Why is anticoagulation therapy a contraindication to Emsculpt? Considering the procedure but currently on a blood thinner.

Thank you for your question! There is not a contraindication for blood thinners and Emsculpt. You will want to discuss with your treatment provider any heath conditions and medications you are taking, but there is no reason you can not continue your anti-coagulant therapy and enjoy all the benefits of Emsculpt!

Hi Cam,You may continue taking your blood thinners and also enjoy the benefits of Emsculpt treatments.  There is not a contra-indication for Emsculpt with patients who are on anti-coagulant therapy.  Good luck and be well.  Dr. PEncino, CA

I am not aware of any contraindications to EMSculpt therapy related to blood thinners.EMSculpt is a magnetic muscle stimulator which induces muscle contraction. Thus a contraindication to EMSculpt is to a certain extent a contraindication to exercise itself.As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).Donovan Rosas MD
