Is it possible to have Emsculpt if I have a testosterone pellet?

I have tried everything to build muscle in my glutes, years and years of training with no success. I contemplated a BBL, but I’m really interested in building muscle. I’m on my 3rd T pellet in 18 months in combo with intense flute training. Can I have emsculpt while I still have a pellet in my glute?

Hi Snooper,Rome was not built in a day, nor will your ab and glute muscles build in day (or week) after EmSculpt.  It takes time for muscle mass to build and for fat cells to disappear following EmSculpt treatment.  Many patients find that they can feel that their muscles are more firm, some e...
