The Difference Between EmSculpt® and EmSculpt NEO®?

Many people lead a healthy lifestyle, exercise regularly, and maintain a balanced diet yet still struggle to tone and shape certain areas of their body. We all accumulate stubborn fat in different places. Some muscle groups like the abdomen, arms or thighs can be especially challenging to define. Fortunately, modern technology has created effective non-invasive solutions to help you achieve the toned, sculpted figure you desire.

Two of the most popular body contouring treatments available today are EmSculpt® and EmSculpt NEO®. Both are powerful tools for sculpting and toning the body but each has unique benefits. While EmSculpt® primarily focuses on building muscle, EmSculpt NEO® also reduces fat, giving you a comprehensive body-sculpting solution.

At Manhattan Aesthetics in New York City, we help clients understand which treatment is best for their goals and provide expert care to achieve safe, effective results.

What Is EmSculpt® for Body Sculpting?

Even with consistent cardio and strength training, achieving your desired muscle definition can be difficult. Certain areas of the body may resist toning despite your best efforts at the gym. This is where EmSculpt® comes in.

EmSculpt® uses HIFEM (High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic) technology to stimulate muscle contractions in a way that mimics intense exercise. During each treatment session your muscles contract 20 thousand times, which is far more than what can be achieved through conventional exercise alone. These contractions force the muscles to adapt while strengthening and toning them over time.

Unlike traditional workouts which may require weeks or months to see noticeable changes, EmSculpt® provides targeted results in fewer sessions. Therefore, it is an excellent option for busy individuals in New York City looking for efficient, non-invasive body sculpting.

  • Builds and strengthens muscles
  • Tones specific areas like abs, arms, and glutes
  • Non-invasive with no downtime
  • Can complement regular workouts for enhanced results

What Is the Difference Between EmSculpt® and EmSculpt NEO®?

EmSculpt NEO® is the advanced version of the original EmSculpt® treatment, designed to provide even more comprehensive body contouring results. While EmSculpt® focuses primarily on building muscle, EmSculpt NEO® combines HIFEM technology with radiofrequency (RF) energy allowing it to target both muscle and fat simultaneously.

This combination offers several advantages:

Muscle Building

The HIFEM component stimulates intense muscle contractions just like EmSculpt®. This promotes muscle growth, increased strength, and improved definition.

Fat Reduction

The RF energy component gently heats and destroys fat cells in the targeted area. Once destroyed, these fat cells are naturally eliminated by the body leaving a slimmer, more contoured appearance.

Skin Tightening

RF energy also stimulates collagen production, which can improve skin laxity and texture. This means areas treated with EmSculpt NEO® not only lose fat but also appear smoother and firmer.

Versatility

EmSculpt NEO® can treat a wider range of body areas including the abdomen, arms, thighs, and buttocks. By addressing both muscle and fat it ensures that toned muscles are visible and not hidden beneath a layer of stubborn fat.

Overall, EmSculpt NEO® provides a more complete body transformation than the original EmSculpt®. Our patients in New York City find visible, long-lasting results.

In short: EmSculpt builds muscle, EmSculpt NEO® builds muscle and removes fat.

How Many EmSculpt NEO® Treatments Will I Need?

Most patients see optimal results after a series of treatments. Typically, four sessions scheduled over two to four weeks are recommended for EmSculpt NEO®.

During these treatments, you can expect:

  • Up to 30% reduction in fat in the targeted area
  • Up to 25% increase in muscle mass

What to Expect After Treatment

  • Mild muscle soreness similar to a workout at the gym
  • Gradual improvement in muscle tone and definition over several weeks
  • Noticeable fat reduction in treated areas

Because EmSculpt NEO® is non-invasive, you can return to your normal activities immediately after treatment—no downtime or recovery required.

Is There Any Downtime With EmSculpt NEO®?

Both treatments are non-invasive and do not require any downtime. Your muscles may feel sore in the same way that they would after a workout at the gym. Staying hydrated and eating a nutritious diet will help your muscles rebuild with more strength and tone.

Am I a Good Candidate for EmSculpt NEO® Body Sculpting?

Almost anyone looking to tone and sculpt their body can benefit from EmSculpt NEO®. However, Ideal candidates are:

  • Near their goal weight
  • Looking to increase muscle definition
  • Hoping to reduce stubborn fat that resists diet and exercise
  • Seeking a non-invasive alternative to surgery

It’s important to note that while EmSculpt NEO® reduces fat, it should not be considered a weight-loss solution. Patients with realistic expectations tend to be the most satisfied with their results.

At Manhattan Aesthetics in New York City, our experts will assess your goals and determine if EmSculpt NEO® is the right option for you.
