Science Research: TruSculpt Flex VS Emsculpt

TruSculpt Flex VS Emsculpt

trusculpt flex vs emsculpt: Technologies like Emsculpt utilize electromagnetic stimulation to induce muscle contractions, whereas truSculpt flex utilizes electrical stimulation.

During electromagnetic stimulation, a magnetic field is applied over the area of interest resulting in the activation of peripheral nerves that stimulate the muscles.

Unlike truSculpt flex that can stimulate specific muscles by the placement of individual handpieces, electromagnetic stimulation requires bulkier hardware and does not provide a focal stimulus in a controlled manner.

Electromagnetic stimulation, therefore, cannot target specific muscles.

truSculpt flex body sculpting also provides much better body coverage, allowing treatment of up to 8 areas at once relative to the maximum of 2 areas by treatments involving electromagnetic stimulation.

truSculpt flex, besides being flexible in handpiece placement, allows for the reversal of the direction of the application of the current with its multi-directional stimulation technology.

In contrast, electromagnetic stimulation only allows contraction in a single direction. truSculpt flex can comfortably use between 10-20mA of energy to produce results equivalent to those produced by electromagnetic stimulation, that requires up to 2 Tesla of magnetic energy.

Thus, truSculpt flex can stimulate specific muscle sets and provides better body coverage while being more energy efficient.

Changes may become visible after only 4 treatments of 45 minutes each with treatments spaced 48 hours apart. Thus, truSculpt flex can result in improvements in muscle mass in a time-efficient and safe manner.
