Can Emsculpt help with 'saddle bags'?

Question

EmSculpt on back of thigh treats what muscles? For glutes, are paddles meant to be higher or lower or buttocks?

Rita Rakus, MBBS · Answer

Hello and thank you for your question. From your question we can advise here but nothing would compare to a face to face consultation in clinic for an accurate plan of what would work best. The paddles are usually placed on the glute muscles to help lift and tighten the buttocks. Hope this helps, Best wishes

Hi thank you for your question. The muscles on the back of the thigh are commonly called the hamstrings with the major muscle being the biceps femoris. This is an "off label" area to treat. The placement of the paddles for the buttocks really depends on the desired results and your anatomy. In my experience a lot of patients do well with the paddles placed laterally (on the sides) of the buttocks. The best way to determine the best treatment and placement of paddles is to have an in person consultation with a board certified practitioner. Best of luck!

Although the EmSculpt placed on thighs is not FDA approved it is a common "off label" treatment area. The treatment on the back thigh is mainly targeting the biceps femoris. (located in the central back thigh)

Richard E. Moore, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. When treating the thighs, we place the paddles on the front of the thigh to focus on the quads. This is best done with a patient in an injection type chair as the legs will kick out with the treatment. This is not comfortable when laying down.
Placement of the paddles on the buttocks should be higher. We have seen significant improvements in patients who have a history of back pain when treating the buttocks.
I hope this was helpful - Dr. Moore.
