For many people, the idea of achieving the same results from an intense workout while lying down and not lifting a weight may sound too good to be true. However, EMSCULPT® and EMSCULPT NEO® do just that. These revolutionary treatments not only build muscle, but they reduce fat, and the best part is that the results can be long lasting and even permanent. Unlike many other body-contouring procedures, EMSCULPT® and EMSCULPT NEO® do not require any invasive procedure but instead, use science to help patients achieve the body physique and tone that they desire. With all that being said, however, it can be hard to truly understand how EMSCULPT® and EMSCULPT NEO® actually work. Below, we will help answer those questions to allow you the chance to better understand how these treatments can help you achieve the body of your dreams.
What Is EMSCULPT®?
EMSCULPT® is the first and only cosmetic treatment that can build muscle while reducing fat in your body. This treatment uses HIFEM™ (High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic) energy to create rapid contractions in targeted muscles. It is estimated that a 30-minute EMSCULPT® session can cause up to 20,000 muscle contractions. This is the same as doing 20,000 curls or crunches or leg lifts within 30 minutes. The only difference is that you can lay back and relax while your muscles go to work. Not only do your muscles become bigger and stronger from this treatment, but fat within the targeted area is burned off. And what makes this process of fat reduction even better is that the fat is destroyed through lipolysis, which is the natural means by which exercise eliminates fat from the body. And to make things even better, once this fat is destroyed, it is permanently gone from your body.
EMSCULPT® is a painless and effective treatment that does not require any anesthesia or topical ointment. For this procedure, you will lay back on a table while the EMSCULPT® applicator is applied to the target area of your body. The HIFEM™ energy will be directed to the muscles, and after the treatment session is complete, you will be able to return to your normal, daily activities without any need for downtime or recovery.
What Is EMSCULPT NEO®?
EMSCULPT NEO® is the next step in the evolution of body-contouring treatments. Not only does EMSCULPT NEO® require a shorter session time, but it can create tighter and more youthful skin. This skin tightening is the result of the RF energy, which heats the subcutaneous tissue to stimulate collagen and elastin production. These proteins work together to strengthen and tighten the skin, resulting in toned muscles and toned skin.

How Many Treatments Do I Need To Achieve Optimal Results?
Though you will be able to notice slight improvements to your body contours, to achieve ideal results, it is recommended that patients receive six 30-minute sessions spaced two to three days apart over the course of three weeks. Two additional sessions should be scheduled six to eight weeks later. Your specific treatment plan will be discussed with you during your consultation with one of our EMSCULPT® professionals.
How to Maintain Your Results?
One of the most common misconceptions for many patients after their body-contouring procedures is that they will not need any kind of maintenance to keep their stunning results. Just like world-class athletes who train for years and years, once they stop exercising, their bodies will readjust and lose the tone, muscle, and physique that they have built. So, it is important to understand that you need to actively maintain your results with a healthy lifestyle.
Exercise
EMSCULPT® and EMSCULPT NEO® may be able to tone and build your muscle in as little as one treatment, but you will need to continue an active lifestyle so as to maintain your new and toned physique. Lifting weights, yoga, and cardiovascular workouts should be performed regularly to keep your muscles toned and your body healthy.
Diet
Since you were young, you have been told about the benefits of eating a healthy diet, and this is especially true after your EMSCULPT® or EMSCULPT NEO® treatments. Staying hydrated with plenty of water and watching the foods you eat can help you maintain your stunning results for as long as you desire. It is important that you eat plenty of protein and fiber while limiting the amount of processed foods and empty carbs that you consume.
What Can I Expect?
Once you have completed all of your scheduled EMSCULPT® or EMSCULPT NEO® treatments, you can look forward to a more toned, fit, and contoured physique. While many people find themselves feeling self-conscious about their bodies, after your EMSCULPT® sessions, you can find yourself feeling comfortable and confident in the way you look. For many patients who have undergone these treatments, they find themselves being able to participate in the activities they love and wearing the clothing they’ve always wanted to wear but never had the physique to pull off.
EMSCULPT® and EMSCULPT NEO® truly offer life-changing results. If you are frustrated with your appearance and want to achieve the body of your dreams, why wait to make that a reality?
