Emsculpt neo is quickly becoming the most popular body sculpting treatment available at Miami Skin Spa, as it provides both muscle toning and fat reduction treatments in 1 session. This blog is based on the most popular questions we are asked by our patients about this non-invasive body sculpting treatment at our med spa in Brickell. Scroll down to read more about Emsculpt neo.
Yes! Emsculpt NEO has been clinically proven to get rid of fat, increase muscle strength and tone, and improve athletic performance. After your series of treatments, you should notice that you can perform more repetitions at the gym and you feel stronger.
The synchronized radiofrequency heating and HIFEM+ energies destroy fat cells and extreme stress on the muscle instigates muscle growth. After four treatments, the average patient experiences a 25% increase in muscle strength and 30% less subcutaneous fat!
The FDA has approved Emsculpt NEO for use on the abdomen, arms, inner and outer thighs, buttocks, and calves. Unlike liposuction, Emsculpt NEO treatments are non-invasive with no recovery time.
Emsculpt NEO results generally last between 6 and 12 months. During an Emsculpt NEO treatment, the fat cells are destroyed. So the fat lost during your treatment will stay gone! However, the muscle toning results will only last between 6 and 12 months without regular treatments or routine excercise.
Miami Skin Spa recommends regular maintenance visits every other month after the initial 4 to 6 treatment to maintain your results over the course of the year.
However, you do not need Emsculpt NEO to keep the inches off. The results from your Emsculpt NEO treatment will last longer if you practice a healthy lifestyle. Regular bodyweight training and a nutritious diet keep more fat from forming and prevent you from losing muscle tone.
Yes! Emsculpt NEO is a two-for-one body sculpting radio frequency treatment. In one 30-minute treatment, it targets both muscles and fat to improve your overall appearance. Not only that but it improves workout performance by increasing muscle volume.
On average, most people require 4 to 6 visits to achieve optimal results. At Miami Skin Spa, the initial treatment packages cost between $3,000 and $4,000. What our patients love most, is that after their treatments, is that they can return to their normal life without having to afford any daily activities.
Other more invasive fat removal options like liposuction cost between $7,000 and $20,000 for a single treatment and recovery takes much longer. For convenience and results, Emsculpt NEO is worth the investment!
You may see results after your first Emsculpt NEO treatment! But most likely, you will need between 4 and 6 treatments to meet your body’s unique sculpting goals. After a full round of Emsculpt NEO, visible results should appear within 4 to 6 weeks.
Radiofrequency (RF) and High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy kill fat cells which the body then disposes of naturally. At the same time, it forces the muscles to contract and the stress increases muscle volume.
It takes time for your body to get rid of the dead fat cells and for your muscles to recover. Even if you do see results following your first treatment, the results after your full round of Emsculpt will be even more striking!
EmSculpt NEO can be done every 4 to 5 days. You may be tempted to schedule more sessions in a week, but your muscles need time to recover and your body needs time to dispose of the dead fat cells.
Recovery after Emsculpt NEO is similar to that of a particularly intense workout session. It contracts the muscles to help them grow in strength and volume. But unlike a workout session, you are putting the muscles under stress that isn’t possible to achieve lifting weights.
You can schedule your 4 to 6 initial appointments a week apart. Maintenance visits are usually suggested every 3 to 6 months thereafter.
It can be! The results from Emsculpt NEO will last if you maintain a healthy lifestyle, exercise, and eat a nutritious diet. After the initial four to six treatments, most people who have tried Emsculpt NEO lose about 30% subcutaneous fat and gain 25% muscle mass.
Emsculpt NEO is beneficial for removing stubborn fat deposits that may never go away even after a few months of exercise. The fat destroyed during your treatment is gone forever - the cells do not grow back. However, that doesn’t mean you will never have fat in those areas again. Emsculpt NEO maintenance sessions and a regular exercise routine will ensure that any fat loss or muscle gain stays put.
Yes! Emsculpt NEO has been approved by the FDA and is considered safe. Emsculpt NEO is unique in the world of medical spa wellness. It uses a radiofrequency laser and high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy to simultaneously destroy fat cells and build muscle.
The radiofrequency laser uses targeted heat to destroy the fat cells and tighten the top layers of the skin. Meanwhile, the High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy creates alternating magnetic fields to create underlying electric currents in the tissue. It contracts the muscles thousands of times in a single 30-min Emsculpt NEO session. This builds muscle volume and strength.
