The most common reported side effects after EmSculpt NEO treatments are muscle soreness, tiredness, and temporary muscle pain. This sensation is similar to what you might feel after an intense workout. You may also notice some minimal skin redness which is an effect of radiofrequency heating and muscle contraction. These side effects typically go away on their own within a few hours.
You can see improvements in your muscle tone and strength within two to three weeks after your final EmSculpt NEO treatment session. Since your body needs time to process and excrete the dead fat cells through your lymphatic system, it takes approximately 3 months after the last treatment for you to see final fat reduction results.
EmSculpt NEO treatments cause supramaximal contractions to build your muscle and reduce fat. While it has not been FDA-approved for skin tightening, many clients do see some improvements in skin laxity in the area. You can consult with our specialists for alternative treatments as well if you have sagging skin issues.
EmSculpt NEO should not be an alternative for weight loss programs. It targets subcutaneous fat and shrinks the fat cells through heating and supramaximal muscle contractions, but this does not make you lose pounds. For best EmSculpt NEO results, we recommend maintaining a healthy diet and regular exercise after the treatments.
