1. What is Emsculpt Neo?
Emsculpt NEO is the first and only non-invasive body shaping procedure that uses RF or radiofrequency heating for fat reduction and high intensity focused electromagnetic energy (HIFEM) for muscle strengthening and toning in a 30-minute session. The end result is more fat reduction and muscle growth than any single gold standard product, for less time and less money. Best of all, Emsculpt NEO has a broad patient appeal as it can treat patients up to BMI 35. At Shape Med Centers its the ONLY treatment we perform so our team are experts in the use of this amazing new technology.
2. How does Emsculpt NEO work?
Emsculpt NEO at Shape Med Centers is based on an applicator simultaneously emitting synchronized RF and HIFEM+ energies. Due to the radiofrequency heating, the muscle temperature quickly raises by several degrees. This prepares muscles for exposure to stress, similar to what a warm up activity does before any workout.
In less than 4 minutes, the temperature in subcutaneous fat reaches levels that cause apoptosis, i.e. fat cells are permanently damaged and slowly removed from the body. Clinical studies showed on average a 30% reduction in subcutaneous fat.
Bypassing the brain limitations, HIFEM+ energy contracts 100% of the muscle fibers in the 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. On average the muscle volume increases by 25%
