What Is EMSCULPT® and How Does It Build Muscle?

Even with the most diligent gym and diet routines, many people find it difficult or impossible to ever achieve the visible muscle lines and definition they’re after. This can be due to genetics, hormones, stubborn fat accumulation, and other variables. For men and women who are looking to enhance muscle tone and achieve firmer, more athletic contours, EMSCULPT nonsurgical body contouring can be a fantastic option. During EMSCULPT treatment in Hillsborough Township, NJ, high-intensity electromagnetic energy stimulates the muscles beyond what’s possible with exercise alone, helping to boost muscle growth while simultaneously reducing fat that may be concealing underlying musculature. 

At The Secret Orchid, board-certified physician Dr. Carolyn DeLucia and our experienced team of aesthetic specialists offer advanced EMSCULPT nonsurgical body sculpting to help you finally get the lines and contours you deserve when nothing else seems to work. Take a closer look at how EMSCULPT for muscle tone works, what results may be possible for you, and more. 

 

What does EMSCULPT do? 

EMSCULPT is a nonsurgical body contouring treatment that uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to trigger thousands of powerful muscle contractions during a single session. These supramaximal contractions are far more intense than what can be achieved through voluntary exercise, prompting the muscles to adapt by building new muscle fibers while also increasing muscle density. At the same time, the intense muscle activity helps break down nearby fat cells, allowing patients to enjoy a more sculpted appearance. Benefits of EMSCULPT may include:  

• Increased muscle tone 
• Enhanced muscle definition 
• Improved body contours 
• Reduction of stubborn fat 
• No surgery or downtime 

Visible results continue to develop in the weeks following treatment as the body responds to the muscle stimulation and fat reduction. 

 

Where can EMSCULPT be used? 

EMSCULPT can strengthen and tone muscles in several areas of the body where patients commonly want greater definition. Depending on your anatomy and aesthetic goals, treatment may be recommended for the abdomen to create a firmer-looking core, the buttocks for improved lift and contour, the arms for enhanced definition, or the calves and thighs to help shape the lower body. During your consultation, Dr. DeLucia and our team will evaluate your concerns and recommend the EMSCULPT treatment areas that can best support your desired results. 

 

How many EMSCULPT sessions will I need? 

Most patients achieve optimal results with a series of about 3 – 5 EMSCULPT treatments scheduled over a few weeks, though your personalized treatment plan may vary depending on your starting point and goals. Some patients choose additional sessions to further enhance muscle definition or address multiple treatment areas. After completing the initial series, periodic maintenance treatments can help preserve and extend your results, particularly when paired with a healthy diet and regular exercise routine. 

 

Will muscle definition go away if I stop EMSCULPT? 

Like muscles developed through traditional strength training, the muscle gained with EMSCULPT requires ongoing use to maintain size and definition. If you stop EMSCULPT treatments and do not continue to challenge your muscles through physical activity, muscle mass can gradually decrease over time. However, maintaining an active lifestyle and scheduling occasional maintenance sessions can help preserve your sculpted appearance and keep your muscles looking strong and toned for the long term. 

 

Does EMSCULPT kill fat cells too? 

In addition to building muscle, EMSCULPT has been shown to reduce stubborn fat in the treated area. The intense muscle contractions increase the muscles' demand for energy, causing nearby fat cells to break down. Once these fat cells are removed by the body's natural processes, they do not regenerate. While EMSCULPT is not intended as a weight loss treatment, it can help reduce pockets of stubborn fat that hide underlying muscle definition, making it an excellent option for patients who are already close to their ideal weight but want a leaner, more athletic appearance.
