It may be hard to imagine how body contouring can help your actual physical health, but studies show that improving your self-esteem and having a positive outlook can actually boost your overall health.
At Vitality Medical Wellness Center, we can help you look and feel better with body sculpting near Franklin, TN. Here, we’ll talk about each of our body contouring treatments and how aesthetics can help boost your mental and physical health.
How Looking Good Helps You Feel Good
While the exact correlation between self-esteem and better health is not entirely understood, scientists believe that those who feel more confident in their looks and their demeanor have more activation of the ventral striatum. Located deep within the brain, the ventral striatum is responsible for motivation and emotional processing, as it helps decrease the production of cortisol, the stress hormone. While cortisol is a natural hormone made by the human body, having higher levels of cortisol can cause DNA damage, resulting in alterations in the DNA methylation patterns and potential gene expression. By lowering the amount of cortisol you have, you can stay healthier for longer.
How to Lower Cortisol
There are many ways to lower cortisol—meditating, exercising, pursuing a hobby, taking adaptogenic herbs, and PEMF therapy to name a few. One way to lower cortisol is to have better self-esteem, which may seem hard at first, but is made easy with our treatments for body sculpting in Franklin, TN.
Exion
Exion is a body sculpting treatment that combines heat from both radiofrequency and targeted ultrasound to melt fat and tighten skin. As a noninvasive treatment, it helps deliver deep heat without causing discomfort.
Emsculpt NEO
Emsculpt NEO combines radiofrequency and high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy into one treatment. This helps build up to 25% more muscle mass and decrease stubborn fat by up to 30%.
Vampire Breast Lift
This noninvasive breast lift uses platelets drawn from your own blood to stimulate your body’s own natural healing capabilities and lift your breasts. With just a few injections, you can see smoother, firmer and perkier breasts—all without surgery!
RF Microneedling
RF microneedling is another treatment that uses radiofrequency, but this time pairs it with microneedling to stimulate collagen and elastin production. These natural proteins work to deliver smoother, younger-looking skin by creating healthy new skin cells.
Emface
Emface is a facial contouring treatment that uses similar technology to that of Emsculpt NEO and applies it to your face. This helps to lift your facial features, restoring volume and reducing wrinkles and fine lines.
