EM Shaping
What is EMSHAPE Muscle Training?
EMshape (also called EM Sculpt) builds muscle and burns fat with High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy targeting specific muscles. EMshape delivers HIFEM current directly from the applicator paddle to muscle and fat. This non-surgical body contouring treatment is in a league of its own. It sculpts your body by burning fat and building muscle. This painless and non-invasive treatment requires zero downtime.
One, 30-minute session is equivalent to 20,000 supramaximal contractions. This is equals 20,000 squats or situps within just one, 30 minute session. After a series of 4, twice-weekly treatments, the size of the muscle fibers increases significantly, improving your contour and form. Electromagnetic technology is cleared for use by the FDA and Health Canada.

Anna’s story will inspire you! After a double hip replacement and 2 years recovery, her mobility was limited and she was left with no muscle strength on one side. Anna went from using a wheelchair to walking with out assistance. EMshape restored her vitality.
How Long Does EMshaping take?
Each EMshape session is a 30 minute treatment on one particular area of the body. If you’re working on multiple body parts, like the abdominal and the buttock areas, that will require two 30 minute sessions. An EMshape treatment cycle is 4 sessions, each 30 minutes, spaced 2-3 days apart, over a period of two weeks.
How Long Does it Take to Recover From EMshaping?
- There is no recovery time needed after an EMshape treatment.
EMshaping Risks
- The biggest risk is a client’s unrealistic expectations.
- EMshape contractions clear the lactic acid buildup that causes sore muscles, so you may feel only minor soreness after treatment
- On rare occasions, people have said they feel fatigued
Do I Still Need to Diet and Exercise with EMshaping?
Eating healthy is essential to keep unwanted fat off your body. The belly is often the last place to lose fat from exercise alone, even though it’s often the first to gain it. A healthy diet and EMshape treatments can support each other in working more effectively to achieve your goals.
Who is an EMshape Candidate?
- If you’re as conscious about your health and fitness as you are about your physical appearance, then you sound like a prime candidate for EMshape treatments.
- Good candidates for the EMshape treatment are those with an unwanted localized collection of abdominal fat, thigh fat, or a flat, sagging buttock.
- Those with more than 3 cm of fat may not see the full effects of their EMshape results without moderate weight reduction.
- You cannot EmShape during pregnancy.
- EmShape after delivery – you can safely have EMShape after delivery, wait a minimum of two weeks. It will indeed help with the separation of your abdominal muscles, and help you to strengthen and tighten them as well.
Not Everyone can EMshape
- Individuals with metal or electronics, like a pacemaker or cardiac defibrillator are not good candidates.
- If you have cardiac issues or a history of seizures you are not a good candidate
- Clients with a history of muscle issues such as complicated hernias, are not suitable candidates to receive EMshape treatments.
- There can’t be any metal around the device much like getting an MRI.
- If you have a metal implant in your body, particularly in the treatment area, consult with your doctor.
- If the pins in your leg are truly metal then you should not have EMshape. If they are titanium and your orthopedic surgeon has said that it is okay for you to have a MRI, then you should be able to have EMshape treatments. Be sure to get clearance from your physician before your treatment.
- You cannot EmShape during pregnancy. You can safely have EMShape after delivery, wait a minimum of two weeks. It will indeed help with the separation of your abdominal muscles, and help you to strengthen and tighten them as well.
