Does EMSculpt actually burn fat?

EMSculpt's primary purpose is muscle building. Clinical studies show roughly 19% fat reduction as a secondary effect, but it isn't a fat-loss tool — it works best when you already have very little fat to lose. CryoLipo fat freezing is purpose-built to eliminate fat cells, which is why it produces up to 25% fat reduction per area as its primary outcome.

Can I get the EMSculpt benefit at CryoSculpt Body Lab?

Yes. Every CryoLipo session at CryoSculpt Body Lab already includes EMS muscle toning — the same underlying technology family as EMSculpt — so you get fat freezing and muscle toning in a single appointment instead of paying for two separate $1,000 treatments.

Which is right for me — CryoLipo or EMSculpt?

If you have stubborn fat — love handles, lower belly, back rolls, inner thighs — CryoLipo is the right call because EMSculpt won't meaningfully reduce that fat. If you are already lean and want pure muscle definition (think abs, glutes, biceps), EMSculpt is a fit. For nearly every body-contouring goal we see in Orlando, CryoLipo + included EMS toning covers both bases.

How does the price compare?

EMSculpt typically runs $750–$1,000 per session and is usually sold in 4-session packages totaling $3,000–$4,000. CryoLipo at CryoSculpt Body Lab starts at $99 for your first session, with a 4-session Sculpt Series at $1,560 — and EMS muscle toning is included in every visit at no additional charge.

Is EMSculpt safer than fat freezing?

Both are FDA-cleared non-invasive technologies with strong safety profiles. EMSculpt's risks are limited (mild soreness, rare muscle strain), and cryolipolysis has been used safely on millions of treatments since 2010, with a very low rate of side effects (~0.005–0.14% PAH risk). For most clients, the deciding factor is what you're trying to achieve, not safety.

Side-by-side

CryoLipo vs. EMSculpt.

One freezes fat away. The other builds muscle. Here's the honest difference — and why we combine both in one session.

TL;DR

The short version.

• EMSculpt builds muscle. It does not meaningfully reduce fat (~19% as a side effect vs CryoLipo's up-to-25% as the primary outcome).
• CryoLipo at CryoSculpt Body Lab already includes EMS muscle toning in every session.
• EMSculpt costs $3,000–$4,000 for a typical 4-pack. Our Sculpt Series is $1,560 with EMS toning included.
• If you have stubborn fat to lose first — freeze it. EMSculpt only shines on already-lean bodies.
