What is Emsculpt Neo?
Emsculpt Neo is an FDA-approved, non-invasive body contouring procedure that combines two therapies—synchronised radiofrequency (RF) heating and high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy—into a single treatment session. This procedure helps individuals eliminate stubborn fat and build muscle simultaneously in targeted areas, including:
Abdomen
Buttocks
Love handles
Arms
Thighs
Calves

Who Is a Good Candidate for Emsculpt Neo?
Emsculpt Neo is suitable for individuals with a body mass index (BMI) of up to 35 who struggle with stubborn fat pockets and desire more definition and muscle tone. It can also help improve diastasis recti—separation of the abdominal muscles that can occur during and after pregnancy.
However, Emsculpt Neo may not be suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women, individuals with metal medical devices or implants such as pacemakers, or those taking certain medications.
It is important to note that Emsculpt Neo is not a weight loss technique and should not be considered a substitute for a balanced diet and regular physical activity. Consult your doctor for a personalised assessment to determine if Emsculpt Neo is right for you.
The Emsculpt Neo Procedure
During each Emsculpt Neo procedure, an applicator will be positioned on the treatment area and secured with a belt strap. The device is equipped with integrated safety features to ensure a comfortable and secure experience throughout the session.
Radiofrequency (RF) Heating
Controlled radiofrequency heats targeted muscles, increasing their temperature, similar to a warm-up activity before vigorous exercise. This heat causes subcutaneous fat cells to reach apoptosis—a natural process where fat cells are permanently damaged and gradually eliminated from the body.
HIFEM
HIFEM technology induces supramaximal muscle contractions, similar to performing 20,000 crunches or squats. This stimulates deep muscle layers, promoting muscle growth and the metabolism of fat cells. The body's lymphatic system subsequently eliminates the destroyed fat cells.
The entire procedure takes approximately 30 minutes to complete, though this may vary depending on the patient's condition and target area. After treatment, patients may experience temporary weakness or fatigue in the treated muscles. This usually goes away within 1-2 days.
Generally, individuals start noticing visible improvements within 2-4 weeks after the last treatment session. However, the body continues to eliminate fat cells and develop muscle for several weeks to months after the treatment course. Most patients achieve optimal results within three months post-treatment.
Benefits of Emsculpt Neo
The Emsculpt Neo is a popular body contouring procedure in Singapore as it offers a range of benefits, including:
1
Non-invasive
The Emsculpt Neo does not require incisions or general anaesthesia, avoiding any risks or adverse side effects associated with invasive procedures.
2
Comfortable
During the treatment, patients may experience intense yet tolerable muscle contractions along with a gentle warming sensation similar to a hot stone massage.
3
No Downtime
Once the procedure is completed, patients can return to their daily routine immediately, with no recovery period required.
4
Enhanced Body Contouring
Combining both RF and HIFEM technologies in Emsculpt Neo provides more fat reduction and muscle growth within a shorter time.

FAQs about Emsculpt Neo
To achieve optimal results, patients are generally advised to undergo a 4-week Emsculpt Neo treatment programme, with each session scheduled around 5-10 days apart. However, the number of treatments needed will vary based on the patient’s desired outcome, as well as their muscle tone and amount of fat deposits in the targeted area.
The primary difference between Emsculpt and Emsculpt Neo is the technology and approach used. The Emsculpt procedure employs only advanced HIFEM energy to tone up muscles. On the other hand, the Emsculpt Neo is an improved version of the Emsculpt that combines HIFEM energy with radiofrequency energy to help reduce fat and build muscle mass simultaneously.
The Emsculpt Neo results can last for six months to a year. Keeping a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet and regular physical activity and undergoing routine touch-up sessions can help maintain and amplify the long-term outcomes of the procedure.
