In terms of pain, there is none—zero pain. In fact, a person undergoing the treatment will not even feel so much as a pinprick.
The EMSCULPT procedure is completely non-invasive and non-surgical, and as such, there is not even a need for anaesthesia.
During the treatment, one may feel mild heat in the area being treated – that is all.
As for side effects: the treated area may be sweaty and red at the conclusion of a session.
Whilst the sweat will subside immediately afterwards, the redness may last up to 24 hours maximum.
Also, the treated muscles will feel a tiny bit sore for a day or two – not unlike after a workout at the gym or physical training at the park.
Due to its fat reduction aspect, the EMSCULPT procedure results in the body detoxifying via lymphatic drainage.
This can trigger fatigue and excess thirst for up to 24 hours.
Additionally, the detox feature of the treatment may also lead to feeling slightly bloated for a short period, not dissimilar to other cleansing treatments.
