How does Emsculpt Neo work?
During a treatment session, you’ll lie down while an expert applies the device to your troublesome areas – think thighs, buttocks, abdomen.
The device will induce some pretty intense muscle contractions that help to build and tone your muscles. The kind of muscle contractions we’re talking about aren’t like anything you’d be able to achieve through even an intense workout.
And, while your muscle fibres are getting their swag on, the radiofrequency component heats the underlying fat cells, sending your metabolic activity into overdrive. The result? Increased fat reduction (by up to 30%) as well as body contouring.
Benefits of Treatment
Aside from the muscle-building and body-sculpting benefits, the advantages extend beyond its effectiveness.
Emsculpt Neo treatment is quick – taking around 30 minutes per session. There’s also minimal downtime, no required anaesthetic and immediate, noticeable results.
The full extent of treatment can be seen in the few weeks following treatment sessions thanks to the collagen remodelling that occurs, leading to further fat loss and increased muscle definition. There are also certain side effects of treatment (good ones!) which are worth a mention.
Patients often report that their toned physique from Emsculpt Neo treatment causes their fitness levels to rise and they achieve visible results quicker than they could through exercise alone. They also report faster recovery times between workouts and enhanced endurance performance.
You might also see improvements in your metabolism. Thanks to more lean muscle tissue, your basal metabolic rate (BMR) should be elevated, meaning you may burn calories more efficiently even at rest.
How is Emsculpt Neo treatment different from other fat reduction procedures?
Instead of only reducing fat cells like other body contouring treatments, Emsculpt Neo encourages muscle growth. And the great thing about more muscle mass is that it helps your body burn more fat while you’re resting.
This treatment is particularly effective at targeting stubborn fat in areas that are resistant to exercise and diet.
If your goal is to lose weight, don’t be disheartened if you don’t see such a significant decrease in the number on the scales. Muscle weighs more than fat – so a leaner, sculpted body won’t necessarily weigh less than a body with excess fat.
Is treatment painful?
The treatment itself shouldn’t be painful. Patients liken the sensation of muscle contractions to a similar discomfort felt during an intense workout.
You may have some temporary muscle soreness after your session but this usually subsides within a few days.
How long do results last?
Your lifestyle will play a big part in how long results last. If you continue to live a healthy lifestyle and consume a balanced diet, you could see the effects of treatment for a year or longer.
Emsculpt Neo treatments aren’t limited (but always attend a licensed, experienced practitioner) so you can opt for top-up treatments as and when you need them.
