EMSCULPT NEO Frequently Asked Questions

During the 30-minute EMSCULPT NEO procedure, patients typically feel non-painful tightened muscle contractions and a bit of heat from the RF technology. There are no incisions or injections involved and no gels or liquids are used. Once the treatment is started, over the first 5-10 minutes the intensity of the treatment is gradually increased to 100% and will stay the same for the remainder of the treatment. Throughout the session, expect changes in phases from more intense to less intense to allow for a comfortable session, which imitates normal workout cycle.

EMSCULPT NEO cannot be used for just anyone with a desire for a leaner silhouette. The ideal candidate should be at or near their ideal weight. A BMI under 35 is necessary for results to be optimal. Additional restrictions would be anyone who is pregnant, wears a pacemaker, or has a metal mesh or medical hardware anywhere in the treatment area.

EMSCULPT NEO works best when it is performed as a series of treatments. One treatment alone will not yield the results expected. Results develop gradually as the body processes the treatment.

Patients typically start to see their EMSCULPT NEO results about two to four weeks after their last treatment. We recommend that patients get at least 1 a week for 4 weeks for optimal results, followed by a series of maintenance sessions if necessary spaced 2-3 months apart or as you see fit based on your lifestyle.

Results are permanent if – and only if — you continue to eat a healthy, balanced diet and engage in regular exercise. You need to work at keeping those newly toned muscles tight and maintaining your weight. Follow-up treatment after six months for one session is sometimes necessary, but we will always check in with you to make sure you love your results.

Immediately after treatment, you may feel slight soreness or tenderness in the treated area – this is to be expected. There are no marks on the skin after the procedure. One may see some redness where the heat was produced via the RF technology, but it will dissipate within an hour post treatment.

The simple answer is to find a real body contouring expert like our trained staff at Youtherapy. We will guide you and create a treatment plan to help you decide which device, or even a combination of options, will give you the best possible result.
