Hi,Good news- You do not need to worry about shaving prior to an Emsculpt treatment. You could even keep your clothes on if you wanted to!

Bon Jour CLS,Fortunately the electromagnetic waves of Emsculpt have no difficulty penetrating through a hairy abdomen.  No need to shave or remove hair for Emsculpt, but a little "man-scaping" may make the beach a more beautiful place.  Good luck and be well.Dr. P

Thanks for the question, I have seen that the adapter can slide off of very hairy men, that being said we just make the belt tighter so they don't have to go and shave. I think you will be fine without shaving

Since EMSculpt uses magnetism shaving is not necessary.  In fact thin clothes can even stay on as long as they have no metal in them.  Very easy procedure.

Thanks for your question!There is no need to shave prior to EMSCULPT treatments, however loose fitting clothing without metal is required (depending on your provider they may request bare skin). Best of luck!

Hi thank you for your question. You do no need to shave before your Emsculpt treatment on the abdomen.  It is helpful to make sure that you are well hydrated, so drink a lot of water when going for EmSculpt treatments!

Richard E. Moore, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. No, you do not need to shave before an Emsculpt treatment. In fact, in most cases we treat patients directly over their clothing as long as it is not bulky and contains no metal.I hope this was helpful - Dr. Moore.
