Build visible muscle tone using focused electromagnetic energy, offered by our board-certified dermatologist-led team in Nashville, TN.
Body Contouring
Getting visibly more defined abs, glutes, or arms usually takes months of consistent, targeted training -- and even then, genetics and time constraints mean some people never quite get there through the gym alone. Muscle toning treatments use focused electromagnetic energy to contract muscles far more intensely than a voluntary workout can, building visible tone and definition in a fraction of the time.
Each session triggers thousands of supramaximal muscle contractions in the treated area -- more than you could produce through exercise alone -- which is what allows this treatment to build noticeable muscle tone and definition over a relatively short series of sessions. It's a genuine complement to fitness, not a replacement for it: patients who are already active tend to see the clearest results.
Correctly positioning the treatment applicators over the target muscle groups, and building a session plan suited to your body and goals, is where real expertise comes in. That's why treatment planning at Progressive Dermatology is led by our board-certified dermatologists, who tailor the applicator placement and session cadence to the muscle groups you actually want to define.
There's no downtime involved -- some patients feel muscle soreness similar to an intense workout, but normal activity resumes immediately afterward. Most patients complete a series of sessions over several weeks to see their full results, with definition continuing to build for weeks after the series ends.
If you're already close to your goal physique and want more visible definition without more time in the gym, Progressive Dermatology in Nashville, TN can help you build a plan around the areas that matter most to you.
Areas where you'd like more visible muscle tone and definition, most often the abdomen, buttocks, arms, and thighs. Emsculpt® and CoolTone® use high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy to trigger deep muscle contractions.
None -- some patients feel muscle soreness similar to an intense workout, but there's no real recovery time and normal activity resumes immediately.
