Does Emsculpt actually make you stronger?
EmSculpt Strengthening
Feb 26, 2019
Feb 26, 2019
Thank you for your question. EmSculpt builds muscle which in turn increases strength, so to answer your question, yes. Many of our patients who have done abdomen treatments say that they are able to do more in the gym and that EmSculpt has improved their abdomen strength and endurance. EmSculpt treatments on the thighs should improve strength in the legs similarly. Consult with your EmSculpt provider for more information. I hope this was helpful.
Can Exilis on the face for a male cause the hair to fall out if the heat from the laser moves acros
Exilis on Hair
Feb 21, 2019
Feb 21, 2019
Thank you for your question. Exilis Ultra uses radio frequency and ultrasound technology to tighten the skin, so no lasers are involved. This means that no hair is removed. We have done treatment over eyebrows and no hair was removed. The treatment should not be burning your skin or hair follicles and all hair should stay attached. I hope this helps. Talk to your health care provider for more information and clarity on the Exilis treatment.
Are there any doctors doing Emsculpt on thighs?
EmSculpt on the Thighs
Feb 21, 2019
Feb 21, 2019
Thank you for your question. At this time EmSculpt is not FDA approved for the thighs so it may be difficult to find a practice that will perform it on the thighs. We have tried it on our staff here and have found some great results and improved strength when applied to the top of the thigh. I imagine that it will be FDA approved for the thighs in the near future, and once it is you will be sure to see positive results and increased strength. I hope this helps.
Is Emsculpt dangerous if you have had surgery and or arthritis?
EmSculpt Use
Feb 19, 2019
Feb 19, 2019
Hi, thank you for your question. EmSculpt is a safe option and will not affect your arthritis. It is also alright to use with titanium screws since titanium does not conduct heat. It is best if the screws are not near the treatment area, but either way they should not be an issue. I hope this helps.

EmSculpt Sessions
Feb 19, 2019
Feb 19, 2019
Thank you for your question. EmSculpt is a great option to help build muscle and a lot of the benefits will come from the first 4-6 treatments. These results will continue even after your treatment series so I would recommend banking the remaining two treatments for maintenance. If you are satisfied with your results so far it would be best to wait and space out the rest of your treatments. I hope this helps.
I have a huge bruise on my side and it hurts. Should I be concerned?
Uncomfortable Treatments
Feb 11, 2019
Feb 11, 2019
Thank you for your question. Treatments should be warm and potentially uncomfortable, however they should not be painful. It sounds like the power was turned up too high or the applicator was too close to the skin. It is true that some people are more sensitive to the treatment and the knot is a sign that the fat cells are being destroyed. For your final treatment I would recommend requesting a lower power setting. Also, adding cellutone(acoustic wave therapy) or getting...
Does Emsculpt tighten skin? Does it help with cellulite?
EmSculpt Benefits
Jan 31, 2019
Jan 31, 2019
Thank you for your question. EmSculpt is a great option for anyone who wants to build muscle and define their abdomen or buttocks. The EmSculpt would not do much skin tightening or cellulite reduction, however there are other options which can obtain those results. Exilis Ultra is made by the same manufacturer and is intended for fat reduction and skin tightening. There have been many successful results with this device and it is a great option for skin tightening and cellulite...
