Achieve Your Ideal Body with Dr. Jennifer Berman and EMSCULPT

Transform your physique with EMSCULPT®, the groundbreaking non-invasive treatment that combines fat reduction and muscle building. Using High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology, EMSCULPT induces powerful muscle contractions beyond what’s possible in a standard workout—delivering the equivalent of 20,000 crunches or squats in just 30 minutes.

Dr. Jennifer Berman, a trusted expert in women’s health and aesthetic body sculpting, offers EMSCULPT as part of her comprehensive body contouring services in Los Angeles. Whether targeting stubborn fat, enhancing muscle tone, or seeking a non-surgical solution for body sculpting, EMSCULPT is an effective and innovative choice.

Non-Invasive Body Sculpting

Let’s be real, when it comes to having the “ideal body”, achieving that goal is much easier said than done. Women today are devoted to the pursuit of a flatter, firmer belly and more prominent, curvy backside, but often find it challenging to meet these aesthetic goals without undergoing cosmetic
surgery. Despite eating healthy and spending hours on the treadmill, many women, especially during peri-menopause and menopause, discover that their bodies just aren’t responding like they used to. While everyone knows the key to getting rid of unwanted fat and building muscle entails cutting calories, eating healthy and exercising, but what do you do when you are doing all the
right things and still not seeing the results you want?

Non-surgical body contouring is a cutting edge, minimally invasive technology with no downtime. According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), non-surgical body contouring treatments have seen a 50.4 percent increase in popularity over the last few years. Today, there are over a dozen new technologies on the market, however, not all these devices actually work to build lasting muscle tone and definition. I have personally evaluated all of the modalities on the market and picked the ones I believe are most effective and offer lasting results.

What is EMSculpt?

Emsculpt is a nonsurgical body sculpting treatment designed to strengthen muscles and melt fat by simulating intense muscle contractions that go above and beyond what can be achieved in any workout session. In a series of four 30 minute treatments, spaced over a period of two weeks, my patients achieve results far beyond what they were able to reach sweating it out at the gym doing rep after rep and set after set. For women seeking firmer abs and/or a tighter, perkier backside, Emsculpt, in my opinion, is a great option to consider.

Why Women Struggle to Lose Weight

No one is immune to weight gain, and as we age, it’s harder to maintain that healthy weight. Even though both men and women face this struggle, recent research suggests that women may lose weight differently than men. While our genetics, daily caloric intake, the foods we eat and our activity level all play a role in metabolism, women face additional factors that prevent them from losing weight. Some of these include:

  • Muscle Mass – Generally speaking, women tend to be smaller in size than men and have less muscle and more fat. As a result, men typically lose weight faster while eating more calories daily than women. Muscle burns more calories than fat, so men are usually able to burn more
    calories at rest than women. Emscupt builds lean muscle mass while toning your body and increases the number of calories you burn at rest.
  • Menstrual Cycles – While your menstrual cycle itself doesn’t contribute
    to weight loss or gain, it can affect your weight in other ways. You may
    already be all too aware that premenstrual syndrome (PMS) can cause
    you to crave and eat more sugar or salty foods than you usually do,
    which can lead to weight gain. Salty foods also cause the body to retain
    more water, which can raise the number you see on the scale.
  • Menopause – It can definitely be challenging to maintain and/or lose
    weight during menopause; most women will gain an average of five to
    ten pounds and fat tends to build up in the abdominal region. As we
    age, our metabolism begins to slow down due to a decline in ovarian
    hormones.

As you can see from the list, some of these factors you have some control over — others you do not. Perhaps it is not entirely your fault that you’ve put on some additional weight, and perhaps there are some areas you could improve. At the same time, even if you are able to control the weight you lose through a healthy diet and active lifestyle, you can’t always control where that weight comes off. Common trouble spots such as the midsection or backside don’t always receive the full benefits of your efforts. The good news is EMSCULPT picks up where your workouts left off to help you shape and tone the areas that trouble you the most.

What is EMSculpt?

EMSCULPT is a noninvasive body contouring treatment created by BTL, a world-renowned manufacturer of medical devices. Unlike other noninvasive body contouring treatments that focus exclusively on reducing unwanted fat, EMSCULPT builds muscle in those hard-to-tone areas to take your results to the next level. The proprietary technology utilized by EMSCULPT eliminates the need for uncomfortable heat-inducing treatments such as lasers, radiofrequency or ultrasound energy to break up fat cells. Instead, EMSCULPT works with the natural processes of your body to simulate an intense workout, just at a much faster and more intense rate than you could ever achieve manually at the gym.

The “EM” in EMSCULPT stands for “electromagnetic”; the secret behind the device’s success. More specifically, EMSCULPT uses revolutionary high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy similar to that used in an MRI machine to produce supramaximal muscle contractions in the targeted abdominal or gluteal muscles during treatment. Superamaxial contractions refer to high-tension muscle contractions that exceed the highest amount of tension your muscles can exert and hold under normal conditions, or your maximal voluntary contractions (MVC). EMSCULPT triggers up to 20,000 supramaximal contractions in a single treatment session or the equivalent of 20,000 crunches or squats in just 30 minutes.

