Build The Abs of Your Dreams with EMSculpt® | Dr Benjamin Cozanet Paris

To build abdominal muscles, even tough and rigorous workouts are not enough, you must also follow a strict diet and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

EMSculpt® is a breakthrough medical technology which is painless and fast-acting, to build up your abs while burning fat, without spending hours at the gym. 

EMSculpt® is ideal for athletes who want to optimize their training efforts and enhance their muscular performance, to burn subcutaneous fate and shape abs like never before, and for less physical people who want to sculpt their abdominals and benefit from the support and strength it provides to the abdominal belt, while also eliminating fat across the stomach area. 

What is EMSculpt®?

EMSculpt® is a medical device developed by the BTL Aesthetic laboratory, which emits electromagnetic pulses (the MRI kind) of high intensity, and which are focalized (HIFEM) deep down on all abdominal muscles (rectus abdominis, obliques, and transverse). 

These pulses trigger intense consecutive contractions (up to 1000 in just a few seconds) to the targeted abdominal muscles. The EMSculpt® contractions are so intense that they are impossible to achieve voluntarily by doing tummy crunches, they are referred to as “supramaximal”.

1–30-minute EMSculpt® session is equivalent to 20 000 muscular contractions (or 20 000 crunches). 

EMSculpt® is the only medical device in the world to have received FDA approval for its safety (no side effects), and its effectiveness on muscle and fat.  Dr Benjamin Cozanet only uses products and medical devices which have been approved by the FDA to guarantee treatment, safety, and effective results.  

Build Muscles and Burn Fat with EMSculpt®: Everything You Need to Know

The supramaximal muscular contractions triggered by EMSculpt® to the abdominal muscles bring about muscle hyperplasia (increase in number of muscle fibers) and abdominal hypertrophy (increase in the size of muscles).

This high-intensity muscle activity to the abdominals consumes significantly more energy from the surrounding fat cells than voluntary contractions, provoking the destruction of some of the fat cells through the natural and definitive mechanism called, apoptosis, thus reducing fat thickness and density under the skin across the abdominal region.

Unlike other electrostimulation devices, EMSculpt® operates at different depths.

Whereas traditional electrostimulation electrodes or plates are applied to the skin’s surface, at a superficial muscular level; the energy loss (heat on the surface of the skin) is such that there is no deep action in the heart of the muscles, nor muscle building.

However, the EMSculpt® electromagnetic field is concentrated directly at a depth of 7 cm, targeting muscle fibers without any energy loss, with a focalized action that is much more powerful than electrostimulation.

This EMSculpt® focalized electromagnetic energy builds new muscular fibers and provides maximum effectiveness to all abdominal muscles.

EMSculpt® is painless since there is no thermal heating effect to the skin’s surface, so no burning sensations arise.

Finally, EMSculpt® acts on all abdominal muscles (rectus abdominis, obliques, and transverse), while electrostimulation acts only on the superficial part of the rectus abdominis muscles.

EMSculpt® for Abs and Fat: The Results 

Several scan, MRI, ultrasound and biopsy studies have proven that EMSculpt® produces: 

• A +25% increase in muscle mass to all abdominal muscles. 

• A 30% reduction to the abdominal subcutaneous fat layer. 

At the muscular level, a sensation of muscle toning and tightening appears as of the 1st session, and you start to visibly detect the difference as of the 2nd session.  

The fat reduction occurs through an apoptosis mechanism to the fat cells which concludes its cycle 8-12 weeks after the treatment.

EMSculpt® rectus abdominis muscle results: a toned belly with well-defined or more visibly sculpted abs, depending on the treatment indication.

EMSculpt® transverse abdominal muscle results: help to sculpt a flat belly and reduce any potential diastasis.

EMSculpt® oblique abdominal muscle results: bring about a toned, V-cut belly. The results are long-lasting since the fat reduction is permanent. The new muscle build must be maintained through routine workouts. If necessary, 1 EMSculpt® session can be performed every 6-12 months to maintain the abdominal muscle results.  

Beyond these outstanding results, Dr Benjamin Cozanet equally observes that after an EMSculpt® protocol, your posture improves and his patients report a significant decrease in chronic back pain and a remarkable improvement in their athletic performance.

The EMSculpt® Treatment Protocol

The usual protocol EMSculpt® treatment road map includes 4–30-minute sessions, 5-10 days apart.

Dr Benjamin Cozanet can customize this protocol according to patient profile and the initial evaluation of the muscle and fat masses, as well as individual expectations and objectives.  

No prep is necessary, no pain or aftercare, the EMSculpt® session is performed in Doctor Benjamin Cozanet’s 1st district Parisian clinic. 

Dr Benjamin Cozanet also recommends that you maintain a low-fat diet (avoiding triglycerides, alcohol, fried foods, saucy dishes…) high in protein, slow and fast carbohydrates, and vitamins, once the protocol begins and, in the days following, to not upset the liver’s elimination of the dead fat cells (triggered by EMSculpt®) and to maximize your muscle building and toning. 

You can immediately resume your routine workouts and fitness programs.

Other Aesthetic and Body Contouring Treatments 

In the case of an overall body shaping protocol, to treat localized fat zones across the love handle zone for example, or if Dr Benjamin Cozanet detects a thicker or vaster fat layer on the abdominals, he could recommend a preliminary Cryolipolysis Coolsculpting® treatment to selectively eliminate this fat. 

You can optimize your aesthetic results and your newly sculpted abdominal definition by performing a laser hair removal session to the abdomen and torso, or other zones.

If excessive sweating makes you uncomfortable, (or to always feel clean and dry), a simple and effective treatment exists to deal with this embarrassing issue.
