No results after 5 sessions of Emsculpt - is that possible?

Question

I got 5 sessions on my abs and 4 on my butt. i see no results months later. And no greater strength. The machine wasn’t branded “emsculpt” but the girl I saw said it was an emsculpt machine. I also had no soreness after sessions, but was very hungry afterwards and did have to work up to higher settings. Is this possible? No have no results at all? I was so hopeful - if not for looks, for strength.

Thank you for your question. I would make a follow up appointment with the clinic you did your emsculpt at. They should take photos to compare from when you had your very first treatment. From there you can compare your results.

The EMSculpt machines have the name and logo quite visible. You may have used a weaker machine.  Also, those who are over their ideal weight, may need up to 8 treatments to really get good results.  You do not need to get up to 100% for good results, but do want to get at least 40-50% level.  You should not be sore after treatment.

The industry is full of people willing to take your money. It’s also full of desperate people willing to pay for the dream of looking better. The majority of patients seeking non-surgical body contouring treatments see no or virtually no difference.
The majority of patients who drive, these treatments are in fact, not good candidates at all, because they have other variables that will never allow them to see good results. Some of the variables that keep people from being good candidates, include having any degree of skin, laxity, and any significant amount of subcutaneous fat. Skin laxity and subcutaneous fat hides your muscle and have a muscle definition will never be seen if it’s covered by flab.
You didn’t include pictures so we can’t make an assessment.
You are not alone.
Personally, I don’t offer these treatments because I’m not interested in taking peoples money for treatments that do not consistently deliver high Patient satisfaction.
Best,
