Noninvasive body contouring is a popular way to achieve a slimmer, more sculpted look without surgery or downtime. Most of these treatments utilize energy to either eliminate stubborn fat or stimulate muscle growth. But there is one treatment that can do both, thanks to its unique combination of technologies: EMSCULPT NEO.

This advanced treatment uses radiofrequency (RF) and high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy to simultaneously burn fat and build muscle. The result? A faster, more effective approach to body sculpting with no recovery time.

In just minutes, we can slim, tone, and sculpt up to 10 areas of the body safely and comfortably. Discover the power of this breakthrough technology at Aestheticare STL in St. Louis, MO—and redefine your silhouette with ease and confidence.

What Is EMSCULPT NEO?

EMSCULPT NEO is a noninvasive body sculpting treatment developed by BTL Aesthetics. It is an upgraded version of the company’s original EMSCULPT, a muscle-toning treatment that uses HIFEM technology.

What makes EMSCULPT NEO different from its predecessor is its groundbreaking combination of RF and HIFEM technology. In fact, EMSCULPT NEO is the first and only device where a single applicator can deliver different energies to simultaneously burn fat and build muscle in the arms, belly area, buttocks, thighs, and calves.

Thanks to this blending of different technologies, patients can now enjoy dramatic body sculpting with one treatment and virtually no downtime.

Most patients need four to six sessions spaced one week apart for best results. Completing your recommended treatment plan can yield significant improvement, as EMSCULPT NEO has been found to reduce fat by 30% and increase muscle volume by 25% in most patients.

EMSCULPT NEO delivers impressive results making the body contouring process more convenient and effective than traditional methods. Patients can expect visible changes in their physique, with tighter muscles and reduced fat, making it an ideal choice for those looking to enhance their fitness efforts with minimal disruption to their daily lives. The procedure is generally well-tolerated, with most patients reporting a sensation like an intense workout during the sessions. EMSCULPT NEO represents a significant advancement in aesthetic treatments, offering a safe and scientifically backed option for achieving a more sculpted and toned body without surgery.

How Does EMSCULPT NEO Work?

The EMSCULPT NEO machine emits synchronized RF and HIFEM energies via an applicator placed over the treatment site:

1. The RF component raises the temperature of fat cells that are just underneath the skin, causing them to die and later be removed by the body’s lymphatic system.

2. The HIFEM component depolarizes motor neurons in muscles, causing them to contract and, over time, grow bigger and stronger.

The results from EMSCULPT can be more dramatic than seen with previous technologies or a healthy lifestyle alone. The reason for this is that HIFEM causes contractions of all muscle fibers in the treatment area at levels of intensity not achievable through exercise. Another reason is that the fat cells removed with RF energy are gone for good.

The HIFEM energy induces muscle contractions, leading to muscle adaptation and strengthening. EMSCULPT NEO amplifies this effect, activating muscles beyond the capacity of traditional workouts—imagine doing over 20,000 crunches in just 30 minutes! Meanwhile, the radiofrequency component melts away fat, helping eliminate unwanted fat cells from the body. This powerful synergy makes EMSCULPT NEO an exceptional tool for simultaneously building muscle and reducing fat in targeted areas.

EMSCULPT NEO vs. Other Treatments

When comparing EMSCULPT NEO to other body contouring treatments like CoolSculpting or SculpSure, EMSCULPT NEO stands out because it reduces fat and builds muscle simultaneously in a single session. This dual-action approach provides a more comprehensive body sculpting result.

What Does EMSCULPT NEO Treat?

EMSCULPT NEO is a non-invasive treatment that uses radiofrequency and HIFEM energies to:

  • Reduce fat
  • Stimulate muscle growth and definition
  • Tighten skin
  • Improve rectus muscle diastasis (post-pregnancy abdominal separation)
  • It can treat areas like the abdomen, buttocks, thighs (inner, front, back, saddlebags), biceps, triceps, and calves.

Step-by-Step Process

1

Consultation

Before your procedure, you will receive a complimentary consultation with our experts in St. Louis. We design and craft individualized treatment plans tailored specifically for you. Our experienced professionals ensure it aligns with your goals and meets your expectations.

2

Preparation

To prepare for an EMSCULPT NEO procedure, stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water in the days leading up to your session. Eat a balanced meal a few hours before the treatment to maintain normal blood sugar levels and avoid excessive caffeine and alcohol as they can affect hydration and your body’s response. Wear comfortable clothing for easy access to the treatment area and avoid using lotions or creams on the skin where the device will be applied.

3

Treatment

The EMSCULPT NEO treatment generally consists of 4 sessions, spaced 7-10 days apart, to help you achieve your desired results.

