When we are young, our muscles continue growing larger until about the age of 30. A few years after that point, muscle deterioration begins, and our muscles begin to lose mass. At NaturallUou, we offer a new approach to fighting back muscle deterioration. BodyTone is an FDA-cleared device that tones the muscles through bio-electrical energy pulses. It’s an easy way to tone and build new muscle mass efficiently.
BodyTone is a muscle toning treatment that is completely non-invasive, involves no recovery, and delivers dramatic results. The system uses four panels that can be placed on different targeted muscle groups. The panels then deliver bio-electrical energy pulses down into the muscles. This energy makes the muscles contract, as with any exercise or movement. But unlike an exercise such as a crunch to tighten and strengthen abdominal muscles, where you can only perform a limited number of repetitions, BodyTone delivers about 20,000 muscle contractions in a 30-minute session. These contractions tone and sculpt the targeted muscle groups.
What are the benefits of doing 20,000 crunches? OK, that might not sound like much fun. If you ever could do that many, how about doing them in 30 minutes? Think of the muscle-building effect that would make. That’s BodyTone at Naturallyou. Some people would say it’s “cheating” to strengthen and define the muscles on your abdomen, arms, or calves with BodyTone. Or to lift your bottom without surgical enhancement. Really? It sounds like a great way to use your time. Thirty minutes of BodyTone equals countless hours at the gym. Our patients gladly take that tradeoff in time spent. BodyTone is FDA-cleared and safe. It’s a great way to feel great about the definition and contours of your body. What’s not to love?
BodyTone isn’t a weight-loss treatment; it’s a body-contouring treatment. These innovative treatments are intended for patients with a BMI of 25 or less. That would be in the “normal” category. BodyTone provides more noticeable results in patients who are thinner and have more muscle visibility. The core strength gains are the same for all patients, but the visible component of these treatments is more prevalent if you are at your ideal BMI for your height. People with implanted devices, such as pacemakers, are not candidates as the energy of BodyTone can interfere with the device.
At NaturallYou, we advise patients to plan for a total of six BodyTone sessions, two per week for three weeks. This delivers the sculpting that patients seek. From there, we recommend maintenance BodyTone treatments every two to six months.
Some patients notice increased muscle tone the day after their treatment. But your real results build over your six treatment sessions.
Many people become frustrated with traditional exercise because it seems that after just a week or two of not working out, they’ve lost much of what they built. It’s different with the high-intensity muscle contractions with BodyTone. After your six BodyTone sessions, your body will continue to build muscle for several weeks. Of course, this will not last forever, but it is different than traditional workouts that way. At Naturallyou, we recommend maintenance BodyTone treatments every two to six months, depending on your individual goals.
When BodyTone delivers the bio-electrical energy into the muscle group, you simply feel the muscles contract. It’s an interesting feeling at first because you did nothing to initiate the contractions, unlike when you perform an exercise or other movement. The frequency of the contractions is a different feeling, but it is not painful.
After your session, your muscles will feel as if you’ve had a good workout. There isn’t any recovery.
The FDA has cleared BodyTone for body contouring. Because BodyTone simply triggers muscle contractions, just as you would with exercise, there aren’t any risks or side effects. Yes, 20,000 muscle contractions, about what a typical session equals, isn’t a naturally attainable number, but BodyTone has been proven to have no side effects. Patients can have some mild muscle soreness, as you would have after a typical workout. You can immediately go back to work or your normal activities after your BodyTone session at NaturallYou.
