Burn Fat and Build Muscle
EMSCULPT® is the first and only procedure that is FDA-Approved to build muscle with an additional benefit of fat reduction. It is indicated for muscle building and toning of the abs, buttocks, arms, and thighs of both men and women. It is the world’s first non-invasive buttock shaping and lifting procedure. We are excited to add this fantastic new category of technology to our body contouring practice. This is a game-changer in body contour procedures.
How does Emsculpt work?
EMSCULPT uses HiFEM (High-Intensity Focused ElectroMagnetic) Energy to stimulate muscle growth and burn fat. The electromagnetic energy is similar to technology found in an MRI. This powerful energy results in rapid supra-maximal muscle contraction, more powerful than could be accomplished with even the most intense exercise. One 30 minute session results in approximately 20,000 muscle contractions, similar to 20,000 sit-ups. The muscles respond by burning fat and adding bulk and tone.
What areas can be treated with Emsculpt?
Speaking of Kim Kardashian, have any other celebrities used and endorsed Emsculpt?
Kim Kardashian was recently seen on television getting an Emsculpt treatment. The equivalence of 20,000 situps in 30 minutes without breaking a sweat. Is it cheating or just good time management?
How long is the treatment time?
The treatment time for each treatment is 30 minutes. It is recommended that four treatments are scheduled within a 2-4 week period.
Are Emsculpt results better in patients with less fat?
The results you “see” are most noticeable in thin patients with better muscle visibility. The results you “feel” are similar in either the low or high BMI patient. We would consider low BMI patients the best candidates as they will typically be happiest with the results.
Are diet and exercise necessary after treatment?
Many patients find the increase in core and muscle strength after Emsculpt motivates them to exercise. Exercise becomes easier, less painful, and more enjoyable. As one would expect, patients who add diet and exercise to Emsculpt are going to achieve the best results.
Can Emsculpt repair Diastasis Recti?
Diastasis Recti is the separation of the rectus abdominus muscles that occurs with pregnancy. This separation recovers after delivery to different degrees for different women. Rectus diastasis can contribute to an abdominal “pooch” as well as weak core strength and back pains. For women with substantial separation, the only method of treatment has traditionally been direct surgical repair during a tummy tuck. Emsculpt is a new category of treatment that works to add strength and tone to the rectus muscles. It has been shown to significantly improve diastasis recti, although not to the degree expected by a tummy tuck.
Can Emsculpt be combined with a BBL for more fullness?
BBL is a procedure to add firmness, roundness, and size to the buttock, lifting and improving the skin. During BBL, fat is harvested from unwanted areas and injected into the fatty tissue in the buttock. Emsculpt can be complimentary to BBL by adding additional muscle bulk and tone. If it is performed before BBL, it can add additional muscle bulk, lift, and firmness to the procedure.
Can Emsculpt replace BBL?
Emsculpt can also be used as a stand-alone procedure on the buttock for patients who want more subtle results. It is the first and only completely non-invasive buttock augmentation, lifting and tightening procedure.
