Emsculpt Protocol 1 vs Protocol 2?

Hello and thanks for your question. Each protocol is used for a different concern- we would use protocol 1 for the abdomen as it destroys fat cells more effectively than protocol 2. For most of our patients protocol 2 suits as it helps strengthen, lift and develop the buttock muscles. Always go to a qualified and experienced practitioner, best wishes 

Hello and Thank you for your question.
Both protocols may be used for the glute area. We have not experienced any fat loss with protocols 1 when it comes to the glute area. Although, you may choose to just use protocol 2 for muscle gain without RF.

At our office, I prefer to use TruSculpt FLEX which is the only device on the market that can treat up to eight separate areas simultaneously. Sixteen colored applicators are placed in a pre-planned distribution (in one problem area, in multiple areas, or in eight separate areas) based on your individual needs and goals. Unlike the Emsculpt device, with TruSculpt FLEX, I am able to treat the front and back of the body simultaneously. Once applied to the desired treatment areas, TruSculpt FLEX delivers direct electrical muscle stimulation, causing the targeted muscles to contract. 100% of the energy delivered is absorbed by the targeted muscles (compared to 30-40% with Emsculpt), ensuring the most significant outcomes. It should be combined with RF treatments to better/stimulate it to produce collagen such as venus legacy / exilis ultra / thermage / inmode forma. We often will add bellafill or renuva to certain areas to improve indentations or the buttock roll to get more definition and softening or to improve overall size and shape. Smooth novathreads do very well to improve laxity of the buttock as well non surgically. I suggest seeing an expert for a formal consultation. Best, Dr. Emer.
