EMSCULPT: Bodybuilding with Electromagnetic Waves
A 30-minute session of this cutting-edge technology is equivalent to 30,000 squats or crunches.
Do you want to really tone your body, effortlessly, painlessly, and in record time? Body Sculpting EmSculpt electromagnetic wave technology is a powerful bodybuilding solution that is revolutionizing the field of body contouring.
This latest generation of technology, entirely non-invasive, and reserved for medical use, triggers intense muscle contractions that are impossible to achieve alone and offers a visible gain in muscle mass at the same time as a loss of fat mass.
Your buttocks are plump, your thighs are streamlined, and your abdominal muscles are shaped and toned like never before, without effort or pain.
Who is this body shaping technology for?
This technology is completely non-invasive, painless and safe, so it really is for everyone, male or female.
It is an ideal solution to gain strength and strengthen the muscles of the body, particularly the buttocks, thighs and abdominal muscles, but also the arms.
More specifically, it can be a solution for:
Women with a very distended abdominal strap, following a pregnancy (diastasis)
For people who have had an accident and need to recover their muscle strength and volume quickly and safely
High level athletes who want to maintain their body in order to improve their performance.
How does this technology work?
The handpieces of the device send a high-density focused electromagnetic energy similar to that delivered by MRI, directly to the muscles to be treated. This is why the technology is for medical use only. By penetrating through the skin in a completely painless way, they trigger a so-called “supra maximal” contraction, i.e. a very intense and permanent muscle contraction.
This contraction is impossible to achieve alone or with an abdominal belt, or any other classic electro-stimulation product, especially because a forced contraction is independent of brain function.
In fact, in the space of a 30-minute session, this is the equivalent of no less than 20,000 to 30,000 muscle contractions (squats or crunches). The muscles, working at 100% of their capacity, therefore need a lot of energy and will then draw on the underlying fat reserves, which means that you lose fat mass very quickly while gaining muscle mass.
Can I sculpt my whole body with high-intensity Electrostimulation?
You can really tone, firm and lift all key areas of your body with EmSculpt technology:
The buttocks (ideal for a plump, cellulite-free buttock)
Abdominals (upper and lower abdomen)
Thighs
Arms, calves
Does it hurt?
You might think that such a muscle contraction would be painful, but it is not. The EmSculpt intense muscle training treatment with electromagnetic waves is completely painless. You don’t feel the electric current and you can continue to talk during the session.
The after-effects are those of a good sports session: you feel good, you feel muscular fatigue and you may experience some aches and pains the next day or the day after that. The only recommendation: keep sufficiently hydrated after the session and in the days that follow!
Is it really safe for my health?
About fifteen studies have been conducted in different countries on the use of electromagnetic waves to strengthen the body. MRI, ultrasound, scanner and analysis of living tissue: all praise the effectiveness and prove the safety of the treatment. Since it is not direct electrical energy, there is no risk of burning and no surrounding tissue is damaged.
How does an intensive weight training session at Dr.JD’s clinic work?
During the consultation and at the beginning of the session, an information sheet will be given to you. An estimate and an informed consent will be signed.
No special preparation is required for an EmSculpt session. Simply lie down comfortably and Dr.JD will set up the EmSculpt applicators. The device is then precisely adjusted according to a fully personalized training plan
We start slowly, in order to get you used to the sensation but also to get the muscle used to it, then we will increase the intensity until we reach 100% of muscle work. The sensation can be a little surprising at first: just breathe well and relax.
The session only lasts 30 minutes, so you can schedule a weight training session between noon and midday, without any problem.
What is the protocol? The results?
You need to do at least 4 to 6 sessions, once or twice a week. This means that in a maximum of 6 weeks, you will have completed your bodybuilding programme to sculpt your body: reshaped, rounded and lifted buttocks, shaped abdominal muscles, thinner and more toned thighs.
The results are quickly visible and progressive: about 1 month after the last session. You can gain up to 16% of muscle mass and lose up to 20% of fat mass with this treatment.
In order to maintain your new silhouette and continue to remodel your body without effort, one or two maintenance session(s) per year will be recommended by Doctor JD, depending on your needs and results.
Do fitness belts have the same results?
