What it is
Emsculpt Classic is a muscle toning treatment that strengthens, firms and defines targeted areas using high intensity electromagnetic stimulation. It triggers powerful muscle contractions to improve tone and shape, with no needles, no downtime and no effort on the day.
You lie down fully clothed while the applicator is strapped to the area being treated. It is the treatment we reach for when the goal is tone and definition rather than fat reduction, and it is priced as a course because that is where the change happens.
Where it is used
One 45 minute session, working on the areas where muscle tone is the goal.
- Abdomen
- Glutes
- Arms
- Thighs
- No needles, no downtime and no effort on the day
- Progressive muscle definition with a course
Who it suits
- Poor muscle tone on the abdomen, glutes, arms or thighs
- Anyone who trains and still cannot get the definition they want in one area
- People rebuilding abdominal strength after pregnancy
- Anyone who wants a body treatment with nothing to recover from
- Anyone who will commit to a course, which is where the change happens
When it is not the answer
- Stubborn fat as well as weak muscle, where Emsculpt NEO adds radiofrequency and works on both
- Loose skin rather than muscle, where HIFU or Morpheus 8 is considered instead
- Pelvic floor weakness or bladder leaks, which Emsella is built for
- Weight loss as a goal in itself, which this is not
- Pregnancy
If Emsculpt Classic is not the right treatment for you, we will say so at consultation and suggest what is.
What happens on the day
Your consultation covers what you want to change, what you already do and which area is worth treating first. Once the plan is agreed, the applicator is positioned and strapped in place over your clothes.
The session lasts 45 minutes. You feel strong, repeated muscle contractions. The intensity is built up gradually and is adjusted throughout, so tell us how it feels.
There is no downtime and you go straight back to your day. Muscles can feel worked afterwards, in the way they do after training. Definition builds progressively across a course.
Emsculpt Classic questions
How much is Emsculpt Classic at Skinfolk?
A single 45 minute session is £100 and a course of six is £480. Bikini Bank, which treats the tummy and bum together, is £120 for 75 minutes. Every price is on our treatment pricing page.
How many sessions will I need?
That is agreed at your consultation. Emsculpt Classic is priced as a course of six for that reason, because definition builds progressively rather than after one appointment.
Does it hurt?
It is not painful. You feel strong, repeated muscle contractions, the intensity is built up gradually and it is adjusted through the session.
Is there any downtime?
None. You stay fully clothed, the session takes 45 minutes and you go straight back to your day. Muscles can feel worked afterwards, in the way they do after training.
What is the difference between Emsculpt Classic and Emsculpt NEO?
Emsculpt Classic uses high intensity electromagnetic stimulation to strengthen, firm and define, so it works on muscle. Emsculpt NEO adds radiofrequency, so it works on fat as well as muscle. NEO is £150 a session or £660 for six.
Which should I book, Classic or NEO?
If your concern is tone and definition, Classic answers it. If stubborn fat is part of the picture as well, NEO is the one to book. We will tell you which at consultation rather than before it.
Where is the clinic?
Skinfolk is at The Paddocks, Woodhall Lane, Ombersley, Uphampton, Droitwich WR9 0JR. We welcome clients from Droitwich Spa, Worcester, Bromsgrove and across Worcestershire. Details are on our contact page.
What it treats
Emsculpt Classic is the treatment we reach for on poor muscle tone, and on abdominal strength after pregnancy. Where stubborn fat sits alongside weak muscle, Emsculpt NEO is usually the better answer because it treats both.
It sits with Emsculpt NEO, Emsella and our laser and radio-frequency treatments on the body page, and prices are on the treatment pricing page. Taken as a course it forms part of our treatment packages and our signature programmes.
