EMSCULPT in Santa Monica

Is Emsculpt safe?

Emsculpt is an FDA-approved body sculpting treatment, offering a solution to help you build muscle in different areas of the body. At Younique Surgery Center and Med Spa, you can have complete confidence in the quality and effectiveness of all our treatments, including Emsculpt in Santa Monica.

How does Emsculpt help me also burn fat?

When supported by a healthy diet and exercise routine, Emsculpt can aid in the fat burning process in much the same way that a strenuous workout does. With increased muscle mass, your resting metabolic rate also increases, leading to greater calorie burning in the long term.

What should I expect from Emsculpt?

When you are in your consultation, your Younique provider will explain everything you need to know about Emsculpt in Santa Monica. This is the best time for you to ask questions and get answers. After you and your provider discuss which areas you would like to treat, the process can begin.

Normally, we will ask you to lie down on the examination bed while facing upward. This allows your provider to place the Emsculpt device on the chosen treatment area, which will deliver the electromagnetic energy directly into your muscles once the treatment begins. Although this process is completely painless, you will feel the effects as your muscles contract and relax involuntarily. It might be a strange sensation, but you should be able to comfortably read a book or magazine throughout your session.

Emsculpt can leave the treated area feeling sore, but this will greatly depend on your current lifestyle. If your muscles aren’t accustomed to being exercised, they might be more tender after treatment than those being used more frequently. Regardless, you should not need to take any downtime following your sessions, and you can get back to your everyday routine easily.

Am I a good candidate?

If you’re considering Emsculpt in Santa Monica, it’s important to know that this treatment supports active men and women who have had trouble building muscle or burning fat—even with years of proper dieting and consistent physical activity. Emsculpt is not a weight loss procedure, so it’s most effective for patients who are at or close to their goal weight.

Patients who are menstruating may want to schedule their sessions at another time, as treatment can aggravate menstrual cramps. Also, patients who have conditions such as epilepsy or hemorrhagic disorders should not participate in Emsculpt treatments to avoid complications.

There may be other contraindications that apply to your situation. During your consultation, we will review your complete medical history to assess whether Emsculpt is a suitable option for you. From there, we will customize your treatment plan based on this conversation, using our expertise to determine the best approach for your needs and goals.
