Is Emsculpt The Slimming Hack You've Been Waiting For?

"Emsculpt works by stimulating your muscles, causing them to contract rapidly," says Dr. Gross. "It builds muscle tissue like you would at the gym, but at a much faster rate — and with much less effort needed from the patient. It burns fat and tones the targeted muscles." William Atkinson, the CEO of wellness center Let Loose, puts it in concrete terms by explaining that you're basically getting the equivalent of 20,000 crunches or 20,000 squats, depending on what area you're targeting, in a single 30-minute session.

While seeing your muscles "pop" from having your body undergo the equivalent of 20,000 crunches will, as mentioned, no doubt favor those already on the thinner side, muscle strength will improve for everyone. "Lean people can achieve a six pack and a lifted booty, while those with higher body fat will gain muscle tone, but will not get that ripped look," says Dr. Neinstein who adds that patients who recently had abdominal liposuction love the treatment. "In my liposuction procedure, I bring the skin close to the muscle and with the addition of Emsculpt, the muscles will begin to appear."
