I want to go through the four Emsculpt sessions but I read online you can not while breastfeeding. So if there is no medications involved why can you not breastfeed?

Answer: EmSculpt while breastfeeding? Hello Intuitive7540:Thanks for your great question. EmSculpt actually is contraindicated while pregnant or breastfeeding. The concern with breastfeeding is that you might have a higher level of lactic acidosis in the blood temporarily after the treatment. Because of the number and strength of these supramaximal contractions, the level may be higher than it is with exercise, and the effect of this on the infant has not been studied. There is a method, however, of expressing milk that may be high in lactic acid after a treatment. So there should be a work-around. I hope this information is helpful to you!Sheryl Clark MD FAADDirector, Flagship EmSuite in NYC for EmSculpt and EmSella treatments and demonstrations of the devices to other physicians
