What Is Emsculpt?
EMSculpt® is a Muscle building and Fat Reduction treatment that uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy (HIFEM) to improve, strengthen, and tone muscles in the abdomen, arms, legs, and buttocks.
This EmSculpt procedure is known to help individuals build muscle and burn fat simultaneously. The non-invasive body-shaping procedure provides simultaneous fat-reduction, skin tightening, and muscle building in a 30-minute session.
The recently released EMSculpt NEO delivers radiofrequency to destroy the fat and tighten the skin while the HIFEM® stimulates muscle contractions in the targeted treatment area. As a result, you can acquire both fat reduction and muscle strengthening in a short period by providing optimal energy from this procedure.
EmSculpt treatment provides you with an average fat loss of about 19% and an average muscle increase of about 16% in the treatment area.

Benefits & Risks
Benefits:
5. Natural-looking results: Emsculpt provides gradual and natural-looking results. Over time, as the muscles grow stronger and more defined, the body’s overall shape and contour improve.
Risks & Considerations:
1. Temporary side effects: Some individuals may experience temporary side effects such as muscle soreness, redness, or mild swelling in the treated area. These effects are generally mild and resolve on their own within a few days.
2. Not suitable for everyone: Emsculpt is not recommended for individuals who are significantly overweight or have a high body mass index (BMI). It is more suitable for those who are already close to their desired weight and have specific areas they want to target for muscle toning and fat reduction.
3. Limited target areas: Emsculpt is primarily designed for specific areas such as the abdomen, buttocks, thighs, and arms. It may not be suitable for targeting other areas of the body.
4. Cost: Emsculpt is a specialized treatment and can be more expensive compared to some other non-invasive body contouring options.

-
- Firm and toned abdomen
- Shaped and lifted buttocks
- Toned arms and legs
- Non-invasive
- Minimal Downtime
What is HIFEM®?
EmSculpting® is based on HIFEM® (High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic) technology which induces supramaximal muscle contractions not achievable through voluntary contractions.
When exposed to these supramaximal contractions, the underlying muscle tissue is forced to adapt to such extreme conditions. In return, it responds with a deep remodelling of its inner structure that results in muscle building and fat burning.
What are the typical results following EmSculpt®?
On average, clinical studies (with over 200 participants) showed these results after 4 sessions. Fat and muscle are measured with imaging- CT scans and MRI studies.
- 19% fat reduction
- 4cm loss in waist circumference
- 16% increase in muscle mass
- 11% reduction in abdominal muscle separation (also known as diastasis recti)
- increase in fat metabolism (apoptotic index increased from 19% to 92% after consistent treatments)
- 80% patients with visible lifting effect of buttocks
- 96% patient satisfaction rates
How many EmSculpt® treatments are needed?
Clinical studies with EmSculpt® for the abdomen and buttocks treated patients for 30 minutes, twice a week for 2 weeks, a total of 4 treatments. Typically, one treatment every 3-6 months for maintenance is required to maintain results.
Who is a good candidate for EmSculpt®?
Adults in good shape who desire more definition of their abs or lifting of the buttocks are ideal candidates for this treatment. It is well-suited for those who workout but just can’t seem to get a six-pack or a perky buttock. Good candidates are those already physically active and adhere to a healthy diet and lifestyle.

How fast will one see results?
One should begin to feel tangible results right after the treatment. Positive results are usually reported two to four weeks after the last session and continue to improve for several weeks following the treatments.
Does EmSculpt® hurt?
It is painless and there is no downtime. To date, there have been no adverse reactions to the treatment. Most reviews mentioned that patients feel muscle soreness the next day, similar to how it feels the day after a good gym workout.
