Will Emsculpt make my loose skin from childbirth worse?

Hi Deb,

Emsculpt builds muscle by electro-magnetic energy stimulating the nerves that cause supra maximal contractions of the core abdominal muscles.  Emsculpt is the only FDA approved safe, easy, and clinically proven technology that builds muscle and decreases abdominal fat.  As your muscle mass increases, some of your loose skin slack should be taken up.  Emsculpt also is useful in post partum woman who have diastasis recti (separation of the connective tissue between the abdominal muscles after giving birth), strengthening the muscles and decreasing the separation/weakness caused during pregnancy.  In our practice we add Venus Legacy treatments if any loose skin persists.  Choose your physician most carefully.  Good luck and be well.

Hello, Thank you for your question. You will need to consult with a physician in person to determine if EmSculpt will be the right treatment for you. We are seeing some tightening of the skin, but it will depend on how loose yours is. Good luck!

Unfortunately Emsculpt only increases muscle bulk and tone with some concomitant fat layer reduction and has little to no effect on loosened skin. A consult with a plastic surgeon will determine whether or not you actually need abdominplasty to address this issue.
