Any patient that has considered a fat reduction treatment is probably familiar with CoolSculpting. Over the past several years, this non-surgical procedure has become one of the most popular ways to eliminate unwanted fat pockets from the body.
While CoolSculpting is non-invasive, the device does require direct contact with the skin in order to suction and freeze fat. For some patients, this may be more intrusive than they would like and cause some nervousness about the treatment.
Fortunately, Emsculpt is a body-contouring procedure that requires minimal contact and can burn fat and build muscle.
That’s right. This revolutionary technology can actually increase muscle mass, while simultaneously destroying fat. It’s also able to lift and firm buttocks, making it the world’s first non-surgical butt lift.
So, is Emsculpt right for you? Here’s five facts about this new and exciting treatment.
1. Emsculpt Provides True Body Sculpting, Whereas Coolsculpting Only Reduces Fat
Although CoolSculpting and Emsculpt are both referred to as non-invasive body contouring treatments, Emsculpt is the only procedure that recognizes the importance of muscle in shaping the abdomen and buttocks.
In fact, the body is comprised of 35 percent muscle, 25 percent fat, and 16 percent skin. Therefore, muscle should be a key component of any treatment that promotes contouring and sculpting of the body.
2. Instead of Cold Temperatures or Heat, Emsculpt Uses HIFEM Technology
Through two panels, Emsculpt delivers high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology that penetrates skin to target fat and muscle.
It then initiates 20,000 supramaximal muscle contractions that cause a rapid metabolic reaction in fat cells, which breaks down fat and builds muscle.
3. Emsculpt Is Entirely Non-Invasive, Quick, and Painless
Each Emsculpt session lasts 30 minutes, and patients can comfortably recline without any pain. All normal activities may be resumed immediately after, and other than feeling some post-workout soreness, Emsculpt has no side effects or downtime.
4. Emsculpt Provides Consistent and Reliable Results With 96 Percent Patient Satisfaction
In 5 independent studies, Emsculpt was shown to increase muscle mass by an average of 16 percent, reduced subcutaneous fat by 19 percent, and decreased diastasis recti by 11 percent.
These results demonstrate that Emsculpt can target cosmetic concerns that are not adequately addressed by other body contouring treatments.
5. Patients Can Feel Emsculpt Results Immediately and See Changes Within Weeks
For optimal results, a series of four Emsculpt treatments spaced two-to-three days apart is recommended.
Patients report that they feel toning of their abdomen and lifting of the buttocks after their first session, and can begin to see changes several weeks after their third or fourth treatment.
These effects continue to improve over the next six months.
