Technology
Emsculpt NEO
Emsculpt NEO combines focused electromagnetic energy with radiofrequency heating to stimulate muscle contractions and reduce fat in the treated area.
Emsculpt NEO muscle toning and fat reduction
Understanding Emsculpt NEO.
Emsculpt NEO is a non-invasive body-contouring platform that delivers two forms of energy at once: high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy, which prompts intense muscle contractions, and radiofrequency, which heats the tissue to help reduce fat. It's used on defined muscle groups such as the abdomen and buttocks, and it's designed for people who exercise and want to build on their results. Treatments are performed by our senior laser technicians, under the medical direction of Dr. Gidon Frame.
How does Emsculpt NEO work?
The focused electromagnetic field induces rapid, involuntary muscle contractions that are stronger and more numerous than you can achieve voluntarily. These repeated contractions challenge the muscle so it adapts and strengthens over a series of sessions, much as intensive exercise does. At the same time, radiofrequency energy warms the tissue enough to injure fat cells, which your body then gradually clears. Changes in muscle tone and fat build over the weeks following a course of treatment.
What Emsculpt NEO improves
- Abdominal fat and core muscle tone
- Buttock shape and muscle tone
- Upper-arm and thigh contour, and the calves
- Reduced muscle tone and body contour changes
Emsculpt NEO is best suited to people who are already reasonably fit and near their goal weight and want to build on their efforts. It works hand in hand with strength training and cardio, and it's part of our muscle toning and body contouring treatment.

Benefits of Emsculpt NEO
Emsculpt NEO is non-invasive, with no incisions or anesthetic, and most people go back to normal activities the same day. Because it combines muscle stimulation with tissue heating, one treatment works on both muscle tone and fat in the treated area. Results build gradually and depend on your baseline fitness, body composition and how consistent you are with nutrition and exercise. Individual results vary.
Safety, side effects and considerations
Emsculpt NEO is performed by our senior laser technicians, under the medical direction of Dr. Gidon Frame. The intensity is adjusted to your comfort throughout the session, and your health history and any implants are reviewed before your first treatment.
Common and temporary
- Muscle soreness similar to that after an intense workout, which usually settles within a day or two
- Redness or warmth in the treated area
- Mild tenderness or tingling where the applicator sat
Less common risks
- A burn or blister from the radiofrequency heating. Tell your technician straight away if any spot feels too hot during treatment.
- Aggravation of an existing hernia in the treated area
- Lower-back strain or discomfort, particularly after abdominal treatment
- Dark urine. Very rarely, intense muscle work can cause muscle breakdown (rhabdomyolysis). If you notice dark, tea- or cola-coloured urine, or severe muscle pain and weakness after a session, seek medical attention promptly and let the clinic know on 604-261-9121.
When treatment may need to wait
- Pregnancy, or trying to become pregnant
- An electronic implant such as a pacemaker, defibrillator, neurostimulator or drug pump
- Metal implants in or near the treatment area
- An intrauterine device (IUD), when the abdomen is to be treated, in line with manufacturer guidance
- Epilepsy or a seizure disorder
- Cancer, current or under treatment
- Reduced or impaired sensation in the treatment area
- A hernia, recent surgery, or a heart, bleeding or neurological condition
Aftercare
Most people go back to their usual activities the same day. Stay well hydrated around your sessions, and keep up gentle movement and your regular training. If soreness lasts longer than expected, or something doesn't feel right, contact the clinic.
