Emsculpt

Emsculpt is a cutting-edge way to build muscle and achieve six-pack abs or strong, curvaceous buttocks in as little as thirty minutes. Emsculpt is an innovation in energy-based body sculpting that employs electromagnetic frequencies to build and tone muscles to give you the tight, firm physique that you desire.

If you are unhappy with your muscle tone, Emsculpt is a fat-fighting, muscle-building treatment worth considering. Emsculpt stimulates your muscles to trigger an effect known as “supramaximal muscle contractions.” These contractions are strong, involuntary muscle movements that accomplish more than what can be done through exercise and intentional muscle movement. ⁽¹⁾ A single Emsculpt session from Dr. Jack Friedlander can accomplish the equivalent of 20,000 crunches and can slim various parts of the body, including the arms, calves, thighs, abdomen, and buttocks.

If you want to sculpt your body to meet your personal image goals and enhance your fitness abilities, then schedule a consultation with Dr. Friedlander today. He has a strong reputation for patient satisfaction in the Sacramento and Northern California areas and can help you achieve the results you desire. If you have any questions, please call the NorCal Liposculpture office in Roseville at (916) 347-7755.

About Emsculpt

Emsculpt builds muscle and burns fat without a single incision and requires no recovery time. This is possible because Emsculpt uses HIFEM technology. HIFEM stands for High-Intensity Focused ElectroMagnetic field; a safe, FDA-approved method of stimulating strong, supramaximal muscle contractions. ⁽²⁾ Supramaximal muscle contractions are involuntary muscle movements that react to an introduced stimulus like temperature, pain, or in this case, electromagnetic fields. They are much stronger than what an individual is normally able to accomplish with intentional exercise, and hence they are important for building lots of muscle very quickly.

How Does Emsculpt Burn Fat?

Emsculpt’s targeted HIFEM technology triggers supramaximal muscle contractions. Once the brain detects the intense muscle activity, it will respond by sending a signal to the area to increase fatty acid breakdown. Intense muscle movements require calories, nutrients, and ATP energy to be performed. The fat around the treatment area will be broken down to fuel your muscles. This treatment area can be wherever your body stores fat. Your body will pull energy from these fat deposits because they are the closest to the muscles being activated. Your fat metabolism will increase. The flab in the treated area will continue to shrink with every Emsculpt session, and the result is a firmer muscular contour. If you have been struggling to achieve your ideal level of muscle definition, Emsculpt will help you get rid of your fat and tone your body.

Benefits

Emsculpt offers patients countless benefits for their health and self-esteem while conveniently fitting into a busy schedule and eliminating recovery times. Dr. Friedlander’s patients typically experience:

Another major benefit of Emsculpt treatments is that they do not damage tissue and are completely pain-free. Unlike other energy-based body sculpting techniques, like radiofrequency treatments, electromagnetic procedures do not produce any painful heat energy. ⁽²⁾

Candidates

Emsculpt is an excellent option for healthy men and women who struggle to tone and sculpt their abdomen, buttocks, arms, thighs, or calves. If you have a low BMI, you are a good candidate to transform your body with Emsculpt.

It is important to note that Emsculpt is not a weight loss procedure. Patients who have lost weight can and do receive this treatment, but it is recommended that they be at or near their goal weight before beginning to sculpt their bodies with Emsculpt. This procedure helps to finalize and tailor their body to their ideal image once they have reached their goal weight.

Additionally, because of how quick and painless the procedure is, Emsculpt is a very convenient way for people with busy schedules to achieve their goals without having to spend extra hours in the gym.

Personal Consultation

If you think that you would benefit from an Emsculpt regimen, we encourage you to schedule a consultation with Dr. Friedlander. At this meeting, you will learn more about Emsculpt and HIFEM technology and how it will apply to your case. He will also perform a physical examination to determine if this is the right treatment option for your goals.

To make sure Emsculpt is safe and appropriate for your case, Dr. Friedlander will go over your medical history and medication use with you. If he believes an alternative procedure will deliver your desired results, he will share his professional opinion at this time. Some patients may have an additional layer of fat above their targeted treatment sites that will need to be removed for Emsculpt to be effective. If this applies to you, Dr. Friedlander may recommend beginning with a VASER liposuction procedure.

