Can Emsculpt really give you the same results as those seen from 20,000 squats, crunches, bicep curls, calf lifts, and other key exercises in just 30 minutes without you having to do a single thing? The answer is yes—and there’s plenty of research to back it up. Emsculpt is a relatively new innovation, but there have already been 13 clinical studies performed that support this muscle-toning and fat-reducing treatment. Emsculpt uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to force targeted muscles into 20,000 supramaximal contractions, similar to how muscles contract when you strength-train. One study in the Journal of Aesthetic & Reconstructive Surgery showed that of 21 women who underwent 4 Emsculpt sessions in their glutes, the majority enjoyed aesthetic improvements in the volume and shape of their backside, with less muscle laxity and the look of a “lifted” derriere.
Emsculpt also reduces unwanted subcutaneous fat, the deepest level of fat, further enhancing the look of toned muscles. In a study in the American Society for Dermatological Surgery, researchers used ultrasound to track and measure subcutaneous fat in four areas before and after Emsculpt sessions. In total, 33 participants opted for 4 Emsculpt sessions on their abs. There was “significant” reduction in abdominal subcutaneous fat, averaging a 19% loss one month after the last treatment and 23.3% three months after the final treatment. The participants reported no discomfort and the vast majority were happy with their results. According to the researchers, based on the ultrasound results and photos, Emsculpt is effective and non-invasive way to banish unwanted subcutaneous fat.
