Is more than 4 Emsculpt sessions needed? What power level should be used?

Hi DML,
Emsculpt was studied treating patients with 4 30-minute sessions over a two week period.  There was 16-19% muscle mass increase and 19% fat reduction.  What has not been studied is the optimal maintenance regimen.  We are seeing results being maintained one year out, these patients have had a fifth treatment session at about 6 weeks after completion of their series.  The treatment should feel intense but not painful.  Most of our patients are able to get up to 100% power within the first 10 to 15 minutes of their first session.  I believe that with continued exercise and a healthy diet/life style patients should be able to maintain their results. As with investing in speculatively in stocks or options, you never want to invest more that you can comfortably afford to lose.  If you are worried about the cost, 24 Hour Fitness may be better for you, though you will be hard pressed to match the 20,000 supra-maximal muscle contractions per 30 minutes.  Good luck and be well.

Thank you for your question! It is correct that 4 treatments of Emsculpt is the bare minimum. You will need to go to your nearest provider to get a proper assessment. This will determine approximately how many treatments you will need! Typically, 6 - 8 treatments is normal for the average person. It is recommended to use the highest level you can tolerate to get the best results. Thanks again!

Hi There,
Thank you for your question about EmSculpt. Standard protocol recommends 4-8 sessions for your original treatment. Many of our patients start with 4 and love their results. However it really does depend on your body and what your goals are. We encourage patients to treat at the highest level that they comfortably can for best results. You will need to consult with a local provider in person to determine what the best course of action will be. Best of luck! it is an incredible treatment!
