The EMSCULPT® Neo uses a unique combination of synchronised radiofrequency (RF) heating and HIFEM+ in a single treatment, the innovative combination designed to eliminate fat cells and / or build muscle. Can be used in muscle building mode only to strengthen muscles or for functional wellness. Ideal for either aesthetic goals or functional improvements.
The EMSCULPT Neo is an advancement from the EMSCULPT, with the inclusion of Synchronised Radio Frequency and far more intense muscle contractions. For treatment, EMSCULPT Neo applicators with synchronised RF electrodes are placed on the body where they emit RF heating and high intensity magnetic fields simultaneously.
The HIFEM+ technology induces 20,000 muscle contractions in a single 30 minute session, at an intensity level not achievable during a voluntary workout. In addition, RF selectively heats the area to gently warm the muscles, getting them ready for activation; or in fat burning mode, the higher temperature of 42-43°C is reached, which leads to breakdown of the fat (lipolysis) with residues of the cells slowly removed by the body.
The combination of HIFEM+ technology and RF increases the hypertrophy or muscle growth, and increases muscle fibers (hyperplasia) in the target area.
Treatments goals can be primarily aesthetic or for improvements in strength, or a combination of both.
Clinical studies suggest, after 3 abdominal treatments with results measured 3 months after the final treatment:
- Muscle growth of 25%, a level equivalent to 12 to 16 weeks of resistance training, 30% fat reduction
- 19% improvement in diastasis recti (abdominal separation) – if lower back pain is experienced in combination with muscle separation, then treatment of abdomen and glutes is recommended
- An average reduction of waist circumference of up to 5.9cm, when fat reduction mode was used in combination with muscle building in the abdominal area.
For more details, please refer to clinical study.
Treatment sessions can be adjusted to use the HIFEM+ technology only or to combine the synchonised RF with HIFEM+ to address your main concern:
- Fat reduction or
- Fat reduction and muscle tone and firmness or
- Muscle tone, firmness and strengthening including for postural or rehabilitation purposes
Suitable areas for treatment:
- Abdomen
- Lateral abdomen (obliques)
- Front and back thighs
- Upper arms
The EMSCULPT Neo is FDA cleared for:
- The improvement of abdominal tone
- Strengthening, toning and firming of buttocks, thighs and calves
- Improvement of muscle tone and firmness in arms
- Non-invasive lipolysis (breakdown of fat) of the abdomen and thighs
- Reduction in circumference of the abdomen and thigh.
The EMSCULPT Neo has been enhanced with the Neo Functional Wellness protocol, which focuses on optimising muscle function and activation to support overall body health. This upgraded program integrates advanced technologies, including High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) and Radiofrequency (RF), to promote muscle strength and growth.
The Neo Functional Wellness protocol emphasises the importance of muscle activation through guided movement and neuromuscular engagement, aiming to enhance functional performance. By focusing on these aspects, the protocol is designed to support muscle conditioning, improve posture, and facilitate efficient movement patterns.
Research supports the efficacy of HIFEM and RF technologies in promoting muscle hypertrophy and enhancing muscle strength. By integrating these technologies within the Neo Functional Wellness framework, the EMSCULPT Neo aims to assist in muscle engagement and functional health, which can contribute to the maintenance of an active lifestyle.
Please note that individual outcomes may vary, and it is essential to consult with a qualified healthcare provider to determine the most suitable treatment plan for your specific needs. All protocols align with the standards set forth by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) and the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA).

- Intramuscular fat decrease.
- Temporary joint or tendon pain.
- Local erythema or skin redness.
- Increased menstrual flow in females.
- Panniculitis.
Following EMSCULPT Neo treatment some people experience:
Dizziness - ensure you are taking deep breaths in through your nose and out your mouth, deep into your belly to avoid shallow breaths that may lead to hyperventilation.
Some muscle soreness.
Thirst - make sure you remain hydrated for the next 24-48 hours.
You will not feel that intense muscle soreness like you would after an intense gym workout because of the tapping phase during treatment that assist in the elimination of waste.
Post-treatment instructions:
Avoid activities that might dehydrate you, like saunas.
Usual exercise can be resumed after 24 hours. Do not do weight training or intense exercise for 24 hours following your treatment. Light walking is okay.
EMSCULPT® Neo should not be used if you have any of the following at the time of treatments:
Pulmonary insufficiency.
Injured or otherwise impaired muscles.
Disturbance of temperature or pain perception.
Hemorrhagic conditions.

Acute inflammations.
Contagious skin disease.
Metal implants near the treated areas.
An electrical implant anywhere in the body.
Drug pumps.
A history or current malignant cancer.
Pregnant or breastfeeding.
Cardiovascular diseases (e.g., peripheral arterial disease, thrombophlebitis and thrombosis).
EMSCULPT Neo must not be applied over:
Head, neck, spinal cord, heart and testes.
Pelvic or low back area when a metal containing intrauterine device (IUD) is present.
Swollen or neoplastic tissues, space occupying lesions or skin eruptions.
You are advised to wear comfortable clothing, without any metal zippers or buttons, so the application area can be easily accessed. The treatment is delivered to the skin not over clothing. You will be asked to remove all metallic accessories, including piercings, and electronic devices.

FAQs
EMSCULPT® Neo addresses unwanted fat and/or improves muscle tone and strength. Some people can see improvement after the first treatment. However, optimal results are seen 2 to 3 months after the last treatment (4 to 6 treatments is recommended). A healthy lifestyle is also required for results to be evident. People who exercise the targeted muscle groups outside of the treatments tend to see better results. Fat cells destroyed by the treatment are permanent. However, weight gain causes fat cells to expand, which will lead to the loss of treatment results. Muscle mass is not permanent and like muscle strength and tone acquired via traditional means, requires maintenance.
You can choose how many treatments you want. However, four treatments are recommended, with 5 to 10 days between each session. Two further maintenance sessions are also ideal. Completing the recommended number of sessions will maximise the device efficacy. Some people may require additional sessions depending on the severity of your presenting concerns.
If both fat reduction and muscle tone and strength is your goal then you will feel heat, which is comfortable, and intense muscle contractions in the treatment area. It is not a painful treatment. Most people compare the treatment to an intense workout. If only fat reduction is your goal then you will feel the heat without the muscle contractions.
A healthy lifestyle is also required for results to remain evident. People who exercise the targeted muscle groups outside of the treatments tend to see better results over time and maintain the results. Fat cells destroyed by the treatment are permanent. However, weight gain causes fat cells to expand, which will lead to the loss of obvious treatment results. Muscle mass is not permanent and like muscle strength and tone acquired via traditional means, requires maintenance.
