Does Emsculpt build muscle and burn fat for the butt treatment or just build muscle?

Hi Nutripea,Good question.  Just this afternoon I asked my patient having her first buttlifting treatment with Emsculpt whether she wished to keep or lose the fat on her butt.  Emsculpt has two treatment protocol settings, one that burns fat and one that does not (both settings do build muscle.)  Prior to any Emsculpt treatment of the buttocks it is important to let your physician know what your wishes are, a thinner tush, or a Kardashian special.  Good luck and be well.Dr. P

Thank you for your excellent question regarding Emsculpt. Emsculpt offers two different protocols.  One that burns fat and builds muscle and a separate setting for muscle building only. Most people want the fat burning and muscle building for the abdomen but only muscle building for the gluteal region. That could vary depending on the patient.  Thus far, our patients have been very happy with their results of both treatment areas. 

Hello Nutripea,Emsculpt has two different treatment protocols, muscle building and fat burning or just muscle building. With the buttocks you can choose which is best  depending on your desired result. I recommend scheduling a consultation with a  physician near you to ensure this is the right treatment for you. 

Great question!  The treatment protocols for abdomen and buttocks are different. For the buttock treatment protocol, it builds muscle but does not burn fat. Whereas for the abdomen, it does both.   Emsculpt is specifically cleared for improvement of abdominal tone and strengthening and toning of the buttocks so it sounds like you would be an excellent candidate!  Good luck!

Hello,Thank you for your question. The reason why you may be getting conflicting answers is because you have the option to do both. You can treat with the fat burning option or without. It will absolutely help you tone up and build the muscle you are looking for even if you don't want to loose any fat. Please consult with a local physician to discuss all of your options. Good luck!

EMSculpt has two protocols. One is for the abs and one is for the buttocks. The protocol for the abs has long high frequency pulses that create a large amount of metabolites from the muscle being treated. These metabolites overwhelm the surrounding fat causing about a 20% fat loss in the area being treated. The buttock protocol does not have these high frequency pulses, thus you only get the increased muscle tone and mass, but you don't get the fat loss in the buttocks.Andrew Campbell, M.D.Quintessa Aesthetic Centers

Thanks for the question, we are just starting to embark on this new science so we are learning and we are all excited. As the highly focused electromagnetic energy goes through the skin the MRI studies show a slight reduction in the thickness in the fat but the main goal is supra max stimulation of the muscles and muscle growth. The ideal patients are lean as this will allow the muscle to grow and sculpt. We would love to have you come try the device in my NYC office, feel free to reach out!

great question. there are settings for different protocols on the machine depending on what you wish to achieve, there are setting that build more muscle than burn fat and vice versa. speak to your experienced provider so that they clearly understand your desires

Thank you for your questions, it looks like you’re in luck! Emsculpt is a non-invasive treatment that actually builds muscle without burning fat. The treatment tightens and tones the buttocks resulting in a firmer plumped rear! It is a great option for patients who want to build muscle without having fat. Please make sure you seek treatment from a board-certified dermatologist.  

EMSculpt has to protocols.  One for treatment with fat loss and one without fat loss.   Ttypically when treating the butt we used the protocol that spares fat.  Each patient is different and we do use the protocol to lose fat when indicated.  I would advise discussing this with your practitioner which will help choose the best way to proceed.
