Emsculpt®
Muscle Toning and Fat Reduction in San Diego
Sometimes even with a healthy diet and regular workouts, stubborn areas just won’t budge. At Aesthetica Medical Spa San Diego, we offer Emsculpt®, a groundbreaking body contouring treatment that simultaneously builds muscle and burns fat. No surgery, no downtime. Our patients love that Emsculpt® helps them see results they haven’t been able to achieve at the gym alone.
What Is Emsculpt®?
Emsculpt® is an FDA-cleared device that uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM®) energy to trigger powerful muscle contractions in the treatment area.
These are called supramaximal contractions—the kind you can’t achieve voluntarily during a workout. One 30-minute session is equivalent to doing about 20,000 sit-ups or squats.
The result: stronger, firmer muscles and a reduction in stubborn fat cells.
Benefits of Emsculpt®
- Builds and tones muscle while reducing fat
- Noninvasive, nonsurgical treatment with no downtime
- Quick sessions (about 30 minutes)
- FDA-cleared for abs, buttocks, arms, calves, and thighs
- Feels like an intense workout, but you’re lying down
- Natural, gradual results that improve over several weeks

-
- You’re close to your ideal body weight but want more definition
