About Emsculpt Neo
Emsculpt Neo is the first and only non-invasive body sculpting treatment for to build muscle by combining both radio frequency and high-intensity electromagnetic energies. Each treatment is equivalent to doing 20,000 sit-ups at supra-maximal contraction, the strongest you can achieve. It is 20% stronger than the original Emsculpt machine enabling the muscle to be contracted at a much higher intensity. It also causes permanent reduction in fat cells when certain programs are used. Radiance Aesthetic Clinic is 1 of only 10 clinics in the country with this exclusive machine.
The Problem
As we age it is also harder to build muscle due to reduced levels of oestrogen and testosterone. If you have stubborn areas of fat that you would like to reduce, while adding muscle to get yourself in your best shape, Emsculpt Neo is the answer! Likewise it is great if you are a gym addict and want to seriously boost your fitness.
Other treatments such as our CoolSculpting non-surgical liposuction are great for certain areas but do not stimulate muscle growth, nor can they treat leg fat. Typical areas that respond well to Emsculpt Neo are tummies, bingo wings, triceps, legs, calves and muscle stimulation giving a bum lift.
How It Works
Due to the radio frequency heating, muscle temperature quickly rises. 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 (fat cells are permanently damaged and slowly removed from the body). The HIFEM energy then stimulates the muscle at 100% exertion compared to a level of 30-40% that could be achieved with extreme voluntary effort in the gym. This results in an increase in the number and growth of muscle fibres and cells.
A 30 minute session is equivalent to 20,000 sit ups. There is no DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) due to the heating of the tissue and the final pulse contractions that remove the lactic acid from the muscle. Clinical studies showed an average of 30% reduction in subcutaneous fat and a 25% increase in muscle mass. Increased muscle means more fat is burnt by the body on a daily basis, while maintaining the muscle.

What's the difference between emsculpt and EmSculpt Neo?
There is no preparation needed. Applicators are applied to the part of the body that is being treated and begins by heating the muscle and fat. Then your aesthetician will gradually increase in the intensity of the muscle contractions. The contractions cycle through different rhythms ending up with pulses to eliminate the lactic acid to avoid delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). A treatment equivalent to 20,ooo muscle contractions at a level that you would never be able to do takes just 30 minutes. A course of 4 treatments 7-10 days apart are required.
We advise a higher protein diet than you would normally have to give the body the building blocks for muscle growth.
Emsculpt Neo can sculpt the body by helping reduce up to 30% fat reduction of any area treated and 25% muscle gain. You may request another treatment or course at 3 months to get even more visible results.
Treatable areas:
- Abdomen
- Thighs
- Outer and inner thighs
- Backs of legs
- Bingo wings/triceps
- Biceps
- Calves
- Bum
It is also used to treat muscle separation after pregnancy (diastasis recti).
The cost of 4 treatments for large areas such as the abdomen, thighs, backs of legs or bum lift is £3,000 per area with a limited time offer of £2,000. Additional large areas are at a 50% reduction, £1,500.
The cost of 4 treatments for small areas such a bingo wings/triceps, biceps, calves or inner thighs is £2,500 with a limited time offer of £1,500. Additional small areas are at a 50% reduction, £1,250.
Follow up treatments are also available at a reduced rate.
EmSculpting increases the amount of muscle in the area as well as giving permanent fat reduction. Increased muscle utilises the surrounding fat and also increases the metabolic rate so has extra advantages. It can also cause visceral fat reduction (the fat inside the abdomen that can lead to heart disease and is more common in men and ‘apple shaped’ women). EmSculpt gives muscle definition without the need to exercise regularly, or increased muscle definition with exercise, although we would always recommend regular exercise. EmSculpt can also be used to treat the legs and give a bum lift.
CoolSculpting can treat the ‘under chin’ area and can be used to achieve fat loss before addressing muscle stimulation. Together CoolSculpting and EmSculpt Neo can really give you the all over body sculpting results.
The 4 treatments are 7-10 days apart. It is good to let the muscle repair and grow in between treatments as they are equivalent to rigorous sessions in the gym. You can, however, do more gentle exercise and train the other muscle groups. After your course, you can resume your normal gym activities with your additional muscle, strength and endurance levels.
There are various settings on the machine and the radio-frequency can be adjusted to get minimal to no fat reduction but you still get the heating of the skin that allows the increased levels of muscle contraction.
EmSculpt is perfect for those with no weight to lose.
A bum lift uses settings to stimulate maximal muscle stimulation to lift and increase the size of the buttocks, not reduce the size.
If you have a copper coil you can only have arm and calf treatments.
If you have metal implants then you can only have a treatment on an area that is half a body away (please ask us).
If you have a pacemaker or cancer or a skin condition in the area you cannot have treatments.
Please inform us if you have any medical conditions or metal implants – including a copper coil. You will need to remove all metal, jewelry and smart watches.
There is zero downtime with EmSculpt NEO although you may be aware that your muscles have had a good workout! After each session we recommend you drink plenty of water and eat plenty of protein and allow your muscles to recover and build. Take it easy with exercise during your course but to maintain results you must exercise. Clinical studies showed on average a 30% reduction in subcutaneous fat and a 25% increase in muscle mass. Increased muscle also means more fat is burnt by the body on a daily basis just to maintain the muscle which is a great side effect.
Regular exercise to keep stimulating the muscle will prolong the results. It is hard to build muscle in the gym but much easier to maintain it with lesser degrees of exercise.
You can start seeing results immediately with the muscle tone but the fat takes up to 3 months for full results.
Coolscuplting only works on the fat, where as EmSculpt works on the fat but also the muscle in the area. Your aesthetician will be able to assess your body and guide you in the right direction to get you best results.
EmSculpt increases muscle mass by up to 16%where as the NEO which we have increased muscle up to 25%.
EmSculpt reduces fat by up to 19% where as the NEO which we have reduces fat by up to 30% This is due to the added radio frequency in the emsculpt NEO.
