Until recently, body contouring treatments targeted fat and skin with laser energy, radiofrequency, and cooling effects. Consequently, women and men could only achieve a circumferential reduction of a flabby belly and not the sculpted abdominal muscles they desire.
Fortunately, EMSculpt® is a breakthrough non-surgical procedure that simultaneously burns fat and builds muscle for a strong, toned abdomen. It’s also FDA-approved to lift and firm the buttocks, making it an excellent alternative to a surgical butt lift or augmentation.
During your initial consultation, you will have the opportunity to pose all your questions about the procedure, including how much does EMSculpt® cost? Keep reading to learn all about the benefits of EMSculpt®, how it works, the average cost, and what the treatment feels like.
With body contouring expert Dr. Tina West and the experts at The West Institute, EMSculpt® is a simple procedure that delivers safe, effective results for men and women looking to enhance their physique.
EMSculpt® — A Breakthrough Body Contouring Treatment
Not only is EMSculpt® the first non-invasive procedure to impact both fat and muscle but it’s also the only device that uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy to shape the body.
These electromagnetic waves initiate 20,000 supramaximal muscle contractions that increase the release of free fatty acids and cause adipose cells to implode and facilitate the remodeling of muscles.
As a result, EMSculpt®’s HIFEM achieves a unique combination of fat reduction, strengthening, toning, and lifting in the abdomen and buttocks.
How Much Does EMSculpt® Cost?
The price per EMSculpt® session often depends on geographic location and can vary from practice to practice. On average, a single treatment is $750 to $1000. As clinical protocol recommends 4 sessions to achieve optimal outcomes, patients can expect to pay $3000 to $4000 for EMSculpt®.
Keep in mind that this amount is far less than an abdominoplasty, Brazilian butt lift, or injectable butt augmentation, which can be thousands of dollars more.
Does EMSculpt® Hurt?
EMSculpt® is non-invasive, non-surgical, and quick at only 30 minutes per session. As EMSculpt® requires no downtime, patients can immediately resume their normal activities after their session. Our experts recommend scheduling your EMSculpt® treatments 2 to 3 days apart to achieve your best results.
EMSculpt® treatments are also painless and similar to an intense abdominal or gluteal workout. However, with EMSculpt®, patients get to comfortably recline and relax, while the device exerts all the effort. The next day, patients may experience temporary muscle soreness; however, many patients describe the discomfort as less intense than following a traditional workout.
It is important to avoid strenuously exercising the treated muscle group for at least 2 days after an EMSculpt® session to allow the muscles to recuperate.
When Will I See My EMSculpt® Results?
Each patient will see individual results following their Chevy Chase EMSculpt® body sculpting treatments. Results vary based on factors like age, physical condition, and initial BMI. Typically, visible results are noticeable—increased muscle mass and decreased subcutaneous fat—in 2 to 4 weeks following EMSculpt® treatments. Improvements will continue for 3 to 6 months with muscle mass lasting up to a year.
Are My EMSculpt® Results Permanent?
Following an EMSculpt® body contouring treatment, patients can maintain their results by making healthy lifestyle choices, including a nutritious diet and exercise routine. The fat cells destroyed through the EMSculpt® treatment are permanently gone. However, it is important to avoid significant weight gain as the remaining fat cells can continue to grow, impacting your results.
Our body sculpting experts may recommend a follow-up treatment every 3 to 6 months to maintain optimal results.
What Are the Benefits of EMSculpt® Body Contouring?
Non-surgical EMSculpt® offers many benefits. Studies show that patients achieved an average 16 percent increase in muscle mass and 19 percent reduction in fat after 4 EMSculpt® treatments.
By melting fat and building muscles, EMSculpt® helps produce reliable results that deliver a more defined physique that can enhance your confidence. Other benefits include:
- No downtime. Patients can return to their normal routine immediately after treatment.
- Fast and easy. Each EMSculpt® treatment takes about 30 minutes per area.
- Quick results. Patients can achieve noticeable results in as few as 2 weeks.
- Long-lasting results. With a continued healthy lifestyle, EMSculpt® results last up to a year, and follow-up treatments every 3 months can help ensure optimal results.
With unique FDA-approved applicators, EMSculpt® can be performed on targeted body areas to achieve optimal results while leaving the surrounding areas untouched. Areas include:
- Abdomen
- Buttocks, non-surgical butt lift
- Abdominal separation (diastasis recti)
- Arms, biceps and triceps
- Legs and calves
Is EMSculpt® Right for Me?
Safe and effective EMSculpt® is an ideal body sculpting treatment for healthy women and men who want to accomplish a leaner, more defined physique. These patients want to increase muscle mass and burn excess fat in the treated areas to strengthen, tone, and redefine their bodies.
Typically, ideal candidates are those who are already following a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced nutrition and fitness routine, with a BMI of 30 or below.
