Moles

Moles or “nevi” are benign growths of pigment cells that can range in color from flesh-colored to pink and dark brown. Some patients have a very few moles, but some have numerous moles. Many moles are harmless, but heavy and chronic sun exposure, frequent sunburns, tanning bed use, having fair skin, and a genetic predisposition can increase the chances of a mole becoming abnormal (“atypical”) or into a life threatening skin cancer, such as melanoma. When caught early, melanoma has a survival rate of 95% after 5 years. Therefore, early detection is incredibly important. The “ABCDEs” (Asymmetry, Borders that are jagged, Colors that are different, Diameter larger than an eraser on a pencil, and Evolution/enlargement) and sun protection can help prevent skin cancer. Unwanted moles can be easily removed for cosmetic purposes.

FAQs

What is Emsculpt and how does it work?

Emsculpt is a non-invasive, non-surgical body contouring treatment that uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to induce muscle contractions and reduce fat in areas like the abdomen, buttocks, arms, and legs. The device consists of applicators placed on the skin’s surface, delivering HIFEM energy to induce muscle contractions that simulate an intense workout. The treatment is FDA-cleared and painless; each session typically lasts 30 minutes. Emsculpt has been clinically proven to deliver noticeable results in as few as four treatments, making it an effective alternative to invasive surgical procedures or intense exercise regimes for body sculpting.

What are the differences between Emsculpt and Emsculpt Neo?

Emsculpt and Emsculpt Neo are both non-invasive body contouring treatments that use high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to stimulate muscle contractions and reduce fat in areas like the buttocks, abdomen, arms, and legs. However, there are a few key differences between the two treatments:

Technology: While both treatments use HIFEM technology, Emsculpt Neo incorporates radiofrequency (RF) energy to enhance fat reduction and muscle growth.
Treatment Areas: Emsculpt can treat the abdomen and buttocks, while Emsculpt Neo can treat the abdomen, buttocks, arms, and legs.
BMI Range: Emsculpt is recommended for individuals with a BMI of 30 or lower, while Emsculpt Neo can treat individuals with a BMI of up to 35.
Treatment Duration: Emsculpt treatments typically last 30 minutes, while Emsculpt Neo treatments can be completed in 20-30 minutes.

Ultimately, the choice between Emsculpt and Emsculpt Neo will depend on the patient’s specific goals and needs, as well as their BMI and treatment area. Our qualified providers at Laguna Dermatology can help you determine the right treatment to reach your goals.

How long do Emsculpt results last?

Emsculpt results can last several months to a year and can be maintained with a healthy lifestyle and regular exercise. Although noticeable results can be seen after four sessions, they are not permanent, and follow-up sessions may be necessary. It is essential to continue regular exercise and to eat a balanced diet to maintain Emsculpt results. Please consult with our providers at Laguna Dermatology to determine the best course of action to meet your goals!
