Emsculpt® muscle toning and lifting at LipoTherapeia

Emsculpt treatments are proven to help build muscle strength and tone and can be used either to add to your gym exercises (it works differently to normal resistance training and therefore adds to it) or as a stand-alone muscle toning treatment for those who cannot exercise or those who do not get fast enough results with exercise alone. Emsculpt can be combined with LipoTherapeia® Plus for overall toning and lifting: LipoTherapeia Plus tightens and lifts the skin and reduces cellulite while Emsculpt tones and lifts the muscles under the skin for maximum tightening / lifting / toning results. I personally use Emsculpt for both muscle rehabilitation and muscle toning and I love combining it with high-power LED red/infrared light therapy, which is proven to maximise results and minimise muscle discomfort.

Advanced muscle building, toning and lifting treatments with Emsculpt®, in the heart of London (Marylebone, W1)

Emsculpt treatment in Marylebone, London at LipoTherapeia

LipoTherapeia offers BTL’s Emsculpt, the original - and still the best - technology in the world for passive muscle building, toning and lifting. Emsculpt technology is variably referred to as:

  • High Intensity Focused ElectroMagnetic (HIFEM)

  • ElectroMagnetic Muscle Stimulation (EMMS / EMS)

Emsculpt is a pioneering, non-invasive, FDA and CE cleared treatment that uses a pulsating electromagnetic field to induce supramaximal muscle contractions, strengthening, building, toning and lifting muscles.

Most people only use a small percentage of their maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) capacity whilst performing resistance exercise.

Emsculpt allows you to perform up to a level of 150-200% of MVC, hence the term “supramaximal contractions”. With Emsculpt you passively perform 20,000 supramaximal contractions with a 30 minute session. These results are proven by multiple clinical studies.

Emsculpt HIFEM muscle toning can be applied on the following areas - and it is ideally combined with LipoTherapeia on the adjacent skin areas to additionally tone and lift the skin:

  1. Abdominals / Stomach

  2. Glutes / Buttocks

  3. Triceps / Upper arms

  4. Biceps / Upper arms

  5. Gastrocnemius / Calves

At LipoTherapeia we only use the original and best BTL Emsculpt equipment. This is superior to any Emsculpt clones or Emsculpt counterfeit machines with inferior specifications and/or manufacturing quality.

(In general, at LipoTherapeia we ONLY use top of the range equipment - never cheap low-end machines. And we definitely not use questionable / unsafe / low-spec machines bought on AliExpress, as some clinics unfortunately do.)

What can Emsculpt® muscle toning therapy do for me? How does it feel? Does it work from the first session?

Emsculpt HIFEM muscle toning and building can:

  • Add to and maximise the results of resistance exercise at the gym, for faster, more pronounced results from your gym work

  • Be used as a stand-alone muscle toning treatment for those who cannot (or do not want to) do resistance exercise or those who do not get fast / substantial results from exercise

  • Be used for rehabilitation after an accident, injury etc

According to data, the results of a course of Emsculpt include the enlargement and strengthening of existing muscle fibres (hypertrophy) and the building of new muscle fibres (hyperplasia).

This means larger, more toned, more lifted muscles, which results in better firmness and definition on the arms, stomach, butt and calves.

The feeling your get during an Emsculpt treatment is that of very strong muscle contractions on the muscles applied. However, it should never be painful or otherwise unpleasant - treatment intensity should always be always suited to each person’s tolerance.

Every few minutes relaxing contractions are introduced to provide a break and eliminate any lactic acid buildup via the lymphatic circulation.

Overall, the treatment should challenge the muscle where it is applied but generally it should be relaxing, rewarding, pain-free experience.

At the end of the session you will feel your muscles more toned and “exercised” but without the pain that gym work causes, especially in the next 2-3 days.

A course of 6-12 sessions taken once or twice a a week (with a minimum of 1-day gap) is ideally recommended for best, longer-lasting results.

(At LipoTherapeia we are honest and do not mislead people that “4 sessions is all that’s needed for everyone”. The truth is that four sessions are typically the minimum, with 6-12 sessions being more realistic. In fact, some perfectionist clients go on to have up to 20-24 sessions for maximum results. Therefore, to facilitate such realistic number of sessions we keep our prices moderate and provide 17% discount for courses of 6x sessions (5 +1 extra free) and 25% discount for courses of 12x sessions (9 +3 extra free)).

How does HIFEM / Emsculpt® treatment work for muscle building/toning? How does it differ from resistance training? Why do I need it if I go to the gym?

