Emsculpt vs. Emsculpt Neo (Is Emsculpt Neo worth it?)

You say “Emsculpt” and I say “Emsculpt Neo.” Which one gives you the most bang for your body-sculpting buck? Well, let’s examine the evidence, and then you can be the judge!


What is Emsculpt?

Emsculpt is an FDA-approved, non-invasive body-sculpting procedure that helps to build muscle as it burns fat. Emsculpt delivers focused, high-intensity electromagnetic energy (HIFEM) pulses to muscle tissue, creating supramaximal muscle contractions that activate muscle fibers with more intensity than you could achieve with routine exercise.


Emsculpt works by emitting electromagnetic pulses that force our muscles to contract over 20,000 times in just 20 minutes, which is so much faster than you could do on your own! The rapid contractions also cause your muscles to release chemicals that “tell” the fat cells in the area to break down.


Emsculpt’s non-surgical treatment can tighten, tone, and strengthen the large muscle groups of the abdomen and buttocks as well as in smaller areas of the body, such as the upper arms, thighs, and calves. The result is increased muscle definition and reduced circumference.


Emsculpt can be used as a body contouring method to help you build the muscle needed to be confident in starting an exercise program.


If you’re looking for a nonsurgical butt lift treatment, Emsculpt is a popular choice. The procedure creates a firmer, more shapely butt through muscle building (minus the fat cell destruction). It won’t create the same amount of butt projection as what you’d get with a surgical Brazilian butt lift that transfers a significant amount of fat to the butt. Therefore, Emsculpt is a good choice for athletic patients who want a rounder, higher butt.


What is Emsculpt Neo?

Emsculpt Neo was launched in the fall of 2020 as a next-generation, FDA-cleared device that combines enhanced HIFEM technology with radiofrequency energy (RF) in the form of heat, which will burn fat more effectively. Emsculpt Neo can treat the same areas as the original Emsculpt device, and recently, Emscuplt Neo gained FDA clearance for lipolysis (fat reduction) of the thighs. Treatments centered around the butt, arms, and calves are typically done without heat to avoid the volume loss that typically accompanies fat reduction.


Emsculpt Neo is suitable for men and women of all ages and helps to tone and strengthen the abdomen, buttocks, thighs, and arms. Ideal candidates for Emscuplt Neo are healthy women and men who have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or less and who would like to rid themselves of stubborn fat to build more muscle mass in the buttocks, stomach, legs, or upper arms.


Emsculpt Neo sessions are normally performed in tandem with surgical body contouring procedures. And, as a result, with Emsculpt Neo, muscles grow and become thicker and stronger, leaving the treated area looking more toned and fit. Studies have shown that an average of 30% in fat reduction and a 25% increase in muscle growth have occurred in the treated area.


Thanks to the legacy of its predecessor, Emsculpt Neo is two therapies in one treatment, which appeals to patients looking for more fat reduction and muscle growth in less time and for less money. Emsculpt Neo has achieved broad customer appeal as it can treat patients with a BMI up to 35.


At Aristocrat, we offer Emsculpt Neo treatments because it has the benefits of the previous models (muscle growing) but also helps with fat reduction.


Let’s Look at the yeas and nays of Emsculpt and Emsculpt Neo

Yeas:

  • Both treatments are non-surgical, with no anesthesia required and no downtime for recovery following your procedure.
  • Emsculpt and Emsculpt Neo come with the dual advantage of being able to tone muscles and reduce fat.
  • They’re a good choice for people who want a more sculpted and defined physique with stronger muscles.
  • All skin types and tones can are suitable for Emsculpt and Emsculpt Neo, and there have been no reported side effects except for some temporary muscle soreness such as the kind you would feel after an intense workout.
  • Emsculpt Neo can offer better muscle building and fat reduction results and has been clinically shown to reduce fat more effectively than fat-freezing treatments like CoolSculpting.
  • All it takes to achieve visible results is four treatments. Many patients have reported seeing noticeable increases in muscle tone, and have felt a boost in their strength that has helped them achieve more in their workouts.

Nays:

  • If a patient has more than just an inch of pinchable fat, they may not see much change from the kind of results they’d achieve with the first-generation Emsculpt device.
  • Just a little more fat than is acceptable can act as a barrier between the magnetic coil of the device and the muscles, which can reduce the strength of the muscle contractions that occur during treatment.
  • Patients with higher BMIs should look for a provider with the more powerful Emsculpt Neo device rather than the first generation device.
  • Just like other muscle-building and fat reduction treatments, the Emsculpt devices are not suitable or intended for weight loss.
  • Your treatment plan will typically involve multiple sessions over short periods of time, such as four within a two-week period to achieve optimal results.
  • Optimal results won’t be highly visible until close to three months after your last treatment. That’s because that is how long it can take for new muscle fiber to develop and for excess fat cells to break down.

So What’s It Worth To You?

So you’ve got two good choices in body sculpting technology that can really make a difference in your appearance – depending on how defined and toned you desire to look. Both devices are a technological breakthrough in the body contouring world, and both can effectively slim down one’s stomach and round another’s rear end.


But when all is said and done, each person is different, and what works for one may not work for the others. So believe it or not, only you can be the judge of which treatment is right and worth the cost for you…Emsculpt or Emsculpt Neo.
