I recently lost 80lbs (went from 220 to 140) and was told by my personal trainer at the gym that I need to build muscle to help with my excess skin. Can Emsculpt help me with this? I do not want to get a tummy tuck.
Answer: Emsculpt does not treat loose skin of the abdomen or buttocks. Emsculpt does not treat loose skin of the abdomen or buttocks. Emsculpt treatments by BTL utilize HIFEM or high intensity focused electromagnetic energy to cause supramaximal muscle contractions of the abdomen and buttocks resulting in muscle development and fat reduction. Additionally, an 11% improvement was seen in initial studies for correcting diastasis recti or muscle separation of the abdominal muscles. Skin laxity is not directly improved, however, one may feel this is improved in the buttock area as the muscle mass is increased. Patients with minimal abdominal skin laxity of the abdomen may benefit from Exilis Ultra radiofrequency/ultrasound treatments from BTL. Patients with significant diastasis and skin laxity will benefit from an abdominoplasty. I offer both of these services in my Newport Beach office.

Answer: EmSculpt Hello,Thank you for your question. EmSculpt can absolutely build muscle in the abdomen area. It is not designed to help with excess skin, but the tightening may help provide some improvement. Good luck!

Answer: Emsculpt and loosened skin after weight loss For this amount of weight loss (80lbs), most likely Emsculpt may not help adequately with your excess skin. In most cases a surgical solution would be the best. If you are hesitant about surgery, seek a consultation to get a true opinion. If more than one surgeon tells you the same thing, then you know that you probably only have one option, which is surgery.

Answer: EmSculpt for skin tightening Thank you for your question. EmSculpt will help you build muscle, but I would not rely on this as your primary goal for skin tightening. You may see some mild improvements, but with massive weight loss, I don't think this will be sufficient to make you happy. There are other non-surgical or non-incisional procedures that may also help, but you may find that the tummy tuck procedure would give you the best results. To evaluate your options carefully, I would visit a board certified plastic surgeon who can help discuss both surgical and non-surgical approaches to help you with your goals.
