Emsculpt

I like the 5-10 day rule with a lean towards 7-10 days for most patients. This timeframe ensures adequate recovery time for the muscles and from the RF thermal energy. Consider Neo treatments as you would any workout...you will have the initial "pump" following the workout, but the lasting results do not typically show up for 4-6 weeks following the treatment package. So, all told, you are looking at a 2-3 month process with adequately spaced treatments, needed recovery (and hydration!), sufficient removal of the adipose tissue from the thermal applicators.

I have received radically different quotes regarding the minimum time between Emsculpt Neo treatments to maximize results. Doctors in NYC seem to space them out 2-3 days. The standard seems to be 5-10 days. But I was also just told by a doctor that to maximize the benefits of the equipment treatments need to be 14 days apart so the thermal energy setting can be maximized (which has an added benefit of skin tightening). What's the truth if you want to maximize all benefits and not waste $?

Emsculpt Neo - Time between treatments?

The history of the partial SBO with adhesions will not limit your ability to have an abdominal EmSculpt treatment. The penetration of the RF heat will not reach into the abdominal cavity, and if you have an EmSculpt Neo treatment, the added HIFEM contractions will not bother this either. Superficial skin scars may react to the RF heat, but there are plenty of ways to avoid or work around them depending on the location. For the hamstring, I would assume you are considering the buttock application for the EmSculpt. If this is the case, I generally consider these on a case-by-case basis, but if you can have an MRI, then you can have EmSculpt when it comes to clips/anchors. I hope this helps!!

I have 2 questions about whether Emsculpt is safe for me. I have had a past partial small bowel obstruction from internal scar adhesions. It resolved on ts own without surgery. I also have had a hamstring tear reattached to my ischia with titanium suture anchors. ( I fell downhill skiing) Will either of these issues make Emsculpt a problem for me. Or make it risky to have Emsculpt? I am a very healthy 67 year old woman. No other health issues.

Will past surgeries make Emsculpt a problem for me?

I believe you would be the optimal candidate for EmSculpt of the abdomen. The muscle toning and body contouring would help to tighten the muscles and eliminate what little separation you have. We have had some success treating men and women with abdominal muscle separation (diastasis recti) that were in much worse shape than you.

I’ve already tried cooltone. It gave me marginal improvement after doing 2 packages of 5 sessions each. I’m scheduled to get a mini TT and MR in mid April so I’m just making sure I shouldn’t consider this. I’m 5’5, 118 lbs, and very fit.

A good rule of thumb when utilizing EmSculpt post-operatively is to wait until you have been cleared by the OB/GYN following the surgery and your incision has completely healed. Furthermore, being diligent with applicator placement to avoid your scar is key. We have been able to do most post-caesarean abdominal EmSculpt treatments without issue by using both applicators around the scar or careful positioning of a single applicator above the scar.

How long after a C-section can I do an Emsculpt session on my abdominal muscles?

I have had several patients discuss getting EmSculpt treatment packages around various surgeries and I am a firm believer that getting them done prior to a surgery, especially one with extended down time, is much more beneficial. Following the completion of your package, the results do take 4-6 weeks to really settle in. I like to tell patients that just like working out at the gym, you get the initial "pump" from the individual treatments, but the lasting results of body contouring and muscle building show up later on. I have had some patients even comment that the pre-op EmSculpt treatments helped them recover better from the surgery. Hope this helps!!

I bought a pack of Emsculpt sessions I want to use, but I am also scheduled for a breast reduction. I'm not sure if I should do the Emsculpt sessions before or after the surgery, which will require ~6 weeks of recovery time without much exercise. I've seen that Emsculpt results can take a few weeks to show up, so I wonder if I should do it before the surgery. But then if I am inactive for 6 weeks, will that reduce or interfere with results? Should I wait until after the surgery to do Emsculpt?

Getting Emsculpt before a breast reduction surgery - Will Emsculpt results last through 6 weeks of recovery without exercise?
