Are you looking to achieve a toned and sculpted body without undergoing surgery? At Chatham Plastic Surgery in Savannah, GA, we offer Emsculpt, a revolutionary non-invasive treatment designed to build muscle and burn fat simultaneously.
Whether you're looking to enhance your abdominals, lift your glutes, or tone your arms or legs, Emsculpt can help. Discover how this solution can transform your physique and boost your confidence with safe, fast, and effective results.
What Is Emsculpt?
Emsculpt uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to stimulate muscle contractions, which are more intense than what you can achieve through voluntary exercise. They lead to enhanced muscle building and fat reduction.
Emsculpt is the first and only non-invasive procedure that builds muscle and burns fat at the same time. This makes it a popular choice for those looking to improve their body contours.
How Does Emsculpt Work?
During an Emsculpt session, the HIFEM technology induces powerful muscle contractions in the targeted area.
Each session lasts about 30 minutes. During this period, the muscles contract thousands of times. This intense activity forces the muscle tissue to adapt, increasing muscle mass and reducing fat.
Patients often compare the sensation to an intense workout but without the physical exertion. The treatment is very comfortable. There is no need for anesthesia or recovery time.
Benefits of Emsculpt
Emsculpt offers numerous benefits, including:
- Non-invasive procedure: No needles, incisions, or anesthesia required.
- No downtime: Get back to your daily activities immediately after treatment.
- Enhanced muscle definition: Improve muscle tone and strength in the abdomen, buttocks, arms, legs, and more.
- Fat reduction: Emsculpt helps reduce stubborn fat in the treated areas.
Clinical studies have also shown that Emsculpt can increase muscle mass by up to 25% and reduce fat by up to 30% (on average) after a series of treatments. This makes it an effective solution for body contouring.
Ideal Candidates
Emsculpt works well for a wide range of individuals.
Ideal candidates are those who are already in good health but looking for muscle enhancement and to reduce stubborn fat in specific areas. It is also an excellent option for both men and women who want to improve their body contours without undergoing surgery.
Keep in mind that Emsculpt is not a weight-loss solution. Those with significant amounts of fat may need to consider other treatments. A consultation at Chatham Plastic Surgery can help determine if Emsculpt is right for you.
What to Expect During and After Treatment
During a non-surgical body sculpting session, you will lie down and relax while the Emsculpt device is applied to the targeted area. The treatment is painless, but you will feel intense muscle contractions.
Each session lasts approximately 30 minutes. Most patients require four sessions scheduled two to three days apart for optimal results.
Some patients experience mild muscle soreness afterward, similar to what you might feel after a tough workout.
Visible results are typically noticed after the second session. Full results appear a few weeks after the final treatment. To maintain the best results, you must continue a healthy lifestyle. This includes exercising regularly and eating a balanced diet.

Frequently Asked Questions
What areas of the body can Emsculpt treat?
The most common treatment areas are the abs and buttocks. Depending on the applicators available, it can also treat the arms (biceps and triceps), thighs (inner and outer), and calves.
How long do Emsculpt results last?
Results can last six months or longer, especially when supported by a healthy lifestyle and regular exercise. Because Emsculpt builds real muscle, maintaining your results depends on staying active. Many patients choose maintenance sessions every few months to preserve muscle tone and definition.
Is Emsculpt a fat-freezing treatment like CoolSculpting?
No. Emsculpt is not a fat freezing treatment. CoolSculpting uses cryolipolysis (fat freezing) to destroy fat cells. Emsculpt uses High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic technology to stimulate strong muscle contractions that build muscle and can also reduce fat. The primary goal of Emsculpt is to strengthen and tone muscles.
Is Emsculpt a good alternative to surgery?
Emsculpt can be a great non-surgical option for patients who want improved muscle tone and mild fat reduction without downtime. However, it does not replace procedures like a tummy tuck or liposuction for significant skin laxity or large amounts of excess fat. It’s best suited for individuals close to their ideal weight who want enhanced definition.
What does Emsculpt feel like?
Emsculpt feels like intense muscle contractions, like an extreme workout without moving. The contractions are much stronger than what you can achieve voluntarily. During treatment, the device cycles between strong contractions and brief relaxation phases to keep you comfortable.
Can I work out after an Emsculpt session?
Yes. You can resume exercise right away. In fact, many patients feel motivated to maintain their results with regular workouts following treatment.
How many “crunches” is one Emsculpt session equivalent to?
One 30-minute Emsculpt session is often compared to performing approximately 20,000 crunches or squats, depending on the treatment area.
Can fat come back after Emsculpt?
Emsculpt can reduce fat cells in the treated area, but remaining fat cells can enlarge with weight gain. Maintaining your weight through diet and exercise helps preserve results long term.
Will Emsculpt help with diastasis recti?
Emsculpt may improve mild to moderate diastasis recti by strengthening and tightening the abdominal muscles. Stronger core muscles can reduce separation and improve abdominal contour. A consultation is necessary to determine if you’re a good candidate.
Can Emsculpt help with postpartum core weakness?
Yes. Many postpartum patients use Emsculpt to rebuild core strength after pregnancy. Stimulating deep muscle contractions can help improve strength, stability, and abdominal tone when combined with a healthy recovery plan.
Can men get Emsculpt?
Absolutely. Emsculpt is popular among both men and women. Many men choose Emsculpt to enhance abdominal definition, strengthen core muscles, or build and lift the glutes.
Can athletes benefit from Emsculpt?
Yes. Athletes may use Emsculpt to supplement training, improve muscle endurance, enhance core strength, and support performance. It can target muscle groups that may be difficult to fully activate during traditional workouts.
What should I do to prepare for an Emsculpt appointment?
Preparation is simple. Stay hydrated, avoid applying lotions or oils to the treatment area, and remove any metal objects before your session. Be sure to inform your provider if you have implanted medical devices or metal in your body.
What should I wear to my Emsculpt session?
Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing. Depending on the treatment area, you may be asked to change into a gown or adjust clothing to allow proper placement of the applicator.
How can I maintain results?
Stay consistent with regular exercise, especially strength training; eat a healthy diet; and maintain your current weight. Many patients also schedule maintenance treatments.
