Emsculpt NEO: The Science Behind Simultaneous Muscle & Fat
Emsculpt NEO combines HIFEM (High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic energy) with Radiofrequency to simultaneously build muscle and destroy fat — a first in non-invasive body contouring. It's FDA-cleared for the abdomen, buttocks, arms, calves, and thighs.
How It Works
In a single 30-minute session, Emsculpt NEO induces approximately 20,000 supramaximal muscle contractions — the equivalent of 20,000 perfect crunches or squats in terms of muscle fiber engagement, while RF energy heats the fat layer to 42°C (108°F), permanently damaging fat cells.
Clinical Results
- 25% average muscle volume increase
- 30% average fat reduction in target area
- 19% average reduction in abdominal muscle separation (diastasis recti)
Cost
- Single session: $750–$1,500
- Recommended protocol (4 sessions): $3,000–$5,000
- Maintenance: 1–2 sessions every 6–12 months
Best Candidates
Emsculpt NEO works best for active adults within 30 lbs of their ideal body weight who want supplementary muscle definition and fat reduction in specific areas. It is not a weight-loss solution. Find a provider near you →
