis is AMAZING!

WORTH IT$3,500
Though it is a tiny price to pay for two wonderful and healthy children, the journey to get my stomach/abs back to a place I feel confident in has been a long one!
My abs were always one of my best assets but after two c-sections in my late thirties, things were very different. After my first daughter everything was fine but after my second I had moderate-severe diastasis (a little more than two fingers width apart) and an umbilical hernia. I figured eventually things would go back to normal with diet, exercise and some targeted core work. I worked out diligently and lost most of the fat off of my stomach but the “pooch” of my abs remained stretched out and just wouldn’t go down.
Prior to babies I worked in the aesthetic field so I was familiar with all of the different devices and though some helped with skin texture/laxity nothing made my stomach or waistline come back “in”. I did physical therapy with a diastasis specialist for 10 weeks, met with two plastic surgeons about tummy tucks (which seemed way overkill for what I wanted to address), and finally met with a general surgeon who told me he couldn’t do much aside from repair the umbilical hernia and that I should just ‘accept my new body and embrace it’. We are our own worst critics, after all! I took his feedback into consideration and decided against surgery but I continued to struggle with the lack of core strength and the issues that caused. I love to workout and lift weights but nothing was the same after two c-sections. My abs were separated, yes, but they were also cut apart twice and if felt like my lower abdominals just weren’t awake. Without being able to fully brace my core I was wobbly and my body tried to compensate by transferring weight and force to my knees, hips and lower back which resulted in many sore nights and trips to PT and chiro.
I had heard about Emsculpt years before but in August of 2021 heard from a friend that it really helped her get strong again in her core. I got the package with Dermatology Center of The Rockies-4 total, 1 every week and I cant say enough about what a HUGE difference it has made.
I started out on a very low level for my first treatment—the abs near my incision weren’t even awake and the sensation of contractions for those lower muscles was very odd but by the end of the first treatment I could tell that things were “waking up”! By the second week we were able to go up quite a bit and I was a little sore afterwards—a great feeling. By the third treatment I felt very strong and after the fourth I noticed an extreme difference aesthetically but also strength wise. I was back to feeling strong!!
The treatments do not hurt and there is no downtime. I brought a book to read and the team at Dermatology Center of the Rockies was very attentive during the treatment.
I came back after 2 months for my follow up pictures and I am absolutely thrilled. What an incredible treatment to have that does so much aesthetically but also functionally.
