Overview

What Is Emsculpt NEO?

Emsculpt NEO is a non-invasive body contouring treatment that burns fat and builds muscle at the same time, combining radiofrequency (RF) energy with high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy (HIFEM+) in a single applicator. The RF energy heats and gradually destroys underlying fat cells while the HIFEM+ energy stimulates rapid, powerful muscle contractions your body can’t achieve through voluntary exercise alone. The treated fat cells are naturally metabolized and flushed from the body over the following weeks, while the muscle fibers respond to the contractions much like they would to an intense workout.

Available at The Piazza Center in Austin, TX, Emsculpt NEO requires no surgery and no downtime — patients return to work or their normal routine immediately after each session.

Results Timeline

Most patients notice initial changes in muscle tone and fat reduction around 30 days after completing their sessions, with results continuing to develop over the following weeks as treated fat cells clear the body.

Dual-Mechanism Technology
How It Works

RF &
HIFEM+, together.

Emsculpt NEO delivers radiofrequency energy to heat and gradually destroy underlying fat cells while simultaneously using HIFEM+ energy to trigger rapid, powerful muscle contractions — the equivalent of thousands of crunches or squats compressed into a single 30-minute session. No other non-surgical treatment addresses fat and muscle in the same visit.

  • Radiofrequency (RF)
  • HIFEM+ Energy
  • No Downtime

Why Choose Emsculpt NEO

Two goals,
one treatment.

Emsculpt NEO gives patients a way to address fat and muscle tone together, without surgery or time away from work and life.

Comparing Options

Emsculpt NEO or
CoolSculpting?

Both are non-surgical, but they solve different problems. CoolSculpting reduces fat only, including areas Emsculpt NEO can’t treat, like under the chin. Emsculpt NEO reduces fat and builds muscle in the same session. Dr. Piazza will help you decide which is right for your goals during your consultation.

Results

Your Emsculpt NEO Results

Patients typically see an average of up to 30% fat reduction and 25% muscle growth in treated areas, with initial changes visible around 30 days after completing a session series and continued improvement over the following weeks as treated fat cells are naturally cleared from the body.

Because Emsculpt NEO builds real muscle and eliminates real fat cells, results can be long-lasting when paired with a consistent diet and exercise routine.
