EmSculpt NEO — treatment
Body — in clinic

EMSCULPT NEO® is a non-invasive body-contouring treatment that builds muscle while reducing localized fat in a single 30-minute session. Available at Skinfolio Vancouver and West Vancouver, it combines synchronized radiofrequency heating with HIFEM® electromagnetic energy to improve strength, tone and body definition.

EMSCULPT NEO is a Health Canada–licensed medical device. It is designed for body contouring—not weight loss or a replacement for regular exercise.

Treatment reviews

What patients say about EmSculpt NEO.

★★★★★
I went to did 4 Emscuplt Neo treatment for sciatica pain management. I did not really believe that a technology can ease my pain in just half an hour. I really felt the difference after 4 treatments, especially when I took an 8 hours flight. My sciatica pain didn't flare up at all. Love this clinic!!!

What Is EMSCULPT NEO?

EMSCULPT NEO is a body-contouring platform developed by BTL Aesthetics. It is the first non-invasive treatment designed to combine muscle stimulation and radiofrequency heating simultaneously.

The device can help strengthen and tone selected muscle groups while reducing localized subcutaneous fat in the treated area. Health Canada lists the BTL EMSCULPT device family as an active licensed Class II medical device.

How Does EMSCULPT NEO Work?

HIFEM energy produces powerful, repeated muscle contractions that cannot be achieved to the same intensity through voluntary exercise. These contractions place high demand on the targeted muscles, stimulating adaptations associated with increased tone, strength and muscle mass.

At the same time, synchronized RF energy warms the muscle and subcutaneous fat. The heating supports muscle activity while triggering changes in selected fat cells, which are gradually processed by the body.

What Happens During Treatment?

A treatment applicator is positioned over the selected muscle group and secured in place. You will feel rhythmic, intense muscle contractions together with deep warmth from the radiofrequency energy.

The intensity is gradually increased according to your tolerance. Treatment takes approximately 30 minutes and does not require needles, anesthesia or incisions.

When Will I See Results?

Clinical studies demonstrate an average 25% increase in muscle mass and 30% reduction in subcutaneous fat following a complete treatment series. Results include improved muscle definition, reduced fat thickness, and enhanced body contour.

Initial improvements often appear within 6-8 weeks after completing the series, with optimal results visible at approximately 3 months as the body continues clearing destroyed fat cells and muscle tissue remodels.

Maintaining Your Results

Muscle and fat changes can be maintained longer with:

  • Regular resistance and cardiovascular exercise

  • Adequate protein and balanced nutrition

  • A stable body weight

  • Consistent sleep and recovery

  • Periodic maintenance treatments when appropriate

EMSCULPT NEO does not prevent future muscle loss or weight gain. Maintenance recommendations should be based on reassessment rather than a fixed schedule.

Treatment Areas

Depending on your goals and suitability, EMSCULPT NEO may be used on:

  • Abdomen

  • Buttocks

  • Flanks

  • Biceps

  • Triceps

  • Inner thighs

  • Outer thighs

  • Front or back of the thighs

  • Calves

Treatment availability and settings vary by body area, skin type, BMI and the specific applicator required.

Treatment FAQ

About EmSculpt NEO.

The muscle contractions are intense but should remain tolerable. You will also feel deep warmth from the RF energy. Intensity can be adjusted throughout the session.

No. It treats selected muscle groups and localized subcutaneous fat. It is not intended to produce significant overall weight loss.

No. It can supplement an active lifestyle but does not replace regular exercise, cardiovascular activity, mobility work or balanced nutrition.

EMSCULPT NEO may strengthen the abdominal muscles, but suspected diastasis recti should be properly assessed. It does not replace physiotherapy or surgical repair when those are medically indicated.

Most clients can resume exercise immediately, provided they feel comfortable. Allow additional recovery if the treated muscles feel fatigued or sore.

Both use electromagnetic energy to stimulate muscle contractions. EMSCULPT NEO adds synchronized radiofrequency to warm the muscle and target subcutaneous fat during the same session.

Yes. A consultation is required to review your goals, treatment area, medical history and any implanted devices.
