How long should I wait to have Emsculpt after having Venus Viva on my abdomen?

Question

I am currently doing Venus viva for stretch mark on my tummy every 3 weeks for 8 sessions. I will be doing emsculpt next week on tummy. It is just 1 week right after my Venus Viva. I am concerned if it will hurt my skin with just 1 week interval. My doctor did no problem. I need a reassurance.

Hi again Offcolor,It is perfectly safe to have Emsculpt treatment one week after Venus Viva treatments without concern for any harm to your skin.  Venus Viva uses radiofrequency energy through microneedles to heat the skin while Emsculpt uses electromagnetic waves to cause supra-maximal contraction of the deep muscles.  You should have incredible results what with your extra Emsculpt treatments, your Pilate workouts, and your Venus Viva (from your previous realself questions).  I am going to revise my answer to one of your previous questions given all that you are doing....between the s and xs dress that you are ordering online for your upcoming occaision, I would lean (pun intended) with the xs.Good luck and be well.Dr. P

Thank you for your question. The Emsculpt should not affect your laser treatment as it only treats the muscle and fat. For more information please make sure you get a in person consultation from a board-certified dermatologist.

Thank you for your question. Emsculpt should have no effect on your skin as it specifically targets the motor neuron that causes muscle contractions. There is no heat generation or stimulation of the nerves that cause sensation. There should be no contraindication with go forward with the Emsculpt from having done the Venus Viva.I hope this was helpful - Dr. Moore.

Thank you for your question. EmSculpt laser has affinity for muscle tissues only, therefore it can safely be performed before or after any other laser. In our practice we combine EMSCULPT treatments with Sculpsure, CoolSculpting and TempSure.  EMSCULPT virtually has ZERO side effects. It doesn't affect the skin, just muscle.  Hope this helps you feel better about your doctor's suggestion.  Best, Dr. Avaliani
