Great question!

You should perform all rounds of Coolsculpting first to "de-bulk' the area and then have Emsculpt treatments about one month after your last Coolsculpting round - by reducing the stubborn fat in the area first it will allow you to really work on muscle building and definition with Emsculpt.  This layered treatment approach will yield the best results for body contouring and muscle toning.

Good luck!

I am assuming you are talking about the abdominal area. There is no rule or correct order to do coolsculpting and emsculpting. My opinion would be to do Coolsculpting first and debulk the fat. Emsculpt can then be used to really sculpt your abs by burning even more fat and build muscle, giving you enhanced results you will love.

Technically you can do it either way. I would suggest doing EMSculpt after CoolSculpting since it takes about 2 months to see results from CoolSculpting. This way you can get the EMSculpting results of muscle tone after the fat is gone.

best to wait until 3 months after your CoolSculpting session before starting your Emsculpt treatment

EmSculpt works on the muscles while CoolSculpting targets fat. They can be done simultaneously as they are targeting different areas. There is a study looking at the benefits of combining CoolSculpting and CoolTone (MMS) and shows favorable results.