Emsculpt is complementary to gym work and helps maximise the results of resistance training because it works differently to the way normal resistance exercise works:

  • It stimulates supramaximal contractions, 100-200% MVC, as opposed to 70–85% for unfit / sedentary / untrained people; 90% for moderately fit people; and 95-100% for very fit / highly trained people

  • It stimulates 20,000 such contractions in 30 minutes - far more than anyone can achieve even in a day

  • It stimulates only concentric contractions, thereby avoiding delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), which is caused by eccentric contractions

  • In addition to hypertrophy*, it stimulates the creation of new muscle fibres (hyperplasia*) which normally does not occur with exercise

  • Unlike exercise which recruits muscle fibres sequentially (i.e. smaller, slow-twitch, Type I fibres first, progressing to larger, fast-twitch, Type II fibres as force demand increases), Emsculpt stimulates near-100% recruitment of both Types I and II fibres at the same time

Of course, Emsculpt does not provide cardiovascular benefits or neuromuscular coordination, so a mix of Emsculpt and real gym work is ideal.

But, due to all the above reasons, Emsculpt can benefit and add to the work of even the fittest person, hence its widespread adoption by athletes, in addition to average fitness people.

Furthermore, some people just can’t exercise, due to accident, overuse injury or other health issues, and in those cases Emsculpt is the only way to strengthen or rehabilitate those groups of muscles.

Finally, a small minority of people just don’t like resistance training and in those cases Emsculpt can help build and tone muscles which otherwise would have become weak, loose and saggy.

Of course, Emsculpt is not a miracle treatment and should not fully replace normal resistance exercise but it can contribute to a better physique; help with injury rehabilitation; and assist with muscle fitness on people who cannot (or do not want) to perform resistance exercise.

(* Histologically, in an in-vivo porcine model, HIFEM led to a 20.56% increase in muscle mass density, 12.15% hypertrophy in individual fibre size, and an 8% trend toward higher fibre density (suggesting hyperplasia). MRI studies in humans show 15.4% muscle thickness increase. No adverse events like rhabdomyolysis were reported, and effects persist up to 6 months.)

Emsculpt® muscle toning followed by high-power red/infrared LED light therapy with Dermalux®, for maximum results

Emsculpt is also excellently combined with high-power LED red/infrared light therapy, to help maximise muscle building and prevent muscle soreness.

It is now established that red and especially infrared light therapy enhances results and minimised discomfort when applied right after training on the muscles that were exercised during training.

LipoTherapeia offers you the option to have high-power LED red/infrared light therapy with Dermalux TriWave MD II, the strongest and best red/infrared light therapy treatment available today.

(BTW, all LipoTherapeia Plus treatments automatically include Dermalux red/infrared light therapy to maximise treatment results.)

Emsculpt® muscle toning combined with LipoTherapeia® Plus for Global Lifting™ (skin tightening/lifting plus muscle toning/lifting)

Emsculpt can help with lifting by toning/tightening the muscles. Tighter, more toned muscles defy gravity better and that leads to:

  • Non-surgical butt lifting (when applied on the glutes)

  • Non-surgical tummy lifting (when applied on the abs)

  • Non-surgical upper arm lifting (when applied on the triceps and/or biceps)

However, Emsculpt does not help with skin tightening, neither with cellulite - and this is where LipoTherapeia Plus comes into play.

So in addition to normal Emsculpt treatments, we offer dedicated Emsculpt + LipoTherapeia Plus combination treatments for Global Lifting™, whereby Emsculpt helps tighten and lift the muscles from the inside while high-power, deep-acting radiofrequency helps tighten and lift the skin from the outside, leading to a more pronounced, “global” toning and lifting effect.

LipoTherapeia is the only clinic in London that combines 4 advanced technologies for the ultimate non-surgical butt/tummy/arm lift treatment:

  • Deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency**: tightens and lifts skin from the outside, while Emsculpt tightens and lifts muscles from inside. Our deep tissue radiofrequency treatment, both in terms of equipment and expertise is second to none.

  • Deep-acting, high-power ultrasound cavitation: enhances the application of radiofrequency

  • Emsculpt tightens and lifts muscles from the inside, while deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency tightens and lifts skin from the outside

  • Dermalux high-power LED phototherapy: helps maximise the effects of the above three technologies

Deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency results in tighter collagen fibres and new fibre synthesis, meaning that skin can resist the force of gravity, which also results in lifting.

In addition to global butt lifting on both muscle and skin you benefit from simultaneous cellulite reduction, courtesy of the radiofrequency, ultrasound and phototherapy combination (Emsculpt exerts no effect on cellulite).

So, all in all, if both muscles and skin are flaccid and saggy it makes sense to combine Emsculpt with LipoTherapeia Plus for an overall lifting / toning result.

(** Unfortunately, the bipolar radiofrequency provided by the Emsculpt Neo version is very superficial and very weak (60 W), so we see no reason in using it. Instead we use proper, high-power, deep tissue radiofrequency (250+ W) combined with Emsculpt treatments for real results. And of course we use our advanced radiofrequency as a stand-alone skin tightening / cellulite reduction therapy.)
