50 year old heathly male in very good shape. Duration of treatments and frequency?

Question

50 year old heathly male in very good shape. Can you do 1hr vs 30 Minute Treatment for better results being that I am in better shape than most? Also, depending on goals, when would 8-12 Treatments be advised for enhanced results?

Yolanda Marcos, MD · Answer

Hi. The normal protocol for Emsculpt NEO is 30 minute sessions, every 2-3 todays, over the course of two weeks. Normally we start patients on a lower setting between 25-50% depending on how well they can tolerate the treatment and move them up on the next session as they get stronger. Since you're in better shape you would probably be able to start on a higher percentage and finish closer to 100%.
The number of treatments needed really depends on your goals. Throughout the treatment process, your healthcare provider will regularly assess your progress and make any necessary adjustments to the treatment plan to ensure that you are on track to achieve your desired outcomes safely and effectively. You could finish the initial 6 treatments and move to a maintenance plan with treatments more spread out (one a month), or do another round of 6 treatments like the initial 6.

The EmSculpt is a series of four treatments. The protocol consists of two treatments per week, over two weeks. Each session is 30 minutes. The treatments are minimally invasive, painless and with no downtime. Each session is the equivalent of doing 20,000 crunches and you see and feel results immediately.

For one area, I would not exceed 30 minutes to avoid muscle fatigue. You can do multiple areas in one day if you wish. I would not go over 2 hours total time, however. I would recommend doing the first 4 treatments weekly, then consider doing one a month for 2-4 sessions to help continue the process and get your maximum benefit. After that, you might want to go to maintenance with one treatment every 3 months.

I suggest you have a few consultations with providers who offer the service. You can then go over a recommended treatment plan.
There are also settings to be taken into consideration not just the length of treatment.
Recognize that the results are temporary just like exercise.
Best,
