What Is EMSCULPT®?

EMSCULPT® is a non-invasive body contouring treatment that builds muscle and reduces fat using high-intensity focused electromagnetic technology. In a single session, EMSCULPT® can stimulate up to 30,000 muscle contractions in a targeted area.

How Does EMSCULPT® Contour the Body?

The intense muscle contractions triggered by EMSCULPT® force muscles to adapt and strengthen. At the same time, nearby fat cells are broken down to supply energy for the contractions.

Because electromagnetic energy is used, EMSCULPT® is only applied to areas with substantial muscle mass and is not used near the heart.

Common Treatment Areas

  • Abdomen
  • Buttocks
  • Arms (biceps and triceps)
  • Thighs and calves

Abdomen

Patients with excess fat may first benefit from CoolSculpting® to reduce bulk. Once fat is reduced, EMSCULPT® helps enhance muscle definition.

Buttocks

EMSCULPT® strengthens and lifts the gluteal muscles, offering a non-surgical alternative to buttock implants or lifts.

Arms and Legs

Using specialized applicators, EMSCULPT® can target the biceps, triceps, thighs, and calves to improve strength and tone.

What to Expect During EMSCULPT® Treatment

EMSCULPT® treatments feel similar to an intense workout. Patients experience rhythmic muscle contractions with minimal soreness afterward.

A built-in tapping mechanism helps reduce lactic acid buildup, minimizing post-treatment discomfort. There is no downtime or activity restriction.

Most patients complete four sessions over two weeks for optimal results.

EMSCULPT® FAQs

Who is a good candidate for EMSCULPT®?

Patients with little fat who want increased muscle definition in the abdomen, buttocks, arms, or legs are ideal candidates for EMSCULPT®.

How long do results last?

Clinical studies show results lasting at least one year. Results can be maintained through exercise and optional maintenance treatments.

Does EMSCULPT® burn fat?

Yes. EMSCULPT® both builds muscle and reduces fat in the treated area.

Is there downtime?

No downtime is required. Patients can return to normal activity immediately.
