Yes, EMSCULPT can be combined with non-invasive fat removal procedures like CoolSculpting to enhance fat reduction. For the buttocks, Ultherapy may be combined with EMSCULPT to shape and lift the derriere.

A healthy lifestyle, including diet and exercise maintenance, is encouraged following your series of EMSCULPT treatments. An increase in weight will allow fat stores to accumulate.

Yes, focused electromagnetic energy from EMSCULPT is safe. A possible side effect could be mild soreness similar to that after a muscle workout is twice-weekly.

Patients with significant fat stores may not be ideal candidates for EMSCULPT. The HIFEM (High Intensity Focused Electro Magnetic) energy used to power EMSCULPT penetrates to about 7 cm. Those with thicker fat stores may not get as significant of muscle contraction, resulting in less results following treatment.

Women who are close to menstruation may find that it comes sooner or cramping is increased/intensified with EMSCULPT treatments, therefore we recommend not undergoing treatment during this time of the month.

Possible contraindications to treatment include the following:

Metal or electronic implants in the treatment area

Pregnant and nursing females

Cardiac pacemakers

Implanted defibrillators

Implanted neurostimulators

Drug pumps

Malignant tumor

Hemorrhagic conditions

Epilepsy

Recent surgical procedures

Cooper IUD

Metal clamps from tubal ligation

As per clinical studies, patients had an average of a 20% reduction in fat and a 1.5 inch average loss in waistline measurements following a series of 4 EMSCULPT treatments.

Clinical studies with EMSCULPT for the abdomen and buttocks treated patients for 30 minutes, twice a week for 2 weeks, a total of 4 treatments. Typically, one treatment every 3-6 months for maintenance is required to maintain results. 

An EMSCULPT treatment session lasts 30 minutes. Clinical studies on EMSCULPT were done as a series of 4 treatments total, twice weekly treatments for 2 weeks.

In clinical studies, patients gained 16% muscle mass after a series of 4 treatments with EMSCULPT.

BTL, the manufacturer of EMSCULPT, conducted 7 studies with over 200 patients on the abdomen and buttocks. The studies show how effective EMSCULPT is at burning fat and increasing muscle mass. They measured fat and muscle with imaging (CT scans and MRI studies), comparing photos before and after treatment, and measuring changes in waistline measurements.

On average, the following were achieved in clinical studies on healthy patients:

19% reduction of fat

4 cm (1.5 inches) loss in waistline circumference

16% increase in muscle mass

11% reduction in abdominal muscle separation (called diastasis recti)

5 x increase in fat metabolism (apoptotic index increased from 19% to 92% after treatment)

80% patients with visible lifting effect of buttocks

96% patient satisfaction

EMSCULPT is the first FDA-cleared energy device approved to burn fat and build muscle mass. It’s a no-downtime, pain-free, non-surgical way to define the abs and lift the buttocks.

EMSCULPT contracts muscles beyond what is possible through physical training, yielding better muscle tone and enhanced fat metabolism. These results are backed by 7 clinical studies, showing fat loss as well as defined and sculpted muscles to the abdomen and buttocks following a series of 4 treatments.
