I would like to know if emscuplt is effective for young men, to build up their shoulders and chest muscles.
Answer: Can Emsculpt be used for pectoral muscles? (Photo) May 28, 2019 Hello naomichambers,The strong electromagnetic waves of EmSculpt would be very dangerous directly over the heart muscle, one of the muscles of our body that we certainly do not wish stimulate with supra-maximal contractions. Unfortunately, the pectoral and other chest muscles must be built the old fashioned way...with physically toiling. Good luck and be well.Dr. P

Answer: EMSculpt for shoulders and pecs EMSculpt uses an electromagnetic field to cause hypercontractions of striated muscle. As such, we don't want to place it anywhere near the heart (the heart is made of cardiac muscle, not striated muscle, but we don't want to cause a problem with the heart, that would be very bad...) So, unfortunately, the pecs are contraindicated. The shoulder could theoretically be treated. I'd treat the biceps and triceps knowing that the shoulders will also be treated at the same time.Andrew Campbell, M.D.Quintessa

Answer: EMSculpt Emsculpt or any other electromagnetic stimulation device should not be directly used over the cardiac region secondary to possible induced conduction abnormalities. Please contact a qualified provider or a board-certified physician with extensive experience in these procedures.

Answer: Emsculpt for chest and shoulders From the single photo submitted, it appears that you are still developing muscle in the areas you are concerned about. So my answer will cover several phases: 1) Emsculpt is not indicated to be used over the chest area. It may have a negative affect on cardiac muscle, such as interfering with normal rhythm or even death. So, until further research is done for use in this area, stick to a regimented upper body workout at the gym. 2) The new paddles which are approved for extremities, can certainly augment your upper arm workout. They can also be used on the legs. 3) You would benefit from counseling from a certified personal trainer who can guide you in diet and supplementation use, along with a “building” routine in your workouts.
