The shape and support of the buttocks are influenced by a group of muscles commonly known as the glutes. These muscles play an important role in movement, strength and posture, while also contributing to overall body shape.
The Gluteus Maximus is the largest muscle in the human body and plays a key role in movement, stability and strength.
It’s our hard-working glutes that enable us to run, walk, climb, and ultimately achieve an upright posture. These muscles are covered by a layer of subcutaneous fat, which contributes to both comfort and the overall shape of the buttocks.
Throughout history, glute shape and body proportions have been featured in art, popular culture and fitness trends. Today, many people are interested in treatments that help support muscle tone and body confidence while complementing their exercise routines.
Our ‘Glutes’ are located at the posterior of the pelvic region – closely aligned with the lower back and insert into the femur. These muscles are essential in helping us move our hip joints and stabalise the pelvis so we can stand up and remain balanced.
Anyone who’s tackled a challenging workout, a long hike, a day on the slopes or even an afternoon of gardening knows just how hard the glute muscles work. It’s not unusual to feel the effects the next day.
For clients looking to support their body goals as part of a personalised treatment journey, EMSCULPT® may be one option worth exploring. Using advanced HIFEM technology, EMSCULPT works to stimulate muscle contractions in a way that complements an active lifestyle and individual body objectives. During your consultation, your SILK clinician can discuss whether this treatment aligns with your goals and where it may fit within your broader body plan.
This is where EMSCULPT® may become part of the conversation. EMSCULPT® is designed to stimulate powerful muscle contractions that would be difficult to replicate through conventional exercise alone. For clients looking to support muscle tone and definition, it offers a non-surgical treatment option that can fit conveniently into a busy schedule.
During treatment, many clients choose to read, catch up on emails or simply relax while the technology works to stimulate the targeted muscle groups. EMSCULPT will contract your glute muscles during a 30-minute session approximately 20,000 times! With that, many contractions taking place in a session, you’d expect to struggle to move after treatment. Thanks to the advanced technology known as HIFEM, lactic acid is broken down, so you don’t leave feeling sore or with muscle fatigue.
One of the reasons clients appreciate EMSCULPT® is that it can be incorporated into everyday life with minimal disruption to their usual routine.
While the technology plays an important role, results are most effective when viewed as part of a collaborative journey between you and your clinician. Your consultation helps establish realistic expectations, discuss treatment frequency and identify the approach that best supports your individual goals.
EMSCULPT has been clinically proven to increase the volume of all three glute muscles. This overall increase in muscle mass results in strengthening the glute muscles and supporting a firmer, more toned appearance.
Because every client’s body journey is unique, treatment recommendations may vary. Your SILK clinician will work with you to understand your priorities and recommend a personalised plan that supports both your immediate and long-term goals.
Many SILK clients choose EMSCULPT® as part of their broader fitness and body confidence goals. In addition to the glutes, the abdomen and upper arms are also popular treatment areas.
