After the birth of a child, the body can look different than before pregnancy. Skin and tissue stretch to offer the baby space, protection and good development. This can leave excess, sagging tissue on the abdomen after pregnancy. The abdominal muscles are also often stretched, which can lead to them losing their firmness and also slackening. Postnatal gymnastics and targeted training do not always bring the hoped-for success or cannot be carried out in every case. Treatment with StimSure® is an effective supplement or alternative. It addresses the muscles directly and thus helps to shape the after-baby body harmoniously and strengthen the muscles.
What is a Mommy Makeover?
The term Mommy Makeover refers to aesthetic or cosmetic procedures after pregnancy and childbirth to optimize the body. In the classic sense, this mainly refers to surgical procedures such as breast lifts, tummy tucks or intimate surgery. In a broader sense, however, all treatments that tighten, slim and refresh the body’s appearance after pregnancy can be included. Minimally invasive treatments such as Botox®, hyaluronic acid, PRP, HydraFacial®, StimSure® and Emsella® can also be part of an individual mommy makeover. The aim is for the patient to feel completely comfortable again and to be able to radiate this.
How is the body shaped with StimSure®?
StimSure® generates an electromagnetic field that specifically stimulates and contracts the muscles. As with conventional training, the muscles are stressed and strengthened in this way. The decisive difference is that with StimSure® the muscles are stimulated 100 percent. This achieves a training effect that is not possible with “normal” exercises. More than 20,000 muscle contractions take place during the 20 to 30-minute session.
After the birth, the muscles in the abdominal area can be tightened and built up in this way. This also helps to shape the figure and reduce excess fat deposits more easily, as strong muscles promote fat burning. StimSure® can also be combined with other minimally invasive treatments. One example of this is SculpSure® WarmSculpting™. Stubborn localized fat deposits are literally melted and reduced through the targeted application of heat. In addition, the heat ensures collagen formation and a harmonious tightening of the region – a perfect combination for a beautiful after-baby body.
When can treatment begin after the birth?
As StimSure® is a very gentle form of treatment, you can start actively supporting the muscles as early as two weeks after the birth. StimSure® places little strain on the body and there is no risk of injury or similar. The strain on the muscles can only lead to muscle soreness, which also occurs during conventional training.
You will be under the supervision of a specialist at our institute so that the treatment is absolutely safe for you. Dr. Kors will discuss all the details of the StimSure® treatment with you in advance and clarify possible contraindications. The intervals between the individual treatment sessions are also determined individually, because as with all training, discipline and regular repetition are important for success with StimSure®.
Are there any risks?
The risks of StimSure® are low and are reduced to a minimum, above all through expert and experienced use. It is a very safe procedure. Mild muscle pain and soreness may occur temporarily after the treatment. The intensity varies from person to person. As a rule, however, this is well tolerated – like a “normal” sore muscle. Occasionally, muscle cramps and reddening of the skin may also occur. In some women, the intense stimulation can trigger premature menstruation. In addition, some women may bleed more heavily than usual. However, this is not normally a cause for concern.
Other gentle treatments for a mommy makeover
In addition to StimSure® and the aforementioned WarmSculpting™ for fat reduction and body contouring, we also offer a gentle treatment for the pelvic floor area at our institute: BTL Emsella®. The device also generates a highly focused electromagnetic field that primarily stimulates the pelvic floor and core muscles. These areas in particular can be weakened after pregnancy and childbirth, which often leads to bladder weakness, among other things. Emsella® strengthens the muscles and reduces bladder weakness. Emsella® also has the advantage that the treatment can have a positive effect on individual sexual desire. In this way, the treatment contributes to a greater sense of well-being and light-heartedness in everyday life. Emsella® treatment can take place around six weeks after delivery, as soon as everything has healed without complications.
Disruptive excess fat deposits can also be reduced with the help of injection lipolysis (“fat-away injection”). During the treatment, a special mixture of active ingredients is injected into the region to stimulate fat loss – without the need for surgery.
