How does EmSculpt NEO work?

What is EmSculpt NEO?

EmSculpt NEO is a cutting-edge, non-invasive body contouring treatment that combines two advanced technologies—high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy and radiofrequency (RF) heating. This dual-action approach simultaneously builds muscle and reduces fat, providing comprehensive body sculpting results.

How Does EmSculpt NEO Work?

1. Muscle Stimulation with HIFEM:EmSculpt NEO uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy to induce supramaximal muscle contractions. These contractions are much more intense than what can be achieved through voluntary exercise. During a 30-minute session, the muscles undergo the equivalent of approximately 20,000 contractions, helping to build strength and tone.

2. Fat Reduction with RF Heating:The device also incorporates radiofrequency energy to heat the fat layer beneath the skin. The heat raises the temperature of the fat cells to approximately 42–43°C, triggering a process called apoptosis (fat cell death). Over the next several weeks, the body naturally metabolizes and eliminates these damaged fat cells.

3. Synergistic Effects:By combining HIFEM and RF technologies, EmSculpt NEO delivers a dual benefit—muscle growth and fat reduction in a single treatment session.

What Areas Can EmSculpt NEO Target?

The treatment is FDA-cleared for the following areas:

• Abdomen

• Buttocks

• Arms

• Thighs

• Calves

Treatment Process

1. Consultation and Assessment: During the initial consultation, we will evaluate the areas of concern, assess muscle tone, and discuss your goals.

2. Application of the Device: The EmSculpt NEO applicator is positioned over the target area. Once activated, the device delivers both HIFEM and RF energy simultaneously.

3. Sensation During Treatment: Patients typically feel intense muscle contractions and warmth during the session. While the contractions are strong, they are not painful, and the warmth is similar to a hot stone massage.

4. Session Duration and Frequency: Each treatment session lasts approximately 30 minutes. For optimal results, a series of four sessions, spaced 5–10 days apart, is recommended.

Expected Outcomes

• Muscle Building: Clinical studies show an average 25% increase in muscle mass in the treated area after a complete course of treatments.

• Fat Reduction:On average, EmSculpt NEO can achieve a 30% reduction in fat thickness in the treated area.

• Timeline for Results: Initial results can be noticeable within 2–4 weeks after the final session, with continued improvement over the following months as the body eliminates dead fat cells and the muscles grow stronger.

Scientific Basis The effectiveness of EmSculpt NEO is backed by clinical research:

• HIFEM technology triggers muscle adaptations such as hypertrophy (increase in muscle size) and hyperplasia (increase in muscle fibers).

• RF heating accelerates fat cell destruction through precise thermal energy, which has been shown to improve overall body contour.

These mechanisms work together to provide results that were previously only achievable through separate treatments or invasive procedures.

Who is Suitable for EmSculpt NEO? Candidates should:

• Be close to their ideal body weight.

• Have a BMI of up to 35 (higher than traditional fat-reduction treatments allow).

• Seek to enhance muscle tone, reduce fat, or both.

EmSculpt NEO is not a weight-loss solution but a body-contouring treatment designed to refine and enhance specific areas.

Potential Side Effects

• Common: Muscle soreness, temporary redness, or warmth in the treated area. These effects are similar to what might be experienced after a vigorous workout.

• Rare: Slight skin irritation from the RF energy, which typically resolves quickly.

The procedure is safe, with no downtime required.

Aftercare Recommendations

• Drink plenty of water to support the body’s natural fat elimination process.

• Maintain an active lifestyle to sustain and complement the results.

• Follow any specific guidance from your technician

Key Advantages of EmSculpt NEO

• Builds muscle and reduces fat simultaneously.

• Non-invasive and requires no recovery time.

• Effective for individuals with a higher BMI compared to similar treatments.

• Scientifically proven to deliver consistent and measurable results.

EmSculpt NEO is an advanced body contouring solution for patients looking to achieve both fat reduction and muscle enhancement without surgery. Speak with one of our trained technicians  to determine if EmSculpt NEO aligns with your body goals.
