There are many new treatments out there aimed at eliminating fat and sculpting the body, but only EMSCULPT NEO can effectively build muscle at the same time. EMSCULPT NEO® is helping people everywhere finally accomplish their fitness goals. Completely non-surgical and non-invasive, this treatment will not take you away from your normal daily routine. You will be able to build muscle while losing fat on your abdomen and buttocks.
This procedure involves using two different modalities to sculpt the body. Electromagnetic (hence the "EM" in "EMSCULPT") energy (HIFEM) to trigger muscle contractions. These are not your average muscle contractions, however. They are called supramaximal contractions. One quick session of EMSCULPT NEO® is equivalent to doing over 20,000 squats or sit-ups!
The original EMSCULPT was introduced in 2019 with 9 scientific studies showing its effectiveness. These showed increased muscle and decreased fat on ultrasound, CT and MRI studies in addition to body measurments. Then RF was added to the device, further magnifying the results both in fat loss and muscle gain.
Radiofrequency (RF) is used to heat the fat and muscles. This causes permanent damage to the fat cells, resulting in fat cell death. The heat also affects the muscles so that the effect of HIFEM on the muscles is maximized.
These intense contractions trigger the release of fatty acids, just like with exercise, only on a much bigger scale. When this happens, fat deposits are broken down. The wear and tear also will cause your body to rebuild your muscles, only stronger than before. As a result, you will feel that same satisfying soreness after EMSCULPT NEO® as you do after a particularly intense workout.
In order to achieve your body goals, you will likely need at least 4 sessions of this treatment. Most people benefit from a series of treatments that are done twice a week for two weeks. Once you have reached your goals, it is important to maintain your exercise routine in order to keep them.
This is an incredibly popular treatment for many reasons. Some of the highlights include:
Surprisingly, no! At first, it feels intense, and then you get used to it. Over the 30 minutes of the treatment, it starts to feel good. By the end of it, you find yourself craving more. Then you find yourself looking forward to the next treatment! Some people are sore the next day, as you do after a good workout.
No! Most people feel stronger within a day or two of the treatment. Though there is often some soreness for a day or two, there is no limitation on activity.
The primary reason to have this treatment done is to build muscle and slim down the fat. Any weight loss that occurs at the same time should be viewed as a bonus (it is not a weight loss program). As a result, this treatment is for people who are near their body goals but could use a boost. It is great for people who feel like their results with exercise have stalled. We have also seen Emsculpt neo be a great adjunct to medical weight loss with Tirzepatide, especially as you near your goal weight.
