Today, there are an array of anti-aging and body contouring treatments, such as CoolSculpting®, SmartLipo®, and Botox®, available to help you feel younger and more sculpted. One option that is taking the industry by storm is EMSculpt®. This treatment uses high-intensity pulses to remove fat and strengthen and tone the muscles in the abdomen and buttocks. Below is a brief guide to the procedure and how it will benefit you.

What Is It?

EMSculpt is the most recent option to join treatments like CoolSculpting and SmartLipo for its body-sculpting benefits. In the past year, it has become incredibly popular for its zero downtime and pain-free experience. It’s the first FDA-approved energy device that builds muscle mass and burns fat. It’s a non-surgical option to lift the buttocks and define the abs. It can also be used on the thighs and triceps. This type of technology acts as a supplement to active lifestyles and is best for people who already work out regularly and eat a healthy diet.

How Does It Work?

Unlike CoolSculpting, EMSculpt contracts the muscles at a rate you cannot achieve through physical training alone. This leads to improved fat metabolism and incredible muscle tone. One treatment is the same as doing 20,000 sit-ups or squats. This increased contraction builds new muscle mass and destroys fat cells through lipolysis. While there may be some discomfort over the feeling of the pulses, you won’t feel any pain during the treatment or have to worry about any downtime afterward. 

For optimal results, patients should schedule these 30-minute treatments two times a week for four treatments in total. To maintain your newly sculpted buttocks or abs, schedule one procedure every three to six months, depending on the instructions from your doctor.
