Emsculpt offers a unique advantage over CoolSculpting by addressing both fat reduction and muscle toning. Clinical studies have shown that Emsculpt can increase muscle mass by up to 16% and reduce fat by 19% after a series of treatments. In contrast, CoolSculpting targets only fat cells, typically reducing fat by about 20% in the treated area. The treatment experience also differs significantly between Emsculpt and CoolSculpting. Emsculpt sessions are relatively quick, lasting about 30 minutes per area. Patients often describe the sensation as a good workout without the sweat. There is no downtime, and normal activities can be resumed immediately after treatment.
CoolSculpting sessions are longer, usually taking about an hour per area. Patients might feel intense cold and tugging during the procedure, followed by numbness. Some temporary side effects include swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the treated area, and it can take several weeks to see the full results.
