What are the indications of EMSculpt ?

EMSculpt is a versatile and effective treatment for anyone wishing to improve muscle definition, reduce localized fat and achieve a more toned silhouette.
This solution is ideal for :

  • Redefining the silhouette without surgery.
  • To sculpt the abdominal muscles and firm the buttocks.
  • Muscle strengthening and toning : Emsculpt is indicated for people who, despite regular physical activity, do not achieve the desired muscle results. The supramaximal contractions induced by Emsculpt make it possible to obtain stronger and more defined muscles.
  • Reduction of localized fat deposits : Emsculpt is ideal for stubborn fat bulges where fat persists despite physical activity and a healthy diet. A cryolipolysis session will be recommended before EMSculpt if the localized fat deposit is too significant.
  • Improvement of body definition.
  • Postpartum : Emsculpt is also beneficial in the postpartum period to regain abdominal tone after childbirth.
  • Physical preparation : athletes and fitness enthusiasts can use Emsculpt to improve their physical performance. By strengthening muscles and increasing muscle mass, Emsculpt helps improve strength, endurance and muscle recovery.
  • Alternative to surgery : a non-surgical alternative to body contouring procedures.

How does EMSculpt work ?

The muscles, stimulated by high-intensity electromagnetic waves, contract 20,000 times during the session (the duration of the session is approximately thirty minutes). This intense activity causes a reorganization of the muscle structure. An increase in muscle mass and a reduction in fat cells are observed.
Clinical studies conducted by PUBMED show a 20% increase in muscle and a 30% reduction in fat two months after the treatment (variable depending on the patient).

EMSculpt protocol

To obtain optimal and long-lasting results, a well-defined protocol has been established.
A cycle of four sessions, spaced two to three days apart, is recommended. This frequency allows the muscles time to recover between sessions and ensures regular stimulation, which optimizes muscle development and promotes the reduction of fat deposits.
Maintenance sessions every three to six months, depending on the individual needs and aesthetic goals of the patient, complete the protocol.

How an EMSCulpt session works

The treatment is preceded by a personalized consultation during which Dr. Romano discusses aesthetic goals with the patient and assesses their specific needs. This step is crucial to determine the areas to be treated and to develop an appropriate treatment plan.
The patient is comfortably positioned on the examination couch.
No special preparation is required. There is no need to fully undress.
The applicator is placed on the area to be treated.
The applicators emit high-intensity focused electromagnetic waves that penetrate deeply to stimulate muscle contractions.
These contractions are much more intense than those that can be achieved through voluntary exercise, triggering metabolic processes that promote muscle growth and the destruction of fat cells.

The intensity of the contractions is selected according to the indication and the patient’s tolerance.
An EMSculpt session lasts approximately 30 minutes per area .
During this time, the patient feels muscle contractions comparable to those of an intense physical workout, without any effort required on their part. These contractions are controlled and followed by relaxation phases.
At the end of the session, the patient can immediately resume their usual activities.

Recommendations for EMSculpt

To optimize the effects of the treatment, it is important to follow certain recommendations before and after each session.

Before the treatment

  • Stay well hydrated during the 24 hours preceding the session.
  • Eat a light meal the day before to avoid any discomfort during the treatment.
  • Do not apply creams or lotions to the treated areas on the day of the session.

After the treatment

  • Continue to stay well hydrated for one week.
  • If the patient experiences slight muscle soreness, a cold compress can be applied to the area.
  • Avoid intense physical activity for 24 hours following the session.
  • Apply a moisturizing cream to the treated areas.

Results before / after EMSculpt

One of the main advantages of EMSculpt is the speed of results. Visible changes begin to appear as early as the second or third session, with continued improvement over the following weeks. The results are long-lasting, especially when combined with a healthy and active lifestyle.

  • Increase in muscle mass : patients observe on average a 16% increase in muscle mass in the treated areas. Muscle growth is rapid and effective. The silhouette is more toned and well defined.
  • Reduction of localized fat : studies show an average decrease of 19% in fat deposits. This reduction is due to the metabolic effect of muscle contractions, which consume energy and break down fat cells.
  • Improvement in muscle definition that is particularly visible in the abdomen, buttocks, arms and thighs.
  • Muscle strengthening : patients feel stronger and have more energy.

What are the side effects of EMSculpt ?

EMSculpt treatment is widely appreciated for its safety and effectiveness, but as with any procedure, certain side effects may occur.

  • Muscle soreness similar to that felt after an intense workout.
  • Temporary redness : generally disappears within a few hours.
  • Mild swelling.
  • Bruising.
  • Involuntary muscle contractions during and immediately after the session; they subside quickly.

The total number of recommended sessions varies according to the aesthetic goals, the area treated, and each patient’s individual muscular response.
