EmSCULPT
FAQ
​​
What is EmSculpt?
EmSculpt is a non-invasive body contouring treatment that uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to induce powerful muscle contractions, which build muscles and burn fat in targeted areas.
​
How does EmSculpt work?
The EmSculpt device emits HIFEM energy that penetrates through the skin to impact muscle tissue, causing supramaximal contractions. These contractions are much more intense than what can be achieved through voluntary exercise, leading to enhanced muscle strength and tone.
​
What are the benefits of EmSculpt?
EmSculpt helps increase muscle mass, reduce fat, and improve the definition of the treated area. Common treatment areas include the abdomen, buttocks, arms, and legs.
​
Is EmSculpt safe?
Yes, EmSculpt is FDA-cleared and considered safe for most people. The treatment does not require anesthesia or incisions, and there is no downtime following the procedure.
​
Who is an ideal candidate for EmSculpt?
Ideal candidates for EmSculpt are close to their ideal body weight but looking for additional muscle tone and definition that they haven't been able to achieve through exercise alone.
​
How long does an EmSculpt session last?
Each session typically lasts about 30 minutes. Treatment plans generally consist of 4 sessions, spaced 2-3 days apart.
​
How quickly can I see results from EmSculpt?
Some clients report feeling tangible results immediately after treatment. Visible improvements are usually seen two to four weeks after the last session and continue to improve for several weeks.
​
Are there any side effects of EmSculpt?
The most common side effect is a feeling of muscle soreness, similar to what one might feel after an intense workout. This typically subsides within a day or two.
​
How does EmSculpt compare to traditional weight training?
EmSculpt does not replace traditional weight training but is a supplement to enhance muscle tone and strength faster than what is typically achievable through exercise alone.
​
Can EmSculpt help with weight loss?
EmSculpt is primarily designed for muscle toning and fat reduction in specific areas, not for significant weight loss. However, it can help improve body composition and support a weight loss journey when combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise.
​
Is EmSculpt treatment painful?
Most clients do not find EmSculpt painful; the sensation is often described as an intense muscular contraction with a tingling feeling.
Does EmSculpt help with conditions like Multiple Sclerosis (MS)?
There is no direct evidence that EmSculpt can improve neurological conditions like Multiple Sclerosis. While EmSculpt may help strengthen muscles, it does not directly address the neurological deficits caused by MS. Patients with MS should consult their healthcare provider before undergoing any new treatment to ensure it is safe and suitable for their specific condition
The main benefits include improved circulation, reduced swelling and inflammation, faster recovery from exercise, and prevention of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in at-risk individuals.
