Does Emsculpt reduce cellulite or is there a better approach for this?

Emsculpt is not specifically designed for cellulite but can build muscle and reduce fat in certain areas if desired. Treatments such as Morpheus are better suited for stretch marks or cellulite.

Hi il384,Emsculpt will build muscle and reduce fat.  It does not treat cellulite. With increased muscle mass some of the loose skin slack may be improved after Emsculpt.  We treat our patients who have the lax abdominal skin that you have described with a combination of Venus Freeze (radiofrquency heat that tightens skin) and Emsculpt (to build the muscle.)  Each patient should be examined and a treatment plan tailored to their specific needs.  Good luck and be well.Dr. PEncino, CA

EMSculpt will not reduce cellulite directly, however, it can reduce the fat under the skin. It sounds like you have a skin quality issue, not truly cellulite. You can consider skin tightening lasers like Halo. It works surprisingly well on the skin of the body.Andrew Campbell, M.D.Quintessa

This is difficult to answer without an in-person examination or at least some pictures. In general, EMSculpt is a great treatment to build abdominal muscle tone and reduce small areas of abdominal fat. It will not have an effect on loose skin or cellulite. There are non-surgical options for loose abdominal skin and cellulite. Make sure you see an experienced physician provider for an in-person consultation to determine which treatments would be best for you. Best wishes.

Hi there,
Thank you for your question. Without seeing your concern it is hard to know for sure if you're an Emsculpt candidate or not. Emsculpt is a muscle defining and fat reduction treatment. One 30 minute Emsculpt treatment is equivalent to 30,000 crunches! Sometimes a more defined/muscular abdomen can smooth out the appearance of loose skin or cellulite, but Emsculpt will not specifically target those concerns. There are other options, such as Profound Radio Frequency, which will better address skin tightening and cellulite. I suggest consulting in person with your local service provider. They will take a look at your concerns and determine which treatment will be the best option for you. Good luck!

Thanks for your question. No, unfortunately, I would not expect EMSculpt treatment to help much with cellulite dimpling changes of the skin. It is effective at building muscle mass & strength and reducing fat, but not necessarily improving skin quality. Treatments like Cellfina are more targeted at that problem. Best wishes
