Emsculpt - is it safe for patients wirh cardiac stents?

Hello and thank you for your question! You are likely a good candidate for Emsculpt, but you should get clearance from your cardiologist first.

Emsculpt uses high-intensity electromagnetic energy to stimulate muscle contractions. Emsculpt NEO has the addition of Radiofrequency energy for fat-burning. While your stents are metal and not electronic, electromagnetic fields can sometimes interact with metal implants. That said, your stents were placed 13 years ago and are likely well-healed and covered by tissue, which reduces risk.

**Bottom line:** It’s probably safe, but check with your cardiologist to confirm that electromagnetic treatment in the abdominal area won’t affect your heart stents.

Best of luck!

Safe it’s a relative term.
Life has risk.
I don’t believe that Emsculpt has a noted high risk in regards to coronary disease and causing a blockage or heart attacks.
Simply having coronary artery disease puts patients at higher risk for future, cardiac events than those who do not.
The most qualified provider to answer your question is probably your cardiologist.
Best,
