Is EmSculpt Right for Your Concern?
Find the right EmSculpt approach for what brought you in.
If you have weak core strength or low abdominal tone, what helps?
EmSculpt for abs builds muscle and reduces overlying belly fat in the same 30-minute session. Most patients complete 4 sessions over 2 weeks.
If you want toned glutes without surgery or weight training, what works?
The EmSculpt glute applicator is a non-surgical option for glute toning. It builds glute muscle through 20,000 contractions per session.
If you have stubborn abdominal fat with weak underlying muscle, what works?
EmSculpt targets both fat and muscle in the same session. If your goal is fat reduction only, CoolSculpting may be a better fit.
If you have diastasis recti or postpartum core weakness, can EmSculpt help?
EmSculpt has FDA clearance for abdominal toning and is often used for diastasis recti support. Our certified technician confirms candidacy during the consultation.
If you are already lean and just want muscle definition, is EmSculpt right?
EmSculpt builds visible muscle even on lean patients. The 4-session protocol delivers up to a 16 percent muscle mass increase in treated areas.
If you have loose or sagging skin only with no muscle or fat goal, is EmSculpt right?
EmSculpt builds muscle, it does not tighten skin. See skin tightening options
If you have significant weight to lose, is EmSculpt the right starting point?
EmSculpt is body sculpting, not a weight loss program. The best results come once your weight is stable. Schedule a consultation to confirm fit.
In experienced hands
EmSculpt at our Forest Hills office is performed by certified technicians who run thousands of successful sessions every year for hundreds of patients, men and women, all under the supervision of board-certified dermatologist Dr. Michael Paltiel. That volume matters: the people treating you place the applicators and dial in the protocol for your body every day, not occasionally.
What Is Emsculpt and How Does It Work?
EmSculpt is an FDA-cleared, non-surgical body-contouring treatment that uses High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to trigger supramaximal muscle contractions, the kind your body cannot achieve voluntarily. Each 30-minute session delivers the equivalent of approximately 20,000 sit-ups, squats, or curls depending on the area treated. The contractions force muscle adaptation, building density and tone while reducing the fat layer that sits over the targeted muscles [1].
Clinical imaging studies show simultaneous muscle thickening and subcutaneous fat reduction in the abdomen and buttocks after a standard treatment course [2]. Body sculpting and body contouring without exercise, surgery, or downtime.

Benefits of EmSculpt
HIFEM does one thing well: it forces muscle to do work it could not do on its own. That single mechanism unlocks both muscle-building and modest fat reduction in the same session.
Builds and tones core, glute, arm, and calf muscles that respond slowly to traditional training
Reduces fat layer over the treated muscles in clinical imaging studies [2]
Lifts and tones the buttocks non-surgically (the closest non-invasive equivalent to a Brazilian Butt Lift)
Closes diastasis recti for postpartum core recovery
Strengthens the core in patients who can't tolerate floor or weight work
30 minutes per session, no downtime, no recovery
No anesthesia, no incisions, no needles
Standard protocol: 4 sessions spaced over 2 to 4 weeks for noticeable results
What EmSculpt does is one question. Whether it's right for your body and goals is the consultation question.
Ideal Candidates for EmSculpt
EmSculpt suits patients close to their goal weight who want to build muscle definition or address core/glute concerns that traditional training hasn't fully resolved.
You're likely a good candidate if:
You're already active and want sharper muscle definition in the abdomen, glutes, arms, or calves
You have postpartum diastasis recti (abdominal separation) that core exercises haven't closed
You can't tolerate traditional ab or weight training due to back issues, joint pain, or recovery limits
You want non-surgical glute lift without injections or surgery
You've maintained your weight and want body contouring beyond fat reduction alone
EmSculpt is not appropriate for patients with metal implants in or near the treatment area (pacemakers, IUDs, defibrillators, joint replacements), pregnant patients, or patients with epilepsy. You'll need to remove all metal jewelry, gadgets, and electronics before treatment. Our provider will review your medical history at the consultation. If EmSculpt isn't right for you, we will tell you and walk you through alternatives like CoolSculpting for fat reduction without the muscle component.
Your EmSculpt Consultation
Dr. Michael Paltiel, MD, the practice's board-certified dermatologist, oversees the cosmetic program.
Your consultation runs about 20 to 30 minutes. Our certified technician will:
Assess the areas you want treated and confirm EmSculpt is the right fit (vs CoolSculpting for pure fat reduction or surgical options)
Review your medical history, any metal implants, weight stability, and contraindications
Recommend a session count (standard is 4 sessions; some patients add maintenance sessions every 3 to 6 months)
Quote your full session package up front, no surprises
If you'd rather see one of our other providers, the team includes Zina Goldvekht, PA-C, Aleksey Babakhanov, FNP, and Dr. John A. Perrotti, MD (Plastic Surgery).
Treatments That Pair Well with EmSculpt
EmSculpt builds muscle and modestly reduces fat. It does not address larger fat pockets, skin laxity, or facial concerns. Patients getting their best EmSculpt results often pair it with one or two of these:
CoolSculpting for larger fat pockets that EmSculpt's fat-reduction component doesn't address. CoolSculpting + EmSculpt is the standard non-surgical body-contouring duo: CoolSculpting takes fat down, EmSculpt builds muscle up.
Skin Tightening for patients with skin laxity in the treated area
Cellulite Removal for thigh and buttock dimpling, separate concern from muscle tone
Botox and Dermal Fillers for facial concerns at the same consult
Dr. Paltiel will recommend pairings that fit your goals.

Your EmSculpt Treatment: What to Expect
During the Procedure: An Emsculpt session at our Forest Hills office is quick and painless. You’ll lie comfortably on the exam table while our provider straps the small Emsculpt paddle device to your target area (such as your abdomen or buttocks). The treatment lasts about 30 minutes. You will feel a series of muscle contractions, some rapid, some slower and more intense. Initially, the sensation can be surprising: it’s like your muscles are working out on their own. However, it’s typically not painful. Our technician will start at a low intensity and gradually increase the power to your comfort level. Most patients adjust to the feeling quickly. There is no anesthesia or numbing needed, and you can relax (some patients read or listen to music during the treatment!).
When Will I See Results from EmSculpt?
Visible results don’t happen overnight, but they develop quickly over a few weeks. We typically recommend a series of four Emsculpt sessions, spaced about 2-3 days apart (e.g., two sessions per week for two weeks). Many patients report feeling a difference (stronger core, firmer muscles) even a few days after their first session. After completing the full series of 4 treatments, clinical studies and our experience show that you’ll notice improved muscle tone and fat reduction in the treated area within about 2 to 4 weeks. Your jeans may fit looser at the waist, or you might see more definition in the mirror. These improvements often continue to enhance for several weeks as your body builds muscle and clears away the broken-down fat cells.
Emsculpt is like doing months of workouts in just a few sessions, a true game-changer for busy individuals or those frustrated by stubborn areas. If you’re looking for the best Emsculpt treatment in Queens, you’ve come to the right place. Our board-certified dermatologist Dr. Michael Paltiel and medical aestheticians have extensive experience in cosmetic treatments, ensuring you get safe care and amazing results.
