EMSculpt Neo vs TruSculpt
What's The Difference Between Trusculpt® & EMSculpt Neo®?
Building muscles is a long and tedious process that requires commitment, devotion, and dedication. In the course of a workout session, the muscle fibers tear microscopically when stressed extensively. As the muscle heals, it creates new tissue to both grow in size and strength.
It often takes several weeks before seeing any results in your muscles, but fortunately, there are advanced technologies available to give you similar results to a strenuous workout within a shorter period of time.
This is performed by two technological devices - EMSculpt NEO and the TruSculpt Flex, both of which have been approved by the FDA. Both have limitations in what body parts they can treat, but they are approved for major areas that most people prefer for body sculpting.
Key Differences - Trusculpt vs EMSculpt Neo
The two devices are completely non-invasive, with miniature pain and minimal recovery time to bolster muscle tone. Unlike workouts that take months or years before a notable change can be realized, with sculpting devices, it only takes a few weeks after treatment for the results to become visible.
While the two devices are deemed muscle-sculpting treatments, it’s worth noting that they use separate mechanisms to function, and the results are different.
If you’re looking for the best non-invasive treatment to improve your figure, then look no further than EMSculpt and Trusculpt. In this post, we’ll explore the two in detail to determine which of them is more effective in muscle-building and eradicating fat.
EMSculpt Neo
The Emsculpt NEO device supplies electromagnetic energy to the muscles in the specific areas undergoing treatment, prompting them to contract. In reality, the device triggers muscles in a targeted area to contract and encounter strong stimulation like that of a high intensity workout. Plus, the Neo also provides fat reduction in addition to lean muscle sculpting. And as the top provider of
EMSculpt Neo in Houston, we highly recommend this treatment option.
How Does The EMSculpt Neo Work?
This treatment method utilizes two forms of energy (high-intensity electromagnetic energy and radio frequency waves) to target muscle and fat cells. Radio frequency applies a similar concept to a warm-up in that it generates heat in the muscles to warm them up for stress, which is the case for a warm-up right before the workout. This causes the muscles to heat up as well as the subcutaneous fat (fat layer under the skin) resulting in the death of fat cells.
Once the fat cells are eliminated, they are gradually flushed and eliminated by the body completely. The EMsculpt Neo also applies electromagnetic energy to prompt the your muscles to contract intensely (both the other muscles and inner muscles), something which is difficult even during an intense routine workout. This deep muscle contraction leads to an increase in lean muscle mass while also helping in fat reduction and body sculpting in the targeted area. Check out our
before and after gallery of clients using the Neo.
Pros of Neo
Almost No Downtime
Unlike invasive surgical procedures like liposuction, there is no recovery time required once the
EMSculpt NEO has been performed. The only possible recovery is from sore muscles which should be fully recovered in a day or two.
Eliminates Stubborn Fat
Exercise alone might not be enough to get rid of fat in certain parts of your body (love handles, lower back, thighs, etc.). This is where EMSculpt Neo can overcome that challenge, as it can reach and reduce stubborn fat and in areas that are hard to reach with the targeted radio frequency waves.
Improves Body Functionality
Since the Neo targets deep muscles for stimulation, it creates strong foundational muscles underneath the ones you see. For example, targeting your core can greatly help with overall sports endurance when you exercise in the future. With a stronger core, you can attack workouts with new zeal like never before with additional endurance.
Can Treat 9 Areas
It can be applied in 9 separate areas. This implies that it can be employed to target fat and muscle on various parts of the body, such as the thighs, abdomen, and arms. It can be applied on your buttocks if you’re looking for a non-invasive butt lift.
- abdomen
- glutes (butt)
- inner & outer thighs
- biceps
- triceps
- calves
- quads
Cons of Neo
Requires Multiple Treatments
Unlike liposuction or other invasive surgeries, EMSculpt Neo does require more than 1 treatment session. Often, it is recommended to start with 4 to receive noticeable results.
Can Take Up To 12 Weeks For Full Results
As this is a more natural approach, your body needs time to develop the growing muscles and eliminate fat. With the destruction of fat cells in your body, it can take up to 12 weeks for your body to naturally flush them out and you to see maximum results.
Can Only Treat 9 Areas
This is both a positive and negative for the EMSculpt Neo. Many clients would love to reduce stubborn fat on their lower back or should area. Unfortunately, the Neo is only certified to use on the 9 places listed. So your obliques and love handles aren't ideal target spots and neither is your chest region.
TruSculpt Flex
TruSculpt is a non-operative non-invasive treatment that uses advanced technology for cellulite therapy and fat lessening. The practitioners often use the TruSculpt flex module or hands-free panels in the course of sessions.
This treatment aims to permanently remove the subcutaneous fat or adipose tissue from the target area with a one-time treatment. This is achieved through the use of unipolar RF energy, which causes no harm to the fat’s skin and other tissues. TruSculpt penetrates past the fat cells to the muscle fibers all the way from the skin. This leads to the permanent eradication of fat cells, as it happens when you lose weight. The body naturally eliminates them.
How Does The Trusculpt Work?
This body contouring method uses electro-muscular energy with several directional stimulations to aim at certain muscle groups in the body. The electro-muscular energy offers a penetrative and more vigorous contraction compared to exercise alone. At the same time, the various directional stimulations work no differently from the manner in which our muscles contract during a physical exercise.
There are three different modes to pick from to optimally target muscle-building outcomes (prep, tone, and sculpt), which can be picked depending on the intensity of the activity that someone has right before the treatment.
Pros of Trusculpt
Personalized Approach
With three different treatment options available, Trusculpt can be catered to fit your needs. And with 8 different body parts available, it can work wonders throughout your body.
No Downtime
As with EMSculpt, the Trusculpt process has basically no downtime or recovery period to get back to normal life.
Easy Treatment Sessions
With only 30 minute treatment sessions, this process is fast and easy to squeeze in even with a busy schedule.
Cons of Trusculpt
Not FDA Approved For Fat Reduction
One of the biggest downfalls of Trusculpt is that it's technically not FDA approved for fat reduction. Since that's one main reason clients might choose it, this can be a pretty annoying drawback. The company still claims results from Trusculpt include fat reduction, but without the seal of approval from the FDA, some clients are skeptical.
Can Take Up To 12 Weeks For Full Results
As with EMSculpt, Trusculpt can take several weeks to see the full positive results. Your body takes time to adjust so be prepared to see results several weeks down the road.
Lumpy Final Appearance
In small situations, some clients have reported having a "lumpy" body part after using Trusculpt. This has not been backed by any science, but it's just reports found online from customer talking about their experience.
Final Thoughts
So, between EMSculpt NEO and TrueSculpt treatments, which is more effective for muscle toning? The two can provide exceptional body contouring results in quick treatment sessions with minimal discomfort and recovery time. While both devices are alike, when it comes to enhancing general body contour, the EMSculpt stands out.
The EMSculpt NEO makes it possible to stimulate muscle tissue beyond what is attainable with a routine workout and also the means to minimize fat in the targeted area leading to an improved body contour. If you’re seeking to build muscle mass and attain a sleeker, better-toned body, then EMSculpt Neo is all you need. And we are the top ranked provider of the Neo in Houston so
