Can Emsculpting machine help me lose weight? That’s a great question! Let’s jump right into it with the scoop on this non-surgical, non-invasive body sculpting machine technique that has revolutionized the industry. 

Millions of Americans are frustrated with the appearance of stubborn body fat. Areas like the belly, butt, thighs, and love handles tend to collect fat, and sometimes all the crunches crunched and carbs cut in the world won’t get rid of it. That’s where body sculpting techniques come in. Emsculpt non-invasive treatments can melt away fat without the need for expensive surgery or lengthy recovery periods.

Can Emsculpt help lose weight?

If your goal is a slimmer, more toned body, then Emsculpt slim beauty is what you’re looking for. The important thing to remember is Emsculpt is not a weight loss program but a body contouring treatment. So, the short answer is no. While you can expect to lose a small amount of weight, the Emsculpt treatment is not designed for a significant loss of weight but a loss of fat as well as the growth of muscle.

How does Emsculpt work to sculpt, tone, and eliminate fat if it doesn’t help me lose weight?

Emsculpt works with the use of a device that is attached to targeted areas of the body. The HIFEM technology stimulates muscles to make them flex as they do during exercise.

This flex, called a supramaximal contraction, repeats up to 20,000 times over a 30-minute period. The body then breaks down and metabolizes the fat in the targeted area because of the energy used to cause the flexes. Your Emsculpt results? Nothing short of amazing!

How do know is an ideal candidate for Emsculpt?

The best candidates for Emsculpt treatment are men and women who are within 30 pounds of their ideal weight. Emsculpt is designed to remove stubborn pockets of fat while increasing muscle mass in the arms, legs, stomach, and buttocks. It is vital you have a healthy lifestyle before Emsculpt treatments and plan to maintain the same lifestyle afterward.

Who is Emsculpt for?

People in good overall shape:

Doctors are quick to stress that this and other body contouring treatments are not meant for weight loss. People who want to lose weight for health reasons should speak to their doctor to formulate a diet and exercise plan that’s right for them. Body sculpting, on the other hand, is a way for people who are already at or near their target body weight to melt away stubborn fat that’s not responding to their diet and exercise routine.

The results will stick around as long as you maintain the same healthy lifestyle you had before the treatment. We recommend this treatment for people who have an inch or less of fat on the targeted area of treatment. More than an inch may impede the electromagnetic pulses from the Emsculpt machine from reaching the targeted muscles.

Those who want to tone muscle and melt fat:

Emsculpt is very effective at melting away body fat. This one, however, goes one step further by building muscle in the area of treatment in addition to melting away a similar amount of fat. If building muscle in addition to slimming down unwanted bulges is your goal, and diet and exercise aren’t getting the job done on their own, Emsculpt treatment might be the one for you.

Women who have been pregnant:

Women who have gone through pregnancy are especially good candidates for Emsculpt treatment. That’s because two-thirds of them have a condition called diastasis recti, in which the front stomach muscles have lost their initial shape due to being pushed outwards during pregnancy. Emsculpt works to strengthen those muscles, which can pull them back into place, reversing diastasis recti.

People who have rules out invasive surgery

Invasive liposuction surgery can remove more fat in one sitting than body sculpting treatments like this, which is why some people choose to go with it. It has a number of downsides when compared to non-invasive alternatives, it’s more expensive, requires anesthesia, and requires a few days’ worth of downtime for recovery.

Liposuction patients also have to wait a couple of weeks after treatment before resuming normal activities like working out. All of these downsides are a lot for a surgery that, like Emsculpt body sculpting, still requires several weeks’ worth of waiting before results become fully visible. If you have done the research and decided that an invasive liposuction surgery is not right for you, Emsculpt fat-zapping treatment might be a viable alternative.

Who should avoid Emsculpt treatment?

Anyone with metal implants:

People with any kind of metal implants, including pacemakers and copper IUDs, are ineligible for this treatment. The electromagnetic pulses will interact with the metal.

Women who are expecting:

As a rule, pregnant women are discouraged from undergoing body sculpting treatments of all kinds. These treatments use the body’s natural processes to break down and flush away body fat, and during pregnancy, the energy required for those processes should be going to the pregnancy instead.

How does Emsculpt burn fat?

Emsculpt procedure is on the cutting edge of body contouring technology. By using high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy channeled through large paddles, it stimulates supramaximal muscle contractions in your targeted muscle groups. These contractions are involuntary and are induced at a rate of approximately 20,000 contractions per 30 minutes, that’s like doing 20,000 crunches or squats in half an hour!

By signaling your muscles to use more energy, you’re able to target local fat stores in your problem area and see the fat melt away. The end results are an approximate 16% increase in muscle mass with a simultaneous average of 15% fat decrease.

The quick, repetitive contractions in your targeted muscle groups cause a chain reaction in your muscles:

1.The muscles release a chemical signaling local fat cells to break down in order to sustain the rapid contractions with adequate energy.

2.This process of lipolysis, or fat cell destruction, metabolizes local fat cells.

3.The fat cells are eventually broken down completely and expelled by your body as waste.

4.Thanks to the pulsing electromagnetic energy, your body’s process of metabolizing fat cells are optimized at nearly 5x the normal rate during this procedure.

What happens to Muscles

The fat-burning nature of Emsculpt treatments is a secondary effect of the hyper-contraction of your targeted muscle group. As your body burns fat to provide energy for your contracting muscles, your targeted muscle group is undergoing a change of its own. Muscle fibers tighten in response to the supramaximal contractions, this forces your muscles to completely remodel their original structure at the cell level, resulting in a firmer, more toned appearance. Over the course of several sessions, your muscles will contract close to 100,000 times, and you’ll see improvement in muscle tone and definition as early as a day or two after the first session.