EmSculpt’s electromagnetic wave technology is a unique technology that has no equivalent in the fitness industry. It is a medical device with the same technology used in medical MRI imaging. Traditional electrostimulation devices for use at home or at the physiotherapist’s are not comparable in terms of power, intensity and therefore muscle mass and fat loss results are not the same.
Is it effective against cellulite?
Of course! As cellulite is partly made up of fat cells, this innovative technology helps to smooth out the dimples. The development of the muscle shapes the area, and thus tightens the skin, and helps to give it a more toned appearance.
A custom treatment plan can be proposed by Dr. JD by combining several technologies to shape your figure and fight against cellulite
Can I do EMSCULPT sessions if I have a pacemaker?
No, and this is the only contraindication. Wearing a pacemaker or any metal implant is not compatible with high intensity electrostimulation sessions.
In all cases, the medical consultation will allow Doctor JD to rule out any possible contraindication to the treatment and to recommend the best solutions for your case.
Course of treatment
It is important to note that for most treatments, the final results are visible around 2 weeks post-procedure. Meaning, we encourage you to remain patient during this time before making a final judgment.
That being said, each body is unique and, therefore, the biological PH balance and metabolic rate vary between clients. Results cannot be compared, predicted, or guaranteed. Should you need any follow-up appointments or have questions, please contact Dr.JD’s assistant at info@drjd.co.uk.

Emsculpt has been clinically tested for safety and efficacy through seven independent US-based clinical studies. In fact, on average, the following results were achieved in clinical studies on healthy patients:
• 19% reduction of fat
• 4 cm (~1.5 inches) loss in waistline circumference
• 16% increase in muscle mass
• 11% reduction in abdominal muscle separation (called diastasis recti)
• 5x increase in fat metabolism (apoptotic index increased from 19% to 92% after treatment)
• 80% patients with visible lifting effect of buttocks
• 96% patient satisfaction
-
EMSCULPT is based on high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy. A single EMSCULPT session causes thousands of powerful muscle contractions which are extremely important in improving the tone and strength of your muscles.
These powerful induced muscle contractions not achievable through voluntary contractions. The muscle tissue is forced to adapt to such extreme conditions. It responds with a deep remodeling of its inner structure that results in muscle building and sculpting your body
-
Each Emsculpt treatment lasts 30 minutes. Typically, 4-6 treatments spread out over a couple of weeks are recommended to achieve optimal results. Patients do not need to do anything to prepare for treatments ahead of time and they can return to their normal activities immediately afterward. This treatment can even be done over a lunch break to fit into busy work schedules. Maintaining a healthy diet, staying hydrated, and including protein in your diet can be essential while you are burning fat and increasing muscle mass.
During treatment sessions, the Emsculpt device paddles are placed on top of the muscle group being targeted and secured with a band that wraps around the body. Patients do not need to completely disrobe. For treatments targeting the buttocks and calves, patients may lie face down on a table and for treatments targeting the thighs, abdomen, biceps, or triceps they may lie face up.
The Emsculpt device stimulates three phases of contractions that gradually increase in intensity based on what the patient can comfortably tolerate. Many patients enjoy listening to music, playing games on their phone, or reading a book during sessions. Tingling sensations similar to a foot falling asleep are normal during treatments and should pass quickly.
-
You may begin to feel the results immediately after Emsculpt. These will be small changes, like posture improvements of decreased fatigue during exercise. Most patients are noticing visible results around three months post-treatment, and maintain results with a maintenance plan. Clinical studies have shown that results can continue to improve for up to six months.

Emsculpt and Coolsculpting both help patients eliminate fat through a series of non-invasive treatments. However, there are some major differences between the two. Firstly, Coolsculpting does not use HIFEM® technology as Emsculpt does, but rather works through a process called cryolipolysis. Coolsculpting is an FDA-approved treatment where a section of fat is placed between two cooling panels. Subdermal fat cells reach a freezing temperature which causes them to die and eventually be excreted naturally.
While both treatments help eliminate fat, only Emsculpt helps strengthen muscles, too. Emsculpt treatments are also faster, lasting roughly 30 minutes, while CoolSculpting treatments can take up to an hour. Coolsculpting patients can begin to see noticeable results starting at four weeks after the initial treatment. Emsculpt, on the other hand, typically requires four sessions, but patients often begin to see results immediately after their first treatment. Optimal results are typically seen at 12 weeks after the last Emsculpt treatment.
