by Mia Valleskey | Feb 1, 2022 | EMSCULPT
EMSCULPT is a type of body contouring procedure that utilizes a special device to help burn fat and build muscle. This FDA-approved device will cause the muscles to contract more than someone could do on their own, which helps with muscle mass and fat loss. It’s a remarkable device, and it could be just what you have been looking for to work on those stubborn areas. Of course, you probably still have a few questions about the device and the procedure.
What Is the Procedure Like?
The treatments with the device simply cause muscle contractions that are stronger than what you could do on your own. The device is secured to the area that’s being treated, and then it can start, simple as that. Most of the time the procedures will take between 20 and 40 minutes to complete, but it can vary.
Does the Treatment Hurt?
This is a common question when people undergo any sort of treatment. Fortunately, you will find that the treatment is not going to cause you any pain or discomfort. If you do, you can let me know and I can adjust the intensity of the treatment.
How Much Recovery Time Is Needed?
One of the best things about the device and treatment is that it is non-invasive. It doesn’t require any recovery time at all. You can head in for the treatment and get back to your normal day as soon as you are done. Sometimes, my patients might feel some soreness in their muscles, but this is mild and will not affect their ability to function.
What Are the Risks?
EMSCULPT has been tested to ensure that it is safe. As mentioned, it has been approved by the FDA, so you should not have to worry about any risks or side effects when you choose to use this treatment.
When Will Results Be Noticeable?
The results can be felt as soon as you do the first treatment. The initial results will only get better and better. Most of the time, my patients start to see visible results three months after the treatment, and the results can keep improving for up to six months. Results will typically last for six months to a year before another treatment is needed. Keep in mind that living healthy with the right food and exercise helps to keep those results.
EMSCULPT is a fantastic procedure that can help many people to reduce the amount of fat they have on problem areas of their body. Given the fact that it is a safe procedure and there aren’t any downsides, it may be worth trying for you. If you’re looking for EMSCULPT treatment, be sure to call me to set up your next appointment.

Microneedling is more popular than ever before. It is a quick and relatively painless procedure that allows the skin to repair itself, looking better than before the procedure. When you get this procedure, you can go from seeing imperfections to seeing nearly perfect skin in some instances. Here are some of the amazing benefits that come from microneedling.
Your Skin Can Get Some Amazing Benefits
There are many skin issues that can look better because of microneedling. The procedure is fast and usually takes less than 20 minutes. You can have it done to your face, but there are also other areas on the body it can help, too. Most people get it done on the face, the thighs, or the stomach.
It involves a roller or pen with tiny needles piercing the skin very slightly to signal your body to repair the skin. Your body then sends out more collagen, helping to plump up the area and repair the damage. Once your skin gets repaired, it can cover many minor skin issues, including:
- Scars
- Acne
- Stretch Marks
- Lines and Wrinkles
- Damage from the Sun
- Lower Elasticity of the Skin
- Age Spots
Recovery from microneedling takes a few weeks, and most people see the best results after 4-6 separate treatments. Thankfully, the results can last several months. Once you achieve the desired results, you normally only need appointments twice per year to maintain them. If you notice other problems between appointments, you can also begin a new regimen.

Sticking to a plan involving weight loss triggers many people to think about calorie counting, a lack of tasty food, and a strict workout regimen. While these things are effective, there is more than one way to skin a cat.
Shedding pounds while enjoying the relaxation properties of a body treatment doesn’t have to be a far-fetched idea or goal. It’s much easier to accomplish than you think.
Combining your everyday diet and exercise routine with a body treatment from Beauty and Body by Mia will help you improve your look while you work on shedding the pounds. A little toning can go a long way! Here are a few of the treatments that I offer that can help you achieve your goals.
Emsculpt
Emsculpt is a popular body treatment for men and women wanting to transform their appearance with a slimmer, more sculpted physique.
Emsculpt simultaneously melts away fat, while building, strengthening, and toning muscles of the abdomen, buttocks, upper arms, and upper legs.
Liposonix
This treatment is non-invasive, and FDA approved. It uses high-intensity focused ultrasound to help you purge fat cells and tone your body. The ultrasonic energy heats up and destroys the fat cells, that the body then flushes out on its own. The result is the fat gradually laves the body, making your body thinner and more toned than before.
Radiofrequency
This body treatment is like Liposonix but uses radiofrequency to help you reshape your body. As you work out and lose body fat, it can take time for your body to adjust. This treatment is great for skin aging problems as well to help reduce the excess fatty tissue, cellulite, and wrinkles.
Ultrasound Cavitation Treatments
Finally, there’s a treatment for those stubborn areas that no form of diet and exercise seems to help with. Ultrasound Cavitation Treatments utilizes a process to emulsify trapped fat, convert it to liquid, and then allow the body to naturally expel it. You can also use the radiofrequency treatment to increase skin tone and reduce wrinkles.
Sometimes the body just needs a little extra help while you’re working on your weight loss goals! These treatments that I offer can help you get the look you want without expensive surgery, pain, or downtime.

There are so many decisions to make in regards to skincare, it can be overwhelming. While there are numerous types of facials available, they can all be placed into one of two categories: corrective or preventive. Preventive facials maintain the health and appearance of your skin while corrective facials help with existing problems like acne, fine lines, and pigmentation. The facial that is right for you depends on several factors including your skin type. Therefore, it is important that you meet with a professional aesthetician as you find here at Beauty & Body by Mia, who will put together a treatment plan that will address your issues and keep your skin healthy.
Cleansing Facials
The most common type of facial is the basic or deep cleansing facial. This type of facial removes impurities like sweat, dirt, product build-up, and dead skin cells that have accumulated on the face over time. When these substances are removed from the skin’s pores, they can clog them causing further problems including breakouts and blackheads. The basic facial helps prevent future issues by clearing out toxins that can harm healthy cell function resulting in acne outbreaks or fine lines.
Topical serums or treatments can be used during a facial to target specific concerns. Some serums reduce the appearance of fine lines, deep wrinkles, and pigmentation while others target signs of aging such as loose skin and sagging. Serums are infused into the skin via a machine that delivers controlled amounts of specific ingredients for deeper penetration in order to deliver maximum benefits in a short amount of time. Whether you have acne, dryness, or anything in between, your aesthetician will select a serum based on your skincare needs before cleansing your skin to prepare it for treatment.
Chemical Peels
When it comes to corrective facials, chemical peels provide an excellent way to improve the look and feel of aging and sun-damaged skin by removing the outermost layer of dead cells. Most chemical peels are used on the face, but can also be used on other areas like hands and chest.
