In the constantly evolving world of non-invasive aesthetic treatments, EMSCULPT presents itself as an innovative solution for those who wish to reshape their silhouette without going through surgery. This article invites you to discover the main aspects of this revolutionary method for working the muscles of the stomach and buttocks without playing sports, as well as the results to expect.
What is EMSCULPT treatment?
EMSCULPT is a non-surgical aesthetic treatment aimed at strengthening muscles and reducing localized fat. It uses HIFEM (High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic) technology which causes intense and rapid muscle contractions, thus simulating the equivalent of thousands of physical exercises targeted on the treated areas. This technology has the effect of strengthening and toning the muscles, while increasing their metabolism in order to promote the elimination of surrounding fat cells.
Areas affected by EMSCULPT treatment
The EMSCULPT treatment is primarily aimed at people wishing to improve the appearance of their abs or buttocks . The target sectors are:
- The abdomen: ideal for those who dream of having well-defined abs but who struggle to obtain results despite the physical efforts undertaken.
- The buttocks: for those who wish to shape their behind, toning it and reshaping its natural shape.
However, it is important to emphasize that EMSCULPT is not designed for overweight people. This is a targeted treatment for localized fat deposits, not for general weight loss.
Progress of an EMSCULPT session
During an EMSCULPT session, a handpiece equipped with electrodes is positioned on the area to be treated. The electromagnetic pulses generated make it possible to intensely stimulate the muscles, thus causing successive contractions much greater than those induced by conventional sporting effort. A session generally lasts 30 minutes during which the patient will feel the muscle contractions without experiencing any particular pain.
To obtain optimal results, it is recommended to carry out a minimum of four EMSCULPT sessions , two sessions per week, for two consecutive weeks.
Aftermath of EMSCULPT treatment
After an EMSCULPT session, you will be able to resume your daily activities immediately thanks to its non-invasive nature. It is normal to feel slight muscle fatigue, similar to that experienced after intensive physical training.
Results obtained thanks to EMSCULPT treatment
The first effects of EMSCULPT may be noticeable as soon as the four sessions have been completed, although optimal results are usually visible two to six weeks after the last treatment. Allowing you to target and strengthen the abdominal and gluteal muscles, EMSCULPT contributes to:
- Improve the tone and firmness of treated areas
- Increase muscle mass
- Promote the elimination of surrounding fat cells
Even if the results obtained with EMSCULPT are comparable to those achievable through the regular practice of targeted sporting exercises, they do not exempt you from adopting a healthy lifestyle - including a balanced diet and regular sports practice - to sustainably reduce fat. body and maintain the effects of the treatment.
Satisfaction rate and sustainability of results
Overall, patients who have used EMSCULPT treatment say they are satisfied with the results obtained, particularly in terms of firmness and muscle tone. The effects of the treatment can last several months or even years, taking into account the fact that a healthy lifestyle is essential to guarantee its longevity.
Contraindications and side effects of EMSCULPT treatment
EMSCULPT is generally well tolerated and causes only rare side effects. Contraindications are mainly related to the patient's general health and may include:
- People wearing an internal electronic device (pacemaker, neurostimulator)
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women
- People with an inguinal or abdominal hernia
As for the side effects, they are minimal - feelings of discomfort or soreness in the treated areas - and disappear after a few days at most.
