EMSCULPT provides a multifaceted approach to improving the appearance and strength of the abdomen and core muscles. Patients average a 19.2% reduction of abdominal fat thickness and a 1.2-inch reduction of waist circumference when evaluated 3-months post treatment. EMSCULPT’s HIFEM® technology engages muscles that cannot be voluntarily engaged during exercising. One 30-minute abdominal treatment is the equivalent of 20,000 crunches. Many patients report a reduction of back pain as a result of strengthening the core abdominal muscles.
EMSCULPT is the only non-invasive treatment that has been shown to reduce diastasis recti in women. Diastasis recti is the separation of the rectus abdominis (or the “six-pack” muscle). This occurs when the two large vertical banks of muscle that meet in the center of your abdomen pull apart. The most common cause of diastasis recti is pregnancy, especially with larger babies or with multiple pregnancies close together. Being pregnant with multiple babies is also more likely to cause this abdominal separation. Regular exercise cannot bring these muscles back together once separation has occurred. Many women with severe diastasis recti resort to expensive, invasive surgery to correct this problem. EMSCULPT has been shown to average a 11% reduction in diastasis recti.