4

Session

The EMSCULPT NEO session begins with you lying down as the device is positioned over the targeted area. Once activated, it emits radiofrequency and HIFEM energy, producing a gentle warming sensation alongside intense muscle contractions. Although vigorous, it feels more like a robust workout than pain.

5

Repeat

Follow-up sessions help enhance and maintain your results.

6

Post-Treatment

After undergoing an EMSCULPT NEO treatment, you won’t need any downtime and can immediately resume all activities, including exercise. You might feel muscle soreness like you’d experience after a workout, but this shouldn’t disrupt your daily routine.

The EMSCULPT NEO Treatment

EMSCULPT NEO is a 30-minute, in-office treatment. Most patients need to come in for treatment once a week for about four to six weeks.

The treatment involves securing the device’s applicators around the treatment area while you are lying down. Your provider will then turn on the device and let the machine do the rest. This procedure is painless but may result in a warming sensation. Most patients compare it to a hot stone massage or an intense workout.

Recovery after EMSCULPT NEO

There is no recovery period or downtime with EMSCULPT NEO. You can resume your daily routine immediately after treatment. Minor redness, swelling, and numbness for a few days post-treatment are normal. These side effects are similar to what you may experience after an intense workout.

Swelling after EMSCULPT NEO can also happen as a result of the destruction of fat cells. This leads to an immune response as the body tries to eliminate the dead fat cells.

EMSCULPT NEO Results

You may notice some improvement after your first EMSCULPT NEO session. But the full results — up to 30% less fat and 25% more muscle — are usually visible around the second or third week after the last treatment. The expected results from this treatment include a slimmer and more toned appearance.

Your abdomen may appear firmer and flatter with visible abs, for example. The muscles built with EMSCULPT NEO should last from three to six months and the fat reduction is permanent with regular exercise and a healthy diet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Am I a good candidate for EMSCULPT NEO?

If you have a body mass index BMI of 30 or less and are willing to continue following a healthy lifestyle post-treatment.

How do I prepare for my EMSCULPT NEO treatment?

No preparation is required for this treatment aside from removing all metal jewelry and accessories before treatment. You will just need to come to your scheduled appointment and plan to have up to six appointments once a week. It’s also a good idea to hydrate well and to wear comfortable and loose-fitting clothing for your treatment.

Will I lose weight with EMSCULPT NEO?

While EMSCULPT NEO removes some fat in targeted areas permanently, it has minimal impact on weight. Body sculpting treatments are not a replacement for diet and exercise. Instead, their goal is to reshape certain areas of the body.

Are there any side effects with EMSCULPT NEO?

There are no reported side effects with EMSCULPT NEO aside from temporary muscle soreness and minor swelling. These usually resolve on their own within a couple of days.

How long will my EMSCULPT NEO results last?

Your results should last for three to six months following your last treatment. To maintain your EMSCULPT NEO results, we suggest getting regular treatments once or twice a year. Following a healthy diet and regular exercise regimen can also lead to long-lasting results.

How soon can I see results after EMSCULPT NEO?

You can expect immediate results after your EMSCULPT NEO treatment, with further improvements continuing over the next 4 to 8 weeks. To maintain these results, follow a healthy diet and regular exercise routine.

Can EMSCULPT NEO be combined with other body contouring treatments?

EMSCULPT NEO can be combined with other treatments like CoolSculpting Elite and Venus Legacy. CoolSculpting Elite uses cryolipolysis technology to freeze and eliminate fat cells permanently. This technique targets fat with cold temperatures while preserving surrounding tissues. Venus Legacy utilizes multi-polar radio frequencies and magnetic pulses to improve skin laxity by generating new collagen. The RF technology is comfortable, requires no recovery time, and is suitable for all skin types.

Are there any restrictions after an EMSCULPT NEO session?

After your EMSCULPT NEO treatment, you should follow a few guidelines for optimal results and recovery. Avoid saunas, and hot tubs, and expose the treated area to excessive heat for at least 24 hours. Additionally, refrain from strenuous exercise or heavy lifting for 24-48 hours to allow your muscles to recover from the intense contractions induced by the treatment. Staying well-hydrated before and after the procedure also aids in muscle recovery.

What areas of the body can be treated with EMSCULPT NEO?

EMSCULPT NEO employs advanced technology to eliminate stubborn fat and tone muscles. This innovative treatment can be applied to multiple areas, including the buttocks, abdomen, thighs, calves, and arms, helping you achieve a leaner and more sculpted physique.

How long does each EMSCULPT NEO session take?

Each session lasts approximately 30 minutes.
