Arm muscle building is hard. No matter how many arm workouts you do or how well balanced your diet is, sometimes, we need some help getting over the hump and that’s where Emsculpt comes in.
One of the ways people are gaining that extra muscle mass and are toning their muscles in a short amount of time is an Emsculpt arms procedure. If you’re looking to tone your arm muscles and lose a bit of fat in the process, you may want to consider an Emsculpt arms treatment.
You can get Emsculpt done on many different body areas, but today, we’re just focusing on how it works on the arms.
In this Emsculpt review, we’ll be looking at how Emsculpt treatment can help build muscle mass and eliminate fat in your arm, whether or not it works, and what you can expect before going in for your first Emsculpt arms treatment.
Emsculpt is an innovative type of treatment that uses a new device in the beauty industry. Emsculpt is special because it’s known as the only non-invasive treatment that can burn fat cells and help you build muscles at the same time.
The Emsculpt machine is like a mini MRI, as described by one of the doctors to first receive the device. It uses electromagnetic pulses to induce supramaximal muscle contractions in specific areas of the body. This is similar to how exercise helps when building muscle, but it works to a much more intense degree.
Emsculpt uses HIFEM, or high-intensity focused electromagnetic technology, to induce muscle contractions. With the machine, candidates can receive the benefits of doing a bunch of exercises on a certain muscle all while lying down.
Emsculpt signals the fat cells in your body to break down, which turns them into fatty acids. All of these signals cause more fat to malfunction and die, which builds muscle.
While these are usually used by people on their ab muscles, it applies to just about any muscle group.
Most people equate Emsculpt with doing 20,000 crunches in the span of 30 minutes. This non-invasive procedure doesn’t hurt, is fast, and the technology is FDA-cleared.
So, if you’re almost at your arm fitness goals but have some trouble getting over the hump even with regular exercise, you can get an Emsculpt arms treatment instead to help you reach your goals much faster.
The Emsculpt arm procedure is generally painless. So, if you’re nervous about feeling pain or discomfort during the treatment, you don’t have to worry about that at all with this procedure. Emsculpt works through electromagnetic pulses, which the technician administers on certain muscle areas (in this case, the arms) to induce hyper contraction.
At the start of your first emsculpt arm treatment, our manhattan laser spa technicians will start on a lower power before slowly ramping up. The device straps on to you, so your technician will put it on the muscle you want to be treated, whether it’s your abs, biceps, or even your glutes.
Many treatments start at lower settings before the power gets raised up. This is because if the magnetic waves hit you at full power right away, you could risk getting a hernia. So, for safety reasons, we only recommend getting Emsculpt arms treatments from trained technicians and only go to board-certified medical spas.
When getting Emsculpt treatments in your arms or anywhere on your body, you will feel the contractions. While the procedures don’t feel painful at all, they do offer a strange feeling in the area. This might feel uncomfortable during your first treatment, but during the subsequent treatments, you will eventually get used to it.
After the contractions, the machine will then lightly tap on the muscle to break up the lactic acid in the area. Emsculpt results are seen and felt almost instantly. With every contraction, you feel a lift, which is similar to how it might feel during a workout.
Additionally, treatment sessions only last a couple of minutes. That means you won’t have to stay in the spa or with the technician for too long. There isn’t any downtime for Emsculpt results either. So, not only will you get visible results very fast, you can go back to your regular activities right after treatment.
You don’t have to wait until your final treatment to see results. However, to get the most muscle tone and fat loss, you may have to wait a couple of weeks for the full results to show themselves.
With that said, there will be a change right after treatment. However, as time passes, you might notice the muscles in that area improve.
A whole Emsculpt cycle will usually take up to four treatments. These treatments are spaced out throughout a few weeks to allow the body and muscle cells to recover after each session.
So, now it’s time to get down to the most important question: does Emsculpt for the arms work?
Well, that largely depends on what your goals are. If you’re already living a relatively healthy lifestyle and are already close to your body goals, then you might find Emsculpt useful. Emsculpt isn’t intended for people who are looking to start their fitness journey; instead, it’s for people who are well into the journey already.
Additionally, the treatment has to be administered properly. If you don’t go to a reliable medical spa with the right equipment, they may not be able to deliver your treatments properly. On top of that, you need to make sure the treatments are spaced properly.
Proper spacing between Emsculpt sessions, whether you’re getting your first session or you’re going in for maintenance treatments, ensures that the muscles get to recover after treatments. If not, you may not get the results that you’re looking for, which can end up being a costly experience.
For the right people, Emsculpt works. And this isn’t just anecdotal evidence. There have been studies that showed that Emsculpt can show an increase in muscle mass by up to 16% on the targeted area. On top of that, the numbers show that when applied to the waistline, Emsculpt showed up to a 19% reduction.
Keep in mind that the visible results of your original Emsculpt treatment won’t be as intense as the physical differences. As mentioned earlier, Emsculpt is designed for people looking to fine-tune their body, not transform it.
However, many patients report that Emsculpt’s supramaximal contractions make a huge difference in terms of their physical performance. Patients report that after their final session of Emsculpt, they could perform physically demanding workouts and exercise with greater ease.
Additionally, depending on the area, the procedure can also potentially aid in flexibility, which could be a massive help if you’re struggling with bicep curls and other forms of exercise.
Emsculpt arms can cost you differently depending on the area you want to treat, the technician, and your location. However, a typical Emsculpt arms procedure can cost between $700-$1000 per session. Remember, you need to go in for four treatments before seeing clear visible results.
On top of the initial four sessions, you may want to go in for complimentary Emsculpt arms treatments, which will cost you extra.
To provide you with an honest review, we need to give an honest opinion. And in our view, if you’re the right person who really wants to get rid of extra subcutaneous fat in a short time and also increase muscle strength and mass, then Emsculpt is an excellent investment.
However, if you’re starting your fitness journey, and have just begun a new well-balanced diet, then Emsculpt may not be for you.
And like any cosmetic treatment, you need to go in with realistic expectations. That way, you won’t get unnecessarily let down.
To learn if you’re the right candidate for Emsculpt arm treatments, it’s best to go to come in for a free consultation. It’s always best to have a professional check out your condition and determine if you’re an ideal candidate for a certain procedure. That way, the technician can explain all the details of the treatment, what you should expect, and any potential risks that may arise.
With that said, the ideal candidate for Emsculpt arms is a person already in good shape. To achieve the best results, you can’t have too much fat, to begin with. But again, make sure to always consult us at Manhattan Laser Spa to get a complete picture of the treatment and whether it’s a good option for you.
If you’re looking to burn fat directly, you might be better off getting CoolSculpting or other procedures instead.
Emsculpt for the arms is effective. Emsculpt can treat certain areas of your body. And if you’re looking to reduce fat in your arms and also build some muscle, it could just be the right treatment for you.
However, for Emsculpt to work and be worth the investment, you need to be a good candidate and come in with realistic expectations.
