What Is EMSculpt® Neo?
EMSculpt® Neo is a revolutionary new treatment option for people looking to sculpt and shape their bodies. It's completely non-invasive and provides no downtime after treatment. Often clients see results from as little as 4 treatments and within weeks after the final treatment.
EMSculpt Neo is FDA-Approved and has been tested in 7 clinical trials across the USA.
The machine helps stimulate muscle activity and muscle growth while also providing infrared heat to melt fat away from stubborn areas of your body.
What Body Areas Can I Treat?
EMSculpt® Neo can be used on several areas of the body including abdomen, glutes (butt), thighs, biceps, triceps and calves. It is recommended to have at least 4 sessions of EMSculpt Neo to see the results that most patients want.
Does EMSculpt Neo Hurt?
No not at all. The applicators are attached via velcro straps and when the machine operates, you will feel it. The radio waves will give a warm sensation (much like a hot stone massage), and the energy intensity will cause muscle contractions much like an intense workout. You should never feel uncomfortable, but if you do, the process can be paused.
What Happens During A Session?
You will either lay on a padded bench or sit in a comfortable chair depending on what body areas are being treated. The applicator will be attached to you and then the device is turned on. The EMScuplt Neo device will emit Radio waves and High Intensity Electromagnetic Energy (HIFEM) to cause your muscles to contract rapidly. The radio waves cause warming sensations as your body melts fat and stimulates muscle growth. You will feel like you're having an intense workout on your muscles. Each session lasts 30 minutes.
How Long Until I See Results?
You will begin to feel the results from EMSculpt Neo quickly after the first session. Your body will feel stronger and tighter. Muscle building usually occurs within 2-4 weeks of your final session. The building process can even extend beyond this for many clients. Fat reduction takes longer as your body needs to flush out the destroyed cells (can be up to 12 weeks). That's why we recommend a 12-week follow up appointment to check your before and after results.
Who is a Good Candidate For This?
EMSculpt® Neo is ideal for clients looking to improve their body shape and contour to have a more chiseled and sculpted look. The device and treatment package has been FDA Approved for certain areas of the body and are cleared for use in all clients who have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 35 or less. This makes it widely available to a large population base here in Houston. Talk with our doctor to learn more and see if this treatment would be a good fit for you!
How does the EMSculpt Neo Compare To Other Body Contouring?
Well, we've done some extensive research and come to the conclusion that the Neo is probably the best body sculpting and contouring device on the market. Since it's more natural than other options, it provides high quality results. Many people ask to compare things like EMSculpt Neo versus Coolsculpting or maybe they've done more research and want to see EMSculpt Neo vs Trusculpt. We've broken down some key similarities and differences on other pages so check them out.
Is EMSculpt Neo FDA Approved?
Yes, the EMSculpt Neo device is FDA (Food & Drug Administration) approved for treatment on your abdomen, butt, arms, thighs and calves. That means it is only certified to be used on those body parts and should not be used on other areas.
Is The Fat Loss Permanent?
Yes, the fat loss from EMSculpt Neo is permanent as long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle afterward. The fat cells are destroyed from the RF process and are completely flushed out of the body within 10-12 weeks. That is why it's recommended to do a full analysis 12 weeks after your final session with the Neo.
