Book a complimentary consultation today at our Marin County location.

What Is Emsculpt?

Emsculpt is a cutting-edge treatment that uses high-intensity electromagnetic energy to trigger supramaximal muscle contractions—far beyond what’s possible through traditional exercise. Each session stimulates thousands of muscle contractions per minute, building muscle strength and definition while simultaneously reducing fat.

To put this into perspective, one Emsculpt session is equivalent to performing 20,000 sit-ups or squats—without the effort or strain. While traditional workouts cannot target localized fat loss, Emsculpt burns fat in the treated area, enhancing body contouring and definition.

First FDA-approved in 2014, Emsculpt has quickly become a game-changer in non-invasive body sculpting, earning the NEWBEAUTY "Best Muscle Toner + Fat Reducer for Body" award in 2023.

How to Prepare for Emsculpt

A complimentary consultation is required before treatment. On the day of your session, wear loose, comfortable clothing for ease of movement. No other preparation is necessary!

What to Expect During Treatment

Emsculpt treatments are quick and comfortable. You’ll relax while the device is applied to the targeted area. The treatment begins with low-intensity muscle contractions, gradually increasing to your comfort level. Sessions last 20 to 40 minutes, depending on the area being treated. Some patients describe the sensation as odd but not painful, similar to an intense workout without the effort.

Post-Treatment Recovery

Emsculpt has zero downtime, allowing you to resume normal activities immediately. The device alternates intense muscle contractions with a tapping phase to eliminate lactic acid buildup, reducing post-treatment soreness. Some patients experience mild muscle fatigue—similar to an intense workout—but no lasting discomfort.

When Will the Results Become Noticeable?

Many patients notice an immediate improvement in muscle tightness after just one session. However, full results develop over three months as muscle fibers continue to grow and fat cells are metabolized.

How Long Will the Results Last?

Emsculpt results can last six months to a year, but like any muscle-building program, maintenance is key. Without continued activity, muscles naturally atrophy over time. Here’s what you can do to maintain results:

  • Consider periodic maintenance treatments.
  • Incorporate strength training into your fitness routine.
  • Maintain a healthy diet to prevent fat accumulation.

Since Emsculpt permanently eliminates fat cells, they won’t return—but the remaining fat cells in the area can still expand if weight gain occurs.

How Many Treatments Are Recommended?

A typical Emsculpt plan consists of four to six treatments spaced two to three days apart. During your consultation, we’ll develop a customized plan tailored to your goals.

What Is the Science Behind Emsculpt?

Muscle Building

Muscles grow when they contract repeatedly over time. In traditional workouts, contractions are voluntary and controlled by signals from the brain. Emsculpt bypasses this process, forcing supramaximal contractions with high-intensity electromagnetic energy. This triggers a deep remodeling of muscle structure, making muscles stronger, firmer, and more toned.

Fat Reduction

Emsculpt also stimulates the release of epinephrine, a natural chemical that signals fat cells in the treatment area to break down and be permanently eliminated. This process enhances fat metabolism, helping to sculpt and define treated areas.
