Does Emsculpt help with diastasis?

Question

I’m 30 years old with 4 previous pregnancies and diastis above my bellybutton. I really don’t want a tummy tuck because the skin isn’t what bothers me it’s just the bulge I have from my muscles separating. 5’2” 130 lbs.

Hi there,Emsculpt is worth a go, and I find that Diastasis recti patients sometimes require more than 4 sessions in a block of weekly treatments, and I usually advise them to see a physiotherapist who will also help to maintain and strengthen the core muscles cautiously, as a maintenance program. The improvement is about 20% but this also does vary among individuals. I hope this helps.

EMSculpt works very well for women with diastasis after pregnancy. It continues to work up to 12 weeks after your last treatment.

Thank you for your question. Yes, Emsculpt helps with Diastasis Recti. Emsculpt treatments target the major muscles of the abdominal wall with powerful contractions , including the rectus abdominal muscles.

This is a great question!! Emsculpt can absolutely help improve the abdominal muscles that have been separated due to pregnancies resulting in a Diastasis.  There have been studies done that have proven Emsculpts benefits to those women suffering from it.  With Emsculpts non-invasive technology, it forces supramaximal contractions to all abdominal muscles that lead to muscle remodeling and growth.  This is an absolutely amazing treatment for your condition, especially if you are not ready for a surgical procedure.  As always, you would need to be evaluated by a professional to ensure you have no contraindications to receiving Emsculpt (a hernia needs to be ruled out).  It is definitely something that is worth looking into! Good Luck!

Thank you for your question. Emsculpt Neo studies demonstrate up to 19% reduction in rectus diastasis 3 months after completing treatment. Would recommend use of a single paddle in the midline for best results with diastasis.

EMSculpt can absolutely help your diastasis. It is a great tool to contract your muscles and strengthen them. After pregnancy it is often difficult to train your core muscles, so EMSculpt is a great option to give you a kick start.

Matthew Stanizzi, MD · Answer

EmSculpt has been shown to reduce a diastasis. It may improve it by 15-20%. It will improve your core strength and allow you to have a more productive core exercise program as well. This in turn will also help improve the diastasis over time.
