ARMS: Tone your arms- both biceps and triceps- with our Emsculpt treatments in NYC.Build muscle and burn fat, or just build muscle- the choice is yours!
THIGHS: Stronger and toned thighs (front, back, inner, and outer) not only look better but add to overall strength, balance, and athletic performance.
CALVES: Anyone who has tried to build up their calves or tone their lower legs in the gym knows how difficult it can be.With EMSCULPT NEO you can both build muscle and burn fat to finally have the calves you desire.
FLANKS: The newest application for EMSCULPT NEO is destroying fat in the love handles while also building further strength in the core muscles.
Emsculpt NEO uses two different technologies simultaneously.It uses HIFEM (high intensity focused electromagnetic energy) to cause very strong contractions of muscles and RF (radiofrequency).The simultaneous delivery of both forms of energy at the same time results in more fat reduction and more muscle growth compared to any other procedure.
In less than 4 minutes, the RF energy causes the fat to reach temperatures where it is permanently destroyed. The muscle is also gently warmed making it ready for exercise. The HIFEM energy is delivered to the muscle causing supramaximal contractions.These are contractions at intensities far greater than what you can achieve at the gym.
After the treatments are completed fat cells are slowly removed from the body and muscle fibers grow.
What are treatments like?
Emsculpt NEO treatments are safe, effective and easy.
Treatments take 30 minutes per area treated.A typical treatment course is 4 treatments one week apart.There is no downtime.There is no pain associated with Emsculpt NEO treatment.Patients completing the treatment in our NYC office most often report that treatments feel like an intense workout.
Emsculpt NEO by the Numbers
The reason we were one of the first offices in the world to provide EMSCULPT NEO in our NYC office is the hard science that went into studying and validating the safety and efficacy of the device. Emsculpt is backed by over 30 clinical publications and studies making it one of the most studies aesthetic devices in existence. We know that on average it causes a 25% increase in muscle on average and a 30% reduction in fat. These are amazingly impressive numbers for a non-invasive body contouring device. This explains why patient surveys show a 94% average patient satisfaction rating for Emsculpt NEO.
Emsculpt NEO is an innovative, non-invasive body contouring treatment that combines two proven procedures - radiofrequency heating and high-intensity focused electromagnetic technology (HIFEM). This revolutionary treatment simultaneously melts away fat and builds muscle in targeted areas, offering a two-pronged approach for body sculpting. It's designed to enhance the appearance of your abdomen, love handles, buttocks, arms, calves, and thighs, giving you a more toned and sculpted body. Ideal for individuals seeking to improve their body, wanting to burn fat, and improve muscle mass. Your office in New York, NY was one of the first in the world to offer Emsculpt NEO providing a safe, effective alternative to more invasive procedures and other fat reduction techniques.
How does Emsculpt NEO work?
Emsculpt NEO works by emitting both radiofrequency and HIFEM high intensity focused electromagnetic energy simultaneously. The radiofrequency heat warms the muscles and causes the fat cells to undergo apoptosis, or programmed cell death, eliminating fat cells. The body then naturally eliminates these fat cells over time. Simultaneously, the HIFEM technology induces powerful muscle contractions, far stronger than those achievable through exercise. These contractions stimulate the muscle to remodel its inner structure, resulting in muscle building and sculpting to tone select muscle groups and more fat reduction. This dual-action process of reducing fat and muscle development makes Emsculpt NEO a comprehensive body contouring solution.
What distinguishes Emsculpt NEO from other body contouring treatments?
Emsculpt treatments stand out from other body contouring treatments due to its dual-action process. It is the first treatment of its kind to simultaneously eliminate fat and build muscle, using a unique combination of radiofrequency to destroy unwanted fat and high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to stimulate muscle contractions. This dual mechanism offers a more comprehensive and efficient body sculpting solution. Additionally, Emsculpt NEO is non-invasive, requires no downtime, and can be used on a wider range of body types compared to traditional body sculpting treatments, making it a versatile option for individuals seeking noticeable physical enhancement.
Who is the ideal candidate for Emsculpt NEO?
The ideal candidate for Emsculpt NEO is someone who seeks to improve muscle tone and reduce fat in targeted areas of their body. This includes those who maintain a healthy lifestyle, with regular exercise and a healthy diet, but struggle with stubborn fat that resist diet and exercise, or those seeking to enhance muscle definition. Emsculpt NEO can benefit a wide range of individuals, from those seeking a non-invasive alternative to more invasive procedures, to athletes looking for an edge in performance promoting muscle development. It's also suitable for individuals with a BMI up to 35, broadening the spectrum of people who can benefit from this treatment.
Emsculpt NEO is also a great option for anyone wanting a non invasive butt lift as well. For the non invasive butt lift we would not use the device to destroy fat, but would instead focus on muscle hypertrophy and muscle cell hyperplasia in the gluteal muscles.
Is Emsculpt NEO safe?
Yes, Emsculpt NEO is considered safe. It's a non-invasive treatment that has been cleared by the FDA for fat reduction and increase in muscle mass. The procedure utilizes radiofrequency and high-intensity focused electromagnetic technologies, which have been extensively studied and used safely in many medical applications. As with any treatment, there may be side effects, but these are typically mild and temporary. Prior to treatment in our New York, NY dermatology office, Dr. Arash Akhavan will assess your individual health profile to ensure that Emsculpt NEO is a safe and suitable option for your body contouring goals.
How does Emsculpt NEO build muscle and burn fat at the same time?
