EMSculpt: Burn Fat and Build Muscle

EMSculpt is a form of body contouring – a procedure that can remove stubborn fat without the need for surgery.

It is one of the first treatments that can provide muscle toning, fat loss, or both in the same session. It uses High-Intensity Electromagnetic Energy to tighten muscles and burn fat in stubborn areas. A single 30-minute session of EMSculpt is equivalent to 20,000 squats or sit-ups.

How can EMSculpt work for me?

HIFEM EMSculpt can be used to reduce fat deposits while toning the muscle, or it can just tone the muscle. The option you choose will depend on your preferences. It can be used to target specific muscle groups that are difficult to target through exercise alone – for example, the glutes. EMSculpt can provide a non-invasive butt lift by targeting the glute muscles. Alternatively, it can be used to reduce the stubborn fat that often collects around the waistline. Because EMSculpt is so efficient at targeting chosen muscles, it is more efficient than working out for strengthening your muscle fibres. On average, most people see a 16% increase in muscle mass and 19% decrease in fat.

How many treatments will I need?

The number of treatments you need will depend on your desired results. We recommend a minimum of 4 treatments for best results.

You should space your treatments 2-3 days apart, or up to a week apart.

How long will it take to see results?

While some people will see immediate results, most will need to wait around 4-6 weeks.

Will I feel sore after my EMsculpt treatment?

If you go to the gym, you’ll be familiar with the feeling of DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness). HIFEM EMSculpt has been designed to minimise DOMS. Between muscle contractions, there is a resting period which flushes lactic acid (which causes soreness) out of the area. However, you may experience some soreness after your treatment. Ensure that you avoid exercising for a couple of days to allow your muscles time to heal.

This treatment requires no downtime. You are free to go about your day as normal afterwards.

What should I expect during my EMSculpt treatment?

You will lie down in a comfortable position and an applicator will be placed on the desired area. You will feel your muscles contracting and relaxing during the treatment.

Are results permanent?

EMSculpt has two main effects: burning fat and building muscle.

Fat cells are destroyed permanently by the process, but if you gain weight the remaining fat cells can become larger.

If you stop going to the gym for a while, you can end up losing some of your muscle. This also applies to EMSculpt. For best results, pair EMSculpt with healthy habits such as a good diet and exercise routine. Alternatively, you can have periodic ‘top-up’ EMSculpt sessions. Your practitioner will be able to assist you with a strategy for maintaining your results.

Can anybody have the EMSculpt treatment?

If your BMI is normal, you are a good candidate for EMSculpt. If the layer of fat under your skin is too thick, the electromagnetic energy will not be able to reach the desired muscles.

EMSculpt can also help postpartum women to tighten up abdominal muscles that have expanded, as well as strengthen your pelvic floor.

Unfortunately if you have had metal implants or you are currently pregnant, you cannot undergo this treatment.

What are the most popular treatment areas?

The most popular treatment area for men is the abs. For women, it is the butt. Trendy surgeries such as the Brazillian Butt Lift (BBL) carry many risks. HIFEM EMSculpt is a far safer option. Instead of inserting something beneath the skin, it merely enhances what you already have. Plus, there’s no downtime!
