Emsculpt

Emsculpt is a non surgical body shaping and fat reduction treatment that not only reduces fat but helps to tone and strengthen the muscles in the areas treated.

Unlike fat reduction treatments like CoolSculpting and Liposuction which target the fat directly. Emsculpt’s fat reduction results are instead a knock on effect from what the device is doing to your muscles.

Emsculpt treatment can contract the muscles beyond what is possible through physical training, producing improved muscle tone and enhanced fat metabolism. The from Emsculpt are backed by 7 clinical studies which show fat loss as well as defined and sculpted muscles to the abdomen and buttocks following a series of 4 treatments.

Emsculpt is available at our clinics in  and .

We also provide Emsculpt Neo, a fat-burning and muscle-building treatment suitable for patients with a higher BMI. Emsculpt NEO is exclusively available in .

What are the benefits of Emsculpt?

Emsculpt Neo

Emsculpt Neo is a newly improved fat burning and muscle building treatment that we now offer patients at our Buckinghamshire clinic. Introduced in late 2020, this advanced body contouring treatment builds upon the legacy of EMSculpt’s standard treatment by fusing 2 technologies into one for better results. Patients can now burn up to 30% more fat and build 25% more muscle with minimal effort or downtime thanks to the introduction of radiofrequency (RF) stimulation, which has the power to destroy fat cells to a greater degree. Meanwhile, EMSculpt’s electromagnetic fields trigger of muscle contractions to help patients build up muscle mass at the same time. 

It is the first and only technology that blends the of high-intensity electromagnetic energy (HIFEM+) with radiofrequency (RF) fat burning. This has made the treatment once of the most effective ways to enhance fat and increase muscle growth in the fastest way possible.

Emsculpt Neo has been approved by the FDA to treat the same areas at the standard EMSculpt device:

The main benefit of choosing Emsculpt Neo is its body sculpting results. Independent studies have proven that the technology outperforms other non-invasive body sculpting treatments by delivering higher percentages of fat loss and muscle toning. Other methods a 22.4% loss in fat, and a percent muscle growth after 4 30-minute treatment sessions. But Emsculpt Neo goes further by generating 30% more fat reduction and 25% more muscle growth on average. It is ideal for patients who have more fat to shift, as this technology can treat patients whose BMI is higher than average (up to 35). The main are outlined below:

The best way to determine which body sculpting procedure is right for you is to seek out a consultation with our trained practitioners. They will assess the areas that you would like to treat before either Emsculpt or Emsculpt Neo as the preferred treatment option. In general, the standard Emsculpt procedure is better suited to patients who have less excess fat to lose. It’s ideal for patients who only need to trim and sculpt their figures, like those who want to remove pockets of fat around their six-packs for example. Emsculpt Neo’s intensive treatment has the power to burn through more fat, making it ideal for patients with a higher BMI. Our practitioners will walk through your body goals with you before the best treatment to suit your own unique needs.
