EMSCULPT NEO Explained: Does It Really Work?

Imagine you could receive a comfortable treatment that shapes and tones your body’s most stubborn and unresponsive fat deposits while stimulating muscle growth. Recent technological advances have made this futuristic-sounding fantasy a reality. The EMSCULPT NEO applicator is an incredible treatment that combines two different technologies to melt away fat and tone muscles while you relax on a table.

Here’s everything you need to know about how EMSCULPT NEO works to help shape and transform your trouble areas.

The Latest Advancement in Body Sculpting

Many competing solutions only address one concern, but EMSCULPT NEO can simultaneously treat muscle, fat, and skin for dramatic results. This cutting-edge, FDA-approved, non-surgical body sculpting procedure uses radiofrequency and improved electromagnetic pulses to destroy fat cells and encourage efficient muscle growth. As a result, EMSCULPT NEO can stimulate more powerful muscle contractions than anyone can achieve on their own, even using professional-grade gym equipment.

The equivalent of one EMSCULPT NEO session would be spending hours doing hundreds of repetitions of a single exercise, which even fit, healthy people lack the stamina to do. The upper arms, calves, thighs, and abdomen are just a few locations that can benefit from this non-invasive body sculpting therapy.

EMSCULPT NEO offers patients the following benefits.

  • Builds muscle definition: The goal of weightlifting or resistance exercises is to create micro-tears in your muscles, which causes them to get stronger and more defined with time. EMSCULPT NEO creates the same results through radiofrequency energy and electromagnetic technology. In addition to seeing more muscle density, patients feel stronger, and their workouts have become easier.
  • Improves rectus diastasis: During pregnancy, many women develop a painful condition called rectus diastasis, or abdominal muscle separation. After delivery, these muscles often remain separated, leading to functional issues and chronic discomfort. EMSCULPT NEO can fuse these muscles back together without surgical intervention.
  • Reduce fat pockets: EMSCULPT NEO’s advanced technology allows it to reduce even more stubborn fat pockets. On average, a patient can lose 30% of fat through the combination of muscle stimulation and radiofrequency provided by this therapy.
  • Skin tightening: Radiofrequency has an incredible ability to tighten loose skin. EMSCULPT NEO uses this technology, so you don’t have to worry about sagging skin after fat removal.

How EMSCULPT NEO Works: Using HIFEM+ Energy to Build Muscle and Burn Fat

EMSCULPT NEO combines radiofrequency energy with high-intensity magnetic field energies (HIFEM+) into one inclusive treatment. Applying the device directly to the target area – such as your stomach, legs, arms, or buttocks – sends the HIFEM+ and radiofrequency energy deep into the tissues, resulting in muscle contractions that exercise alone cannot replicate.

While the energy transfers through the body, your muscle temperature starts increasing, which prepares your muscles for stress like a warmup routine. After several minutes, the subcutaneous fat reaches a temperature that induces apoptosis, or fat cell death. Through natural processes, your body will flush out these dead cells after several weeks. For optimal results, we encourage patients to undergo four to six treatments over the course of four weeks.

EMSCULPT NEO Treatment Areas: Where Can It Shape Your Body?

EMSCULPT NEO can treat several notoriously challenging areas.

  • Abdomen: Regular exercise and a healthy diet often aren’t enough to get rid of stubborn belly fat. EMSCULPT NEO can effectively tighten, strengthen, and tone the abdominal area without the need for incisions, scarring, or recovery.
  • Buttocks: The buttocks often become shapeless due to a sedentary lifestyle, hereditary issues, and age. EMSCULPT NEO can lift, tone, and tighten sagging buttocks even better than all those squats and lunges you’ve done at the gym.
  • Arms: Sometimes, it seems like no matter how many toning exercises you do, it doesn’t seem to improve flabby, sagging arms. Let EMSCULPT NEO give you the self-confidence to wear tank tops and strapless dresses again.
  • Thighs: The thighs can be a struggle to tone and slim for men and women. Many people feel like there is no solution to their cellulite dimples or fatty tissue accumulation. EMSCULPT NEO’s patented design can tone the inner and outer thigh area, build muscle, and smooth skin to produce the overall results you desire.

Am I a Good Candidate for EMSCULPT NEO? Evaluating Your Treatment Eligibility

EMSCULPT NEO is suitable for most patients who are not pregnant or nursing. Candidates should also be free of tattoos or body piercings in the treatment areas.

Patients who experience the best results from their EMSCULPT NEO sessions are already at or near their ideal weight and exercise frequently. This treatment won’t dramatically change the number you see when you step on the scale, but it can be an excellent aid in tackling the problem areas that prevent you from achieving your ideal silhouette.

EMSCULPT NEO makes it easy to get into the best shape of your life. Treatments are fast, convenient, and relaxing, with zero downtime. Some people even use this treatment to improve their athletic performance or rehab an injury that has weakened part of their body. It’s also ideal for patients who are too busy for a more invasive operation or for those who aren’t surgical candidates.

What to Expect From Your EMSCULPT NEO Treatment: From Consultation to Post-Treatment Care

The comfortable and relaxing EMSCULPT NEO process takes about 30 minutes to complete. During each session, your technician will prep the treated area before placing the electromagnetic energy device directly onto the targeted area. Initially, the device will be at its lowest setting. You will experience muscle contractions that feel like an intense massage. Your technician will check on you periodically and gradually increase the intensity, depending on your comfort level. The muscle contractions will become slower but more powerful as the device flushes out toxins and lactic acid.

There is no recovery time needed after your treatment. However, you may feel some soreness, as if you’d just completed a challenging workout. Over the next few days, feel free to stretch and move around to alleviate some of this soreness, and don’t forget to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water.

How Long Does It Take EMSCULPT NEO to Work?

Patients often report feeling increased muscle strength after their second treatment, even if their results aren’t fully visible yet. You should start seeing an improvement two to four weeks after your final treatment. You’ll likely notice your results earlier if you’re at or near your ideal weight before starting your EMSCULPT NEO treatments.

Six weeks after your final treatment session, you should see the ultimate muscle tone and toned contours of your EMSCULPT NEO sessions. Remember, fat cell death and elimination is a gradual process. Eating a healthy, nutrient-dense diet and engaging in a consistent, challenging fitness routine that includes cardio and weightlifting is an excellent way to keep your metabolism at peak performance, which can burn fat faster and help you see a difference sooner.
