At NoCo MedSpa & IV Therapy, the goal is to help clients look and feel stronger, more confident, and fully aligned with their aesthetic goals. One of the most compelling offerings now available is Emsculpt NEO — a treatment that combines muscle building and fat reduction in a single, non-surgical session.
This article explains how Emsculpt NEO works, who it’s for, what to expect in treatment and results, and how to get started with us via our Emsculpt NEO service page.
What Is Emsculpt NEO?
Emsculpt NEO is an advanced body contouring technology that delivers dual energy modalities:
- HIFEM (High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic) — This induces powerful muscle contractions that exceed what voluntary exercise can achieve.
- Radiofrequency (RF) — This applies controlled heating to subcutaneous fat, encouraging fat cell breakdown and tightening of soft tissue.
The device stimulates muscles intensely while also reducing fat in the treated zone. This dual action gives Emsculpt NEO an edge over older, single-mode technologies. According to providers, typical results show up to ~30% fat reduction and ~25% increase in muscle in treated areas.
The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has also cleared Emsculpt NEO for functional wellness uses — meaning it supports core strength, mobility, and pelvic floor health.
Benefits & Uses of Emsculpt NEO
| Benefit / Use | Description |
|---|---|
| Simultaneous fat reduction & muscle gain | The combined modalities allow contouring and strengthening in one session. |
| Non-invasive, little to no downtime | No surgery, no incisions, and you can resume normal activities immediately. |
| Improved functional strength | It supports better core stability, balance, and may assist pelvic floor recovery. |
| Versatile treatment zones | Abdomen, buttocks, arms, thighs, calves, and other areas are common targets. |
| Boost to results of workouts | It complements your gym efforts, enabling more gain than training alone. |
| Gradual, natural-looking results | Changes unfold over weeks and months, not in an overnight “shock” way. |
Emsculpt NEO works on both muscle and fat, making it especially useful for people who are already relatively fit but want more definition, or who find certain areas resistant to diet and exercise.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Ideal candidates:
- Are within a healthy weight range (often BMI below ~35)
- Maintain a reasonable lifestyle of diet and exercise
- Want to target localized areas (abs, arms, butt, thighs)
- Are free of metal implants, pacemakers, or other contraindicated devices in the treatment area
- Are not pregnant
Contraindications may include:
- Implanted electronic devices
- Metal hardware in the target region
- Certain cardiac or neurological conditions
- Hernias in the treatment zone
- Pregnancy
A consultation is necessary to review medical history and ensure safety.
What the Session Looks Like
- Consultation & planning: Discuss goals, medical history, and treatment zones.
- Preparation: Skin is cleaned and applicators are applied.
- Treatment (about 30 minutes per zone): The device delivers muscle contractions and warming sensations.
- Post session: Resume daily routine; some soreness or tingling may occur.
- Follow-up & maintenance: Multiple sessions are typically needed for best results.
There is no downtime, so Emsculpt NEO fits into busy schedules.
How Many Sessions & Expected Results
Most clients need 4 to 6 sessions per treatment zone, spaced several days apart. Results begin to appear a few weeks after the last session.
Timeline:
- Week 1–2: Initial improvement
- Week 4: Noticeable tone and firmness
- Months 2–3: Peak results
- Maintenance: Periodic touch-up sessions as needed
Outcomes vary and depend on individual goals and physiology.
