The Who, What, And Why About Emsculpt!

The world of plastic surgery and its sub-groups is always changing and growing, developing new techniques and procedures to help people looking for ways to shed fat and sculpt their bodies into something they can be proud of. Non-invasive procedures are really capturing attention because they offer a way to trim and flatten areas of the body without making incisions and going through the lengthy process of recovery.


What Is Emsculpt?

A cutting-edge technology uses electromagnetic energy to tone the body and help eliminate fat. This forces the muscles to contract in the area being treated, similar to how the body contracts the muscles naturally. But Emsculpt takes over the process in a much stronger way than your body can.


The first two letters of the name–the “E” and the “M” references the science behind the treatment. The electromagnetic energy creates “super maximal contractions” in the muscles. Its clearance by the Food and Drug Administration makes it a procedure that’s safe for improving abdominal tone, strengthening the abdominal muscles, developing a firmer abdomen, and also strengthening, toning, and firming up the buttocks.


How Does Emsculpt Work?

It works by activating 20,000 supramaximal muscle contractions, something that can’t be achieved by voluntary body action. It would be like performing 20,000 full contraction crunches or squats in 1 session! When the muscle tissue is forced to endure such extreme conditions, its response is to remodel its inner structure which results in building up muscle and burning off fat. These actions work together to sculpt your body.


Emsculpt Neo Is The New Kid On The Block!

Emsculpt Neo, is the next-generation treatment that uses the same electromagnetic energy as the standard EMSculpt device. It also has added radiofrequency (RF) energy into the treatment mix to literally burn through fat stores using heat energy.

Emsculpt Neo is an FDA-cleared non-surgical body contouring treatment that made its introduction to the plastic, dermatology, and cosmetic surgery scene in 2018. And it’s been gaining attention and popularity ever since!

Emsculpt Neo has been recognized for its ability to tone muscle and burn fat. It’s a non-invasive procedure that requires zero downtime following treatment. So what is this revolutionary new treatment?


Who Is Emsculpt Neo For?

The ideal candidates are thin, relatively fit, and looking for extra definition in their abdomen or getting more lift in their buttocks that they can’t achieve on their own. People with considerable body fat in general won’t see substantial differences with an Emsculpt Neo treatment. Therefore, patients who have small, stubborn areas of fat are better suited for the treatment, and could actually achieve definition like six-pack abs. Emsculpt Neo isn’t a procedure for losing weight–it’s all about definition and toning. Emsculpt’s technology can do for bodies what Botox did for faces.


Emsculpt Neo works for both men and women, and is also a good option to help patients recovering from an injury, such as sports injuries. It’s a quick way to strengthen muscle groups that were weakened because of injury. The popularity of Emsculpt has been embraced by athletes who are referred to the treatment from physical therapy facilities as it’s an efficient way to gain strength in muscle groups that have gotten weak because of injury.


That being said, patients that have metal implants or electronics in their bodies, such as a pacemaker, or have a history of muscle issues like complicated hernias may not be suitable candidates for Emsculpt treatments. While the treatments are safe, the Emsculpt device is a complex piece of machinery. So patients with metal implants should consult their doctors if they’re thinking of undergoing a treatment.


How Is Emsculpt Neo Different?

Emsculpt is the first device of its kind that eliminates fat by toning and building muscles. It’s unique to other devices in the way it gets rid of fat. By causing the muscles to contract over 24,000 times in 30 minutes, it builds muscle tissue like exercising but to a much higher degree. Muscles need calories to feed on for contractions like these, and that burns the local fat stored up. Emsculpt contours the body with exceptional results that current non-invasive body shaping procedures can’t deliver.


How Long Do Emsculpt Neo Treatments Take?

The normal Emsculpt Neo session takes 30 minutes for one treatment on one specific part of the body, but if you’re having the procedure performed on multiple areas, such as your abdomen or buttocks, you’ll need two 30-minute sessions. Emsculpt protocols typically recommend undergoing four treatments over roughly a two-week period, with two or three days spaced in between for the best results.


What Kind Of Results Can I Expect From Emsculpt Neo?

You will notice a more toned and leaner area with visibly less fat following your procedure. There have been studies that show up to 25% % muscle growth and 30% fat reduction in the area that received treatment. Studies also demonstrate that Emsculpt Neo helps reduce Diastasis Recti by 17%. Tangible results should be felt right after your treatment. More positive results should be noticed in two to four weeks following your last session, and will continue showing improvement for several weeks afterward. Your body will look and feel like you’ve had a maximum work out with a personal trainer, exercising your personal best.


How Long Do Emsculpt Neo Results Last?

The duration of your results will be a factor of how active you are in your lifestyle. Patients can maintain their results with regular exercise if they’re committed to that, but can also maintain their results by returning for additional treatments.


By doing a lot of core strengthening, maintaining your results can be possible for a very long time or even permanently. It’s really up to you, because without constant stimulation through exercise, muscle will start to diminish, fat will reappear, and before you know it, it’s time for another maintenance treatment. Emsculpt Neo treatments could be performed annually depending on the kind of results you want.


Are There Side Effects With Emsculpt Neo?

There may be some minor soreness felt after your treatment, and in some rare occasions, fatigue like that felt after a strenuous workout, according to some patients’ reports. The contractions produced by Emsculpt can help clear lactic acid that builds up in the muscles, which can cause soreness, just like a real workout. However, the work that the Emsculpt treatment performs on the body can prevent soreness from being too severe. The best part of Emsculpt is that patients can return to their normal activities immediately!
