Emsculpt® in Beverly Hills, CA
Lack of definition in your midsection and loose, sagging buttocks can become frustrating and discouraging for many women and men. Exercise alone is usually not enough to address these relaxed muscles because voluntary muscle contractions that you complete through sit-ups and other exercise routines are minimally effective.
Rather than treating these issues with surgery or implants, a newer, FDA-approved non-invasive technique can help improve the muscles of the abdomen, buttocks, thighs, calves, and arms without a surgical procedure. Strengthen and tone your muscles to sculpt your body with Emsculpt® technology.
What Is Emsculpt®?
Emsculpt® is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive body contouring treatment. It uses electromagnetic energy to induce muscle contractions, which helps build muscle and burn fat. The treatment is more powerful than an intense workout, especially for its ability to spot reduce fat while simultaneously creating muscle tone.
What Can Emsculpt® Achieve?
-
Tighter, Stronger Muscles
Emsculpt® treatments are designed to restructure underlying muscles with an intense concentration of contractions for firmer muscular formation.
-
Muscle Definition
After treatment, you can see more defined muscles in strategically targeted areas. This is because Emsculpt® simultaneously strengthens muscles and burns fat.
-
Slimmer Contours
With significantly firmer muscles, fatty tissues are released and dispensed by the body, leaving you with a thinner physique.
Am I a Candidate for Emsculpt®?
If you are dissatisfied with a small layer of fat on your abdomen or elsewhere and are interested in increasing your muscle tone, Emsculpt® may be a viable option for you. Ideal candidates for Emsculpt® should be in good health and have realistic expectations. It’s also important to be close to your goal weight. Ideally, patients will already have a healthy lifestyle, including proper diet and regular exercise. This treatment is also helpful for patients who are recovering from injury and need help building muscle. If you have metal medical devices, such as pacemakers, defibrillators, or implants, you should not undergo this treatment. Similarly, if you have muscular problems or are pregnant or nursing, Emsculpt® may not be for you.

It depends on how active your lifestyle is and what your desired results are.
Are there any side effects or pain involved with Emsculpt®?
Pain and side effects are not usually associated with Emsculpt® treatment. You may feel sore as if your muscles have undergone a robust workout, and some patients may feel tired after treatment. Emsculpt® is designed to get rid of lactic acid build-up in order to minimize soreness.
What areas of the body can be treated with Emsculpt®?
The arms, stomach, thighs, calves, and buttocks can all benefit from Emsculpt® treatments.
How much does Emsculpt® cost?

Do I need to do anything to prepare for Emsculpt® treatment?
Yes, there are a few things you should do before treatment:
- Hydrate in the days before treatment. This helps your muscular response time and aids your body’s ability to eliminate fat. Drink two liters the day before and one liter on the day of treatment.
- Avoid consuming food, caffeine, alcohol, and sugar two hours before your session.
- Shave any body hair around the treatment area.
- Make sure the area is free of lotion.
- Wear loose, comfortable clothing that makes it easy to expose the treatment area.
Dr. Chiu will provide more details during your consultation.
Can Emsculpt® be combined with other treatments?
Emsculpt® combines very well with CoolSculpting® for effective, non-invasive spot reduction and body sculpting without downtime. Emsculpt® is great for muscle toning, while CoolSculpting® provides powerful fat reduction. Dr. Chiu and his team can help create a treatment plan that involves the best number and sequence of treatments for you.
What happens to the fat eliminated by Emsculpt® treatment?
Radiofrequency (RF) energy applied during an Emsculpt® treatment heats fat cells to a specific temperature. This destroys the fat cells, which the body then naturally processes and permanently eliminates through the lymphatic system. Fat cells exit the body through sweat, urine, and waste matter.
Are there any risks in undergoing Emsculpt® treatment?
Emsculpt® is generally safe. However, no treatment on the market is without risks. Emsculpt® can cause skin soreness, redness, swelling, and bruising. Some patients may experience nausea, dizziness, temporary weakness, or fatigue. If you experience these, listen to your body and allow yourself time to rest before resuming your regular exercise routine. If any symptoms get worse, talk to your primary care physician right away. Always feel free to call our office with any questions you may have.
