EMSCULPT® Treatment in Vancouver
What Is EMSCULPT®?
EMSCULPT® is a groundbreaking, non-invasive treatment designed to build muscle and reduce fat. It’s the first and only procedure of its kind that’s FDA-cleared for sculpting the body by simultaneously burning fat and toning muscles. EMSCULPT® was the pioneering device that introduced the groundbreaking HIFEM technology for muscle sculpting.
If you want to define your ab muscles and glute profile more, or tone your arms and inner or outer thighs, EMSCULPT® will help you to achieve your predetermined and desired goals faster, more efficiently, and effectively than traditional workouts alone.
How Does EMSCULPT® Work?
EMSCULPT® leverages cutting-edge, high-intensity focused electromagnetic technology to create intense, involuntary muscle contractions in targeted areas of the body. But what does this mean for you?
Imagine doing 20,000 sit-ups or squats in just 30 minutes—that’s the level of muscle engagement EMSCULPT® delivers. These contractions are far more intense than what you could achieve through regular exercise, leading to deep remodelling of your muscle fibres. The result? Noticeable muscle building and muscle toning that enhances your physique and boosts your strength.
But EMSCULPT® doesn’t stop at just building muscle. During these intense contractions, your body naturally responds by burning surrounding fat cells for energy, leading to effective fat reduction in stubborn areas. This dual-action treatment not only helps you build muscle but also sculpts and contours your body by targeting those last pockets of subcutaneous fat that are resistant to diet and exercise.
What Areas Does EMSCULPT® Improve?
EMSCULPT® does wonders for the toning of muscles in core parts of the body that are, at times, quite challenging to improve with just diet and exercise. It is most effective for the following areas:
- Abdomen: Firm up abdominal muscles to get a more defined stomach area. With EMSCULPT®, you'll not only get better muscle definition but also rid your body of subcutaneous fat in this area, rendering a slimmer yet more defined contour.
- Butt: EMSCULPT® lifts and firms the buttocks by engaging the muscles for a fuller, lifted appearance without invasive procedures.
- Upper Arms: Strengthen and tone the muscles in your arms, reducing the appearance of flabbiness and enhancing overall muscle definition.
- Thighs: Reveal long, lean thighs through fat reduction, accumulated and enhanced with lean muscle for the legs you've always wanted.
How Much Does an EMSCULPT® Treatment Cost?
The cost of your EMSCULPT® treatment depends entirely on the number of treatment sessions you need, the severity of your concerns, and the size of the area you are having treated. Contact the Skin Matters team today to book a consultation and learn more about pricing.
How Often Do I Need an EMSCULPT® Treatment?
Patients often require a minimum of four to six EMSCULPT® treatments and can attend further appointments and maintenance sessions to improve or maintain their results.

How Is EMSCULPT® Applied?
The EMSCULPT® procedure is straightforward, non-invasive, and designed to fit seamlessly into your busy schedule. On the day of your treatment, you’ll be comfortably positioned, and the EMSCULPT® device will be applied to the targeted area using a specialized pad. This pad is designed to deliver high-intensity electromagnetic energy precisely where it’s needed, ensuring maximum effectiveness.
As the device starts working, you’ll feel intense but painless muscle contractions in the treatment area. These contractions are much stronger than what you can achieve through exercise alone and are essential for building muscle and reducing fat cells. The sensation is similar to a deep workout; while it’s intense, it’s also completely tolerable. Each session lasts about 30 minutes, during which the device will simulate thousands of muscle contractions.
Benefits of EMSCULPT®
Some of the benefits of receiving an EMSCULPT® treatment include:
- Efficiency. One treatment can target the desired areas, specifically the abdomen and buttocks, arms, and thighs.
- No pain, just gain. EMSCULPT® treatments are painless, non-invasive, and require no downtime - all you’ll feel is the burn of doing (stimulated) crunches!
- A safe body contouring treatment. The lack of invasiveness means EMSCULPT®is a safe option with few side effects.
- Permanent with regular maintenance sessions. Your results are long-lasting and can be kept that way with attendance of maintenance sessions.
Risks and Side Effects of EMSCULPT®
It is expected that there may be minor tenderness or redness in the area immediately post-treatment. However, these effects are temporary and you can return your day as planned.

How to Prepare for an EMSCULPT® Treatment
To prepare for your EMSCULPT® treatment, you should drink plenty of water, avoid eating two hours beforehand, and avoid caffeine and alcohol a day before. The treatment area should be completely clean with no lotion or sunscreen on it, and you should shave the area that is being treated as well.
All preparation and aftercare instructions will be discussed during your consultation with the Skin Matters team so you can be best prepared for your treatment and enjoy optimal results.
Aftercare, Recovery and Maintenance for EMSCULPT® Treatment
After your EMSCULPT® treatment, you should:
- Massage the treatment area if it is sore.
- Stay active to help your body heal faster and burn fat. This will also accelerate and enhance your results.
- Attend additional treatments or maintenance appointments to keep optimal results.
- Be patient when waiting to see your results!
How Does EMSCULPT® Compare to Other Body Contouring Treatments?
When it comes to body contouring, EMSCULPT® offers unique advantages that set it apart from other treatments like Exion® RF Boday, and Morpheus8. Here’s how it compares:
EMSCULPT® vs. Exion® RF Body
- Technology: Exion RF combines AI-controlled temperature regulation with monopolar radiofrequency energy. It penetrates into the dermis and superficial fat layers to stimulate collagen regeneration and reduce localized fat, making it suitable for both facial and body treatments. In contrast, EMSCULPT® uses High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy to induce powerful muscle contractions deep within the muscles, targeting muscle groups directly to build muscle and burn fat simultaneously.
- Effectiveness: Exion RF excels in skin tightening and superficial fat reduction, making it ideal for sculpting delicate areas such as the arms, abdominal edges, and above the knees. EMSCULPT®, on the other hand, focuses on shaping core muscle groups by increasing muscle mass and reducing deep fat layers, creating a more contoured and firm physique.
- Best For: Exion RF is best for individuals seeking to improve skin laxity with mild fat reduction, particularly those looking for precise body contouring. EMSCULPT® is ideal for those aiming to strengthen core muscles and enhance overall body definition and firmness, making it a great complement to fitness routines or post-procedure maintenance.
EMSCULPT® vs. Morpheus8
- Technology: Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to improve skin texture and tighten loose skin. While it’s excellent for skin resurfacing, it doesn’t address muscle building or fat reduction like EMSCULPT®.
- Effectiveness: Morpheus8 is effective for treating skin concerns, such as wrinkles and sagging, but it doesn’t enhance muscle tone or reduce subcutaneous fat. EMSCULPT® excels in muscle building and fat reduction, providing a more sculpted and toned physique.
- Best For: Morpheus8 is best for those looking to improve skin texture and elasticity, particularly on the face and neck. EMSCULPT® is ideal for individuals aiming to build muscle and reduce fat in larger areas of the body, such as the abdomen, buttocks, arms, and thighs.
