Emsculpt in Houston, TX

Emsculpt uses an exclusive non-invasive HIFEM® (High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic) technology that induces powerful muscle contractions far more intense than those achieved through a voluntary contraction. These intensely strong contractions train muscle tissue to adapt by remodeling its inner structure, resulting in muscle building and top-of-the-line body sculpting. Emsculpt is not a replacement for an active lifestyle. Still, patients already at a healthy and stable weight can enhance their results naturally through this scientifically advanced treatment.

The Emsculpt procedure requires no pre- or post-treatment preparation, and there is no downtime following the treatment. However, it’s best if you arrive to your Emsculpt appointment hydrated and avoid wearing lotions or similar products on your skin. Dr. Bachilo may also advise you to avoid caffeine or alcohol the day of your Emsculpt treatment. Patients may feel some soreness due to muscle contractions, which is similar to soreness following a workout. However, you may resume all of your normal, routine activities immediately after your Emsculpt treatment. Most patients choose to take a few days away from their normal exercise routine to rest their muscles after Emsculpt treatment. However, you can resume exercise immediately after if you choose.

Most patients can see visible results immediately following the treatment. Results will usually be most dramatic at about two to four weeks following the last treatment session. Because treatments promote increased muscle activity, muscle tone and/or muscle mass will continue to improve for several weeks following the completed treatment sessions. Emsculpt results are long-lasting but not permanent. As with traditional exercise, you must continue to stimulate the muscles through either regular workouts or repeated Emsculpt sessions to maintain the results. You should also maintain a healthy and balanced diet to remain at a stable weight.

Emsculpt treatments can benefit nearly everyone, but they are beneficial for those close to their ideal body weight and want to increase muscle tone and definition to improve their overall strength, energy, and appearance. The procedure is an appropriate body contouring option for both men and women in Houston, TX. Generally, Emsculpt is recommended for patients who already live an active lifestyle and are at a healthy weight but wish to enhance the results they achieve naturally and gain additional muscle mass while reducing fat. Also, Emsculpt can be a good option for those who suffer from diastasis recti, which is damaged or separated in the abdominal muscle. Finally, those who are recovering from injuries or who wish to build muscle to prevent injury can, in some cases, benefit from Emsculpt treatment. Patients who have metal medical devices implanted in their body, such as screws, rods, pacemakers, or certain intra-uterine devices, should not have Emsculpt treatment. Dr. Bachilo can help you determine whether you are a good candidate for Emsculpt treatments and how to take advantage of this non-invasive treatment best.
