What is Emsculpt?

Emsculpt is an FDA-approved, non-invasive, electromagnetic procedure that claims to eliminate fat cells and tighten muscles in your abs and butt. All you have to do is lie down at your dermatologist’s office, get hooked up to a machine, and sit back and relax as it emits electromagnetic pulses that strengthen your muscle fibers and burn unwanted fat. Sounds too good to be true, right?

Emsculpt simultaneously builds muscle and burns fat, according to information provided. It does so by emitting electromagnetic pulses that force your muscles to contract about 20,000 times in just 30 minutes (way faster than you could make them contract on your own), and in turn strengthens your muscle fibers. The rapid contractions also cause your muscles to release chemicals that tell fat cells in the area to break down.

How Emsculpt Works

Most body-shaping treatments are designed to eliminate fat or tighten skin using lasers or ultrasound, but Emsculpt’s sole purpose is to firm specific areas—currently, the abs or butt—by upping muscle mass. (Clinical research shows an average 19 percent increase in muscle thickness six to nine months post-treatment.)

One Emsculpt treatment is the equivalent of doing 20,000 crunches in 30 minutes.

To achieve this, the machine emits high-intensity electromagnetic pulses to force muscular contractions—the equivalent of doing 20,000 crunches in 30 minutes—thus strengthening muscle fibers in a previously impossible amount of time. The fat loss—a 19 percent reduction—is actually just a welcome (and proven) side effect, one that can make a legit difference to your heart health.

As it turns out, I was the ideal candidate: fit but not super toned, with a few (not 20-plus) extra pounds of fat and no internal metal instruments (like an IUD), which mess with the magnetic waves.

How long do Emsculpt results last?
Six months
How long do the results last? Muscle mass gained by EMSculpt treatment is not permanent but may last, on average, for six months or more. Periodic EMSculpt sessions are recommended to maintain these results.
Do you lose weight with Emsculpt?
EMSCULPT provides an average fat loss of 15% and average muscle growth of 16% in the target area. Most users are satisfied with the treatment, and you may begin to see results after your first session.
How painful is Emsculpt?
Emsculpt treatment is not painful, at the most just uncomfortable, with many patients comparing it to the feeling of an intensive workout or describing a slight ‘pulling’ sensation. Your doctor will be able to control any discomfort that you experience by making adjustments to the treatment intensity accordingly.
Does Emsculpt tighten skin?
Can EMSCULPT tighten loose skin? EMSCULPT is highly effective for building muscle and reducing fat – up to 19% per series of treatments – on the abdomen. EMSCULPT may result in some skin tightening in the treated area. However, EMSCULPT is not a skin tightening treatment.
How do I get the best results from Emsculpt?
Complete the recommended amount of treatment sessions
It’s recommended that patients complete four 30-minute sessions over a two week period of time. Not undergoing four treatments can cause results to fall short of their full potential. Additional treatments beyond four may improve the final result.
