Wondering if any of you doctors have tried Emsculpt off label for biceps, triceps, or shoulders since the results for abs and butt are so great? Or does the present applicator not allow for it? Is the company testing/working to develop protocols for other body parts?
Answer: Emsculpt for arms and shoulders (off label)? HI Jaime,Great question, while I was getting my first Emsculpt treatment we discussed the treatment areas of the the body other than the FDA approved treatment of the abdomen and the buttocks. The current hardware is able to be applied to other areas and the company (BLT) may be working on other applicators for other muscle groups. The only area that will likely not be treated are the pectoral muscles as the heart muscle is under it. The Emsculpt technology is unique and exciting. Good luck and be well.Dr. P

Answer: EmSculpt Hello,Thank you for your question. At this time, EmSculpt can not treat the arms and shoulders. Perhaps in the future new hand-pieces will be developed. Good luck!

Answer: EmSculpt for deltoids, biceps, triceps Thank you for your question. EmSculpt can be used off-label. You really want to go to a practice with a thorough knowledge of the anatomy of the areas you want to build. We have used it in the arms, thighs, shoulders, calves, and lower back. The only areas you should avoid are the chest and upper back regions as you may stimulate the heart. I am confident more formal protocols will be developed for these off-label areas in the future.

Answer: Emsculpt will likely be utilized off-label eventually to treat other areas than the abdomen and buttocks. Initial FDA approval of Emsculpt is for the abdomen and buttocks. Emsculpt will likely be utilized off-label eventually to treat other areas than the abdomen and buttocks. BTL, the company that developed the Emsculpt device is working on creating applicators to treat other areas of the body. Stay tuned.

Answer: Trusculpt Flex When trying to target specific muscle groups, high current electrical muscle stimulation is superior to an electromagnetic field. The Trusculpt Flex uses 30 mAmp of current (vs commercial EMS devices that use less than 10mAmp) which can cause the same supramaximal contraction as the Emsculpt but the pads cover twice the area per site treated and the types of contractions can be bidirectional as well as twisting that helps develop muscle in a way closer to how a good workout regimen will incorporate multiple types of contractions to work different sides of the same muscle. The Flex can also treat more areas at once, ie Biceps, Triceps, infraspinatus and supraspinatus (rotator cuff) or gluteus medius, Maximus, minimus as well as obliques, transversus abdominis and rectus abdominis.
