Concerns it addresses
What Emsculpt Neo treats
EmSculpt Neo delivers two energies through one applicator at the same time. Radiofrequency heats the fat layer until the fat cells are permanently damaged and cleared over the following weeks, while HIFEM forces the muscle into supramaximal contractions deeper than you can produce voluntarily. A thirty minute session produces roughly twenty thousand of them.

Before & After Results
Abdomen, male
One month after the last session
Four sessions to the abdomen. The muscle gain is doing as much of the work here as the fat reduction, which is what separates this from fat freezing. Image courtesy of BTL, courtesy of David Kent, M.D. Individual results may vary.
Abdomen
Six months after the last session
Results keep developing for months after the course finishes, and they hold as long as you stay roughly the same weight. Image courtesy of BTL, courtesy of Catara Medical Spa. Individual results may vary.
Abdomen, profile
After a full course
Profile is the most revealing view for abdominal work, since front-on photographs hide most of what changes. Image courtesy of BTL Aesthetics. Individual results may vary.
Upper arms
After a full course
Arms respond well because the muscle is close to the surface. Regents Park Aesthetics treats both arms in the same appointment. Image courtesy of BTL Aesthetics. Individual results may vary.
Roughly twenty thousand muscle contractions in thirty minutes.
Radiofrequency reduces fat over the same area at the same time.

Published studies on the device report around twenty five percent muscle increase and thirty percent fat reduction in the treated area. Those figures come from the manufacturer's trials and individual results vary with starting point and lifestyle.
A new shape, built in one area.
The change shows in the mirror and the fit of your clothes, while the scale may stay put, since muscle is denser than fat.

Questions patients ask
Frequently asked questions
A body device that combines radiofrequency to reduce fat with high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy to build muscle, both in the same thirty minute session. It is the successor to the original EmSculpt, which built muscle only.
People who already train and are ready for the next step: the last layer over the abdomen, the core that has felt different since a caesarean, definition to match a disciplined gym routine.
It works best within a reasonable range of your target weight, with a BMI under thirty five, looking for definition rather than a change in dress size. Patients who have had abdominal separation after pregnancy are among the most satisfied, because it rebuilds the deep muscle that crunches find so hard to reach.
£450 per session at our Marylebone clinic. The protocol is four sessions across two to three weeks, quoted as a course at consultation.
Four, spaced across two to three weeks. Keeping them close together lets the cumulative effect build.
It is intense rather than painful. You feel deep involuntary contractions building in strength, interspersed with a tapping sensation that clears lactic acid. Intensity is built up gradually and you control it.
None. You can train the same day, though muscles feel worked the following day.
Most people see a visible improvement in muscle tone and definition over a course. Patients close to their target weight looking for definition tend to be the strongest candidates, and for weight loss our medical weight management service is the better fit.
It is a body-shaping treatment, and the most important thing to know before booking. It changes body composition in one area, building muscle and reducing fat. Your weight on the scale may stay the same, since muscle is denser than fat, while the mirror tells the story.
The area feels firmer within two weeks, with visible change from week four and the peak at twelve weeks as fat continues clearing.
Muscle is maintained with normal activity and lost with prolonged inactivity, exactly like training. Treated fat cells are cleared by the body, though remaining ones can enlarge with weight gain. Most patients have a maintenance session every three to six months.
Yes, once fully healed, usually at least six months. Your clinician runs through your medical history at the consultation. Rebuilding deep abdominal muscle is one of the treatment’s strongest uses, particularly where there is abdominal separation.
Abdomen, buttocks, arms, thighs and calves.
CoolSculpting freezes and destroys fat only, and is better for a defined pocket of fat you can pinch. EmSculpt Neo reduces fat and builds muscle, and is better for definition and core strength.
