Emsculpt Protocol 1 vs Protocol 2?

Jess20299
Is there really a difference between the settings/protocol used on the abs vs glutes? I know protocol 2 is supposed to conserve all the fat and only burn muscle but does it make a big difference? I think my doctor has been using protocol 1 on my glutes instead of protocol 2 and I'm wondering if it will make my butt flatter
