EMSculpt ® and truSculpt ® Body Toning in Philadelphia – Ardmore, PA
EMSculpt ® Body Toning
EMSCULPT is a non-invasive body sculpting treatment that uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy to stimulate powerful muscle contractions. These contractions go beyond what’s possible through voluntary exercise, targeting deep muscle layers to build strength and tone. EMSCULPT is FDA-cleared to treat the abdomen, buttocks, arms, legs, and pelvic floor. By inducing thousands of supramaximal contractions in a single session, EMSCULPT helps reshape and define your body—no surgery, no downtime.
BUILD MUSCLES WHEN WORKOUTS AREN’T ENOUGH
A series of non-invasive treatments can tone the abdomen, lift the buttocks, sculpt the arms and legs, and strengthen the pelvic floor—EMSCULPT® builds muscle where workouts can’t reach.
RESULTS OF TREATMENT
EMSCULPT results typically appear within weeks, with continued improvement over time. Muscle tone and definition can last several months with maintenance sessions.

EMSculpt® FAQ
How does a magnet treatment stimulate muscle contractions?
Believe it or not, generators make electricity by moving a magnetic field around wires to create current. The same principle is used by the EMSCULPT device. It generates a magnetic field that produces an electric current within your muscles, causing them to contract. These contractions are much stronger than those you can achieve through voluntary workouts.
Why can’t I just get the same results from working out?
While regular exercise is essential for overall health and wellness, EMSCULPT takes muscle engagement to the next level. The device produces thousands of powerful contractions per minute—more than you could achieve on your own. It targets deep muscle layers and specific muscle groups that are difficult to isolate with exercise, resulting in enhanced strength that you can’t replicate at the gym.
Can I get EMSCULPT treatments if I’m working out regularly?
Yes, EMSCULPT is a great complement to your fitness routine. It enhances muscle development and definition, especially in areas where traditional exercise falls short. Since the treatment feels like an intense workout, it’s a good idea to take a break from your regular exercise regimen on the day of your session to give your muscles a chance to recover.
What areas of the body can EMSCULPT treat?
EMSCULPT is FDA-cleared to treat the abdomen, buttocks, arms, legs, and pelvic floor. It’s effective in toning and strengthening these areas by stimulating deep muscle activity. Many patients use it to build core strength, lift the buttocks, or improve arm and leg definition.
How long does each session take?
Each EMSCULPT session typically lasts about 30 minutes. Most patients see optimal results with a series of four treatments scheduled over two weeks, though your provider will recommend a personalized plan based on your goals.
Does the treatment hurt?
No, EMSCULPT isn’t painful. You’ll feel intense muscle contractions during the session, similar to what you might feel during a tough workout. The treatment is generally well-tolerated, and there is no need for anesthesia or downtime.
Is there any downtime after treatment?
None at all. EMSCULPT is completely non-invasive, so you can return to your regular activities immediately after your session. Some patients experience mild muscle soreness afterward—similar to post-workout fatigue—but it typically resolves quickly.
When will I see the results?
Many patients begin to feel tangible results within a few days, such as improved muscle tone or strength. Visible changes often appear within two to four weeks after the final session, with continued improvement over the next weeks as your body builds muscle.
How long do the results last?
The results can last for several months, especially with a healthy lifestyle. Periodic maintenance sessions are recommended to help you maintain your new tone and definition.
Who is a good candidate for EMSCULPT?
EMSCULPT is ideal for healthy individuals close to their desired weight but who want more muscle definition in specific areas. It’s not a weight-loss solution but is great for boosting muscle strength, tightening your core, or enhancing the shape of your body.
How should I prepare for my EMSCULPT treatment?
There’s no special preparation needed, but it’s best to wear comfortable clothing and avoid intense exercise on the day of your session. Be sure to stay well-hydrated, and let your provider know if you have any metal implants or electronic devices in the treatment area.
truSculpt® Body Toning
The truSculpt® device by Cutera uses electrical stimulation to induce muscle contractions in a way we cannot achieve on our own through exercise. Devices like truSculpt® have been used in the physical therapy world for rehabilitation from injury or surgery for decades. These devices are very well known to athletic trainers and physical medicine and rehabilitation physicians. They are used for recovery following multiple types of orthopedic surgery, including ACL repair and other knee surgery. This means that these devices are well studied and safe. Unlike typical machines used for post-surgical rehabilitation, multiple areas of the body can be treated simultaneously with truSculpt® making treatments quick and efficient. The truSculpt® device creates multiple contractions a minute in a pattern that we cannot replicate from exercise. The truSculpt® device can be used along with an exercise regimen, although we do not recommend it on the same day as your workout, as that would be like working out twice.

truSculpt® FAQ
How does the Cutera truSculpt® device work?
The Cutera truSculpt® device is an electrostimulation device that sends small rapid electrical stimulatory currents to your muscles to get them to contract like in a workout, only much faster and in a pattern designed to optimize results.
What is a TENS unit?
TENS is an acronym that stands for: Transcutaneous (through the skin) Electrical Nerve Stimulation. This means that an electric current is passed through the skin to the underlying muscles stimulating them to contract. Following an injury or surgery to a joint or muscle, the affected muscles can lose tone and become weak. This makes rehabilitation difficult. Artificially stimulating the muscles to contract with a TENS unit helps strengthen muscles during the rehabilitation process.
How does the Cutera truSculpt® device differ from a TENS unit?
A TENS unit stimulates very specific muscle groups in a given treatment. The Cutera truSculpt® device can stimulate multiple muscle groups at the same time, and in ways that a typical TENS unit does not. This is because the Cutera truSculpt® device is designed for muscle toning.
Can the Cutera truSculpt® device be combined with CoolSculpting® treatments?
Yes, patients often come for CoolSculpting® treatments and get Cutera truSculpt® treatments, although not on the same day. Localized fat reduction and muscle stimulation are very complementary treatments for body toning.