The classic Emsculpt is the original version of this device using High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy to enhance muscle tone and strength. The newer Emsculpt NEO is the first device to incorporate fat loss via its radiofrequency laser into the same treatment.
Radiofrequency increases the HIFEM energy effects on the muscles, building muscle faster and stronger. It does this by adding heat which increases blood flow to the muscles. The heat also kills fat cells which are removed naturally by the body’s metabolism.
The combination of HIFEM and radiofrequency is only recommended for patients who are looking to lose fat in addition to gaining muscle. Emsculpt Neo is best for anyone looking for fat loss and muscle mass, whereas the Emsculpt will only treat muscle mass.
Emsculpt NEO is designed to be completed in 4 to 6 sessions depending on your goals and body composition. Your muscles are getting the equivalent of 3 months of exercise sessions in four treatments. You need to allow the muscles to heal between sessions for optimal results and to reduce the strain on your body.
Give yourself at least two to three days to recover between appointments. But you can wait up to a week if that works better for your schedule and body.
At Miami Skin Spa, your initial series of appointments will be scheduled once a week for four to six weeks. After that, we commend regular follow-up appointments every three to six months to maintain your results.
Yes! Emsculpt NEO is approved by the FDA for non-invasive lipolysis (fat burning) and hypertrophy and hyperplasia of targeted muscle groups (muscle building). It was invented by the Boston-based company BTL aesthetics to contour abdomens, hips, glutes, arms, thighs, and calves.
BTL Aesthetics has won awards for being the global pioneer in contouring procedures. Emsculpt NEO is the only FDA-approved device that uses HIFEM and radiofrequency energy together to sculpt the muscles and fat.
Patients who are nursing or pregnant, and also those with metal or electronic implants in the treatment area are not candidates for Emsculpt NEO. Anyone with a BMI over 35 is also ineligible for treatment. Emsculpt NEO is not meant as a weight loss treatment.
Emsculpt NEO does burn calories! The treatment is not meant as a weight loss treatment. However, the combination of fat loss and muscle building inevitably burns enough calories for weight loss.
HIFEM energy contracts your muscles up to 667 in one minute. That’s an average of 18,000 over the course of one 30-minute session! Think how many bicep curls, squats, and crunches you would need to do to match those contractions.
Larger, stronger muscles also mean a faster metabolism. Your metabolism is responsible for burning fat and calories for energy. The Emsculpt NEO laser also burns fat cells which are removed by the body’s natural disposal systems in the days following your treatment.
Emsculpt NEO is not intended as a cellulite treatment, but it can help reduce its appearance in some cases. Many people struggle to reduce the appearance of cellulite. Working out alone will not get rid of it nor does treating the surface layer of the skin.
Cellulite is created from a combination of variables including skin elasticity, fat cell accumulation, tight fibrous bands beneath the skin, hormones, and genetics.
Emsculpt NEO is meant to burn fat cells and increase muscle size. The effects it has on cellulite are incidental to the other sculpting benefits. It tightens the skin to make the cellulite less visible while it also firms muscles and lifts fibrous tissues to reduce minor cellulite.
Yes! Emsculpt NEO is an especially effective treatment to get rid of stubborn love handles. It was created to help dispose of stubborn body fat in the hips, thighs, calves, abdominals, glutes, and arms.
Some people - women especially - are prone to the fat accumulation around the abdominals and hips that causes love handles. The HIFEM and radiofrequency energy together destroy fat cells and increase muscle strength and definition to improve the contour of your hips and abdominals. Emsculpt NEO was meant for fat reduction in people with a BMI of 35 or less.
The increase in muscle size also speeds up your metabolism to continue the fat-burning after your treatments are over to keep the love handles from reappearing. Pair Emsculpt NEO with regular exercise for the best results!
Emsculpt NEO is a non-invasive contouring treatment with very few side effects. Most people have temporary muscle soreness, hunger, and fatigue equivalent to that of a strenuous gym workout. Some also experience redness or swelling in the treatment area.
The HIFEM energy causes the muscles to contract several thousand times throughout a 30-minute treatment. The contractions tear the muscle fibers, the same way they would tear when you lift heavy weights or go for a run. After Emsculpt NEO, rest the treatment area for a few days to allow your body the time it needs to recover.
While Emsculpt NEO helps with muscle definition and fat loss, the treatment is not meant to be a replacement for exercise and a healthy diet.
