EMSCULPT is an innovative, non-invasive treatment designed to help you build muscle and sculpt your body without surgery or downtime. If you’re considering your first session, it’s important to know how to prepare and what to expect to ensure you get the most out of your treatment. At Ascent Laser Aesthetics, we are dedicated to providing you with the best possible experience. Here’s what you need to know before your first EMSCULPT session.
What is EMSCULPT?
EMSCULPT is a revolutionary body contouring treatment that uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to induce powerful muscle contractions. These contractions help build muscle and burn fat, resulting in a more toned and sculpted appearance. EMSCULPT is FDA-cleared for the abdomen, buttocks, arms, and legs, making it a versatile option for various body areas.
Before Your EMSCULPT Session
- Consultation
Before your first EMSCULPT session, you will have a consultation with one of our specialists at Ascent Laser Aesthetics. This is an opportunity to discuss your goals, medical history, and any concerns you may have. Our team will create a customized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
- Hydrate
Staying hydrated is essential for optimal results. Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your session. Proper hydration helps your muscles respond better to the treatment and aids in the elimination of fat cells.
- Avoid Heavy Meals
Try to avoid heavy meals at least two hours before your session. A lighter meal or snack is recommended to ensure comfort during the treatment.
- Dress Comfortably
Wear loose, comfortable clothing to your appointment. You may be asked to expose the area being treated, so easy-to-remove clothing is ideal. Athletic wear is a great option.
What to Expect During Your EMSCULPT Session
- Treatment Duration
Each EMSCULPT session lasts about 30 minutes per treatment area. You can relax during the session, as the device works to stimulate your muscles.
- Sensation
During the treatment, you will feel intense muscle contractions, similar to a strenuous workout. While the sensation can be intense, it is not painful. Most patients find it tolerable and even enjoyable.
- Immediate Results
Some patients notice an improvement in muscle tone and fat reduction immediately after the session. However, the best results typically appear after a series of treatments, spaced a few days apart.
After Your EMSCULPT Session
- Post-Treatment Care
There is no downtime after an EMSCULPT session. You can return to your regular activities immediately. You might experience mild muscle soreness, similar to what you would feel after an intense workout.
- Follow-Up Sessions
For optimal results, a series of 4-6 sessions is recommended. Your specialist at Ascent Laser Aesthetics will provide a personalized treatment plan based on your goals.

Preparing for your first EMSCULPT session is simple and straightforward. By following these tips, you can ensure a smooth and effective experience.
