Hello.

I am Yuu Okubo of BIANCA CLINIC.

 

"I tried the M-Sculpt that's trending on social media, but it didn't work."

──I sometimes hear such voices.

 

But in reality,There's simply a reason why it's hard to feel the effects.And when used under the right conditions, it's a device that delivers solid results.

Today,“Is ”Musculate is ineffective" true? The reasons behind this perception and its actual effects and case studiesWe will explain.

 

 

What is EmSculpt?

EmSculpt is a body sculpting machine that uses HIFEM (High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic Energy) to induce approximately 20,000 "super-maximal muscle contractions" in just 30 minutes.

It stimulates deep muscles (inner muscles) up to 7cm below the skin—a depth unreachable by regular training—increasing muscle mass while also inducing apoptosis (natural cell death) in fat cells.

As a result,

 

  • Muscle gain

  • Reduction in body fat

  • Improved Posture and Metabolism

 

This helps build the foundation for your body shape.

Additionally, EmSculpt isA Glute-Specific Program to Build Muscle Without Losing FatIt is equipped with features that make it suitable for treatments aimed at lifting the hips.

Even one session provides muscle stimulation, but to notice visible changes,Approximately four times every one to two weeksis ideal.

The pain is similar to "intense muscle soreness," with almost no restrictions on daily life.

 

 

The Difference Between EmSculpt and Conventional Body Contouring Devices

Conventional body contouring devices (such as fat freezing, cavitation, and radiofrequency) have fundamentally focused solely on reducing fat.

Meanwhile, EmSculpt pioneers a new approach: “increasing muscle mass while reducing fat.”

Below is a comparison table between EmSculpt and conventional body contouring devices.

 

  Conventional body contouring devices M-sculpt
Primary targets adipocyte Muscle + Fat
Approach Heat / Cool / Destroy High-Intensity Focused Muscle Contraction (HIFEM)
Achievable changes Fat decreases Muscle UP + Fat DOWN
Types of Effects Focus on visual thinness Your physique, posture, metabolism, and function will change

 

With conventional devices, even when fat is reduced, muscle weakness remains, leading to limitations such as "losing weight but still having a protruding belly" or "hips losing their shape easily."

Musculate trains the fundamental foundation of the body—muscle—

 

  • creates a waistline

  • Posture improves

  • Becoming less prone to weight gain

  • The hips lift naturally.

 

such as, moreThree-dimensional and functional body sculptingIt's possible!

 

 

The main reasons why people feel "EmSculpt is ineffective"

Here are three reasons why you might feel that EmSculpt isn't effective.

 

① Not enough times

EmSculpt is,Stimulate your muscles even onceHowever, to actually feel the changes in your body shape,four or more timesis ideal.

Muscles are just like training,Accumulation is necessaryWhat is it?

 

② The time it takes for effects to appear varies significantly from person to person.

Muscle mass and fat layer thickness vary from person to person.

Individuals with thick subcutaneous fat may find it difficult for magnetic field energy to reach their muscles,It takes time for the effects to show.also.

Conversely, for those with naturally less muscle mass, even if they feel less pain initially, it often indicates that the muscles are receiving adequate stimulation.

 

③ Inappropriate interval or mode settings

It is ideal to receive EmSculpt four times consecutively, every 1 to 2 weeks.

Also, depending on the area orSwitch modes according to your purposeIt is important.
