The joys of motherhood are abundant. As you hold your baby in your arms, we’re sure the only thought in your mind is how perfect this child is.
However, when your child finally goes to sleep, you may take a moment to focus on yourself and realize you don’t recognize the person in the mirror. Pregnancy and childbirth bring significant bodily changes. While the journey of motherhood is beautiful, the resulting physical and emotional changes may make it difficult to adjust.
Stretch marks, loose skin, and excess fat are common reasons mothers visit us for a nonsurgical mommy makeover in Loudoun County. At Avie! Med Spa & Laser Center, we offer non-invasive treatments to help restore your body and tighten your skin so you feel like you again.
This customizable treatment provides aesthetic and functional benefits for mothers. It all starts with a consultation to discuss your specific concerns so we can tailor a nonsurgical mommy makeover for you.
Emsculpt NEO: Target Excess Fat and Build Muscle
It’s common for mothers to experience a visible bulge above or below their belly button after giving birth. We know this as diastasis recti, which happens when your abdominal muscles stretch out and separate during pregnancy. And this “pooch” can be difficult to get rid of even with exercise.
Using Emsculpt NEO, we can strengthen the separated abdominal muscles to minimize the effects of this condition. It also melts fat, giving you a slimmer and more toned appearance.
How does it work?
This device utilizes 2 technologies for body contouring: high-intensity focused electromagnetic stimulation (HIFEM) and radiofrequency (RF) energy.
The HIFEM energy from this nonsurgical mommy makeover in Loudoun County induces up to 20,000 contractions in just 30 minutes, which build muscle in the target area. Simultaneously, RF energy generates deep heat in your subcutaneous fat, located just beneath your skin’s surface.
As the abdominal area heats up, it induces apoptosis (cell death) and permanently reduces fat. During your session, you shouldn’t feel discomfort. Most patients compare the Emsculpt NEO to a hot stone massage or a comfortable, warming sensation..
Emsculpt NEO boasts a high success rate. In clinical trials, patients noticed the following results:
- 30% fat reduction
- 25% muscle growth
- 29% increase in muscle strength
What other areas does it treat?
We can treat more than your abdominal area. We also recommend it for:
- Arms
- Thighs
- Calves
- Buttocks
- Love handles
How many sessions will I need?
Typically, we recommend 4 to 6 sessions, but this can vary for each patient. Because giving birth impacts every mother’s body differently, we can determine your specific treatment plan during your in-person consultation.
When will I see results?
Results appear gradually and become more noticeable as you continue your sessions. After 3 months, you should see a significant improvement in your body contours. However, results may vary depending on other treatments paired with this for your nonsurgical mommy makeover in Loudoun County.
CoolSculpting Elite: Localized Fat Reduction
Some of your pregnancy weight remains after you give birth, which may have you feeling less like yourself lately. While eating a nutrient-dense diet and exercising regularly helps with reducing fat, certain areas of women’s bodies are resistant to any attempts at weight loss. That’s because our bodies’ genes and hormones determine where and how our bodies distribute and store extra fat.
For those areas of fat that just won’t budge, we recommend the CoolSculpting Elite. Although this body sculpting treatment doesn’t build muscle, it works great for targeted fat reduction.
How does CoolSculpting Elite work?
You’ve heard of burning fat; well, this option freezes it instead. Using the process of cryolipolysis, CoolSculpting Elite targets fat cells and eliminates them using freezing temperatures. Your body then permanently removes these cells through the lymphatic drainage system.
Fat cells are more susceptible to damage from cold temperatures than surrounding tissues and cells. So while this process removes fat, it leaves your skin and other underlying structures undamaged. Additionally, the cold infusion does stimulate collagen and elastin production, resulting in subtly tighter skin in the treatment area.
During this session for a nonsurgical mommy makeover in Loudoun County, you’ll notice mild sensations of pulling and tugging. After about 5 minutes your body becomes numb, you won’t feel the cooling effects anymore.
You can expect to see a 50% reduction of fat in the treated area after 2 rounds of CoolSculpting.
What areas of the body does CoolSculpting Elite treat?
You can use CoolSculpting Elite in the following areas of the body:
- Love handles
- Abdomen
- Thighs
- Arms
How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions you need depends on your treatment plan. For most patients, you should only require 1 to 2 sessions, which we know is ideal for all new mothers.
When will I see results?
CoolSculpting Elite delivers results in as little as 1 day to 2 weeks.
You may notice quicker results when paired with other treatments for your nonsurgical mommy makeover.
Emtone: Cellulite Reduction
Many women notice increased cellulite during or after pregnancy. Typically, this is because their estrogen levels decline, reducing blood circulation throughout the body, resulting in less collagen production. Your fat cells may also expand, contributing to the dimpled appearance on your skin.
