Emsculpt NEO Treatment Areas
Medically Reviewed by Arash Akhavan, MD, FAAD
Emsculpt NEO represents a significant advancement in non-invasive body contouring technology, building upon the foundation of the original Emsculpt device. By integrating High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy with radiofrequency (RF) energy, Emsculpt NEO offers a comprehensive solution that simultaneously addresses muscle development and fat reduction.
Clinical studies have demonstrated that Emsculpt NEO can achieve up to a 30% reduction in subcutaneous fat and a 25% increase in muscle mass in treated areas. This dual-action approach not only sculpts and tones the body but also enhances overall strength and physical performance. These outcomes are typically observed after a series of four treatments, each lasting approximately 30 minutes.
With its ability to effectively reduce fat and build muscle across various body areas, Emsculpt NEO has become the gold standard in non-invasive body contouring. Its innovative combination of HIFEM and RF technologies offers superior results compared to its predecessor and other body sculpting treatments.
Emsculpt NEO Treatment Areas: Above The Waist
Emsculpt NEO is highly effective for body contouring above the waist, offering muscle building and fat reduction in key areas where many patients struggle to achieve results through diet and exercise alone. The advanced combination of HIFEM and RF technology allows Emsculpt NEO to sculpt, strengthen, and define areas such as the abdomen, love handles, and arms.
Abdomen – Core Strength and Definition
The abdomen is the most popular area for Emsculpt NEO treatments, as it effectively strengthens the core, builds abdominal muscles, and reduces stubborn belly fat. In fact, clinical studies show an average of 30% fat reduction and a 25% increase in muscle mass in the abdominal area. This treatment not only flattens the stomach but also improves core strength, which is essential for better posture and reduced lower back pain. Emsculpt NEO achieves the equivalent of 20,000 crunches in a 30-minute session, making it far more effective than traditional workouts.
Love Handles (Flanks) – Slimming and Sculpting the Waistline
The love handles, or flanks, are notoriously difficult to slim with diet and exercise alone, but Emsculpt NEO effectively targets fat in the love handles while strengthening the oblique muscles. This dual action results in a more defined waistline and a slimmer, more contoured midsection. Patients often combine abdomen and flank treatments to achieve a more complete body contouring result, creating the appearance of a tighter, sculpted waistline.
Arms – Building and Defining Biceps and Triceps
Emsculpt NEO is highly effective for treating the arms, specifically the biceps and triceps, which are common areas of fat accumulation and muscle loss as we age. The treatment builds muscle mass, resulting in more defined, toned arms, while simultaneously reducing excess fat for a leaner appearance. Each session produces the equivalent of thousands of bicep curls or tricep dips, making it a powerful supplement to your regular strength training routine. Patients notice stronger arms, better muscle definition, and a significant improvement in upper body strength and appearance.
Emsculpt NEO Treatment Areas: Below the Waist
Emsculpt NEO offers powerful body contouring and muscle-building results below the waist, helping patients achieve stronger, more defined legs, thighs, and glutes. Using a combination of HIFEM (High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic) technology and RF (radiofrequency) energy, Emsculpt NEO targets muscles and fat simultaneously, resulting in a firmer, more toned lower body. Let’s break down the key treatment areas below the waist.
Butt – The Non-Surgical Butt Lift
Emsculpt NEO is a highly sought-after treatment for a non-surgical butt lift, providing a rounder, more lifted, and toned appearance without surgery or downtime. Unlike treatments that reduce fat, the buttock protocol focuses solely on building and strengthening the gluteal muscles, resulting in a natural-looking lift and fullness. Each session produces the equivalent of 20,000 squats, increasing muscle mass and improving strength and tone. Many patients report not only a more sculpted appearance but also improved athletic performance, thanks to stronger glutes, after an Emsculpt NEO Butt Lift.
Thighs – Inner, Outer, Front, and Back
Emsculpt NEO is the only device that can treat all four sides of the thighs, providing comprehensive leg sculpting and muscle definition:
- Inner Thighs: Emsculpt NEO tightens and tones the inner thighs, improving muscle strength and reducing fat, which helps to minimize thigh rubbing and create a leaner leg shape.
- Outer Thighs (Saddlebags): By reducing stubborn fat and building muscle in the outer thigh area, Emsculpt NEO smooths the silhouette, eliminating the “saddlebag” appearance.
- Front of Thighs (Quadriceps): Emsculpt NEO strengthens the quadriceps, helping to define the front of the legs and improve overall leg strength, which is essential for walking, running, and athletic performance.
- Back of Thighs (Hamstrings): Strengthening the hamstrings provides better support for the knees and improves overall leg contour, creating a lifted appearance in the posterior thigh and further accentuating a butt lift.
Legs – Calves and Lower Legs
Emsculpt NEO can also effectively treat the calves, an area that is typically hard to sculpt through exercise alone. The treatment builds muscle mass and definition, making the calves more prominent and symmetrical. For patients with calf asymmetry or who are looking to enhance their leg proportions, Emsculpt NEO is a highly effective solution.
