It seems that the focus these days is on the backside. And who doesn’t want a perky, lifted butt? But sometimes, no matter how many squats you do at the gym, you just don’t see the results you desire. Up until now, various surgical butt lift procedures have been the main solution. However, these options involve incisions which can lead to scarring, as well as ample downtime.

The History of the Butt Lift

America’s love affair with the booty started around the early 2000s. Celebrities such as Beyoncé and Jennifer Lopez flaunted their curves, and women around the country suddenly wanted them. Surgical procedures such as buttock implants and the Brazilian Butt Lift suddenly shot up in popularity.

Doctors rushed to offer these popular procedures, sometimes without the proper training or certification. And that often led to complications such as uneven, lumpy results, infections, or even death.

While celebrities made it seems that these procedures were the main solution to our backside woes, it soon became apparent that they were associated with some very real dangers. In fact, the Brazilian Butt Lift procedure has a fairly high complication rate. And this has to do with fat. If a surgeon injects fat into the wrong place or deep into the muscle, the chance of dangerous complications is increased.

While surgical buttock procedures are still popular among some women today, many are avoiding the procedures due to their unreliable results and dangerous side effects. However, recently, a new product has hit the market that is non-surgical, safe, and can help to lift the buttocks without downtime. This new product, dubbed EMSCULPT, can also help athletic individuals achieve a toned abdomen and six-pack that they may not have been able to achieve on their own.

EMSCULPT: A Safe and Effective Alternative

You might be thinking “A completely nonsurgical product that can help me achieve the body of my dreams? No way.” However, the EMSCULPT treatment by BTL Aesthetics is FDA-cleared and approved to burn fat and build muscle mass, without incisions or stitches.

It works by utilizing high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy (HIFEM) to induce muscle contractions at a much higher intensity than you can achieve during a typical workout at the gym. Imagine doing 20,000 squats or sit-ups in one 30-minute session- those are the results that EMSCULPT can provide. When exposed to these supramaximal contractions, the muscle tissue in the targeted area is forced to adapt to such an extreme condition, remodeling its inner structure that results in muscle building and body contouring. In layman’s terms, this means that your muscles work extra hard, without you actually having to do any physical activity.

EmSculpt Treatment Overview

However, the EMSCULPT procedure may not be right for everyone. It is best for individuals who already follow a diet and exercise regimen but are not seeing the results that they wish to achieve. Ideal candidates should be in good shape with little body fat, and already follow an active lifestyle. Individuals who have large amounts of excess fat may not be the right candidates for this procedure.

What Can You Expect During an EMSCULPT Treatment?

During the EMSCULPT treatment, no anesthesia is needed, and two panels are used to deliver HIFEM energy to affect the fat and muscle tissue. Approximately 20,000 supramaximal muscle contractions will occur per session (AKA, your muscles will work overtime). During treatment, the muscles adapt to this intensity and begin to remodel. The process allows patients to receive natural looking tone and contours without a surgical procedure. One treatment session typically lasts about 30 minutes, during which patients can lay back and relax.

When Are Results Visible?

Following an EMSCULPT treatment session, fat will be reduced over the next two to four weeks, and muscles will continue to remodel, resulting in a more defined muscle tone over time. While there is no downtime needed after an EMSCULPT treatment, patients will feel a bit sore, as if they had a really intense workout.

Results will continue to improve over time as your muscles are remodeled deep within the tissue. You can see some results with just one session, but multiple treatment sessions are recommended for optimal definition, similarly to how multiple gym sessions would be needed to see changes in the body.

How Long Do Results Last?

So, EMSCULPT can give you the muscle tone you want, but how long do results last? Because fat cells in the abdomen are destroyed by increased fat metabolism with EMSCULPT, these fat cells cannot grow back. However, weight gain may cause remaining fat cells to grow, hindering results. Muscle mass gained by EMSCULPT in the abdomen or buttocks is not permanent but can last for six months or longer. To help maintain your muscle tone results and your perky booty, it is recommended to undergo periodic EMSCULPT treatments.

Patients typically require four sessions spaced two to three days apart. Your EMSCULPT specialist can go over how many treatment sessions you can expect based on your goals for results, body type, and target area. Sessions only take about 30 minutes, making them easy to fit into a busy schedule. Plus, they are virtually pain-free, so you won’t have to worry about being uncomfortable during your treatment.

Overall, EMSCULPT is a great non-surgical alternative to other surgical butt lift procedures. Now, you can achieve a lifted, perky behind and toned, sculpted abs without spending hours in the gym or undergoing invasive and painful surgery. And that sounds pretty great, considering our obsession with the backside doesn’t seem to be going away anytime soon.
