How EMSculpt Can Help You Achieve the Body You’ve Worked So Hard For
The EMSCULPT is the world‘s only non-invasive procedure to efficiently build your muscles. Restore your core and get your flat, sculpted abs back.
For those who are busting their butt in the gym (literally!) and still aren’t quite getting the results they’re after, EMSculpt may be the answer you’ve been waiting for. This treatment is a perfect complement to the work you put in at the gym as it targets those stubborn areas leaving you with lasting toned muscles.
So, what is it exactly and how does it work? Keep reading to find out.
What is EMSculpt?
EMSculpt is a non-invasive body contouring treatment that acts as a supplement to regular exercise and helps to reduce fat cells while you build muscle at the gym. Studies show that the main side effect is the apoptosis (death) of fat calls.
It can be used on both the stomach to help reveal a smoother tummy with more visible abdominal muscles, and on the buttocks to help you achieve a firmer, more toned backside.
And unlike other body contouring treatments such as CoolSculpting or TriLipo, EMSculpt doesn’t just focus on reducing fat.
Because the treatment stimulates muscle groups that are difficult to target with exercise for weight loss, EMSculpt helps you increase your muscle mass while also decreasing subcutaneous fat in the stomach area.
EMSculpt also burns fat cells more rapidly than most other treatment options as it stimulates a deeper remodeling of muscle tissue, helping you see quicker results.
How Does It Work?
EMSculpt uses high-intensity electromagnetic energy which triggers contractions in targeted muscles that cannot occur with regular voluntary muscle movements with voluntary contraction 40% of contracting muscles and involuntary contraction 90% of contracting muscles.
Overall, one EMSculpt session lasting 30 minutes will trigger 20,000 Supra Maximal muscle contractions. This is the equivalent of doing 20,000 sit-ups or squats.
Think of it as a full ab or butt workout without actually exercising. These results are impossible to reach without voluntary contraction.
As the intense pulses vibrate through your muscles, chemicals are released on a localized basis, putting stress on the muscles, and triggering rapid changes at the cellular level.
And as the fat cells break down, they release what is known as free fatty acids, which overtake and kill off the fat cells. Once these cells die, your body will metabolize them and remove them as waste.
EMSculp induces powerful muscle contractions not achievable voluntarily. Muscles need to adapt to such conditions and result in growth in volume and multiplication of muscle fibers.
These powerful contractions induce excessive demand for energy which commonly result in an intramuscular fat decrease.
The treatment is so effective that it can result in a 16 percent increase in muscle mass, 19 percent fat reduction, and 11 percent reduction in Diastasis Recti.
Why Is It A Great Complement to Hitting the Gym?
As you work hard at the gym and are working towards building muscle, it can feel discouraging if you’re not seeing those muscles due to a stubborn layer of fat around your mid section that just won’t go away.
EmSculpt is the only device that focuses on breaking down fat and increasing muscle tone, allowing you to finally see – and feel! – the results you’ve been working so hard towards.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
For optimal results, it’s recommended that you undergo at least four EMSculpt sessions within a two-week period. These sessions should be spaced two or three days apart to achieve the best possible outcome.
When Will I See Optimal Results?
After completing the recommended minimum of four sessions, most patients will notice fat reduction and increased muscle definition and tone within 3 months following the final session.
However, you will continue to see improvements for up to three to six months.
Am I A Good Candidate?
Emsculpt is a safe FDA approved treatment that is effective for both men and women that are hoping to reduce excess fat and increase muscle tone.
The ideal candidate would be an individual who wants to build and tone their muscles and lose fat. All of our studies have been performed on individuals with a BMI of less than 28.
For those do not meet this criteria, other treatments may be recommended such as CoolSculpting or TriLipo.
What Are the Side-Effects?
After the treatment, you may experience some muscle soreness less than what you would feel after an intense training session, however, there are no other reported side effects associated with EMSculpt. Other side effects include muscular pain, temporary muscle spasms, and intramuscular fat decrease.
Is There Any Downtime?
EMSculpt is completely non-invasive, which means there is no recovery period after a session, and you can return to regular activities immediately after your treatment.
However, in rare cases, the soreness you experience after EMSculpt can last for around two days, but subsides after that.
What Are the Aftercare Tips?
Since there are no side effects or downtime after the procedure, the only aftercare tips you will need to follow after your EMSculpt sessions is to maintain your same regime. Studies show that results will last up to one year.
When to Consult A Professional
If you’ve been working hard at the gym but can’t seem to shed that last bit of fat to reveal your hard-earned abs, consult with licensed, experienced medical professional to find out if EMSculpt will help you achieve your desired results.
