You’ve probably seen quite a few nonsurgical body contouring treatments that help you get rid of stubborn fat, but that’s where their benefits stop. EMSCULPT® is a cutting-edge body contouring tool that not only helps you burn fat, but it also helps your body build muscle. Thanks to this unique benefit, EMSCULPT is now incredibly popular among men who want to achieve a more sculpted and toned physique but aren’t quite seeing the results they’d hoped for from the gym.
Before you start searching for EMSCULPT near you to schedule your appointment, here’s what you need to know about this amazing new technology.
What Is EMSCULPT?
EMSCULPT is a nonsurgical cosmetic treatment that uses non-invasive high-Intensity focused electromagnetic field technology to stimulate the muscles in the targeted area. This triggers a specific type of muscle contraction, known as supramaximal muscle contraction, which is impossible to achieve through even the most vigorous of exercises. This process stimulates muscle growth and aids in fat removal at the same time.
A single EMSCULPT session can give your body the physical benefits of doing 20,000 crunches!
Who’s a Good Candidate for EMSCULPT?
Like other nonsurgical body contouring tools, EMSCULPT isn’t meant to take the place of a healthy diet and exercise. But it can help you achieve your fitness goals, even when exercise falls short. Most men and women who are in good physical health, are close to their target weight and want to slim down and shape up can be excellent candidates for this procedure.
How Long Does EMSCULPT Take?
One of the biggest perks of EMSCULPT body contouring is that you can see amazing results in as little as one 30-minute session. However, most people can maximize their body-sculpting results after a series of about 4 treatments, each spaced a few days apart.
This is where EMSCULPT really shines, since you won’t have to wait weeks in between each appointment, and you should start to notice improvements in your physique in just a day or two.
Keep in mind that while EMSCULPT can be a quick and convenient alternative to surgical procedures like liposuction, your nonsurgical results may not be as dramatic. And if tightening loose skin is a top priority, a tummy tuck could be the most effective solution.
What to Expect after EMSCULPT
There’s no downtime after EMSCULPT, so you can resume your normal daily life right after your appointment. Over the next few days, you may experience some muscle soreness, similar to the feeling you get after a heavy workout. Many men and women start to see results in as little as 1 or 2 days after their treatment, with full results developing over the next 2 to 8 weeks.
For best results, your experienced provider will recommend multiple EMSCULPT sessions. The exact number of treatments you’ll need and how long it takes you to see your full outcome will vary from person to person. Discuss these details with your provider during your consultation to help you plan your nonsurgical body contouring timeline.
Are EMSCULPT Results Permanent?
EMSCULPT results are permanent in the sense that once the fat cells are destroyed, they’re gone for good. But you can still gain new fat in the treated area, and muscles can become weak again without regular use. For long-lasting EMSCULPT results, maintain a healthy diet and regular workout routine.
