Emsculpt Neo® technology
EMSCULPT NEO® is a unique patented device in the field of aesthetic medicine that provides tissue heating by radiofrequency energy (synchronized RF) in combination with a high-intensity electromagnetic field (HIFEM™).
This is achieved using specially designed electrodes made up of interacting (synchronized) segments located at a specific distance between them.
EMSCULPT NEO® therapy is indicated for anyone who wants to reduce fat volume and to contour muscle groups in a specific body area, without following a specific diet and without undergoing intensive training.
Research has shown that the simultaneous non-invasive application of radiofrequency and electromagnetic field by EMSCULPT NEO® results in effective breakdown of fat and gain of muscle mass, observed on average in about 30%.
Fat Burning – Mechanism of Action
Adipose tissue has higher resistance and lower conductivity compared to muscles and skin. This allows easier heat accumulation.
When radiofrequency energy is applied on adipose tissue, a well established warming effect is observed. It is much more pronounced in fat than in muscles and skin.
The depth of the warming effect is determined by the thickness of the adipose tissue in the treated area.
When exposed to temperatures of 42-43°C for a certain period of time, a spontaneous programmed death of fat cells occurs. This loss of fat cells (fat apoptosis) practically leads to the breakdown of fat.
In vivo measurements show that with EMSCULPT NEO® therapy, the time to initiate fat apoptosis is reached in about 4 minutes.
Muscle mass accumulation – mechanism of action
EMSCULPT NEO® generates a high-intensity electromagnetic field (HIFEMtm), which causes thousands of supramaximal muscle contractions within a 30-minute session. The intensity of these contractions cannot be achieved during a normal intensive workout.
As a result of the improved blood supply to the muscle tissue, a number of beneficial effects are observed:
- Better supply of oxygen and nutrients;
- Better regeneration;
- Faster muscle mass accumulation (muscle hyperplasia and hypertrophy).
- Studies show that a therapy of 4 to 6 procedures with Emsculpt NEO® activates muscle growth similar to a 12 to 16 week intensive training program.
Main advantages of EMSCULPT NEO® therapy are:
- Combined effective non-invasive fat breakdown and muscle mass gain;
- Duration of 30 min. per therapy;
- No recovery period.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Who is EMSCULPT NEO® suitable for?
EMSCULPT NEO® is an excellent option for patients of any age who want to improve their quality of life and want to say goodbye to excess and stubborn fat in certain areas or parts of the body. An additional and very important effect is the simultaneous accumulation of muscle mass and body contouring in the treated area.
How does the EMSCULPT NEO® procedure work?
EMSCULPT NEO® therapy is simple, painless, usually in a lying position. Before the procedure, we will ask you to remove clothing in the treated area, as well as to remove all metal objects from you. The therapy feels like an intensive workout with moderate warming in the treated area. The procedure is painless and does not cause serious discomfort. You can return to your daily activities immediately after the session.
How long is the therapy and how many procedures are needed?
The duration of each procedure is 30 minutes. For optimal results, between 4 and 6 sessions are recommended, scheduled once a week.
When should I expect results?
Improvement is noticeable after the first session. Results continue to improve gradually. For optimal results, sessions of 4 to 6 procedures, performed once a week, are recommended.
Are there any contraindications?
EMSCULPT NEO® therapy is contraindicated in patients who have electronic or metal implants in their body (such as cardiac pacemakers, defibrillators, neurostimulators, intrauterine devices, drug pumps, etc.), in acute inflammation, severe pulmonary or cardiovascular diseases.
Are there any side effects?
Although rare, you may experience more pronounced muscle discomfort or spasm, which requires a reduction in the intensity of the electromagnetic field used. Temporary redness of the skin may be observed in the treatment area, which disappears within minutes after the end of the session.
