Emsculpt Q&A

What is EmSculpt?

EmSculpt is an FDA-approved body sculpting treatment to improve your muscle tone and decrease fat. This innovative treatment uses HIFEM® (High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic) technology to cause rapid and intense muscle contractions. As a result, your muscles adapt and grow.

While EmSculpt has cosmetic uses, at Precision Regenerative Medicine, Dr. Penhollow uses the treatment for physical rehabilitation. The treatment can enhance your core strength and stability and help build muscle in your arms, back, buttocks, and legs. Dr. Penhollow refers to this strengthening of the core muscles as the 'Tower of Power'.

Strengthening these muscles can relieve pain, restore function, and improve your posture and stability in "rehab" or rehabilitation post injury or post operatively. Emsculpt can also be used for "prehab" to help prevent future injuries from occurring and to prepare the body BEFORE surgery to facilitate a quicker recovery.

Am I a good candidate for EmSculpt?

You should make an appointment with Dr. Penhollow to learn more about EmSculpt if you have:

Acute or chronic injuries
Back, knee, or shoulder pain
Planned or prior knee surgery
Planned or prior lumbar spine surgery
Planned or prior shoulder surgery

Dr. Penhollow also uses EmSculpt to treat sports injuries, helping athletes regain their high level of fitness and safely return to their sports. In some cases, Dr. Penhollow may also recommend EmSculpt treatment in order to prevent new injuries from occurring by strengthening the core muscles.

EmSculpt can also help tighten and tone your body, enhancing your appearance. For example, if you’ve been working out and eating right, you might still struggle with a trouble spot, like your lower abdomen, that won’t respond.

EmSculpt can target these problem areas, helping you get the results you’ve been working toward.

What should I expect during an EmSculpt treatment?

You and lie down on a treatment table. Dr. Penhollow attaches the EmSculpt paddles over the skin of the target area.

An EmSculpt treatment takes about 30 minutes. You might feel a deep vibration, twitching, or a buzzing sensation during the treatment. EmSculpt is noninvasive, and you don’t need to take any time off to recover.

When will I see results?

Patients respond to EmSculpt treatment differently. Many patients notice an improvement within a couple of weeks, but you may need more time depending on your pain levels and condition.

Dr. Penhollow provides thorough exams before creating your treatment plan. She usually recommends a series of treatments to achieve the desired results. Optimal results for cosmetic use are seen in patients with a BMI less than 30, with the most visible results starting at 8 weeks after the last treatment. She can provide customized advice about what you can expect from EmSculpt sessions.
