What is it?
Emsculpt is a non-invasive, FDA approved therapy. Using cutting edge technology in the form of high intensity electromagnetic energy, the machine triggers what are known as supramaximal contractions within the muscles. The result? Fat loss and muscle fiber growth leading to more defined abs and a tighter tush. Unlike devices created in the past such as CoolSculpt which focus primarily on fat loss, Emsculpt is the only one of its kind targeting primarily muscles resulting in not only fat reduction, but increased strength and muscle tone as well. |
How does it work?
The process begins with the patient lying down comfortably followed by the provider applying the applicator to the treatment area. The machine is then activated and the supramaximal contractions begin. As the treatment progresses, the intensity of the electromagnetic field is increased gradually based on patient tolerance. Twenty thousand contractions occur during one single treatment session. This results in the breakdown of fat cells into free fatty acids that are metabolized and excreted by the body, and in the occurrence of cellular changes within the muscles causing them to thicken and increase in tone. |
What can I expect?
You can expect the procedure to feel like an extremely intense workout (all while you are lying down and relaxing!) Most patients report feeling tangible results in the muscles immediately following a treatment. The maximum tangible and visual results have most commonly been reported to be experienced 2-4 weeks after the last treatment is completed. For maximal results, it is recommended to undergo 4 total treatments with 2-3 days in between each session. Each treatment session lasts approximately 30 minutes. |
