I had a hip replacement in December 2017. Should I avoid Emsculpt? Could it damage the new joint with the energy waves?

Yes, we usually recommend that Emsculpt treatments are not done over any metallic implants in the area of treatment, but as long as there is no metal in the area of treatment, I think especially in the abdominal area if you have hip replacement that is outside the field of contact you should be fine. It is also important to know what sort of implant, a titanium implant will not react with the electromagnetic pulse from emsculpt, but it is really important to consult your doctor.

Thank you for your question. You can still have an Emsculpt treatment even after a hip replacement. It’s best to consult your provider. Please make sure you get a in person consultation from a board-certified dermatologist.
