Build Muscle & Sculpt Your Body
Are you unhappy with the way your abdomen looks even though you’ve gotten rid of excess fat around your midsection? A lot of people who have spent months dieting find that their midsection still looks a bit out of shape despite their best efforts.
This is because there are two essential aspects to an attractive abdomen. Minimal fat is one aspect, but you also need a good amount of muscle definition to have the tight and toned abdomen that you want.
At Coachlight, we can help you reach your body goals using EMSCULPT, a revolutionary piece of technology that can actually help you build muscle. The treatment is non-surgical and non-invasive, and it requires no downtime.
Our practice is the first in Iowa to offer EMSCULPT treatment.


What is EMSCULPT?
EMSCULPT is a non-invasive body contouring procedure that uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy to enhance muscle development and reduce fat. By causing muscles to contract intensely for up to six seconds, EMSCULPT encourages the growth of new muscle fibers and decreases fat cells. These contractions cause muscle fibers to strengthen and surrounding fat cells to break down and die off, mimicking the effects of an intense workout in a short period. This treatment can effectively tone areas like the abdomen and glutes and even provide a non-surgical butt lift.
Benefits of an EMSCULPT Treatment
EMSCULPT offers a revolutionary way to enhance body shape and tone your muscles. This non-invasive procedure helps burn fat and strengthens and sculpts muscle, giving you a firmer, more defined appearance.
Imagine achieving the equivalent of 20,000 crunches or squats in just one session—EMSCULPT makes it possible. It’s ideal for targeting stubborn areas like the abdomen, buttocks, thighs, and arms where traditional exercise might not be enough.
One of the standout features of EMSCULPT is the quick recovery time. Treatments can fit into your busy schedule without downtime.
How Does EMSCULPT Wocrk at Coachlight?
The key to EMSCULPT’s muscle-building power lies in its use of high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology.
The energy generated by the HIFEM technology penetrates harmlessly through the tissues to target the abdominal muscles. The HIFEM energy stimulates the muscles and causes intense contractions. These contractions are stronger than any possible through voluntary contraction of the muscles.
Over the course of the treatment at Coachlight, the intense contractions trigger a remodeling in the internal structures of the abdominal muscles. This creates larger and stronger muscles with a noticeably higher degree of definition. The treatment also helps to burn off excess fat in the targeted area, which enhances the results.
Unlike traditional methods, EMSCULPT can induce muscle contractions beyond what exercise achieves—imagine over 20,000 crunches in 30 minutes. It effectively builds muscle in targeted areas.
EMSCULPT vs. Other Treatments
EMSCULPT
FDA-Cleared for targeting the abdomen, buttocks, arms, and legs.
Benefits: Defines, tones, strengthens muscles, and reduces stubborn fat.
Mechanism: Uses Highly Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy to induce supramaximal contractions and enhance metabolic reactions, breaking down fat cells.
Muscle and Fat: Stimulates muscle hyperplasia and hypertrophy while burning fat.
CoolTone
Technology: Utilizes Magnetic Muscle Stimulation (MMS) to enhance muscle tone.
Focus: Primarily builds and strengthens muscle groups without targeting fat reduction.
Similarities
Both treatments induce powerful muscle contractions (20,000 per 30-minute session) and are non-invasive, with no pain or downtime.
CoolSculpting
Purpose: Non-invasive fat reduction using Cryolipolysis (fat cell freezing).
Focus: Targets stubborn bulges without affecting muscle mass, perfect for those focusing on fat reduction without muscle toning.
In summary, choose Emsculpt for a dual focus on muscle building and fat reduction, or CoolTone for muscle enhancement alone. CoolSculpting is ideal if your primary goal is fat reduction.

Before, During, and After
What To Expect Before a EMSCULPT Treatment
During your consultation in West Des Moines and Ankeny, you will meet with one of our Certified Advanced Estheticians in a welcoming office environment to discuss what to expect before your EMSCULPT treatment. We will listen to your goals and address any concerns you may have about the procedure. Our team will recommend the best approach for assessing the areas you wish to treat, helping you choose the most effective methods to achieve your desired results. We will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs. With our extensive experience in delivering excellent cosmetic outcomes, we will determine the precise number of sessions recommended. This customized approach ensures that you reach your goals efficiently and effectively.
What To Expect During a EMSCULPT Treatment
During an EMSCULPT treatment, you’ll lie comfortably in a doctor’s chair as our certified technician positions a handheld applicator in your target area. You’ll experience intense muscle contractions that mimic the sensations of a strenuous workout but without pain. These contractions are interspersed with restful periods, all within a session that lasts about 30 minutes per area.
What To Expect After a EMSCULPT Treatment
After your EMSCULPT session, you might experience muscle soreness or fatigue, like a strenuous workout. This is completely normal and typically subsides within a few days. Most people find they can resume their regular activities immediately after treatment. You’ll likely notice muscle tone improvement and fat reduction after the session. However, the most noticeable results usually emerge following a series of treatments.
