Read on to learn how Emsculpt works and the exceptional results it can provide. You’ll be amazed by the level of muscle definition and fat reduction this cutting-edge technology may achieve.

What Is Emsculpt?

Emsculpt is an innovative body contouring treatment that uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy to stimulate muscle contractions and create a fit and toned appearance.

During a 30-minute session, patients lie down as the device delivers intense pulses to the buttocks, abs, arms, calves, or other targeted areas. This energy causes rapid muscle contractions that are nearly impossible to achieve through standard exercise.

The Emsculpt device fatigues muscle fibers like intensive weight training would, essentially tricking your body into thinking it has undergone a comprehensive workout. Just a few Emsculpt sessions can strengthen muscles and give people visibly more toned and firmer skin, all without pain, downtime, or surgery.

How Does Emsculpt Work?

Patients receive Emsculpt treatment in a doctor’s office. Here is an overview of how it happens:

Each 30-minute session involves a series of 20,000 intensive muscle contractions, essentially performing 20,000 concentrated crunches or squats.
This stimulation is far beyond what could be achieved during regular exercise.
The Emsculpt contractions fatigue and damage the muscle fibers, causing new tissue growth in the treated areas.
In addition, the intense stimulation provides a deep massage-like effect to break up fat.
Fat cell contents are then naturally flushed out of the body through the lymphatic system over the next 2-3 months.
A typical Emsculpt treatment plan involves 4 sessions spaced 2-3 days apart for optimal results.
Target areas include the abdomen, buttocks, arms, calves, and thighs, allowing muscle building and fat reduction.

Recovery After Emsculpt Treatment

The recovery period after an Emsculpt treatment is minimal. Many patients report some muscle soreness, similar to a feeling after an intense workout. These aching sensations usually disappear within 24-48 hours. No special recovery steps are required. Patients can return to their normal activities immediately after the procedure.

Some temporary redness or swelling may also occur in the treatment zone but should resolve quickly. Icing the area several times for 10-15 minutes can help reduce these symptoms. Patients should stay well-hydrated in the first few days and take walks to improve circulation and drainage.

The best treatment regimen with Emsculpt involves 4 sessions spaced 2-3 days apart. After each intervention, there may be some soreness that resolves quickly. Patients recover completely between treatments and feel ready for the next one.

Some visible results are noticeable early on, but more dramatic improvements occur over a few months.

Is Emsculpt Safe?

Emsculpt is considered a safe procedure for most people. The FDA cleared it in 2018 for strengthening, firming, and toning muscles and improving their definition. While the HIFEM contractions are intense, the procedure has been well-tolerated in multiple clinical studies and our practical experience.

Potential side effects are generally mild and temporary. The most common issues reported in clinical studies were muscle soreness, skin reddening, and transient numbness or tingling. No serious adverse events have been recorded.

Emsculpt should be performed only by a trained professional like Nina Presman at the Anti-Aging Center of Boca. She evaluates each patient’s medical history to determine if this treatment is appropriate for them. People with certain medical devices, like a pacemaker or defibrillator, should not undergo HIFEM procedures. Pregnant and nursing women must also avoid it.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Emsculpt?

Emsculpt can be beneficial for millions of patients. Here are the typical groups:

People who want to reduce fat in targeted areas, like the abdomen, buttocks, legs, and arms.
Those with a BMI under 30. Emsculpt is cleared for people with some excess fat and mild loose skin, but it works best for relatively fit individuals.
People who already exercise but want better muscle definition, which is hard to achieve through standard training. Emsculpt can help fitness enthusiasts take their results to the next level.
Individuals who want to tighten loose muscles after pregnancy or weight loss. Emsculpt corrects muscles for a more toned appearance.
People who are looking for a non-invasive alternative to liposuction. Emsculpt burns fatty acids while building muscle without surgery or downtime.
Busy adults who don't have time for lengthy gym workouts. A 30-minute Emsculpt session effectively replaces hours of strength training and cardio.

Benefits of Emsculpt Treatment

Non-Invasive

Emsculpt is entirely non-invasive. It uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy (HIFEM) to target muscles and body fat without incisions, needles, or downtime. Patients can resume their daily activities immediately after.

Improves Muscle Tone

Emsculpt uses HIFEM to force intense contractions that are impossible to achieve through physical exercise. They stimulate muscle tissue growth beyond what is naturally possible, significantly improving muscle tone.

Addresses Abdominal Muscle Separation

Emsculpt can help improve diastasis recti, a condition where the abdominal muscles separate and protrude. The intense contractions stimulate collagen production and strengthen the divided tissues.

Builds Muscle Mass

In clinical studies, patients saw an average 15.4% increase in muscle mass after Emsculpt procedures. The treatment causes 20,000 contractions that recruit close to 100% of muscle fibers, triggering significant tissue growth.

Leads to Fat Reduction

In the same clinical studies, patients saw an average 18.6% reduction in fat. This effect is also caused by rapid muscle contractions, which break down fat cells. Therefore, Emsculpt is a highly effective body sculpting treatment.

Suitable for Both Men and Women

This procedure is safe and effective for improving muscle tone and reducing fat in both men and women. It can target the arms, abs, calves, and buttocks. Each treatment area is stimulated with powerful energy to make it smoother and more fit.

Emsculpt NEO: An Advanced Treatment Option

Emsculpt NEO is an innovative procedure that was introduced in 2020. While the original Emsculpt device uses HIFEM to trigger intense muscle contractions, Emsculpt NEO takes it a step further. This new treatment incorporates one more technology – radiofrequency (RF) heating – which tightens the skin and improves its tone. Using Emsculpt NEO, patients can achieve even better results and make their bodies look fit.

Cost and Maintenance

The cost of Emsculpt depends on several factors, including the area being treated and the number of sessions needed. On average, a single intervention costs $700. Most people see the best results after four sessions, which means that they can expect to spend around $2,800 in total. Maintenance treatments are less frequent, usually once a year.
