About Emsculpt NEO

Emsculpt NEO combines radiofrequency (RF) heating and high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy to heat the fat cells to a precise temperature that causes them to break down. This energy combination also targets the muscles with thousands of intense muscle contractions. When these energies work simultaneously, they cause the body to naturally flush out the destroyed fat cells and the muscle fibers to grow larger and stronger.

Radiofrequency energy works by using low-frequency electromagnetic waves to heat deep skin layers. The heat instantly causes existing fibers of collagen to contract and tighten while also stimulating a long-term boost in production of fresh collagen and elastin. (1)

High-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy uses a non-invasive electromagnetic field to trigger powerful muscle contractions that regular exercise does not achieve. It uses a specialized device that rapidly contracts a targeted muscle group, such as the buttocks and abdomen. The magnetic energy passes through the skin and fat, creating an electric current that stimulates nerves. This action is equivalent to doing 20,000 crunches or squats. (2)

Benefits

Emsculpt NEO delivers transformative results. Under the care of the 17Medspa team, patients can:

  • Permanently burn stubborn fat cells
  • Define muscle and increase tone
  • Firm and tighten skin
  • Reduce body fat
  • Enhance self-confidence

Candidates

If your goal is to build muscle and reduce body fat without the need for surgery or invasive procedures, and if you are close to your goal physique but have areas needing better definition, Emsculpt NEO may be the ideal procedure for you. Additionally, if you have stubborn fat that does not respond well to exercise or diet; if you are postpartum and want to restore core strength and muscle separation; or if you are on a weight loss journey and want to enhance muscle tone, this treatment can greatly benefit you. To qualify for treatment, you must also be in relatively good health and have realistic expectations for your results.

Personal Consultation

During your personal consultation, one of our expert team members will evaluate your medical history and discuss your treatment goals. They will also perform a physical examination to identify the areas that will benefit most. After gathering the necessary information, they will tailor a treatment plan to your unique anatomy and body sculpting goals.

Our team will address any questions or concerns you may have about your treatment. Our goal is for you to understand the procedure steps in detail and feel prepared for your Emsculpt NEO treatment. To schedule your consultation, contact us online or call any of our offices at:

Preparation

Effectively preparing for your Emsculpt NEO treatment helps to optimize results. We advise you to:

  • Increase your hydration levels
  • Wear loose and comfortable clothing to your procedure
  • Ensure your skin is clean, free of skincare, sunscreen, or makeup
  • Avoid heavy meals, alcohol, and caffeine before your treatment
  • Remove all jewelry or piercings ahead of time

Procedure

At the start of your procedure, you will lie down comfortably. Next, your treatment specialist will place the Emsculpt NEO machine over your abdomen, buttocks, or thighs and secure the applicators in place. They will activate the device, and you will feel a warm sensation like a hot stone massage from the radiofrequency. You will also feel your muscles contract from the electromagnetic energy. The device will change contraction patterns to work the muscles and target the deeper skin layers. The total duration of your treatment will be about 30 minutes.

Recovery

Immediately after your procedure, you may feel mild muscle soreness, similar to how your body feels after an intense workout session, or mild redness on the treatment areas. However, you may return to your normal activities right away, as this treatment does not require any necessary downtime. You should remember to stay hydrated, rest your muscles, and avoid heavy lifting for at least 48 hours and maintain healthy habits to preserve your results.

Results

Your Emsculpt NEO treatment will increase muscle volume and reduce fat in the treated areas. (3) You will be able to notice a flatter stomach and a tighter core, a lifted and firmer appearance in your buttocks area, sculpted thighs, and more defined biceps and triceps. Although significant improvements are achievable after one session, additional Emsculpt NEO treatments help patients build the muscle strength and tone they desire. On average, patients see the best results with four 30-minute sessions scheduled one week apart. Our team will help you determine the right regimen for your goals.

Corresponding Procedures

BodyFX and MiniFX

BodyFX and MiniFX can melt away hard-to-lose fat with advanced radiofrequency energy. These procedures emit energy deep into subdermal layers to reach and reduce subcutaneous fat tissue. They are most effective at targeting fat on the love handles, arms, and thighs. Alongside Emsculpt NEO, these two procedures build underlying muscles and reduce fat while smoothing the skin and tightening loose tissue.

TruSculptID

TruSculptID is a personalized body sculpting solution that uses RF technology to slim the abdominal area and reduce fat in the flanks. It delivers smooth results without the need for anesthesia or downtime. TruSculptID reduces the fat layer, and Emsculpt NEO strengthens and defines the muscles underneath to create a toned and defined musculature.

Fat Dissolving Injections

A fat-dissolving injection can help you achieve a slimmer and leaner appearance without the need for liposuction. This treatment is effective at reducing a double chin, creating a sharper jawline, and shaping a more slender facial profile. You should space out this treatment with Emsculpt NEO, as fat-dissolving injections cause tenderness, and you must allow the area to heal completely before applying the intense heat and deep muscle contractions of Emsculpt NEO.

Cost of Emsculpt NEO in West Hollywood and Southern California

The total cost of your Emsculpt NEO treatment will vary depending on the areas you target, how many sessions you undergo, your final goals, whether you include any additional procedures, and more. Our team will provide you with a detailed cost outline during your personal consultation. Contact us online or call any of our offices to schedule a consultation and learn more about your treatment cost.

FAQ

What does Emsculpt NEO target?

Emsculpt NEO can target a wide range of body areas, including the abdomen, glutes, arms, and legs. In each target zone, it will emit RF and HIFEM energies to burn fat and contract the muscles, achieving the results of several intense workouts in 30 minutes.

What are the benefits of Emsculpt NEO?

Emsculpt NEO can permanently reduce stubborn fat cells in the body, create firmer and smoother skin, and define muscle while increasing its volume.

Can Emsculpt NEO help tone muscle and eliminate the need for the gym?

Emsculpt NEO can tone muscle and reduce fat in many areas of the body, but it does not eliminate the need for the gym, as it only targets specific zones and does not condition the entire body or build overall strength. As with any procedure, results are best achieved and maintained with a healthy lifestyle and regular exercise.

Are the results from Emsculpt NEO permanent?

Emsculpt NEO can deliver partially permanent results, as fat cells will be destroyed with the heat and will not return, but the muscle-building effects are not permanent and require ongoing maintenance.

How many sessions of Emsculpt NEO will I need?

Ideally, four sessions of Emsculpt NEO are the average for maximizing results. The entire initial course takes about four weeks to complete, as sessions are spaced 5 to 10 days apart. The 17Medspa team will estimate how many sessions you may require to achieve your goals.
