What is
Emsculpt®?

Emsculpt®™ is the first ever FDA-approved technology to help build muscle and burn fat at the same time. It works by causing your muscles to contract over 20,000 times in just one 30 minute session. Areas that can be treated include the abdomen, buttocks, arms and legs. The number of sessions will depend on your personal goals.

Emsculpt® is the only FDA-approved body sculpting technology that has been proven to help men and women build muscle and burn fat at the same time. It works by causing the muscles to contract thousands of times in just one 30 minute session with no recovery or downtime. It’s great for patients who want to build muscle and for a toned appearance.

Emsculpt® helps increase muscle mass and fat reduction in the treated body parts one month after the last treatment. This is a great option for those that are wishing to build muscle mass and muscle tone in the abdomen, buttocks, arms or calves.

The minimum number of treatments recommended is four treatments within a two week period, spaced 2-3 days apart.
