EMSCULPT: Build Muscle and Burn Fat Without Training
EMSCULPT is a non-invasive body contouring treatment that builds muscle and helps reduce fat deposits at the same time, with no trips to the gym and no surgery. It uses advanced HIFEM technology to induce powerful muscle contractions, so that during a single treatment the body experiences up to 20.000 supramaximal contractions. You can find out more about the treatment on the EMSCULPT page.
How does EMSCULPT work?
The device is placed directly on the target area of the body, for example the abdomen, buttocks, arms or thighs, and uses electromagnetic pulses to induce rhythmic, very intense muscle contractions. The body responds to this stimulation much as it would to strenuous exercise, but to a degree that cannot be achieved through voluntary effort.
Two processes take place simultaneously during the treatment:
- Muscle building: muscle mass and the strength of muscle fibres increase through intense contractions.
- Fat burning: metabolic processes accelerate, which helps reduce fat deposits, particularly those that are difficult to shift through diet and training.
Who is EMSCULPT for?
EMSCULPT is an excellent choice for people at a stable body weight who want to contour and define their body. It is most often chosen by:
- those who want better muscle definition but do not have time for regular training;
- clients who want to contour specific areas, such as the abdomen or buttocks;
- anyone who wants results without surgery, pain or a long recovery;
- women and men who want a firm, toned abdomen, lifted buttocks or sculpted arms and thighs.
What does the treatment involve and how many are needed?
One area takes about 30 minutes to treat, and the treatment is entirely non-invasive, with no pain and no recovery period. A series of about 4 treatments over 2 weeks is recommended, with occasional additional treatments to maintain the effect. EMSCULPT fits well into a broader body contouring plan alongside treatments such as EmTone. Current prices can be found in the price list.
What to expect during and after the treatment
During the treatment you lie down comfortably and feel strong but tolerable muscle contractions in the treated area. Many people describe the sensation as unusual at first, but the body adjusts quickly. As the treatment is non-invasive, there is no recovery afterwards and you can return to your activities immediately. The following day you may feel mild muscle soreness, similar to that after an intense workout, which is a sign that the muscles have been working.
EMSCULPT as a complement to a healthy lifestyle
It is important to understand that EMSCULPT is not a substitute for weight loss, nor for a balanced diet and physical activity. It is a complement to a healthy lifestyle that helps build and define muscle and contour particular areas of the body. The best and most lasting results are achieved by people at a stable body weight who maintain regular activity and a good diet alongside the treatment.
When are the results of EMSCULPT visible?
Because EMSCULPT promotes muscle building and a reduction in fat deposits, results develop gradually as the muscles respond to the intense stimulation. Many clients already notice a firmer, more toned feeling in the treated area during the course of treatments, while a more visible effect on body contours is usually observed a few weeks after the series is completed. Occasional additional treatments are recommended to maintain results, as is regular physical activity. As every body is different, your therapist will adapt the schedule and the number of treatments to your goals and current condition.
Frequently asked questions
How does EMSCULPT build muscle and reduce fat?
EMSCULPT uses HIFEM technology, which uses electromagnetic pulses to induce powerful, supramaximal muscle contractions, far more intense than those we can achieve voluntarily. The body responds by building muscle fibres, while the accelerated metabolism simultaneously helps reduce fat deposits.
Which areas of the body can be treated with EMSCULPT?
The areas most often treated are the abdomen, buttocks, arms and thighs. EMSCULPT is suitable for both women and men who want better muscle definition and a firmer, more sculpted body.
How many treatments are needed?
A series of about 4 treatments over 2 weeks is recommended. To maintain the effect achieved, occasional additional treatments can be carried out in consultation with your therapist.
Is EMSCULPT painful and is there a recovery period?
The treatment is entirely non-invasive, with no pain, no bruising and no recovery. During the treatment you feel strong muscle contractions, and the following day mild muscle soreness is possible, similar to that after a good workout.
Who is EMSCULPT best suited to?
EMSCULPT is ideal for people at a stable body weight who want to define and contour particular areas of the body. It is not a substitute for weight loss, but a complement to a healthy lifestyle that helps build muscle and shape the body.
