Over the past five years, demand for non-invasive fat reduction has continued to rise. While most of these treatments are dubbed “body contouring,” aesthetic experts point out that none of these technologies build muscle, which is an essential component of body structure.
In fact, fat comprises 20-30 percent of the body, while muscle accounts for 30-40 percent. Therefore, it makes sense that this area needs to be addressed in order to adequately sculpt and tone the abdomen and buttocks.
For this reason, BTL Aesthetics developed and recently introduced Emsculpt to the aesthetic space as the first and only non-invasive treatment that can destroy fat cells and build muscle at the same time.
While some may wonder if Emsculpt is too good to be true, it’s backed by five independent studies and countless aesthetic experts that believe it will take body contouring to the next level.
Here’s what you should know about Emsculpt’s science, results, and patient benefits.
What’s the Science Behind Emsculpt’s Ability to Burn Fat and Build Muscle?
Emsculpt uses a revolutionary technology called high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy to tone the abdomen, lift and firm buttocks, and improve diastasis recti (separation of abdominal muscles).
More specifically, the science behind Emsculpt allows it to create an electromagnetic field that’s transmitted to the body. It then gives way to a current which stimulates every muscle fiber and nerve in the treatment area.
As a result, the device delivers 20,000 supramaximal muscle contractions that metabolize fat and strengthen muscles.
How Effective Is Emsculpt at Reducing Fat and Strengthening Muscle?
Emsculpt’s science is not only FDA-approved, but its efficacy has undergone rigorous testing in seven independent studies.
They evaluated Emsculpt treatment results using photos and tape measurements, CT, ultrasound, MRI, and an animal study, which demonstrated a 20 percent decrease in abdominal wall thickness, a 16 percent increase in muscle thickness, and tightening and narrowing of diastasis recti by 11 percent.
Why Should Patients Undergo Emsculpt?
In addition to its science and results, Emsculpt is a non-surgical and painless procedure. Plus, it’s the world’s first and only non-invasive butt lift.
It’s also extremely efficient, as each session takes just 30 minutes and the four recommended treatments are spaced two-to-three days apart. Compared to other body contouring treatments that can take an hour or more per cycle and are completed over the course of several months.
Additionally, Emsculpt has zero downtime and provides immediate and continuous results. Most patients felt tightening effects after their first treatment and note a more sculpted abdomen and lifted and firmer buttocks two-to-four weeks post-procedure.
Optimal outcomes were achieved by three months, but improvement could still be seen for up to six months.
