HB: How does Emsculpt Neo work?

The treatment protocol for Emsculpt Neo® is four sessions. These sessions take 30 minutes each and will be performed once per week.

High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic technology is applied directly to the treatment area, and powerful electromagnetic energy is released to contract the muscles. Patients may experience minor muscle movements during treatment, but it is hard to notice unless you pay close attention. While radiofrequency technology simultaneously is applied to warm the abdominal fat cells at a targeted depth without affecting the surrounding areas. The radio waves heat the fat cells just enough to damage them. Then, over the next few weeks, the fat cells die and naturally get flushed out of the body. This fat reduction treatment is only available for use in the abdominal area.
