What is EMSCULPT?
As a top-requested FDA-cleared body sculpting platform, EMSCULPT has helped countless men and women achieve the body of their dreams. No incisions, no surgery, and no downtime needed. EMSCULPT is designed to be used as a finishing service: it’s a treatment you’d go through when you’re relatively close to your goal weight and already follow a balanced diet and exercise regimen.
How does EMSCULPT work? The science is based on building muscle mass by sending out high-intensity electromagnetic energy. EMSCULPT results in up to 20,000 muscle contractions in roughly half an hour. This effect forces new muscle fibers to form, while simultaneously sending out chemicals involved in the breakdown of fat.
The end result? Lasting fat loss and an increase in muscle mass. But you need to know that you can still gain weight after your EMSCULPT treatment is complete if you’re not careful.
What happens if you gain weight after EMSCULPT?
Bulges return
Due to poor diet, periods of stress, pregnancy, and even hormonal fluctuations, among other reasons, you can gain weight after EMSCULPT. When this occurs, you may start noticing that those unsightly bulges you once had — like the dreaded muffin top — start to return.
Putting on even a few extra pounds after EMSCULPT can cause fatty pockets to develop in new areas. You can find that your perfectly balanced physique now seems disproportionate. It’s even possible for you to notice new lumps or cellulite.
Clothes fit tighter
EMSCULPT body contouring treatments from JEM Medspa are well-known for helping you slip back into those smaller jeans you haven’t worn in years. You can lose inches and find that your once snug-fitting clothes, now feel loose and baggy.
However, if you gain weight after EMSCULPT, you may notice that your clothes feel tighter. This effect may be the first sign of weight gain if you don’t weigh yourself regularly.
Stretch marks form
If you gain weight quickly after EMSCULPT or gain a lot of weight, you could see new stretch marks. It’s also possible for the stretch marks that became less noticeable after EMSCULPT now appear to be much more prominent. Stretch marks develop as your skin has to expand quickly, which is common when you gain weight.
