Emsculpt - Is there a contraindication to treating areas with tattoos?

Fearless8630May 7, 2022
Considering that this is electromagnetic radiation, is there a contraindication to treating areas with tattoos the same way MRIs are not allowed on such body parts?

You can use it as early as 4 weeks, but I prefer 6 weeks so that the radiofrequency component is not wasting effort or swelling, but just residual fat.

I would first use liposuction to remove the excess fat. Then you can use the EMScuplt for muscle tightening and more fat reduction. You may need two complete sessions, 8, for best results.

This hernia is internal and not affected by treatment with EMSculpt. You should be able to do the treatments if you can lay flat with your hernia.
