I’m wondering if I am able to have Emsculpt done on my thighs? I had knee surgery done about 8 months ago and my legs are very weak. This would be amazing to help me strengthen my leg before returning back to playing sports. I just had Emsculpt done on my stomach and my core went from weak to strong in just a week. The doctor that preformed my Emsculpt doesn’t have a option for thighs.
Answer: Are there any doctors doing Emsculpt on thighs? Hi Jojo,Yes there are some doctors who are treating the thighs with Emsculpt. Emsculpt of the thighs is an "off-label" use, yet providers have found it to be safe as long as there are no metal implants in the area. We have also found that many of our patients state that during their buttock Emsculpt treatments they feel some quadraceps contraction and strengthening. Good luck and be well.Dr. PerskyEncino, CA

Answer: EmSculpt for thighs and arms Thank you for your question. I do use EmSculpt for the thighs as well as other body parts such as the arms. It’s a great way to strengthen muscle groups. The only place that I am unable to use EmSculpt is over the chest or upper back, as I do not want to stimulate the heart. When I use EmSculpt post injury such as fracture or joint injury, I need to ensure that the bone or joint is well healed so we are not causing and additional injury.

Answer: Emsculpt on the thighs Hello, Emsculpt is FDA approved only for the abdomen and buttocks. This means that both safety and efficacy have not been taken into consideration for any other areas. I recommend being cautious when treating off label areas. Good luck.

Answer: EMSculpt for thighs Yes, you can use EMSculpt for thighs. The treatment is the same as the buttocks. EMSculpt is actually FDA approved for the treatment of thighs but the company has not added the protocol to the machine yet. I do know of centers that are treating thighs, so it can be done and it should give you the result you are looking for.Andrew Campbell, M.D.Quintessa

Answer: EMSculpt on Thighs EMSculpt has been FDA approved for the abdomen and buttocks. Using it on the thighs is an off-label treatment and safety/efficacy have not been evaluated. If you have metal implants in your knees then the treatment would be contraindicated. Hope this helps.
