- abs -

When you already have the 2 pack abs, how do you get the 4 pack or 6 pack? How many crunches do you need to do? It takes an extraordinary amount of exercise and diet to get definition. OR it takes Emsculpt, the first device of its kind to build muscle and sculpt the body. One Emsculpt session is the equivalent of 20,000 crunches.

EMSculpt gives a huge boost to your exercise regimen. As a non-invasive body sculpting solution, improved muscle tone has been proven through MRI, CT scan and ultrasound. This FDA cleared device is suitable for men and women of all ages for the strengthening, toning and firming of the abdomen, buttocks, thighs, and arms.

Just about everyone in the cosmetic space has been talking about the EMSculpt device over the last 2+ years. It's an outstanding body sculpting treatment that uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic technology to sculpt your muscles and burn fat. The term HIFEM has also been thrown around a lot, but what exactly is it and is it the secret behind Emsculpt's popularity? Keep reading to find out!

What's the Scoop on Body Sculpting Anyway?

Body sculpting, also known as non-invasive body contouring, is a procedure that safely removes stubborn fat without surgery. There are some treatments, like Emsculpt, that can even tone and strengthen muscle. However, not all body sculpting treatments are the same. For instance, Coolsculpting only removes fat that can fit between two cold plates.

So, What Is HIFEM Technology for Emsculpt That's Supposed to Be Cutting Edge?

HIFEM technology is a way to rapidly contract muscle groups like in your abdomen, arms, and chest. Magnetic fields that pass through your muscles create electric currents. It's just like you've done over 20,000 muscle toning and strength-building exercises in just thirty minutes.

I Don't Want to Take Time Off Work - Is There Downtime When Using HIFEM Technology?

Treatment with Emsculpt is painless and requires zero downtime afterward. Most people choose to relax during their body sculpting treatment by napping or browsing their phones. You may experience the same level of soreness the next day as you would after a strenuous workout.

Can I Have Multiple Treatments With Emsculpt?

You can, and should, have several treatments if you wish to achieve the amazing Emsculpt results you want. In fact, it's suggested that for optimal results, you should schedule anywhere between 2-4 treatments depending on your technician's recommendation. However, if you feel you could just use a touch-up, you can still come in for just one treatment and see positive results.

Duration of Results

Following an exercise regimen after the treatment plan maintains the muscle built by Emsculpt for many years. It is possible that you will not need any further sessions.

For others who do not follow a consistent exercise program after the Emsculpt sessions, we recommend maintenance treatments anywhere from 6-12 months after the final session.

Muscles start to weaken and sag without continued exertion and exercise. Aging and gravity are constantly working against the anatomy. Exercising regularly is a good plan for everyone, especially those who wish to maintain their results. However, most people cannot do the amount of crunches as in one Emsculpt treatment, so treatment plans are sold in packages of 6 sessions.

When Results Appear

Most patients see improvement after four sessions, scheduled twice a week. There may be initial changes in as little as 2 weeks, but final results do not occur until 3 months. Some patients may need more treatments depending on their goals. The results vary from person to person, and an exact result cannot be predicted.

Treatment plan

The minimum recommended number of treatments is 4, depending on your goals and BMI. The treatment is 30 minutes per session on the machine, with sessions separated by at least 2 days. Completing a full treatment series is necessary to maximize treatment efficacy. The results start to appear in as little as 2 weeks, and will typically continue to improve over the next three months.

Before the treatment, you are not required to do anything special; however, keeping your body well hydrated is recommended to reduce cramping. Dress comfortably on the days of treatment. Take off all jewelry and items with metal such as belt, underwire bras, coins or credit cards. Wear light clothing. Some Lululemon leggings have metallic fibers, so do not wear that brand of legging to the treatment. All electronic devices such as phones, watches, iPads, and computers must be surrendered, because the electromagnetic energy will heat metal and harm electronic devices.

Pricing

Emsculpt is considered a cosmetic procedure. It is not an FSA eligible expense.

The initial consultation for Emsculpt® is free. Each Emsculpt session costs $199. A treatment plan of a minimum 6 sessions is always needed. They can be paid individually, or as part of a package. A 20% discount will be applied for packages over 6 sessions. Once a patient has completed the initial package of 6 treatments, maintenance packages of 4 treatments for $716 ($179 each) are available to help you maintain your results.

If exercise is not regularly performed, we recommend that maintenance session be performed 6-12 months after the initial completion of the treatment plan. It is always wiser to have a maintenance session performed before the muscles have completely sagged. Otherwise it may take 4 treatments again to get the muscles toned.

Prior FVPS patients who have had CoolSculpting, Ultimate Contour, liposuction, a tummy tuck, or other select procedures are immediately eligible for an additional discount on their first treatment plan as returning preferred patients. Ask us if your previous treatment qualifies.

Work out with a buddy, and save 50%. Two people can share their Emsculpt sessions for the abdomen. Have your buddy to pay you back for her share so you both benefit. Ask us for more details on dual Emsculpting.

What's included during a session

Emsculpt - EMSculpt is a non-invasive body treatment that uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to stimulate muscle contractions in targeted areas of the body. It's primarily used for building muscle and reducing fat in areas like the abdomen, buttocks, thighs, and arms. By targeting specific muscle groups, the treatment aims to enhance muscle definition, tone, and overall appearance of the treated area.

Laser Lipo - Laser lipolysis (or laser lipo) is a minimally invasive procedure that uses laser energy to break down fat cells. Combining EMSculpt with laser lipo can yield enhanced results by reducing fat in a targeted area while simultaneously toning the underlying muscles.

Double Chin Treatment with Red Light Therapy: Red light therapy is often used to reduce fat and improve skin texture in areas like the double chin. It promotes collagen production and increases blood circulation, which can help with skin tightening. Using red light therapy on the double chin area during EMSculpt or just laser lipo treatment can help enhance fat removal and improve skin elasticity, leading to a smoother and more contoured appearance.

LED Face Mask: LED masks utilize varying wavelengths of light to treat specific skin concerns such as acne, pigmentation, and signs of aging. Some settings promote healing, reduce inflammation, and stimulate collagen production. During body contouring treatments, incorporating an LED face mask can help enhance skin recovery, reduce redness, and improve overall skin tone and texture, complementing facial rejuvenation efforts. Combining EMSculpt with laser lipo, red light therapy for double chin, and LED face masks can provide comprehensive body and facial contouring results.
