My backside is pretty flat, so my esthetician recommended I complete 8 Emsculpt sessions in a three week period. I can see some improvements in the first two weeks (six sessions). Are two more necessary right now? Or might it be better to use those for maintenance in a few months? Other posts I've read on here suggest diminishing returns after the initial four sessions.
Answer: Will 8 Emsculpt sessions for buttocks firming, rather than the recommended 4 sessions, yield significantly better results? Hi Badmama3,It's like they say about chicken soup, "It can't hurt!" The recommended Emsculpt protocol is based on the clinical studies where patients were treated twice a week for two weeks, a total of 4 30-minute sessions. In your case, if you are seeing nice results after 2-4 sessions, you may wish to wait 2 to 3 months before your next session, and spread the remaining sessions over 2 to 3 month periods. Good luck and be well.Dr. PEncino, CA

Answer: Number of Emsculpt treatment sessions Happy to hear that you've seen improvements after 2 weeks of Emsculpt treatments! Though 4 sessions is the minimum required number of treatments, some patients do need an extra 1-2 sessions to see more of a result initially. However, you'll continue to see improvements over the next 2 months. If I were you, I'd space out the last 2 treatments and use them for maintenance. Goretti H. Taghva MD FACS

Answer: 8 EMSculpt sessions? The studies that were done on EMSculpt for their clinical trials did not show any significant improvement when comparing 8 treatments to 4 treatments. They both worked about the same. My personal opinion is that patients need to "heal" after the treatments and that's why doing more right away may not help much more than the standard 4 treatments. I believe that patients should do the 4 treatments, then wait at least 2 months, maybe 3-4 months, then repeat the 4 treatments again. The treatments create the massive amount of hypercontractions, but the muscle then needs to heal, build and enlarge. That can take months. Then hit it again with more treatments for more improvement. I don't know of any studies to prove this, but it makes sense to me.Andrew Campbell, M.D.Quintessa

Answer: EMSculpt Butt Lift Hello and thank you for your question. The number of EMSculpt treatments needed depends on your goals and how much lift you desire. Most people need a minimum of 4 treatments, however, there will be some that need more depending on amount of sagging and lift desired. In our clinical practice we have found that some patients respond better after 6-8 treatments. For those with a lack of buttock volume we combine it with our Sculptra butt lift to improve the volume. It's important that you are under the care of an experienced physician provider who can guide you and make adjustments to your treatment plan as necessary. Best wishes.

Answer: Is 8 EMSculpt Treatments Better Than 4? The real answer. The real answer to your question in fairly simple. With EMSculpt, the more treatments you do over time, the better, and longer-lasting your results will be. Similar to working out at the gym, consistency is key! The nice thing about EMSculpt is that one 30 minute session is equivalent to 20,000 sit-ups. That of course is impossible to achieve at the gym or with an abdominal toning belt. We suggest a minimum of 4 treatments to see results, but 6-8 is in the sweet spot as far as getting the best results. It definitely will make a difference, but we never push our patients to buy a package of more than 4 because many people see great results with just that. We always suggest finding a provider that offers packages so you can remain consistent over a longer period of time without killing your wallet. I hope this helps :)
