Achieving your desired body contour is a challenge for many reasons. Stubborn areas of fat can make it difficult to appreciate your progress, and it can be difficult to achieve the muscle definition you want by diet and gym alone. EMSCULPT NEO® targets these concerns for more sculpted muscles and a slimmer shape.
What is EMSCULPT NEO® for Body Sculpting?
While you have many options for body contouring, EMSCULPT NEO® is unique for several reasons. While other treatments usually target fat, this one offers a combination of energy types that break down fat cells and stimulate your muscles to build tone, definition and strength. EMSCULPT NEO® is a dual-purpose body sculpting tool that offers significant improvements in your most stubborn problem areas.
How Does EMSCULPT NEO® Work?
EMSCULPT NEO® uses HIFEM® (High-Intensity Focused ElectroMagnetic) technology. Electromagnetic energy stimulates your muscles to contract more deeply than you could ever do voluntarily, and this treatment makes them contract up to 20,000 times within your 30-minute session. Treatment mimics your body’s natural muscle-building process but speeds it up dramatically so you can see results in much less time.
At the same time, the rapid muscle activity helps break down the surrounding fat cells, eliminating layers of surface fat so the area looks slimmer and your newly sculpted muscles become more visible. The fat removal effect is more effective and noticeable for those who are close to their target weight with a few problem areas.
How Many EMSCULPT NEO® Sessions Will I Need?
Building muscles in the gym takes consistent effort, and while this treatment provides results much more quickly, you will still need several sessions to see your best results. The standard protocol for EMSCULPT NEO® treatments is four sessions, each one week apart.
While the results of your muscle sculpting will become noticeable within one or two sessions, fat removal takes more time. Your body filters away the damaged fat cells over a few months. In areas where you prefer not to remove fat, especially the buttocks, EMSCULPT NEO® can be used without significant heat to provide lift, tone, and shape without surgery.
Most people will benefit from maintenance sessions every six months to one year, depending on the area, your body’s natural responses, and how consistently you exercise your newly toned muscles between treatments. Maintaining your strength and results with your regular workouts is also important for long term improvement.
Am I a Good Candidate for EMSCULPT NEO®?
The electromagnetic energy used by EMSCULPT NEO® is safe for most people, although it is not recommended for those with pacemakers or some other medical devices. Also, Emsculpt Neo cannot be performed near metal joints, rods or plates in the body. The procedure is best avoided near areas of hernia repair with mesh. Ideal candidates are close to their goal weight and are physically active but have resistant areas that they struggle with. Good areas for body sculpting include:
- Abdomen
- Thighs
- Buttocks
- Arms
- Flanks
These areas can be treated for muscle definition with fat removal, or people without excess fat can use it for muscle sculpting only.
