EMSculpt Calgary Chaparral

EMSculpt is the first FDA-approved energy device to burn fat and build muscle mass. It’s a no-downtime, pain-free, non-surgical way to define the abs and lift the buttocks. EMSculpt contracts muscles beyond what is possible through physical training, yielding better muscle tone and enhanced fat metabolism.

Your technician will set the intensity at about 20% for the first few contractions to allow you to adapt to the sensation. It can be uncomfortable initially, as this is a new sensation for your body. Gradually, the intensity is increased fully, and by the end of the treatment, the treated muscle will feel fatigued.

The EMSculpt procedure doesn’t require any downtime. You can return to your daily routine immediately, but your muscles will probably be sore for a few days following treatment, just as they would be after a normal workout.

Results can be seen within a few days of treatment, but it takes six to 12 weeks to see the full benefits of muscular growth and fat loss. Results vary between patients, and a successful treatment outcome can be affected by lifestyle habits.

Once the fat cells have been eliminated, they’re gone for good, and the muscle gains will be long-lasting. While muscle volume remains, strength and tone gradually diminish but can be maintained at the gym.

While anyone can benefit from an EMSculpt procedure, people with more than one inch of pinchable fat may benefit from CoolSculpting prior to receiving the EMSculpt treatment. While the HIFEM waves do penetrate up to 7cm, the fat layer cannot be too thick to truly appreciate the muscle improvement and see definition.

Patients with diastasis recti, a separation of the abdominal muscle associated with pregnancy, have shown to have an improvement or reduction of that separation by 11% with EMSculpt. New parents also report that EMSculpt helps support a leaner and stronger body when they can’t get to the gym as much as they would like to.

BTL, the manufacturer of EMSculpt, conducted seven studies with over 200 patients on the abdomen and buttocks. The studies show how effective EMSculpt is at burning fat and increasing muscle mass. They measured fat and muscle with imaging (CT scans and MRI studies), comparing photos before and after treatment and measuring changes in waistline measurements. On average, the following were achieved in clinical studies on healthy patients: - 19% reduction of fat, 4cm (1.5 inches) loss in waistline circumference, - 16% increase in muscle mass, - 11% reduction in abdominal muscle separation (called diastasis recti), - 5x increase in fat metabolism (apoptotic index increased from 19% to 92% after treatment), - 80% of patients have a visible lifting effect on the buttocks, - And 96% patient satisfaction.

Yes, the focused electromagnetic energy from EMSculpt is safe. A possible side effect may be mild soreness similar to that after a muscle workout.

Yes, EMSCulpt can be combined with non-invasive fat removal procedures like CoolSculpting to enhance fat reduction. For the buttocks, Ultherapy may be combined with EMSculpt to shape and lift.
