Emsculpt perform by the specialist or staff?

In my practice, Emsculpt is performed by our BTL trained Laser technicians. As long as the technician or nurse has been trained by BTL, they are qualified to perform the Emsculpt treatment. If the patient is uncomfortable or wants my opinion on the treatment, I always offer them a complimentary consultation with me so we can discuss the treatment more in depth and answer any additional questions they might have.

Hello Squinones1,
I examine and evaluate all of our patients prior to their EmSculpt treatment.  I apply the EmSculpt paddles to the proper area for maximum muscle contractions and results at the first treatment.  After the first treatment, position of the paddles is noted and staff is able to apply the paddles at subsequent EmSculpt treatment sessions.  Good luck and be well.

Hi There, Thank you for this fantastic question. Anyone who goes through the EmSculpt training can provide the treatment. The training assures that the staff understands what the machine is doing and how they can treat people in the safest and most effective way! 

EMSculpt can be performed by anyone who has been trained to operate the machine (under the auspices of a physician). The  individual administering treatments at a given practice may vary.That being said, you should be evaluated by a physician to determine whether you are in fact a candidate for treatment both from the perspective of safety and efficacy.As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).Donovan Rosas MD

These treatments are highly technical. Please contact a qualified provider or a board-certified physician with extensive experience in these procedures.

The answer to your question largely depends on the rules and regulations governing your state, but in most cases, a supervising physician, PA, or nurse practitioner should perform an evaluation to medically clear you to have the procedure done.  After that, the Emsculpt procedure itself is simple to administer by other properly trained clinic staff.

While Emsculpt is generally performed by a nurse, the preliminary evaluation during consultation should be done by a physician who can confirm on examination there is no hernia or other contraindication to treatment.I hope this answer was helpful. Best wishes.

Hi,The Emsculpt is performed by staff who have been trained by BTL the manufacturer, and a physician is around for supervision.  In our office, it is performed by a PA or RN.Warmly,Dr. Liu

Emsculpt can be performed by a board certified nurse, physician assistant, nurse practitioner, physician, or any member of the staff that has been trained on how to use the device.  To find out if you are a candidate for the treatment it is important to have a consultation.  Best of luck!

Thanks for your question! This procedure can be performed by staff and/or the specialist - much of the adjusting during the procedure depends on your feedback of where you feel activation and/or discomfort! It's very easy to use and very easy to turn up or dial down the intensity.Best of luck!
