RealSelf actual patient comment:

What happens if you only do one emsculpt treatment, or just less than the recommended minimum number, or weeks/months inbetween? Does the procedure need to be done multiple times in a short timeframe to be effective?
A.There have not been any studies on the effect of just one Emsculpt treatment. For those who only have one treatment I believe that there should be some benefit from stimulating your muscles to contract 20,000 times in 30 minutes. It is like they say about treating a cold with chicken soup, “It couldn’t hurt!” Some have found good Emsculpt results with one treatment per week.The studies and treatment protocol for Emsculpt effectiveness are based on four 30-minute Emsculpt sessions over a two week period. Good luck and be well.
