Thank you for your question! Coolsculpting targets the subcutaneous layer of fat cells (the pinchable layer of fat). It is amazing for targeting stubborn pockets of fat! It uses a freezing technology to freeze the target area to -11 degrees c, for a specific amount of time. The fat is then disposed of through your bodies lymphatic system over a period of 3-4 months. Emsculpt is the only machine on the market that can build muscle and shred fat at the same time. It is the equivalent of doing 20,000 squats or sit ups in 30 minutes. This is an amazing treatment to do if you are looking to tone and build your muscles or smooth out the area post coolsculpting!
Hello cg7734:CoolSculpting eliminates fat cells, permanently changing the contours of the body by reducing pockets of fat on many different areas of the body, almost anywhere on the body or neck.EmSculpt can bulk up muscles temporarily on the abdomen and buttock area. This can define your abdominal muscles if you are starting with a thin layer of fat over them, and enlarge the buttock muscles. They will lose their bulk over time and you will need to repeat the treatment.So they are not really competing treatments. They achieve different goals. I hope this helps a bit to answer your question. Sheryl Clark MD FAAD