Emsculpt NEO employs a unique combination of radiofrequency heating and high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy (HIFEM). The radiofrequency heating elevates the temperature of muscle and fat tissues, inducing fat cells to undergo apoptosis, or programmed cell death, thereby destroying fat cells which the body then naturally eliminates. Simultaneously, the HIFEM induces powerful muscle contractions, not achievable through voluntary exercise. These contractions stimulate muscle growth by triggering a deep remodeling of the muscle's inner structure. Hence, within a single session, Emsculpt NEO effectively burns fat and builds muscle, offering a comprehensive body sculpting solution.
How many Emsculpt NEO sessions are typically needed?
Typically, an Emsculpt NEO treatment plan consists of 4 sessions, each scheduled 5-10 days apart. However, individual needs may vary, so the optimal number of sessions could be determined in consultation with a professional. As an Emsculpt expert, Dr. Arash Akhavan can design a treatment plan tailored to your specific goals and body type.
How long is each Emsculpt NEO treatment session?
Each Emsculpt NEO session lasts 30 minutes. This timeframe allows for the dual technology of radiofrequency and high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy to effectively target and treat the desired area, whether it be the abdomen, love handles, buttocks, arms, calves, or thighs.
Does Emsculpt NEO require any downtime or recovery?
Emsculpt NEO is an FDA approved non-invasive procedure with no required downtime or recovery period. Following a session, you can immediately resume your daily activities. This makes Emsculpt NEO a convenient treatment option for individuals with busy schedules, as it requires minimal disruption to your routine. You can even exercise immediately after.
What should I expect during an Emsculpt NEO treatment?
During an Emsculpt NEO treatment, you can expect to feel intense muscle contractions interspersed with a gentle warming sensation as the device targets the treatment area. These contractions feel similar to a vigorous workout. The treatment is generally well-tolerated most patients, and there's no need for any preparation or any post-treatment recovery measures.
What areas of the body can be treated with Emsculpt NEO?
Emsculpt NEO can effectively treat various body areas. It is most commonly used to enhance the abdomen, love handles, and buttocks, but it can also be used for the arms (biceps and triceps), thighs (front, back, inner, or outer), and calves. It is designed to eliminate unwanted fat, and build muscle, offering a comprehensive body contouring solution. It is an FDA approved treatment that can help people achieve fitness goals.
What are the potential side effects of Emsculpt NEO?
Emsculpt NEO is generally well-tolerated with minimal side effects. Some individuals may experience temporary muscle soreness, similar to what you might feel after a strenuous workout, or a warm sensation in the treated area. These effects are typically mild and resolve within a day or two after the treatment.
How quickly will I see results from Emsculpt NEO?
Results from Emsculpt NEO can usually be seen as early as two to four weeks after the last session. However, improvements continue and are typically most visible after three months. Each individual's response will vary based on their body composition and metabolic rate.
How long do the results from Emsculpt NEO last?
The results from Emsculpt NEO can be long-lasting, often maintained for up to one year, particularly when accompanied by a healthy lifestyle including regular exercise and a balanced diet. Muscle cells that are destroyed by apoptosis will never return. Individual results can vary and periodic maintenance sessions are something Dr. Arash Akhavan will often recommend to maintain or even build on the results from the initial series.
Can Emsculpt NEO be used in combination with other treatments?
Yes, Emsculpt NEO can often be combined with other aesthetic treatments depending on your individual goals. For instance, it can be used alongside treatments for skin tightening (Emtone), cellulite reduction (Aveli), or additional fat reduction techniques (TruSculpt ID). We encourage you to consult with Dr. Akhavan to devise a treatment plan that suits your specific needs and objectives.
Will Emsculpt NEO help with loose skin?
While Emsculpt NEO is primarily designed to build muscle and reduce fat, the radiofrequency technology it uses can produce a certain degree of skin tightening. However, it's not specifically intended for significant skin tightening or the treatment of loose skin. For such concerns, more targeted treatments such as Emtone, microneedling, Ultherapy, or Fractional Laser Resurfacing may be recommended. Skin tightening is an area of expertise and a particular area of interest for Dr. Arash Akhavan. Be sure to bring up this concern during your consultation appointment.
How should I prepare for an Emsculpt NEO treatment?
Preparing for an Emsculpt NEO treatment is straightforward. No specific preparation is required. Radiofrequency might work better when your body is well hydrated so making sure your adequately hydrated is a good idea. Be sure to discuss any health concerns or medications with your provider prior to the treatment to ensure it's safe for you.
What does Emsculpt NEO feel like? Is the treatment painful?
Emsculpt NEO treatment feels like an intensive workout with a warming sensation in the treated area. You'll experience strong muscle contractions during the procedure, but it's not considered painful. Some people describe it as a strange sensation since the muscles are activated at a level that's not possible through voluntary contractions. Any discomfort typically subsides immediately after treatment.
What is the cost of Emsculpt NEO treatments?
Out our office Emsculpt NEO is $3400 for 4 sessions. There are discounts available for multiple areas treated at once.
Can I go back to my normal activities after an Emsculpt NEO session?
Yes, after an Emsculpt NEO session, you can immediately return to your normal activities. The treatment is non-invasive and requires no recovery time. You might experience slight muscle soreness similar to what you might feel after an intense workout or a strenuous workout, but this shouldn't interfere with your usual daily routine.
Are there any contraindications for Emsculpt NEO?
Emsculpt NEO is contraindicated for individuals with metal or electronic implants (like pacemakers), pregnant women, and those with certain medical conditions such as malignancies or hemorrhagic conditions. It's also not recommended if you have a hernia or history of seizures. Always consult with Dr. Akhavan to make sure Emsculpt is safe for you.
Can Emsculpt NEO help with weight loss?
Emsculpt NEO primarily focuses on reducing fat and building muscle in targeted areas, which can lead to improvements in body shape and contour. However, it's not a weight loss treatment. For best results, it should be used as a complement to a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise.
