Is EMSCULPT NEO® Treatment Safe During Pregnancy?

By Dr. Vimal Patel on May 28 2022

EMSCULPT NEO is a noninvasive procedure that uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy (HIFEM) to reduce the appearance of abdominal fat and build muscle tone. While this treatment in Mashpee, MA does not require surgery, some women wonder if it is safe to undergo EMSCULPT NEO while pregnant.

 

Body contouring procedures, like EMSCULPT NEO, are not safe at any time during pregnancy. The good news is that Mashpee Family Medicine can counteract unwanted changes that occur during pregnancy. Board-certified physician Dr. Vimal Patel can review what is possible during a comprehensive assessment. Allow us to create a customized EMSCULPT NEO plan for you.

How does EMSCULPT NEO work?

It can be hard to reduce small problem areas no matter how much you diet or exercise. EMSCULPT NEO works by targeting unwanted fat deposits while also building muscle. The device uses high-frequency electromagnetic energy to stimulate muscle contractions. Patients may expect to see about 20,000 contractions in a 30-minute session. This is the same as doing 20,000 sit-ups.

Best of all, the technology used in EMSCULPT NEO does not require incisions, anesthesia, or pain in the treatment area. This means EMSCULPT NEO is a noninvasive and nonsurgical way to reach your cosmetic goals. Patients can return home or to work on the same day as their body contouring treatment.

Is EMSCULPT NEO safe for pregnant women?

EMSCULPT NEO is safe for qualified candidates who have spoken with a medical professional and are cleared for the procedure. Candidates are healthy men and women who have reached their ideal body weight but continue to struggle with their appearance.

Patients who are currently pregnant, may be pregnant, or are trying to become pregnant should wait until after they have given birth and are no longer breastfeeding before considering EMSCULPT NEO. Mashpee Family Medicine suggests waiting at least 4 – 6 weeks after giving birth before seeking treatment.
