What is EMSCULPT NEO?
EMSCULPT NEO® is the world’s first non-invasive body sculpting procedure that eliminates fat and builds muscle in a single treatment. It combines two therapies—radiofrequency for fat reduction and HIFEM+® energy for muscle stimulation—to deliver enhanced body contouring results.
How does EMSCULPT NEO work?
EMSCULPT NEO uses synchronized radiofrequency and HIFEM+® technology to heat and destroy fat cells while simultaneously contracting muscles. This dual action leads to:
- +25% average increase in muscle mass
- −30% average decrease in fat
These results are based on clinical studies using MRI, CT, and ultrasound evaluations.
What areas of the body can be treated?
Common treatment areas include:
- Abdomen
- Buttocks
- Arms
- Thighs
- Calves
Consult our providers for specific treatment eligibility.
How many sessions are required?
The typical protocol includes 4 sessions of 30 minutes each, spaced about 1 week apart. This is roughly equivalent to 12–16 weeks of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) in terms of muscle conditioning.
When will I see results?
Most patients start noticing results 2 to 4 weeks after the last treatment session. Results continue to improve for several weeks beyond that timeframe.
Is the treatment painful?
No. EMSCULPT NEO is a non-invasive procedure with no needles, no anesthesia, and no downtime. Patients typically describe the feeling as intense muscle contractions with a warming sensation, similar to a hot stone massage.
Are there any side effects or downtime?
There is no downtime associated with EMSCULPT NEO. After the session, you can resume normal activities immediately. Mild muscle soreness, similar to a post-workout feeling, may occur.
Is it suitable for everyone?
EMSCULPT NEO is intended for individuals with a BMI up to 35 who are looking to reduce fat and tone muscles. It works on a wide range of body types, but it’s important to consult a licensed provider to confirm suitability.
What’s the science behind it?
EMSCULPT NEO is backed by:
- 30+ peer-reviewed HIFEM studies
- 7 peer-reviewed EMSCULPT NEO-specific studies
MRI scans have confirmed measurable fat reduction and muscle increase in patients.
How does EMSCULPT NEO compare to traditional exercise?
While traditional exercise is essential for overall health, EMSCULPT NEO can achieve results that are difficult or impossible to replicate in the gym, particularly when it comes to targeted fat reduction and deep muscle toning.
