Does Emsculpt build muscle better than electric muscle stimulation from a machine?
RealSelf actual patient comment:
I am considering Emculpt to build muscle and reduce fat but I am skeptical about the muscle build part. Electrical muscle stimulation machines have mixed reviews. Is the science behind the muscle building from Emsculpt different than electrical muscle stimulation?
A.Great question. Emsculpt has been studied in seven independent centers that have shown that there is a16% increase in muscle mass and surprisingly a 19% decrease in superficial abdominal fat. The technology is one of a kind, far superior to any previous electrical stimulation (although a review of the internet will reveal old film footage of Bruce Lee and Muhammed Ali connected to electrical machines for muscle stimulation), and Emsculpt is the first and only FDA approved device for building muscle. Choose your treating physician most carefully. Good luck and be well.