Emtone is the only cellulite treatment for a nonsurgical mommy makeover in Loudoun County. Although researchers haven’t discovered a cure for this skin-dimpling condition that 80 to 90% of women have, Emtone provides long-lasting results.
For Emtone, we also recommend pairing your cellulite treatment with the Skinade Cellulite Drink for firmer, smoother skin. Enriched with collagen peptides, vitamin A, and red clover extract—among many other ingredients, this drink increases blood flow, balances hormones, and minimizes water retention. You can learn more about other drinks and supplements to support your mommy makeover journey by visiting our website.
How does Emtone work?
Emtone combines RF heating and targeted pressure energy (TPE) to break up the bands of tissue that form cellulite. These 2 technologies boost your collagen production, resulting in a smoother and more supple skin texture.
How many sessions will I need?
Most mothers need 4 to 6 sessions, but this depends on the type of cellulite they have and if they combine Emtone with other treatment options. We will give you a better idea when you come into our office for a consultation.
When will I see results?
You’ll notice initial results in as little as 2 weeks after your first session. As a reminder, these results are not permanent, but can last 4 to 6 months. With maintenance sessions, you can maintain the results for smoother skin.
Emsella: For Urinary Incontinence
It’s normal, though not often discussed, for women to experience urinary incontinence during pregnancy and after childbirth. Your body changes a lot to accommodate your growing baby during pregnancy: the uterus stretches, and more pressure is placed on your bladder. Your pelvic floor, which supports your pelvic organs, weakens during delivery. This results in stress incontinence, which causes you to pee when you cough, sneeze, or laugh—to name a few examples.
For your nonsurgical mommy makeover in Loudoun County, we can provide relief from this uncomfortable condition. The Emsella chair not only strengthens your pelvic floor muscles but also improves sexual health and satisfaction.
How does Emsella work?
Using electromagnetic energy, the Emsella chair triggers 11,000 supramaximal pelvic floor muscle contractions. Similar to kegel exercises, but more effective, this treatment rehabilitates and rebuilds your pelvic floor muscles painlessly.
The HIFEM energy also improves vaginal canal tightness and can increase sensation, making intimate moments with your partner much more enjoyable.
How many sessions will I need?
Most mothers may need 6 or more sessions for optimal relief from stress incontinence. We can discuss the frequency of visits and number of treatments during your consultation.
When will I notice the results?
Results become more noticeable after your first 2 to 3 sessions and can last anywhere between 6 and 12 months. For long-lasting relief, we can schedule maintenance sessions to keep your pelvic floor muscles strong.
Enhance Your Results
These mommy makeover options complement each other, sculpting and contouring your body while alleviating discomfort from stress incontinence. For enhanced results, we recommend the following treatments or products:
Microneedling
For stretch marks and loose skin especially, we recommend microneedling, which creates tiny micro-channels in your skin. These tiny wounds trigger your body’s natural healing response, producing collagen and elastin to increase skin cell turnover and tighten the treatment area. For your nonsurgical mommy makeover in Loudoun County, microneedling can improve your skin texture and tone, giving you a full body glow.
IV Therapy
Support your mommy makeover journey from the inside out. Our IV Therapy delivers vital nutrients directly to your bloodstream, where they reach cells quicker than other methods like oral supplements. Our infusions can support skin health, weight loss, and abdominal discomfort.
Alastin TransFORM Body Treatment
Avie! sells the Alastin TransForm Body Treatment to hydrate your skin and support collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production. This product aids your body contouring treatments in removing fat cells while maintaining the integrity of your skin’s structure.
FAQ
We know you may still have some questions regarding the nonsurgical mommy makeover, so we’re here to help.
Will these treatments work for me?
We commonly have new mothers feeling skeptical about these treatments, wondering if they will be effective. We determine if you’re the right candidate for our nonsurgical mommy makeover options by assessing the type of fat, your body mass index (BMI), and other candidacy factors. It’s best to come into our office for an in-person consultation, so we can discuss which options will help you regain your confidence.
How soon after childbirth can I start my nonsurgical mommy makeover journey?
With your safety as our top priority, we require medical clearance from your doctor to begin treatment. Generally, it’s advised to wait 6 weeks before starting your journey, but this looks different for everyone.
Can I get microneedling on my loose belly skin?
Microneedling works on all areas of the body, not just the face. We highly recommend microneedling for stretch marks and loose skin, as it encourages skin cell turnover and collagen production. You can use this as a standalone treatment, but we highly recommend pairing it with body contouring devices for optimal results.