When exposed to these contractions, your muscle tissue is forced to adapt to these extreme conditions. This, in turn, causes the targeted muscles to start remodeling their internal structure. In other words, EMSCULPT increases your muscle volume and density. EMSCULPT is the only FDA-cleared device today designed to build muscle mass and, in turn, eliminate stubborn fat without downtime or discomfort.

EMSCULPT treatments are quick and relatively comfortable. Most patients liken the sensations experienced during their procedure to that of an intense workout at the gym. During an EMSCULPT session, all that will be required of you is to lay down and take it easy as the device does all of the work for you. The specially designed paddles of EMSCULPT will be placed over your abdomen or gluteal muscles depending on the area you have selected to target. We will start the treatment on a lower setting to allow you to get used to the sensation, then gradually increase the intensity according to your tolerance and desired results. The device alternates between an active phase and a resting phase to ensure your muscles get all the benefits of a simulated workout as lie there. Although the feeling of involuntary muscle contractions can feel odd at first, you will quickly adjust to the sensations as your treatment progresses. One EMSCULPT session is typically just 30 minutes in duration, making it the perfect lunch-break treatment or quick enough to fit into your already busy schedule.

Why Choose EMSCULPT for Body Sculpting in Los Angeles?

Achieving a toned, contoured physique can be challenging, even with a healthy diet and exercise routine. EMSCULPT offers a unique dual benefit, simultaneously addressing fat reduction and muscle building. Here’s why EMSCULPT is the preferred choice for body sculpting:

  • Dual Action: Combines fat elimination with muscle toning for comprehensive body contouring.
  • Non-Invasive and Comfortable: No needles, incisions, or recovery time—just quick, painless sessions.
  • Fast Results: Sessions last only 30 minutes, with noticeable improvements after just one treatment.
  • FDA-Cleared: Safe and effective for toning abs, buttocks, and other problem areas.

What Are the Potential Side Effects of EMSCULPT?

As a gentle muscle toning treatment, EMSCULPT produces virtually zero side effects afterward. You may feel a bit sore in your treated area following your treatment sessions. Because the targeted muscles are exposed to thousands of contractions in such a short period, patients can expect to experience some muscle fatigue similar to how you feel after a vigorous workout at the gym. Any discomfort or soreness should not persist for more than a few days and will not keep you from performing your regular day-to-day activities.

How Many EMSCULPT Treatments Are Needed?

While you will be able to feel tangible improvements to your treated area after a single EMSCULPT session, most patients will experience their most optimal results from a series of EMSCULPT appointments. In most cases, patients will require a minimum of four EMSCULPT sessions spaced two to three days apart throughout a two-week treatment process, depending on your goals. During your EMSCULPT consultation, our staff will work with you to develop an individualized treatment course that is tailored to your specific needs, so that you know what to expect to make the vision for your body a reality.

What to Expect During EMSCULPT Treatment

  • Consultation and Planning: Dr. Berman’s team will assess your goals and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your body type and desired outcomes.

  • Treatment Process: EMSCULPT applicators are placed on targeted areas such as the abdomen or buttocks during your session. You’ll experience rhythmic, supramaximal muscle contractions, which may feel unusual but are generally comfortable.

  • Post-Treatment: Afterward, you might notice mild muscle soreness, similar to an intense workout. There’s no downtime—patients can return to their daily activities immediately.
  • Results Timeline: While some improvement is visible after the first session, optimal results typically appear 2-4 weeks after completing the treatment series.

How Long Will My Results Last?

The muscle mass and definition you gain through a series of EMSCULPT treatments are designed to be long-lasting, but may not be permanent. While some patients who undergo a complete course of EMSCULPT treatments can maintain their newly sculpted physique on their own with diet and exercise, others may wish to return periodically for maintenance sessions to keep their contours in check. While there is no set time on how long your results can last, with no maintenance of any kind, treated muscles will slowly start to diminish. Our team can help you to create an EMSCULPT treatment schedule so you can continue to see results and enjoy your best body for years to come.

Benefits of EMSCULPT

  • Targeted Muscle Toning: Enhances strength and definition in the abdomen, buttocks, thighs, and arms.
  • Fat Reduction: Stimulates fat breakdown in treated areas for a leaner appearance.
  • Improved Posture and Core Strength: Strengthens core muscles for better stability and posture.
  • Zero Downtime: Fits seamlessly into busy schedules without disrupting daily life.

Is EMSCULPT Right for You?

EMSCULPT is ideal for individuals who:

  • Want to tone their abs or lift their buttocks?
  • Struggle with stubborn fat that resists diet and exercise.
  • Seek a non-surgical alternative to liposuction or weight-loss surgery.
  • Prefer minimal downtime and a quick, effective solution.

While EMSCULPT is FDA-cleared and safe for most patients, those with metal implants, pacemakers, or certain medical conditions may not be candidates. Pregnant women should also avoid the procedure. Dr. Berman’s team will provide a thorough consultation to ensure your eligibility and tailor the treatment to your needs.
