Question

Thank you for your question! Sculpsure would be best if you are solely looking for fat reduction. Sculpsure is a laser that heats up and permanently destroys fat cells. Patients experience a 24% reduction in fat with each session. Patients need at least 2-3 sessions for best results. The destroyed fat cells are eliminated through the lymphatic system. The procedure is non-invasive and requires no downtime. Results are seen six weeks after your last session, with optimal results shown at 12 weeks. Emsculpt is a body shaping therapy that increases your muscle mass and reduces fat as well. It uses high intensity focused electromagnetic technology to induce muscle contraction. This procedure takes about 30 minutes and doesn't require downtime. Patients need to complete 4 sessions and usually target their abdomen or gluteal muscles. Results can be seen 2-4 weeks after the last session. To determine if you are a candidate for either procedure, be sure to see a board certified physician.

Hi hilife808!Thank you for your questions. SculpSure is a laser treatment for non-invasive lipolysis (about 24% of your fat cells with each treatment). Emsculpt is an energy-based nonsurgical device that uses high-intensity electromagnetic energy to simultaneously reduce fat deposits and improve muscle tone. I recommended scheduling an in person consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in your area to determine which is the best treatment for you.Best of luck!

SculpSure is a laser device that reduces fat by approximately 20% in a targeted area per treatment. Patients typically need 2 treatments every 4-6 weeks. Emsculpt uses electromagnetic energy to tone muscle and reduce unwanted fat. For either modality, patients do best when they are closest to their ideal body weight. I recommend you meet with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon for a consultation to discuss your best options.

Thank you for your question. SculpSure uses a laser to permanently destroy fat cells. Emsuclpt on other hand uses electromagnetic energy to remove excess fat and tone targeted muscle groups. It’s difficult to say without a photo which procedure will work best for you. Please make sure you get a in person consultation from a board-certified dermatologist.

Sculpsure uses laser to reduce fat.  EMsculpt stimulates muscles to give more definition in the abdomen as well as removing abdominal wall fat cells.  EMSculpt also does a nonsurgical butt lift by stimulating the muscles there.  EMsculpt is noninvasive and painless.  Thanks for your question and hope this helps.

Thanks for your excellent question.  We have had SculpSure for 3+ years.  We almost added EmSculpt in June.  It is just so new, weren't able to verify all of the claims made by EmSculpt.  I think the jury is still out, but we will know how well it's working in the next year.  We like the proven results from SculpSure.  I hope this helps.
