Get Summer Body Ready: CoolSculpting & EmSculpt in Cambridge

With summer just around the corner, many men & women begin to look for non-surgical ways to tone up, feel more confident in their clothes, and sculpt those stubborn areas that just won’t shift. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. At Cambridge Laser Clinic, two of our most in-demand treatments, CoolSculpting and EmSculpt, offer a powerful, non-invasive way to slim, sculpt and strengthen, all without downtime.

 

What is CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting is a clinically proven fat reduction treatment that uses controlled cooling technology to freeze and destroy fat cells. Once destroyed, these fat cells are naturally flushed out by the body over the following weeks. It’s a targeted approach, ideal for areas like the abdomen, thighs, flanks, arms and under the chin.

Does CoolSculpting actually work?

Yes! When performed by experienced clinicians using genuine FDA-approved CoolSculpting technology (not cheaper copycat machines), the results can be significant. Studies show an average 20-25% reduction of fat in treated areas after just one session. Most clients begin to see visible changes after four weeks, with full results at around 12 weeks.

We see great results in our clinic, particularly in women aged 40-65 who are near their ideal weight but want to shift fat pockets that don’t respond to diet or exercise.

 

How long does CoolSculpting last?

Here’s the good news – CoolSculpting results are long-lasting. Fat cells destroyed by cryolipolysis do not return. However, if your lifestyle changes drastically (poor diet, weight gain, lack of exercise), new fat cells can form in untreated areas. So while it’s not a weight loss treatment, it’s perfect for contouring once you’ve already worked on your health.

 

What is EmSculpt?

EmSculpt is the only body contouring procedure that builds muscle and burns fat simultaneously. Using High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy, it triggers powerful muscle contractions that simply can’t be achieved through voluntary exercise. In just one 30-minute session, your muscles experience the equivalent of 20,000 crunches or squats.

 

Does EmSculpt permanently remove fat?

The intense contractions stimulate both muscle growth and fat apoptosis (cell death), so the fat loss is permanent, assuming you maintain a stable weight. However, the muscle toning aspect requires maintenance sessions every few months, depending on your goals.

Most clients at our Cambridge clinic use EmSculpt to target:

• Abdomen 
• Buttocks 
• Thighs 
• Arms 

It’s especially beneficial post-menopause when natural muscle tone starts to decline. Clients aged 50+ love that EmSculpt helps rebuild lost strength and definition, without spending hours in the gym.

 

Can you get results from EmSculpt and CoolSculpting together?

Absolutely, and this is where the magic really happens…

When used in combination, CoolSculpting eliminates the fat, while EmSculpt strengthens the underlying muscles. Think of it like this: CoolSculpting removes the bulk, EmSculpt refines and lifts. For clients looking for a truly sculpted, firmer silhouette, the two treatments work together beautifully.

In our clinic, we often design combined treatment plans tailored to each body. For instance, a client might have CoolSculpting on the flanks and abdomen, then EmSculpt on the abs to enhance muscle tone. The result is a smoother, tighter midsection – perfect for summer clothing and swimwear confidence.

 

Who is it for?

These treatments are ideal for men and women aged 35 to 75 who:

• Are close to their ideal weight 
• Have localised pockets of fat 
• Struggle with muscle tone, especially post-baby or post-menopause 
• Want visible results without surgery or downtime 

They’re not substitutes for a healthy lifestyle, but they are powerful tools to enhance what you already have.

 

What to Expect During Treatment

Both treatments are fast and non-invasive.

• CoolSculpting takes 35-60 minutes per area. You may feel a cold sensation and slight tugging during the session, but it’s not painful. 
• EmSculpt lasts 30 minutes per session. You’ll feel intense muscle contractions, like a workout, but with no discomfort. 

There’s no downtime, no needles, and no anaesthetic. You can return to work or your usual activities straight after.

 

How Many Sessions Do You Need?

This depends on your goals and starting point.

• CoolSculpting: 1-2 sessions per area 
• EmSculpt: A course of 4 sessions over 2 weeks for optimal muscle results, with top-ups every 3-6 months 

Our expert clinicians at Cambridge Laser Clinic will advise you on the best course during your consultation.
