How Long Does It Take to Recover From EMSculpt?
There is no recovery time needed after an EMSculpt treatment.
How Long Does EMSculpt Take?
While all EMSculpt treatment plans vary by patient, each treatment takes an average of 30 minutes.
What is EMsculpt?
EMSculpt is a painless, non-invasive procedure that builds muscle and kills fat through high-intensity electromagnetic energy, improving body contouring and shape, through muscle-sculpting and building. By using high-intensity electromagnetic energy and targeting specific muscles, 20,000 supramaximal contractions can be induced in just 30 mins (like 20 years of sit-ups). After a series of twice-weekly treatments, the size of the muscle fibres (hypertrophy) and absolute number (hyperplasia) is increased significantly, improving your contour and form.
Using high-intensity electromagnetic energy to target specific muscles, EMSculpt induces approximately 20,000 powerful muscle contractions in a 30-minute session. This intensity is far beyond what can be achieved through traditional exercise.
After a series of treatments, typically administered twice weekly, patients often observe an increase in muscle size. While there is some debate in the scientific community regarding the increase in the absolute number of muscle fibers, the primary observable effect is enhanced muscle tone and definition.
While EMSculpt is effective in muscle toning, it’s important to note that its primary purpose is not fat reduction. However, the procedure can lead to some reduction in the fat layer as a secondary effect of increased muscle activity and improved metabolism in the treated area.
Who is an EMsculpt Candidate?
Good candidates for the EMSculpt treatment are those with an unwanted localized collection of abdominal fat, thigh fat, or a flat, sagging buttock. Expectations should be realistic, as the non-invasive, painless body shaping improvements are notable but moderate. Patients cannot have a cardiac or bladder pacemaker and, most importantly, should not have more than 2-3 cm of fat, or the increased muscle tone/hypertrophy will not be visible.
4 Benefits of EMsculpt
Increased Muscle Mass
Patients see an average 16%-20% increase in muscle mass.
No Downtime
As the procedure is non-invasive – candidates can resume their regular activities, including high-impact sports, immediately.
Safe and Effective
Non-invasive body sculpting is a reliable method that has been used for years, with very rare, if any, side effects.
Ideal for Both Men and Women
Both men and women respond well to EMSculpt procedures.
EMSculpt Risks
The EMSculpt delivers High Intensity Focused Electromagnetic radiation (electrical current) that is delivered from the applicator paddle to the muscle and fat and is cleared for use by the FDA and Health Canada. This energy is non-ionizing, does not cause cancer in cells, does not give off radiation, does not affect sensory nerves, blood vessels or any other localized tissue except the targeted muscle and fat. There is no effect on the underlying tissues below the muscle.
The biggest risk is a patient’s unrealistic expectations.
EMSculpt Side Effects
EMSculpt is an incredibly safe procedure with few side effects. The skin is not damaged or harmed, and you can return to your regular activities after the session. After EMSculpt treatment, it’s reasonable to expect some degree of:
- Soreness
- Tenderness
- Redness
- Swelling
- Temporary weakness or fatigue
Areas of EMSculpt Treatment
Fat cells and lack of muscle definition can be a concern in many areas of the body. This is particularly true for the stomach area, buttocks, arms, legs, and thighs, which are common focal points of insecurity for both men and women. Thousands of individuals turn to EMSculpt treatments each year to target these areas, enhancing muscle definition and tone, which can indirectly affect the appearance of fat.
SpaMedica specializes in the following areas of EMSculpt treatment:
Stomach Area
The persistent fat and limited muscle definition in the abdominal muscles can prove difficult to tackle solely with diet and exercise. EMSculpt assists in improving muscle tone in the abs, resulting in a more defined and sculpted look, which aids in achieving a leaner silhouette.
Buttocks
For redefining the buttocks, EMSculpt is an ideal solution. It’s a quick procedure with minimal downtime, focusing on muscle toning that can reshape the appearance of your buttocks, contributing to a firmer, more attractive physique.
Arms
Loose skin and lack of muscle definition in the arms can be effectively addressed with EMSculpt treatment. It helps to tighten and tone the skin, especially underneath the arms, creating a more contoured and firm appearance.
Thighs
If you’ve already lost a significant amount of weight and are looking to enhance the muscle tone in your thighs, EMSculpt is an effective option. It’s suitable for refining the appearance of the inner thighs without the need for invasive procedures like liposuction, allowing you to enjoy a more toned and shapely appearance with no recovery time.
Different Types of EMsculpt
Evolve Tone
Evolve Tone specifically targets muscle building and toning using Electrical Muscle Stimulation. It’s designed to enhance muscle strength and definition.
Evolve Tite
This modality, part of the same Evolve system, uses radiofrequency technology for skin tightening.
Evolve Trim
Another modality of the Evolve system, Evolve Trim, focuses on fat reduction and body contouring, combining radiofrequency technology with a vacuum.
CoolSculpting
CoolSculpting employs a cooling technology known as cryolipolysis. It works by freezing and crystalizing fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by the body over time. This treatment is designed to address localized fat deposits in various parts of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, and flanks. While individual results may vary, CoolSculpting can reduce fat in the treated area by up to 20-25%.
SculpSure
SculpSure uses laser technology to heat and destroy fat cells. The laser energy penetrates the skin, targeting fat cells beneath and raising their temperature to the point of irreversible damage.
Like CoolSculpting, SculpSure is used for localized fat deposits, particularly in areas like the abdomen and flanks. SculpSure can significantly reduce fat, with studies indicating up to a 24% reduction in fat layer thickness after a single treatment.
How does Dr. Chen perform EMSculpt?
An applicator paddle is placed over an area of the body that has an undesirable localized excess collection of fat over the underlying muscle. Once turned on, the applicator from the EMSculpt treatment device releases high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy that leads to over 20,000 supra-maximal muscle contractions. These supra-maximal contractions delivered during each 30-minute treatment session exceed the kind of muscle stimulation that can never be achieved through exercise, bodybuilding or muscle action.
How to Prepare for an EMsculpt Treatment
As the EMsculpt is non-invasive, it requires no pre-treatment preparation.
What to Expect After EMsculpt
After an EMSculpt treatment, patients can immediately resume normal activities – in fact, diet and exercise are recommended. Following the EMSculpt sessions, patients may experience a moderate degree of muscle fatigue, stiffness and soreness for 24-72 hours, similar to a high impact workout.
EMsculpt Recovery
After an EMSculpt treatment, patients can resume normal activities, including high-impact exercise. Following the EMSculpt sessions, patients may experience a moderate level of muscle fatigue, stiffness, and soreness lasting from 24 to 72 hours, akin to the sensations following a high-intensity workout.
