emsculpt neo FAQ

EMSCULPT NEO is the first and only non-invasive body sculpting procedure that uses radiofrequency heating for fat reduction and high intensity focused electromagnetic energy (HIFEM®) for muscle strengthening and toning in a 30-minute session. 

EMSCULPT NEO is based on an applicator simultaneously emitting synchronized RF and HIFEM+ energies. Due to the radiofrequency heating, the muscle temperature quickly raises by several degrees. This prepares muscles for exposure to stress, similar to what a warm up activity does before any workout. In less than 4 minutes, the temperature in subcutaneous fat reaches levels that cause apoptosis, i.e. fat cells are permanently damaged and slowly removed from the body. Clinical studies showed on average a 30% reduction in subcutaneous fat. Bypassing the brain limitations, HIFEM+ energy contracts 100% of the muscle fibers in the area at intensities that are not achievable during voluntary workout. Extreme stress forces the muscle to adapt, resulting in an increase in the number and growth of muscle fibers and cells. On average the muscle volume increases by 25%. 

EMSCULPT NEO can be applied over the abdomen, buttocks, thighs (quads, hamstrings, inner and outer),  calves biceps & triceps. 

Yes! EMSCULPT NEO and the embedded high intensity magnetic field (HIFEM) technology has been clinically tested for safety and efficacy through seven clinical studies and is FDA approved. Moreover, 30 scientific publications make HIFEM the most intensively researched body contouring technology since its introduction in 2018. 

If you can benefit from less fat and more muscle, EMSCULPT NEO procedure may be a great fit. Ask any EMSCULPT NEO provider for more details. 

EMSCULPT NEO procedure is simple and easy. There is no pre-preparation required for this procedure, although extra hydration is recommended. Specifically, we recommend 1 ounce daily for every ½ pound of weight for 72 hours prior to the procedure. You will lay down while the applicators are applied over the treatment area for 30 minutes. During the treatment you may feel intense yet tolerable muscle contractions along with heating sensation which is comparable to hot stone massage. Once the procedure is completed, you can immediately get back to your daily routine.  A typical treatment series consist of 4 to 6 treatments every 5 to 7 days.  

Each patient’s results may vary.  Some visible changes may occur even before you complete your initial 4 treatment sessions, but the best time to see the final results is 3 months after the last treatment. 

The loss of the fat cells are permanent. Through an unhealthy diet, other fat cells on the body may continue to enlarge, but the loss of the fat cells in the treated area will permanently affect the distribution of fat on the body. 

Patients with Diastasis Recti can undergo EMSCULPT NEO. On average, patients in clinical studies have seen a 19% improvement.
