There are certain crucial metrics that each of us looks for when determining how life is going, either for ourselves or another. Sometimes, we do not search for these hallmarks consciously, rather we allow the signs to subtly shape our opinion on a person’s health and success. These criteria are:
- Does the person in question look good?
- And do they feel good?
Because we gather information through the five senses, someone’s appearance, along with their general demeanor, can tell quite a lot about how everything else in their life is going.
Mental and Physical Health
The link between a person’s physical health and their mental health has long been studied and proven and we all recognize that one without the other isn’t ideal. Consider these well-worn phrases:
If you haven’t got your health, you haven’t got anything. This accurately places a premium on our physical health. We could be rich, famous, and have all the friends in the world, but if our health is failing us then everything (rightly) takes second fiddle to us getting back to full strength.
And the other:
Laughter is the best medicine. There’s a reason we feel hopeful for the sickly person who has a great attitude and worry over the healthy person who has let themselves go: the physical and the mental are inextricably linked, and so activities like going to the gym and even getting that much-desired hair growth implant can do wonders for our confidence, our outlook, and ultimately, our bodily health.
Investing in Yourself
At Barr, we believe in the bond between how one looks and how one feels so much, we’ve devoted our careers to helping people walk out of our clinic with confidence. Not all of the facial plastic surgery we perform is purely cosmetic but they are all important, especially to our patients.
Likewise, not all of the procedures we undergo require the use of a scalpel or are designed to immediately alter your outer appearance, like say, one of the hundreds of rhinoplasties we perform in Salt Lake City each year. For many of our patients who work hard at improving their quality of life, they want to explore non-invasive procedures that will help them lose fat or strengthen muscles. Happily, Barr is one of the few practices in the state that can help.
Tools of the Trade
Working in the field of cosmetic surgery can be incredibly rewarding as we see our patients walk out with heads held high, infused with a new birth of confidence. Thanks to decades of experience and thousands of procedures under their belts, our surgeons have done everything from collagen injections to hair growth restoration, and more, and have had the opportunity to work at the forefront of innovation.
As such, Barr has acquired two new FDA-approved tools to help broaden our expertise beyond facial plastic surgery and into improving one’s essential muscle groups below the neck. These utilize high-intensity electromagnetic energy (HIFEM).
The Emsclupt Neo
The Emsclupt targets muscle tissue in the biceps, triceps, abdomen, buttocks, thighs, and calves, and is designed to help reduce the amount of fat in those areas while also promoting muscle growth. Through the use of radio and HIFEM frequencies, our surgeons have seen results of:
- 30% fat loss in targeted areas
- 25% increase in muscle density
- Effective treatment against distended abdominal muscles common after pregnancy
All these results and more have been corroborated by years of medical study, including the use of biopsy and medical imaging.
The Emsella
Another incredible tool in the development and strengthening of our muscles includes the Emsella, a HIFEM tool used to target the pelvic floor of both men and women. Over time, these muscles lose their ability to contract with the same amount of force as when we were younger, increasing our discomfort while minimizing our confidence both in public and in private. The Emsella has been proven to:
- Decrease urinary incontinence
- Treat erectile dysfunction
Each of these tools is completely painless and does not require the use of any invasive practices. We may have made a name for ourselves by performing the best rhinoplasty in Salt Lake, but these tools are already bringing more people into our clinic than ever before. Call us today to learn more about how HIFEM equipment can improve your physical and mental wellbeing.
