With cosmetic options becoming more available to the general population, more people are approaching cosmetic teams to improve their looks without hassle.
Of course, when one thinks of the phrases cosmetic option and fat reduction, one could very easily think of procedures such as liposuction. Used to remove stubborn fat, liposuction was once the best option to tone those problem areas without hassle, but had several disadvantages to those who undertook it.

Curious to learn more? Read on for the answers to the top 5 FAQs about Emsculpt in London.
Am I a suitable candidate for the Emsculpt treatment?
If you are in a healthy weight range and are looking to strengthen the muscles in your abdomen, buttocks, or thighs, you are probably going to be suitable for this treatment. There is also a newly improved Emsculpt treatment called Emsculpt Neo, which gives patients with a higher-than-average BMI the chance to also benefit from non-invasive muscle-sculpting and fat loss results.
However, there is a list of health conditions that will prevent you from having these procedures carried out, including pregnancy, pacemakers, bleeding disorders, and a history of hernias. Ask our team at The Cosmetic Skin Clinic for more information about contraindicated health issues.
What does it feel like?
During the treatment, electromagnetic pulses stimulate muscles by contracting them. These electromagnetic pulses may feel like a slight prickly sensation on your skin. With the Emsculpt Neo treatment, patients will also feel a warming sensation thanks to the use of radiofrequency technologies as well, which work to burn fat at a faster rate for patients with more fat to shift. Both Emsculpt in London treatments feel like an intense workout for your muscles and as such, some patients may feel a bit sensitive having them.
Will I need any downtime afterward?
A key advantage of these treatments is that they are non-invasive and require no down or recovery time once completed.
If you are concerned about how fatigued you might feel after an Emsculpt procedure is complete, contact our team for more information.
When will I notice the results?

Will the effects wear off?
