What Is EMsculpt® Technology?

EMsculpt uses HIFEM®, which is High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic energy to induce intense muscle contractions. This energy triggers the supramaximal muscles to contract in a way that goes far beyond what regular exercise can achieve. During treatment, these electromagnetic energy pulses cause the muscles to thicken and strengthen, remodeling the abdomen, thighs, or buttocks to reveal a sculpted, firm core. Dr. Mess also offers an advanced contour applicator designed for smaller areas – allowing EMsculpt to tone upper arms and deliver improved muscle definition for calves.

What to Expect During Your EMsculpt® or EMsculpt Neo™ Treatment

EMsculpt and EMsculpt Neo treatments build muscle mass through a series of high intensity muscle contractions. These treatments are performed in the office and don’t require any anesthesia or numbing agents. Instead, you are awake throughout the entire session and resting comfortably on either your stomach or back (depending on the treatment area). To begin, your experienced technician will attach one or more EMsculpt or EMsculpt Neo panels to the targeted area. From here, varying patterns of the High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic energy are delivered through the panels, causing rapid muscle contractions. Your muscles will contract around 20,000 times per treatment session!

EMsculpt Neo eliminates fat using radiofrequency heating, which rapidly raises the temperature of the targeted area by several degrees. This causes apoptosis, or permanently damages the fat cells which are then slowly absorbed and removed from the body.

Each session takes roughly 30 minutes to complete, and you will definitely feel the treatment working. For optimal results, it is recommended that patients undergo at least four sessions spaced two to three days apart.

Preparing for Your EMsculpt® Treatment

EMsculpt and EMsculpt Neo are fast and easy non-invasive treatments that require no advanced preparation or post-treatment care.
