Emsculpt for Arms and Thighs Now Possible

Emsculpt for arms and thighs is now an option for patients with the introduction of a smaller applicator. This major advancement in body shaping technology was announced during the 39th Annual Conference of the American Society for Laser Medicine & Surgery (ASLMS). Originally only approved for muscle stimulation and fat reduction of fat in the abdomen and buttock area, Emsculpt’s new, smaller applicator creates new treatment areas that can now be contoured by HIFEM energy.

Emsculpt for Arms and Thighs: How Does it Work?

The Emsculpt process uses Highly Focused Electro Magnetic (HIFEM) energy to create supramaximal contractions, which are ultra-powerful contractions, in a specific muscle area. It is not possible to create supramaximal contractions using manual methods on one’s own. Just one Emsculpt treatment equates to 20,000 squats or 20,000 crunches. This ultimately results in muscle growth, toning, and strengthening.

In addition to stimulating muscle growth, Emsculpt’s HIFEM energy causes lipolysis by destroying fat cells. These destroyed cells are then collected naturally and leave the body as waste.

Not Just For Abs and Buttocks: Emsculpt for Arms

Emsculpt was originally just approved by the FDA to treat the abdomen and buttock areas. Many people struggle with a common persistent problem with the abdomen: tummy fat. Emsculpt can help reduce resistant fat deposits on the stomach and help build abdomen muscles. This means patients can completely transform their midsection rather than just shrinking it. The sculpting effects of HIFEM energy can also be used to shape and firm the buttocks as a safe, non-surgery alternative to a butt lift.

FDA Approves Emsculpt for Arms and Thighs

A statement from Emsculpt manufacturer BTL’s Vice President of US Marketing said, “BTL is always researching new innovations and raising the bar in aesthetics in order to improve patient satisfaction and outcomes. The addition of a small applicator…is now cleared [by the FDA] for strengthening, firming and toning of arms and thighs.”

In Haute Beauty, plastic surgeon Dr. Stanley Paulous described the new applicator as “great news, as patients now have the option to enhance the areas that are most important to them.” This is especially true for the thousands of people who wish to sculpt their arms with defined triceps and biceps and those who want to lift, tone, and sculpt the thighs.

The small applicator is FDA-approved for the treatment of upper arms and thighs and there are currently tests in progress for the treatment of the calves and oblique area.
