Can I use EmSlim (Emsculpt) HIFEM while pregnant?

Question

Can I use EmSlim (Emsculpt) HIFEM On my arms and thighs while pregnant. Obviously I understand not on abs. I can lower the strength to about 50% if need be.

Pamela Gallagher, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question! There is no research done to prove safe, so my recommendation would be no.

Danielle Shanley, MD · Answer

Hi there, we do not recommend using Emsculpt on any body part while pregnant because there aren't any studies that show if it is safe.

William Lao, MD · Answer

Though there is no report or study specifically targeting pregnant population on Emsculpt, I would be extremely cautious because if any adverse effect happens it is not worth it.

Yolanda Marcos, MD · Answer

No, Emsculpt is not recommended for use during pregnancy. The safety of Emsculpt during pregnancy has not been adequately studied, and it is generally advised to avoid undergoing any non-essential cosmetic treatments during pregnancy.
During pregnancy, your body undergoes significant physiological changes to support the growth and development of the baby. Introducing external interventions like Emsculpt, which uses high-intensity electromagnetic energy to induce muscle contractions, may not be safe for both the mother and the developing baby.

Connie Hiers, MD, FACS · Answer

Because of your hormones, you will not get the best results and it is recommended not to have this treatment while pregnant or breast feeding. It may have little or no effect on your fat, and it will not prevent your muscles stretching apart as you grow. Save your money and do it later.
