EMSculpt vs EMSculpt Neo: Understanding the Key Differences

Are you considering non-invasive bodysculpting options but not sure where to begin? In the realm of non-invasive body contouring treatments, EMSculpt and EMSculpt Neo have emerged as popular options that promise impressive results. If you're considering these treatments in the Sacramento and Roseville areas, Perceptions Aesthetic Spa has options for both. When making this important body sculpting treatment evaluation, it's important to understand the differences between EMSculpt and EMSculpt Neo to make an informed decision.
EMSculpt vs EMSculpt Neo

Let’s delve into the specifics of each treatment to help you choose the one that best suits your needs.

Understanding EMSculpt

EMSculpt is a nonsurgical FDA-approved is a cutting-edge body contouring treatment that uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to induce powerful muscle contractions. These contractions help build muscle mass and burn fat, leading to a more toned and sculpted appearance. EMSculpt is particularly effective for targeting common problem areas such as the abdomen, buttocks, arms, and thighs.  Muscles are tightened, toned and strengthened similar to 20,000 manual crunches or squats. Deep supermaximal contractions target the muscle while burning fat in the process.

Key Points about EMSculpt

  • Utilizes electromagnetic energy to stimulate muscle contractions
  • Builds muscle mass and burns fat simultaneously
  • Ideal for toning and sculpting specific areas of the body
  • Non-invasive and requires no downtime

Introducing EMSculpt Neo

EMSculpt Neo takes body contouring to the next level by combining the benefits of HIFEM technology with radiofrequency (RF) energy. This innovative combination allows EMSculpt Neo to simultaneously target muscles and fat cells, providing comprehensive results in a shorter treatment time. EMSculpt Neo is designed to not only tone muscles but also reduce fat, offering a more holistic approach to body sculpting.

Key Points about EMSculpt Neo

  • Combines HIFEM technology with radiofrequency energy
  • Targets both muscles and fat cells for comprehensive results
  • Reduces fat while building muscle mass
  • Provides a more holistic approach to body sculpting

Choosing the Right Treatment for You

EMSculpt relies on advanced HIFEM technology to tone muscles and achieve fat reduction. EMSculpt Neo is the first treatment to combine the HIFEM with Radio-Frequency (RF). This added boost allows increased blood supply to muscles so they build faster and stronger while also heating the fat cells which are then metabolized by the body. If you exercise regularly, want to give your body a more sculpted and defined appearance, and have a less of a severe fat reduction need, our EMSculpt is a great option for you. Diastasis recti is another reason to choose EMSculpt. Targeting and strengthening the abdominal wall with EMSculpt has been proven to assist in the closure of the gap created by diastasis recti.

Both EMSculpt and EMSculpt Neo offer unique benefits for individuals looking to enhance their physique without surgery or downtime and both treatments will help to achieve muscle building, fat burning and toning. By understanding the key differences between these two treatments, and scheduling a consult with one of our clinicians, you can make an informed decision that aligns with your body contouring goals. During a consultation, we can assess the areas you would like to treat and assess your body goals and lifestyle, which enables us to create a treatment plan that will optimize your results.

Whether you choose EMSculpt or EMSculpt Neo at Perceptions Aesthetic Spa, rest assured that you’re embarking on a transformative journey towards a more sculpted and confident you.

Emsculpt® Body Sculpting FAQ

Several treatments in close succession are recommended to achieve optimal results from Emsculpt®. We suggest that patients start with four to six treatments and maintain results with a follow-up treatment every six months.

Emsculpt® should not be not be uncomfortable.  After treatment, patients may experience some slight soreness, similar to after an intense workout. This side effect should fade within 24 hours of treatment.

Emsculpt® requires no downtime or missed work. Patients can resume their regular daily activities, including exercise, immediately.

Emsculpt® and liposuction are both body contouring treatments, but they work very differently. Liposuction surgically removes fat cells through a small incision using suction. Conversely, Emsculpt® burns fat and tones the muscles using a non-surgical approach. With Emsculpt®, electromagnetic energy stimulates muscle contractions, which build muscle tone and burn fat. Unlike liposuction, Emsculpt® is non-surgical and non-invasive.

This treatment is a good fit for many of our patients. We find that the best results develop on patients who live a healthy lifestyle and are close to their ideal weight but seek to build muscle and refine their body shape.  Schedule a consultation or contact our office to find out if Emsculpt® is a good fit for you.

Emsculpt® is not a weight-loss treatment. It was created to tone and shape the body, not drop pounds. Some patients may experience weight loss after their procedure, but this is not expected or required to see results. Many patients find their Emsculpt® results are very motivating, encouraging them to eat better and exercise more frequently, which may result in post-treatment weight loss.

Exilis Ultra 360™ is another option available to our patients. Emsculpt® is ideal for tightening and toning muscle, while Exilis Ultra 360™ focuses on fat reduction and skin tightening. Our skilled technicians and medical staff can help you choose the most suitable option for your body type and goals.  Many patients choose both procedures for exceptional results.
