What Are the Benefits of Body Sculpting?

Body sculpting uses various techniques to shape and tone the body. The use of technology has paved the way for non-invasive procedures such as the EMsculpt NEO. This treatment uses a combination of radio frequency and high-intensity electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy to help patients achieve their desired body contouring goals. If you want to know more about what EMsculpt NEO is, and how it can help you achieve muscle growth and fat reduction, keep on reading this article. Our professionals at Pure Health Clinics in Idaho are specialized in body sculpting techniques and will answer all of your questions.

What is EMsculpt NEO?

The EMsculpt NEO is a revolutionary body contouring device that is designed to target both muscle and fat. This treatment is performed using an applicator that emits synchronized RF and HIFEM+ energies. The radio frequency energy heats the muscles and fat to a temperature that is optimal for stress exposure. This prepares the muscles for exposure to stress, similar to what a warm-up activity does before any workout. The temperature in the subcutaneous fat damages fat cells and slowly removes them from the body, with studies showing a 30% reduction in subcutaneous fat.

The HIFEM+ energy contracts the muscle fibers in the treated area at intensities that are not achievable during voluntary workout. Extreme stress forces the muscle to adapt, resulting in an increase in the number and growth of muscle fibers and cells.

The EMsculpt NEO treatment provides several distinct advantages over other body contouring technologies. With an EMsculpt NEO treatment, patients can expect a 25% increase in muscle mass and a near 30% decrease in subcutaneous fat in the treated area. This is equivalent to 12-16 weeks of intense workouts.

What You Need to Know About EMsculpt NEO

One of the benefits of the EMsculpt NEO treatment is that it is non-invasive. There is no surgery, anesthesia, needles, or downtime needed for this treatment. The EMsculpt NEO is a great option for anyone who may benefit from less fat and more muscle. This treatment is particularly useful for those who are just starting a new workout routine.

At Pure Health Clinics, we understand that patients may have many questions before attending their consultation, this is why we want to share some of the frequently asked questions, so that you can learn more about what this treatment will achieve. Let’s go over them:

The EMsculpt NEO is not intended for weight reduction

While patients may lose weight during the process, that is not the primary goal of this treatment. The EMsculpt NEO treatment does not require any special diet or supplement. However, if patients combine the benefits of the EMsculpt NEO with an optimal diet and proper regular exercise, they can maximize their results.

The EMsculpt NEO treatment is not painful

The muscle contraction will be intense, but it should never be painful. This treatment can be used to treat the abdomen, buttocks, arms, and calves.

The EMsculpt NEO works

It is the most researched body contouring technology available. HIFEM has shown safety and efficacy in seven studies to date. As with any treatment, results will vary, but it can take up to three months following the last treatment to see maximal benefit. It takes time for the muscle and fat to respond and adapt to the treatments.

Am I a Candidate for Emsculpt NEO Body Sculpting?

As with many treatments, EMsculpt NEO has certain limitations due to how it works on the body. For example, it cannot be used on the entire body, as it shouldn’t be used on the chest, head or spine. At the same time, people who present the following characteristics should not receive this treatment:

  • Pregnancy
  • Pacemaker
  • Metal or electronic implants
  • Bleeding disorders
  • Heart or lung problems
  • Skin sensitivity issues
