Emsculpt has been officially available for one year, and it\u2019s safe to say that it\u2019s a runaway hit. This innovative energy-based treatment is the first of its kind that enhances the definition of abdominal and buttocks muscles while reducing the thickness of overlying fat as well. According to plastic surgeon Dr. Stanley Poulos of Plastic Surgery Specialists<\/a>\u00a0in the San Francisco Bay area, \u201cThis revolutionary non-surgical muscle-building and fat-loss device has found its niche in the aesthetics market, and rather quickly at that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Abs\"<\/p>\n

\u201cSurgical procedures can reduce fat but cannot create muscle, and they require downtime for recovery. Emsculpt helps enhance the body\u2019s contours and muscle strength without incisions or scars\u2014and minimal soreness,\u201d says Dr. Poulos. But how? This treatment utilizes HIFEM (or high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy) to simulate the effects of 20,000 sit-ups in each 30-minute session. The pulses of energy cause the muscles to contract at rapid speed, which leads to rapid building as well as the breakdown of fat. Dr. Poulos explains, \u201cStrengthening the core and buttocks can help tremendously in running, cycling, yoga, and more. Relief of back pain has also been reported, and this is a welcome side effect for many patients.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Arms\"<\/p>\n

As for the latest Emsculpt developments, BTL, the company behind the treatment recently announced that they are rolling out a smaller applicator as well as new protocols for treating the arms, thighs, obliques and calves. Similar to the original Emsculpt for the abdomen and buttocks, the new treatment for the arms will replicate the equivalent of 20,000 bicep curls in 20 minutes. Dr. Poulos says, \u201cThis is great news, as patients now have the option to enhance the areas that are most important to them.\u201d<\/p>\n

BTL has also revealed that more than 500 practices in North America are now offering the treatment, and that 65,000 treatments have been performed in the past year with zero complications or adverse responses. According to Dr. Poulos, \u201cThis is a very impressive safely profile that adds to the attractiveness and popularity of Emsculpt.\u201d The results of independent studies have been released as well, and the findings include:<\/p>\n
