Can you use Emsculpt if you have metal tooth implants or gold teeth?

Question

Thank you for your question! Yes it is safe! Although metal implants are considered a contraindication for Emsculpt, tooth implants are far enough away from the paddles to be safe to treat. If the metal implants were directly in the area being treated, it would be unsafe.

Hi Goobersmack in Austin,It is safe to have Emsculpt with metal tooth implants and/or gold teeth as long as they are greater than 7 centimeters from the treatment paddles.  Good luck and be well.Dr. PEncino, CA

Hi, thanks for your interesting question.  The general company line is that Emsculpt should not be performed when there are metal implants in the body.  The risk is that they will move and become displaced.  However, most physicians will exercise medical judgement regarding true risks and benefits of this scenario.  Emsculpt EM energy is emitted directly from the paddles and will only reach as far down as 7 cm under the skin.  So if you are getting an abdominal or gluteal treatment, the EM energy is far enough from your mouth and teeth that there would not be any issues.

Hi,Metal teeth implants are not a contraindication to Emsculpt since they are far away from the Emsculpt paddles.Warmly,Dr. Liu

Thanks for your question. Absolutely, that would be fine. The only thing we have to avoid is metal objects directly in the area being treated. Give it a try, you will love it! Best wishes
