Tackling perimenopause can feel like an uphill battle, especially when you’re dealing with unexpected weight gain. It’s a frustrating reality for many women, but it doesn’t have to be a permanent one.
In this blog, we’ll explore how treatments like EMSCULPT® offer a non-invasive way to tone muscles, build strength, and fight off difficult pockets of fat, helping you regain control and confidence in your body. Let’s read below:
Why Does Perimenopause Cause Weight Gain?
Perimenopause is something every woman will experience in her life. It is a transitional period leading up to menopause, and can begin as early as your mid-30s or as late as your mid-50s.
Perimenopause can last for several years. During this time, your body’s hormone production (especially estrogen) starts to fluctuate, and then slowly declines as you’re approaching menopause. This massive change in hormone levels can often lead to noticeable effects, such as muscle loss and disproportionate weight gain around the abdomen.
For many women, these changes can come out of nowhere, so if you’re feeling less confident or disconnected from your own body, just know you are not alone.
How to Combat Perimenopause Weight Gain
Another thing many women will agree on is the fact that the weight they gained during perimenopause is incredibly stubborn. Still, there are things you can do to combat this weight gain:
A Healthy Diet Goes A Long Way
A low-calorie or a low-carb diet could do wonders in helping you lose those extra pounds, but not only that. It can help you manage blood pressure and cholesterol, improve your heart health, and lower the risk of type 2 diabetes.
You should focus on nutrient-dense foods, like fruits and veggies, whole grains, and lean protein sources like fish and poultry. A higher fibre intake can also help you feel fuller for longer, reducing appetite and calorie intake.
You should also try to limit processed foods and sugary drinks as much as possible, without fully restricting yourself.
Exercise
Regular physical activity can also help you manage your perimenopausal weight. This can include anything from brisk walking and jogging to swimming, weight training, aerobics, cycling, and even playing team sports. It’s important to find activities you enjoy, so you’ll want to stick to your exercise routine.
What To Do When Standard Weight Management Methods Don’t Work?
Perimenopause brings lots of changes, and the initial response for many is to put a lot of effort into dieting and exercising.
However, you may have found that these traditional methods are no longer as effective as they once were. This is a common and difficult reality, as the hormonal shifts of perimenopause slow your metabolism and contribute to a loss of muscle mass, making it much harder to shed pounds.
While you should still make sure to pursue a healthy lifestyle, you might benefit from a more targeted approach to effectively combat perimenopause weight gain.
EMSCULPT®: A Game-Changer for Perimenopause Weight Loss
For those seeking a non-invasive solution for those extra pounds that just won’t shed, EMSCULPT® offers a promising alternative. Unlike other treatments that only target fat, EMSCULPT® is unique in its ability to build muscle and burn fat simultaneously, which is exactly what you need to combat the weight gain of perimenopause.
How Does EMSCULPT® Work?
EMSCULPT® is a body contouring treatment which uses something called HIFEM technology, or High Intensity Focused Electromagnetic Technology, which induces powerful muscle contractions. These are often known as supramaximal contractions and help you with both muscle building and melting away belly fat cells.
This type of muscular contraction can’t be achieved through traditional exercise – it directly stimulates the nerves that control the muscles, leading to more effective fat loss in those targeted areas.
“84% of clients say that EMSCULPT® is ‘worth it,’ voted by RealSelf as ‘Most worth it’ non-surgical, body sculpting treatment.”
Today, multiple clinical studies back EMSCULPT® treatments and show that only 4 sessions can lead to:
- 19 % reduction in abdominal fat
- 15 % increase in abdominal muscle,
- 10 % decrease in muscle separation (diastasis).

How Can EMSCULPT® Help with Perimenopause Weight Gain?
The benefits of EMSCULPT® are directly aligned with the challenges of perimenopause. By building muscle, EMSCULPT® helps boost your metabolism & effectively tones the core, directly addressing the accumulation of abdominal fat.
Beyond aesthetics, strengthening your core muscles offers functional benefits that contribute to your overall well-being.
How Do EMSCULPT® Treatments Stand Up To Traditional Workouts?
- EMSCULPT® creates the same results for your abdominal muscles as 20,000 sit-ups in 30 minutes.
- Clients have seen a 16% average increase in muscle mass and an average of 19% in fat reduction.
- EMSCULPT® creates the same results for your glutes as 20,000 squats in 30 minutes. There are no squats needed for a significant bum lift, and there’s no downtime.

What To Expect From An EMSCULPT® Treatment?
According to many of our satisfied customers, EMSCULPT® is a straightforward and comfortable experience. The treatment itself:
- Is non-invasive
- Requires no downtime
- Allows you to return to your daily activities immediately
A typical course of treatment consists of four 30-minute sessions over a two-week period. While you may feel a similar sensation to an intense workout, the process is generally well-tolerated. Results typically become visible a few weeks after your final session and continue to improve over time.
What Other Benefits Can You Get from EMSCULPT®?
Beyond the physical transformation, EMSCULPT® can lead to a profound boost in confidence. Feeling stronger and seeing tangible results can restore a sense of control over your body, significantly improving your mental and emotional well-being during a time of great change.
