I am really confused by the timing of these treatments. Some offices do one treatment once a week. Some offices do two-three treatments in a week. Surely different timing/frequency of treatments means different results, including how it looks 2-6months out.
Answer: Emsculpt treatment protocol The studies performed by BLT, the manufacturer of Emsculpt, for FDA clearance, are all based on 4 treatments, performed over an approximately 2 week period. I have seen great results after 4 treatments. However, in my experience, I have found that the best results are seen after 6 treatments, all performed within 3 weeks, two times per week, no more frequently than every 48 hours.

Answer: Emsculpt frequency Thank you for your question. It is recommended to do 4 Emsculpt treatments spaced 2-3 days apart for 2 weeks for best results. Each 30 minute treatment is equivalent to doing 20,000 sit-ups or squats. It is also recommended to come back for maintenance treatments in 6-8 months. It is best to consult with a Medical Esthetician at a Board Certified Plastic Surgeons office.

Answer: Timing of EMSculpt There is a lot of variety out there in timing, but the studies that were done on EMSculpt show that 4 treatments over two weeks seemed to maximize the effectiveness of the treatments. That doesn't mean that more treatments over time won't help, they will. And fewer treatments won't be as effective. However, I think that the body needs to heal and build the muscle and that can take months. My personal recommendation is 4-6 treatments, then wait at least 2 months or more before considering any additional treatments. My own personal results started to diminish after about 6 months so we recommend quarterly maintenance treatments. I hope that helps.Andrew Campbell, M.D.Quintessa

Answer: EMSculpt frequency EMSculpt recommendations are as follows: 4 treatments spaced out over a 2 week span. Repeat treatments are typically delayed 6 months in order to truly evaluate the effects of the first series. That being said, there should not necessarily be any harm from an alteration in the prescribed frequency. The more treatments in a given period, the more difficult it becomes to discern the actual yield per course.As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).Donovan Rosas MD Board Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery Member: American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, American Society of Plastic Surgeons RealSelf Verified Member RealSelf Top 100 RealSelf Hall of Fame

Answer: It depends... It depends on desired results but there is such a thing as too much! In our practice we recommend two treatments a week for two consecutive weeks. Depending on the patient, they may need more treatments to achieve desired results. Once results are achieved patients can come back once a month for maintenance.
