How many body parts in an appointment can you treat with Emsculpt?

Question

I want to have my glutes, abs, quadriceps, hamstrings, biceps & calves treated? How far apart would I need to space body parts? Is there a limit? I know it's 30 min per part. Could I do all in an appointment? Or three one day three the next? Is it safe to do that many?

Thank you for your question. At our practice we treat 2- 3 areas in a session. We do recommend splitting up the sessions if its more than 3 areas. They may be done within the same week if desired.

Thank you for your question.  We have the ability to treat multiple body regions in the same day.  You are correct that each area requires about a 30 minute treatment.  You also benefit from treating the same body area twice a week for two weeks for a total of four sessions, but you can easily add more treatment sessions to enhance your results.

We have treated all the areas you have inquired about in the same day and even used two devices at the same time to cut down on the overall treatment time.  I would seek a practice with experience in treatment multiple areas in the same visit for a consultation.

Thank you for your question. You can stack multiple body parts during an Emsculpt appointment. At our practice 2-3 is not uncommon during a single appointment. With the Emsculpt Neo, which uses RF in addition to HIFEM, the presence of RF (which produces heat) limits how many appointments you can stack as the manufacturer recommends no more than about 90 minutes of treatments involving RF in a single day. This means if you are also doing Emtone for cellulite the same day which also uses RF, that also counts toward the 90 minute total treatment time.

i wouldnt suggest doing more treating three body parts per day, so i think the 2nd option is a better one for you

Richard E. Moore, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. I would recommend doing 3-4 areas in one appointment. You can treat the remaining areas the next day if you desire. Each treatment area should receive a total of 4 treatments spread 2 to 3 days apart. What you are describing is actually 7 areas as the biceps and triceps are separate areas. It is safe to have all of these areas treated over a short span.

I hope this was helpful - Dr. Moore.

I cannot speak for EMsculpt but we use Cooltone from Allergan.  Its a slightly different technology (it uses Magnetic Muscle Stimulation) but with the same common purpose of transiently generating hypertrophy of muscle.  Sessions can be stacked into a single session (we commonly do abs, gluts and thighs), but you also have to be careful and pace yourself.  The sessions themselves do not take that long.
