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

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!
