About EMSCULPT in Santa Monica

EMSCULPT is a non-invasive procedure that uses a special process called High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) to deliver energy to the target area. The electromagnetic energy causes your muscles to intensely contract. These intense muscular contractions, called supramaximal contractions, burn fat while they increase muscle growth in the desired area. This technology has been used abroad to administer physiotherapy for people who need to strengthen certain muscle groups. 

Clinically tested: EMSCULPT achieves an average of 16% muscle increase with an average of 19% fat reduction.[1]

Each treatment with EMSCULPT causes 20,000 powerful muscle contractions, beyond what anyone can accomplish on their own in any workout session. The device has a built-in release for the lactic acid from the muscles to prevent pain and soreness from the treatment.

THe EMSCULPT process creates muscle fatigue in the treatment area. As with manual workouts, the body must repair the muscles. The breakdown and repair process creates stronger and more defined muscles. Your body will begin to eliminate fat and build muscle beyond what is possible through physical training alone. This results in better muscle tone and enhanced fat metabolism post-treatment.

How to Prepare for EMSCULPT

One great thing about EMSCULPT is that it requires no special preparation. The day before your EMSCULPT session, you want to make sure to drink at least 2 liters of water. Staying hydrated is always important. Refrain from drinking alcohol or caffeine on the day before your session. Do not eat for 2 hours before your scheduled session.

What to Expect the Day of the Procedure

The EMSCULPT is straightforward. Once you arrive at the Derm & Rejuvenation Institute, we will make you comfortable in your private room. We will secure the applicators and then you can simply relax and allow EMSCULPT to do all the work. Sessions last 30 minutes. We recommend four initial sessions with follow-up sessions every 3-4 months.

Recovery & Results

Emsculpt

There is no downtime from an EMSCULPT session. The EMSCULPT machine has a built-in mechanism to diminish the effects of the lactic acid released from the muscle contractions. Most patients are very comfortable immediately after treatment.

Your body will begin to make new muscles after each treatment that is roughly equivalent to 20,000 contractions. You will see improvement as early as 1 month. Clinical trials show you can achieve a 16% increase in muscle tone with 4 sessions, received within 2 weeks. The study also shows 19% fat reduction in the targeted area with these treatments.[2] Increased muscle mass has also been clinically documented.[3]

EMSCULPT with CoolSculpting

EMSCULPT and the popular CoolSculpting work great in combination. They form a synergistic connection that magnifies the results from either procedure. Together they form a dual approach to sculpting you the body you deserve. If you’re looking to build muscle tone, EMSCULPT is the way to go. However, stunning body contouring results may require additional tightening and diminishing significant pockets of fat. These results are best accomplished through CoolSculpting along with EMSCULPT. During your consultation, we can determine the optimal treatment strategy to craft you the most alluring result.

Complementary Procedures 

Buttocks: The EMSCULPT produces increased tone and firming of the actual gluteal muscles. It is often paired up with Sculptra for butt volumization and CoolSculpting for eliminating the unwanted fat under the butt or around the thighs.

Abdomen: EMSCULPT reveals abdominal muscle tone and builds a tauter physique. The laxity of the skin above can be corrected with Ultherapy or various lasers to induce tightening. Additional pockets of fat can be eliminated with CoolSculpting for the best results.

How Much Does EMSCULPT Cost

EMSCULPT treatments are tailored to each individual and their goals. After your initial consultation, we can provide you with clear and transparent pricing. Don’t fret; at the Derm & Rejuvenation Institute, we have no hidden costs.

FAQ

Does EMSCULPT get rid of cellulite?

EMSCULPT uses HIFEM (High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic) technology to induce muscle growth in the treatment areas. Areas of dimpling from cellulite are best treated using Sculptra.

How long does EMSCULPT last?

Muscle mass gained by EMSCULPT is subject to atrophy if it is not regularly stimulated. Because our body atrophies without stimulation, most patients exercise and attend follow-up up sessions annually for maintenance.

Does EMSCULPT make you stronger?

EMSCULPT is an FDA-approved body contouring treatment that uses electromagnetic waves and a magnetic field to stimulate strong muscle contractions. On average, patients had a 16% increase in muscle mass with a 19% fat reduction in the treatment area.

What does EMSCULPT feel like?

During EMSCULPT, you are laying on a treatment bed and the applicator will be placed on the treatment area for 30 minutes. You will feel strong contractions, but it is not painful. EMSCULPT is non-invasive and does not require anesthesia or pain meds.

How long does an EMSCULPT session take?

One EMSCULPT area takes 30 minutes. EMSCULPT can be considered a “lunchtime procedure” since you’ll still have time to enjoy some sushi on your lunch break!
