The original Emsculpt machine revolutionized the body sculpting industry as the first FDA cleared treatment for the “improvement of abdominal tone, strengthening of the abdominal muscles, development of firmer abdomen.” In addition, Emsculpt “strengthens, tones, and firms the buttocks,  thighs, arms, and calves.”

Emsculpt accomplished this using Highly Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy. The HIFEM energy stimulates muscle tissue, inducing powerful contractions. A single, 30-minute treatment performs over 20,000 supramaximal contractions. This is equivalent to 20,000 crunches, 20,000 lunges, 20,000 bicep curls, or 20,000 squats (depending on what muscle group receives the treatment.)

To adapt to the intense workout placed on the muscles during an Emsculpt treatment, the body creates new muscle cells and strengthens existing muscle tissues. This results in a stronger core, sculpted abs, toned thighs and developed calves, defined biceps and triceps, or firmer, more lifted buttocks.
