Is There Any Downtime After Emsculpt®?

Exercise plays a vital role in your overall health, but it cannot provide the kind of targeted muscle sculpting many people want to see. Emsculpt® combines powerful muscle toning with fat reduction for complete body contouring. This non-invasive treatment can remove fat to reveal enhanced muscle definition. 

What is Emsculpt® for Body Contouring?

Emsculpt® is a non-invasive body sculpting treatment that uses electromagnetic energy. Pulses of this energy trigger muscle contractions much more rapidly than you can make them contract while exercising. You can achieve the effect of 20,000 muscle contractions in 30 minutes. It also stimulates fat cell removal. Emsculpt® can be used on problem areas like the arms, calves, thighs, buttocks, and abdomen. 

How Does Emsculpt® Work?

Emsculpt® works by emitting pulses of electromagnetic energy. This form of energy triggers muscles to contract, making them contract in ways they would not do during exercise. As with any exercise, Emsculpt® causes the process of muscle tears and rebuilding. This process causes muscles to become stronger and more defined. It also damages nearby fat cells, allowing your body to filter them away. Regular exercise does not work your muscles hard enough to achieve this fat breakdown as Emsculpt® can. 

Is There Any Downtime After Emsculpt®?

Non-invasive Emsculpt® does not require any downtime. The Emsculpt® treatment cycle flushes away lactic acid and other exercise byproducts that can cause muscle soreness after a workout. You may still have some minor soreness, a sign that your muscles are rebuilding and strengthening. 

You can return to your daily routine immediately without limitations. Unlike a gym workout, you will not break a sweat during your Emsculpt® treatments, so you can return to work without anyone knowing you had intensive muscle toning. You should continue your normal healthy routine to keep muscles strong and encourage your body to flush out fat cells. 

How Many Emsculpt® Treatments Will I Need?

It takes many trips to the gym to build and define muscle. With Emsculpt®, you can achieve these results in four 30-minute sessions. All muscles require continuous use to remain strong and defined. We will help you determine a schedule that will let you maintain your newly sculpted muscles with occasional Emsculpt® sessions. You should also continue your healthy lifestyle to help maintain your results. 

What Results Can I Expect With Emsculpt®?

Emsculpt® not only tones muscles and produces some of the fastest fat reduction in body sculpting. People who have a series of Emsculpt® treatments can see a 16% increase in muscle mass. You can see increased firmness and tone within days of treatment, with results improving after each session. Each treatment can also remove additional fat to make your newly defined muscles more visible. Your Emsculpt® results may become less visible if your weight changes after treatment, but fat cells removed with this treatment will not grow back. 

Am I a Good Candidate for Emsculpt® Body Sculpting?

Emsculpt® works safely and effectively for most people. Good candidates are close to their target weight but have problem areas they want to treat. Those with more body fat can still have Emsculpt®, but their results will be less visible. Candidates should have reasonable expectations and be prepared to maintain their increased muscle mass with regular exercise.
