“Being a Nurse I look at medical and surgical procedures slightly differently. So I guess you can say I’m more critical than most. But I only have the upmost positive take away from my experience with Dr Darren Smith and all of his staff. Everything from beginning (consultation) to end (post op care) was exceptional. He listened to my concerns and guided me to a natural enhanced outcome …
Dr Smith takes a personal approach and really listens with guidance toward the best fit for your concerns. I can’t be happier and will definitely be back.”

What Is Body Contouring?

Body contouring refers to a range of cosmetic procedures that alter the shape and form of the body. Traditional surgical body contouring techniques include the tummy tuck, breast augmentation, liposuction, and brachioplasty (arm lift).
While effective, these invasive procedures require significant downtime for recovery. Groundbreaking technologies like Emsculpt Neo now offer non-invasive alternatives for successfully contouring the body.

The Shift Towards Non-Invasive Procedures

In recent years, there has been a strong shift away from invasive surgical body contouring towards non or minimally-invasive solutions. People are seeking effective body-shaping treatments with little to no downtime.
Emsculpt Neo meets this growing demand in the following ways:
  • Non-invasive and no anesthesia required
  • No incisions, scarring, or pre/post-surgical preparation
  • Resume normal activities immediately
  • More affordable overall cost
  • Safe for all body areas
  • Customizable according to individual goals

What Is Emsculpt Neo?

The Next Generation in Body Contouring

Emsculpt Neo represents a major leap forward in non-invasive body contouring technology. This machine simultaneously builds muscle and burns fat, all while leaving the surrounding tissue unaffected.

The Technology Behind Emsculpt Neo

Emsculpt Neo achieves its dual fat-burning and muscle-toning effects through the synergy of two technologies:
  • HIFEM® (High Intensity Focused Electromagnetic): This delivers focused electromagnetic energy to trigger supramaximal contractions that build muscle cells and fibers.
  • RF (Radio Frequency): This penetrates tissue to selectively heat fat cells and induce lipolysis, resulting in fat reduction.
The combined HIFEM®+RF energies provide visible muscle growth and up to 30% fat reduction. Treatment areas include abs, arms, glutes, thighs, calves, and buttocks.

What Are The Benefits of Emsculpt Neo?

Compared to traditional surgical body contouring procedures, Emsculpt Neo offers numerous advantages:
  • Non-invasive, no downtime
  • Simultaneously builds muscle and burns fat
  • Treat multiple body areas in one session
  • Customizable intensity levels
  • Long-lasting results with ongoing muscle growth for 3-6 months post-treatment
  • Natural looking outcome that complements healthy lifestyle
  • Clinically proven safe and effective
Overall, Emsculpt Neo provides transformative body contouring through a 30-minute, completely non-invasive treatment.

What is body contouring and how does Emsculpt Neo fit into the picture?

Body contouring refers to various procedures that reshape and refine different areas of the body by addressing fat cells, loose skin, and muscle tone to meet aesthetic goals.

Emsculpt Neo is a non-surgical body contouring treatment that uses radiofrequency energy and high-intensity focused electromagnetic technology to reduce fat and build muscle, providing a non-invasive alternative to traditional body contouring surgeries.

Am I a good candidate for body contouring?

Ideal candidates for body contouring are individuals close to their ideal weight who have pockets of fat or areas of skin laxity that do not respond to a healthy diet and exercise.

Non-surgical body contouring with Emsculpt Neo is particularly suited for those looking for fat reduction treatments and muscle toning without the downtime associated with invasive procedures.

What areas can be treated with non-surgical body contouring procedures like Emsculpt Neo?

Emsculpt Neo is versatile and can target multiple areas for fat reduction and muscle definition, including the abdominal muscles, buttocks (also known as the banana roll), arms, and thighs. It’s designed to address both fat deposits and muscle contractions to sculpt a smoother, more defined body shape.

How does Emsculpt Neo differ from liposuction and other body sculpting procedures?

Unlike liposuction, which is a form of invasive plastic surgery that removes fat cells from the body, Emsculpt Neo is a non-invasive procedure that requires no surgery, no anesthesia, and has minimal downtime.

It not only reduces fat but also helps in collagen production and muscle building, offering a comprehensive approach to body sculpting.

What can I expect in terms of results and recovery after an Emsculpt Neo session?

Results can vary, but many patients report seeing a noticeable improvement in treated areas within weeks post-treatment, with continued improvements as collagen formation and fat reduction progress.

Recovery is minimal, allowing patients to return to their daily activities immediately, making it a convenient option for those with a busy lifestyle. It’s important to have realistic expectations and understand that results may differ based on individual health history and body composition.
