Does the amount of Emsculpt sessions needed depend on current body fat percentage? (photos)

Thank you for your question! In order to get the maximum benefit the Emsculpt machine has to offer we do recommend following the 4-6 treatment plan. The number of treatments is based on clinical trials performed by BTL and less treatments could mean poor results. This number of treatments will ensure you get the best results even if you are already small and are just looking to do some toning. You will also need to go back to your provider for regular maintenance.

Thank you for your question! We recommend 4-6 treatments based on clinical studies that have been performed by the company that makes the equipment. Despite being thin you should complete the 4 sessions to get the best possible results. This is also a treatment that should be maintained so keep your results, just as you would maintain muscle by going to the gym.

these are treatments tha t need to be done FOREVER dont let the companies fool you. after a series of treatments you should maintain the results every 2-4 weeks with another treatment. for the buttock you should add sculptra and for the stomach trusculptID.  I like FLEX amoung all the devices.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Well, a lot depends on what you envision as getting more “toned”?  If you’re expecting to get any grossly visible augmentation, enhancement, and/or definition to your buttock muscle then I would advise you to not waste your hard earned money. If you are indeed hoping for these outcomes and dedicated rigorous exercise has failed then you may want to consider buttock implants for the most reliable, relatively safe, and permanent surgical option.  Glad to be of help.

no the number of Emsculpt sessions is always at least 4, true that some patients with above normal body fat percentages will benefit and get better results with more sessions, but it is always at least 4

Thank you for your questions. Unfortunately, I could not see the pictures posted due to poor image visibility. The number of Emsculpt treatments recommended is based on the clinical studies performed by BTL. I would recommend sticking to the 4 treatments per area as these treatments are generally sold in packages and less treatments may result in poor results. We actually have an 8 treatment package at our center to encourage patients to treat more than one area.

Adding more treatments gives improved results up to appointment with this treatment. it becomes a point of diminishing returns.
Just like exercise is a temporary treatment that requires ongoing maintenance.
The interval of how often you have the treatments is probably more important than how many treatments you get.
It is simply an intense form of exercise that doesn’t require the effort that exercise does.
Just like a professional athlete eventually will hit a wall and it’s not a matter of training more hours per day.
I suggest having a few sessions to see what it does. If you like the results keep adding more as long as you can afford it.
Remember it’s a temporary treatment.
Best,

Hello and thanks for your question. Yes you would be a good candidate for EMsculpt however I would still recommend the 4 sessions to get the best results. We have 3 EMSculpt devices in clinic and get amazing results alone and combined with other body sculpting technology. Best wishes
