What Is EMSCULPT NEO®?
EMSCULPT NEO® is a non-invasive body contouring treatment that builds muscle and reduces fat at the same time. Whether you are wanting consistent long-term results or you are getting
ready for a big event like a vacation or wedding, EMSCULPT NEO® can help get you looking and feeling toned and fit. By combining high-intensity electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy with radiofrequency (RF) heating, EMSCULPT NEO® targets both muscle and fat in a single session — making it a popular choice for individuals seeking visible toning and enhanced definition without surgery or downtime. The treatment is especially effective on the abdominal area and buttocks, helping to strengthen and sculpt these key muscle groups.
At Dauwe Plastic Surgery, we offer EMSCULPT NEO® to patients who want to enhance their physique without the recovery associated with traditional procedures like liposuction. Our experienced team tailors each treatment plan to your goals, ensuring safe, comfortable sessions and results that complement your natural shape.

How Does EMSCULPT NEO® Work?
EMSCULPT NEO® works by combining two advanced technologies — radiofrequency (RF) energy and high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy — to simultaneously target both fat and muscle. This dual-action approach makes it one of the most efficient and comprehensive non-surgical body contouring treatments available today.
Step 1: Fat Reduction with Radiofrequency (RF) Energy
The procedure begins with controlled RF heating, which warms the underlying tissues to an optimal temperature. This achieves two goals:
- Fat Cell Breakdown: The heat damages excess fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by the body over time.
- Muscle Preparation: At the same time, the warming effect primes the muscles for a more effective contraction during the next phase of treatment.
Step 2: Muscle Building with HIFEM Energy
Once the muscles are warmed, EMSCULPT NEO® delivers high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy to cause rapid and intense muscle contractions, known as supramaximal contractions. These are much stronger and faster than what you can achieve through voluntary exercise.
- In a single 30-minute session, the treated area may undergo the equivalent of thousands of crunches or squats.
- These contractions force the muscles to adapt by remodeling their inner structure, increasing muscle fiber density and volume.
- Over a series of treatments, patients typically experience a noticeable increase in muscle tone, strength, and definition.
While EMSCULPT NEO® is a powerful non-surgical solution for fat reduction and muscle toning, patients seeking more dramatic reshaping, such as the removal of larger fat deposits or excess skin, may benefit more from surgical procedures like liposuction or a tummy tuck. Our team can help you determine which approach is best suited to your goals.
Are There Side Effects Associated with EMSCULPT NEO®?
EMSCULPT NEO® is considered safe when performed by a qualified professional for the right candidates. Common side effects are typically mild and temporary; these may include:
- Muscle soreness (similar to post-workout fatigue)
- Redness, warmth, or slight swelling in the treated area
- Tingling sensations during or shortly after treatment
These effects typically resolve within a few hours to a couple of days. There is no required downtime, so most patients can resume daily activities immediately after each session.
How Long Do EMSCULPT NEO® Results Last?
Many patients begin noticing results within a few weeks after their last session, with optimal results developing over 2 to 3 months. Results are optimized when the consistent treatments are performed over time. While the fat reduction achieved is considered permanent (since the treated fat cells are eliminated), the muscle tone improvements require maintenance — just like with regular exercise. Periodic treatments and a consistent fitness routine can help prolong results.
How Much Does EMSCULPT NEO® Cost?
The cost of EMSCULPT NEO® can vary depending on the number of treatment areas, the total number of sessions recommended, and your provider’s location. During your consultation, our team will provide you with a detailed cost estimate based on your personalized treatment plan that is tailored to your aesthetic goals. At Dauwe Plastic Surgery, EMSCULPT is offered as part of a monthly membership for consistent long-term results or as a concentrated package to help get ready for an event (e.g. vacation, wedding, etc.).
