EMSculpt is a concentrated electromagnetic therapy procedure designed to increase muscle volume and the number of muscle fibres and shape specific areas of the body, including arms, abdominals, and buttocks.

EMSculpt is a highly popular non-invasive body-sculpting treatment that helps build muscle and support patients in their journey to obtain a slimmer and more toned body. Within 24 hours after the treatment, you will feel some soreness similar to the one you feel after a high-intensity workout at the gym. Using high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy (HIFEM), the EMSculpt device delivers electromagnetic pulses to the muscles and creates supra-maximal muscle contractions. The contractions are deeper and more efficient than voluntary contractions from exercising.

Deeper and stronger muscle movement forces your muscles to firm and tone more quickly than with regular exercise, giving you noticeable body shaping and defined contours on your body, whether you’re looking to sculpt the butt, abdominals, calves, thighs, or arms.

To supply energy for so many muscle contractions, neighbouring fat cells break down via lipolysis and release fatty acids. Fat cells are damaged to the point where they die, and the body naturally eliminates them. The combined action of muscle tightening and fat-cell destruction produces firmer, toned muscles.

EMSculpt Neo incorporates the results of EMSculpt and further combines radio-frequency and electromagnetic technology — also referred to as HIFEM™— into a single and highly effective treatment. During the procedure, the temperature of the fat cells is raised, which causes the cells to break down permanently within minutes.

EMSculpt Neo combines the two types of energy to produce superior results. Firstly, using the same technique as EMSculpt – high intensity focused electromagnetic technology (HIFEM™) energy – EMSculpt Neo causes rapid muscle contractions that build muscle fibres to improve strength and tone.

At the same time, radiofrequency (RF) energy raises muscle temperature by several degrees to prepare them for contraction – in the same way that you would ordinarily perform a warm-up exercise ahead of any significant physical exertion. The temperature of fat cells is also increased. Within a few minutes, the temperature in these fat cells rises enough to break them down, enabling them to be metabolized by the body and eliminated through the usual waste methods.

This is permanent fat removal, meaning it is possible to maintain the results of your treatment indefinitely, provided you don’t start gaining weight.

EMSculpt Neo takes the technique and results of EMSculpt and raises the bar further by combining muscle building, fat reduction, and skin tightening. EMSculpt Neo combines radio-frequency and electromagnetic technology into a single highly effective treatment and can be used to sculpt the butt, arms, thighs, calves, or abdominals.

EMSculpt

• Average 16% increase in muscle mass
• Average 19% reduction in fat

EMSculpt Neo

• Up to 25% increase in muscle mass
• Up to 30% of fat reduction

EMSculpt and EMSculpt Neo are non-invasive body sculpting treatments that can target a range of areas on the body. This procedure is FDA-cleared to address fat reduction around the arms, thighs, abdominals, calves, and buttocks.

During the treatment, you may experience uncomfortable sensations when the muscles contract. These sensations are less intense as you get used to the contractions.

After your procedure, you may experience side effects such as temporary soreness in the treated area. Soreness should go away within three days. This treatment is effective for both men and women.

If you are experiencing side effects that concern you after an EMSculpt procedure, contact your clinician right away.

There are several benefits to this non-surgical, non-invasive method of sculpting the body you want. Here are a few ways EMSculpt in Calgary can benefit you:

• It will help you gradually achieve transformational results.
• Non-surgical: no needles, knives, or anesthesia.
• Easy maintenance with a few sessions throughout the year.
• There is little or no downtime after the procedure.

Just about every patient can benefit from EMSculpt or EMSculpt Neo. However, people with a few extra pounds to lose may not see as much of a change because the fat can act as a barrier between the magnetic coil and the muscles, reducing the strength of the muscle contractions during treatment. Working with medical professionals will ensure that you can achieve your goals for your body in a way that is safe for you.

Ideal candidates have less than an inch of pinchable fat in the treated area, according to research by a medical advisor to EMSculpt’s manufacturer, BTL.

Preventous offers body contouring treatments that would be more effective in reducing the fat before you start your EMSculpt sessions.

It’s also important to notice that there are certain medical conditions that do not go well with EMSculpt. Working with medical professionals will ensure that you can achieve your goals for your body in a way that is safe for you.

You may be a candidate for other body contouring technologies such as Coolsculpting or you may be able to use both treatments with each other.

During this time, you’ll discuss your goals with your EMSculpt clinician. Together, we’ll look at your entire body from different angles, including the specific areas of fat you want to eliminate.

Your clinician will develop a customized treatment plan designed to help you achieve your goals. You may need more than one EMSculpt treatment, depending on your individual needs and goals. Follow-up sessions every two months, paired with regular exercise, can help to maintain results.
