Emsculpt Neo
Emsculpt Neo is a noninvasive body contouring treatment available in Boston and Newton. It is designed to build muscle and reduce fat simultaneously. Combining HIFEM energy and RF heating triggers intense muscle contractions while eliminating fat cells. At Volpe Plastic Surgery, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Volpe only uses advanced technology and techniques to sculpt the abdomen, buttocks, arms, and legs—all without surgery or downtime.
How Does Emsculpt Neo Work?
Emsculpt Neo combines two powerful technologies in a single treatment to deliver exceptional results:
- High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) Technology: HIFEM induces powerful muscle contractions far more intense than you can achieve through voluntary exercise. These “supramaximal” contractions force the muscle tissue to adapt, increasing muscle density and volume. Imagine doing 20,000 sit-ups or squats in a single 30-minute session – that’s the power of HIFEM.
- Radiofrequency (RF) Heating: Simultaneously, RF energy delivers controlled heating to the fat layer beneath the skin. This heat damages fat cells, gradually eliminating them from the body. The RF energy also contributes to skin tightening, enhancing the overall contouring effect.
This synergistic combination of HIFEM and RF allows Emsculpt Neo to achieve muscle building and fat reduction in a way that no other technology can.
Areas Treated with Emsculpt Neo
Emsculpt Neo is FDA-approved for multiple areas of the body, including:
- Abdomen – Strengthen core muscles while reducing stubborn belly fat.
- Buttocks – Lift and firm for a more sculpted look without invasive procedures like implants or fillers.
- Thighs – Improve definition in both inner and outer thighs while reducing excess fat deposits.
- Arms – Tone biceps and triceps for firmer-looking upper arms.
- Calves – Enhance lower leg definition by building stronger calf muscles.
Benefits of Emsculpt Neo
Patients choose Emsculpt Neo because it offers multiple benefits:
- Increased muscle growth (up to 25% increase after treatment series)
- Fat reduction (up to 30% decrease in targeted areas)
- Non-invasive with no needles or anesthesia required
- No downtime—resume normal activities immediately after treatment
- Quick sessions—each session lasts about 30 minutes
Ideal Candidates for Emsculpt Neo
Emsculpt Neo is suitable for individuals who want to enhance muscle tone while reducing stubborn fat in targeted areas. Ideal candidates:
- Getting ready for summer?
- Post-pregnancy strengthening of core muscles
- Post-injury functional improvement
- Prevent disuse atrophy
- Reinnervate nerve pathways
- Are close to their goal weight but struggle with localized fat deposits or lack of muscle definition
- Maintain a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and proper nutrition
- Have a BMI of up to 35 (higher than traditional body contouring treatments allow)
- Want a non-surgical alternative for body sculpting without downtime
This treatment is not recommended for individuals with metal implants, pacemakers, or certain medical conditions affecting the muscles or skin in the treatment area. A consultation will determine if Emsculpt Neo is right for you.
Emsculpt vs. Other Body Contouring Treatments
Unlike CoolSculpting, SculpSure, and truSculpt—which only target fat—Emsculpt Neo builds muscle while reducing fat. Its combination of HIFEM energy and RF heating increases muscle mass by up to 25% and reduces fat by up to 30%, delivering more comprehensive body sculpting results. Additionally, the RF energy provides mild skin tightening, which other treatments lack.
For those seeking both fat reduction and enhanced muscle tone without surgery or downtime, Emsculpt Neo offers a superior solution.
What Happens During the Procedure?
Each Emsculpt Neo session lasts approximately 30 minutes per treated area. The procedure involves placing applicators on the target area (abdomen, buttocks, thighs, arms, or calves). Radiofrequency energy gently heats the muscles and underlying fat cells within minutes. HIFEM technology induces intense supramaximal contractions that engage nearly 100% of the targeted muscles.
Combining heat and contractions leads to simultaneous muscle strengthening and fat breakdown. Patients remain comfortable throughout the procedure—no anesthesia or numbing agents are required.
What to Expect After Treatment & Recovery
There is no downtime after an Emsculpt Neo session; patients can resume normal activities immediately following treatment. Common post-treatment effects include mild soreness similar to an intense workout and temporary redness or warmth in treated areas due to RF heating.
Results develop gradually as muscles strengthen and the body metabolizes excess fat over several weeks following treatment.
Cost of Emsculpt Neo
The cost of Emsculpt Neo varies depending on individual treatment plans, including the number of sessions and areas treated. Package pricing and financing options may be available. A personalized consultation is necessary to determine the exact cost based on your needs and goals.
