CINCINNATI (WKRC) — As summer approaches, those seeking a toned physique might find help in new body sculpting technology.
Dr. Elizabeth Muennich, CEO and President of Dermatology & Skin Care Associates, explained that the noninvasive procedure can assist with muscle tone, though it is not a substitute for diet and exercise.
“This is basically a radio frequency heat and then you can follow that with their flex which is a radiofrequency muscle contraction and that is doing about 30,000 sit-ups in about a half an hour,” said Dr. Muennich.
Amanda turned to this technology after multiple abdominal surgeries made traditional workouts difficult.
“It’s really hard for me to workout my abdominal area,” she said.
Dr. Muennich’s practice offers what she refers to as a “medical gym,” where patients can undergo treatments that simulate intense exercise.
“We can actually fine tune the muscle contractions to what we need to do and what we need to accomplish,” she said.
Amanda shared her experience, noting significant improvements.
“It has actually brought my skin up and I’ve been able to wear jeans for the first time in 10 years. Now the fat is melted, I can see more definition and it just encourages me to keep going,” she said.
The procedure, however, comes at a cost of several thousand dollars for multiple sessions and is typically not covered by medical insurance.
