Had a consult and 5 min try of Emsculpt Neo. Technician did mention it causes heavier periods. I have the plastic IUD. Does any doctor know why Emsculpt causes heavier flow? Thank you!

Any stressful event can change periods. For most, EMScuplt is not stressful per se, but might have been for your friend. It should not be done on the abdomen if you have an IUD with metal.
This technology has been safely used since 2010, initially for astronauts who lost muscle mass while in space. Your treatments are only for 30 minutes and are a limited number over a month, with possible boosting with one as needed. You have much more exposure from microwaves.
