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

Question

I'm considering emsculpt treatment in my abdomen and butt. I'm naturally quite tiny (5'2" and 90 lbs) but am hoping to get more toned. From what I've read, it's recommended to get 4 to 6 sessions of Emsculpt per body area. Is this amount of treatment necessary regardless of your starting body weight and body fat percentage? I was wondering if I could get away with less treatments due to already being quite thin. Would it be easier for the muscle to show if that's the case? Thank you!

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.

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

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.
