Six pack abs are the holy grail of a sculpted physique. Both men and women spend countless hours inside the gym seeking after the coveted contoured core. Unfortunately, recent science suggests that six pack abs are not always attainable, regardless of diet and exercise. Some individuals simply do not respond to ab-workouts as other people do. Other individuals do not have the genetics that allow them to get rid of belly fat and lower their percentage of body fat to less than 10%, the requirement for seeing definition in the stomach area.
Fortunately, advancements in the body contouring industry have now made the long sought after aesthetic of chiseled abdominals more attainable than ever.

Emsculpt Builds, Strengthens, and Tones Muscles
Until recently, non-surgical body contouring treatments, such as CoolSculpting, focused on one aspect of body composition: fat. While reducing belly fat is essential for uncovering abdominal definition, CoolSculpting and other non-invasive fat reduction treatments neglect another very important aspect of body composition: muscle. That’s where Emsculpt comes in. The latest innovation in professional body shaping utilizes electromagnetic energy to stimulate muscle contractions that build, strengthen, and tone the targeted muscle group.

How the Body Builds Muscle
Muscle growth requires stimulation and repair. When we exercise, we stimulate the muscle and cause contractions that strain muscle fibers. The body repairs the damaged muscle tissue by creating new muscle fibers that are bigger and stronger than the ones being replaced. This is how exercise and strength training cause muscle hypertrophy, or muscle building.
Muscle stimulation and repair require a lot of energy. In order to fuel the process of muscle hypertrophy, the body releases free fatty acids that break down nearby fat deposits for energy, a process known as lipolysis. This reduces fat in the treatment area in addition to muscle development.
Superman’s Ab Workout
Emsculpt replicates the process of muscle stimulation and repair by inducing involuntary muscle contractions. However, the popular body contouring treatment stimulates these contractions on a superhuman level. Nicknamed the superman workout, Emsculpt utilizes Highly Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy to stimulate supramaximal contractions. This type of contraction works the muscle beyond anything that can be replicated by manual exercise. A single, 30-minute Emsculpt session delivers more than 20,000 super powerful contractions. That is the equivalent of 20,000 crunches or sit-ups, providing a workout that only superman could reproduce.
Six Pack Abs with Emsculpt
Scientific studies show that Emsculpt can significantly contribute to the development of six pack abs. Recent data demonstrates
- 19% increase in muscle thickness
- 27.4% decrease in subcutaneous fat at 6-month follow-up
- 7.73mm reduction in the fat layer
- 10.46% reduction of diastasis recti
Furthermore, a recent publication in Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology found that “About 91% of patients reported their abdominal appearance improved [after treatments with the Emsculpt device] and 92% stated they are satisfied with treatment results at month 3. ¹