Procedure

Emsculpt is convenient and comfortable. You will sit comfortably or lie prone while Dr. Friedlander or one of the NorCal Liposculpture specialists applies the treatment. Emsculpt uses a circular magnetic coil positioned on the body to stimulate muscle contractions. Electromagnetic currents are delivered around 20,000 times throughout a 30-minute session, and each wave is roughly equivalent to one crunch or squat. ⁽²⁾

Your body will start breaking down your fatty tissues at a high rate to provide energy to fuel the muscles. This puts your body into a hypermetabolic state where fat is burned much faster than normal, and this will continue for a few hours after your procedure, similar to how your body recovers after a session at the gym. Patients accomplish their best results after four Emsculpt sessions, spaced at least three days apart. You will see the results of your first treatment within two to six weeks.

Emsculpt Abdomen

If you struggle to tone your midsection, or you have a small, stubborn layer of fat that conceals your abdominal muscles, Emsculpt is a targeted way to address these issues and achieve your body contouring goals.

The Emsculpt applicator will emit a HIFEM field to trigger thousands of abdominal muscle crunches and burn fat while you sit comfortably. Emsculpt has helped thousands of men and women tone their abdomens and slim their waistlines.

Emsculpt Buttocks

When applied to the buttocks, Emsculpt can achieve similar results to a butt lift or Brazilian Butt Lift without any surgical action. The result is fuller, rounder, firmer, more flattering buttocks. In only a few weeks, you will see a major improvement in its size and shape.

Emsculpt Thighs

Emsculpt applicators can be applied to the thighs to give your legs greater mass and tone. Throughout your 30-minute treatment, the HIFEM energy will trigger supramaximal contractions in your thigh muscles. You will be able to see your muscles flexing during your treatment.

Emsculpt Calves

The calves are frequently the most visible part of the leg, and they can be an embarrassing eyesore if the loose, flabby muscle around your legs does not match the rest of your toned physique. Emsculpt is an easy way to tone your calves to have the sharp, muscular contours you want to see.

Emsculpt Arms

If you would like to reduce the fat on your arms and achieve strong, attractive muscle definition, Emsculpt is an excellent way to achieve your goals. Your arms will undergo supramaximal contractions not possible during exercise and weight lifting.

Recovery

No downtime for recovery is required after Emsculpt. However, much like an intense workout, your muscles may be sore following your session for a day or two. You are welcome to treat this as you would with any other post-workout soreness. Patients are free to work out immediately after their Emsculpt session but should let the treated area rest for at least a day to give the muscles time to recover.

Because of your increased metabolism and exerted calories, you may have a strong appetite after your procedure. If this is the case, please be mindful of the foods you consume. Opting for healthy, nutritious, and lower-calorie meals will help you maintain your results longer and feel healthier in the following days.

Results

Results of your first Emsculpt treatment will emerge within 2 to 6 weeks. Your buttocks will become firmer, rounder, and smoother. Your stomach will be slimmer and your abdominal muscles will be more pronounced. Patients who treat their arms or legs will enjoy beautiful muscle definition and a noticeable reduction in fat.

Patients often accomplish as much as 16% muscle mass increase and 19% fat reduction with Emsculpt. In a sample of 370 patients across 14 different studies, no patients experienced any complications with their treatment and were satisfied with their results. ⁽²⁾

Results will continue to improve over 6 months. We recommend forming healthy eating and exercise habits to keep your metabolism at its increased rate and continue to build muscle and reduce fat.

You can also maintain your results with subsequent Emsculpt sessions. When you discuss your goals with Dr. Friedlander at your consultation, you can talk about your ideal long-term results and create a personalized treatment plan.

Corresponding & Complementary Procedures

Emsculpt is an excellent way to address a small amount of fat on the stomach, buttocks, arms, or legs. Unfortunately, stubborn deposits can take hold almost anywhere on the body. Even a very healthy individual can have trouble spots of subcutaneous fat on their arms, flanks, chin, or thighs.

Patients who have a pinchable amount of subcutaneous fat or more may be good candidates to address their fat stores with VASER liposuction. This minimally invasive procedure allows Dr. Friedlander to eliminate fat deposits, tighten the skin, and improve the muscular contours in the treated area. If you would like to incorporate this into your body contouring treatments, feel free to discuss this with him at your consultation.

Cost of Emsculpt in Sacramento

The total cost of your Emsculpt treatment will depend on what body parts are being treated, how many sessions are required, and what your goals are. You will receive a price quote when you meet with Dr. Friedlander to discuss your plans.
