What Is Emsculpt NEO?
Non-Surgical Muscle Building & Body Contouring
Emsculpt NEO is a non-surgical body contouring treatment designed to build and strengthen muscle while reducing fat in selected treatment areas. It combines electromagnetic muscle stimulation with radiofrequency heating in one treatment.
Treatment may be considered by adults seeking improved muscle tone, greater definition, stronger targeted muscles, or changes in body composition. Common treatment areas can include the abdomen, buttocks, thighs, arms, and calves, depending on individual goals and suitability.
At Lake Forest Regenesis, Emsculpt NEO is incorporated into a personalized, provider-guided plan based on your health history, activity level, body composition, treatment area, and desired outcomes.
The treatment is non-surgical and requires no incisions or anesthesia. It is designed to complement nutrition, physical activity, strength training, and broader wellness strategies rather than replace them. Individual response and results can vary.
How Emsculpt NEO Works
Two Complementary Technologies in One Treatment
Emsculpt NEO combines high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy and radiofrequency heating through an applicator positioned over the selected treatment area.
Muscle stimulation: Electromagnetic energy produces repeated, intense involuntary muscle contractions in the treated area. This stimulation is designed to condition, build, and strengthen the muscles within the targeted area.
Controlled heating: Radiofrequency energy gradually heats the targeted tissue while treatment is being performed. This controlled heating is designed to support fat reduction within the selected treatment area while the muscles are being stimulated.
The two technologies work together during the same session to support muscle tone, strength, and body contouring. Your provider selects the treatment area and appropriate settings based on your goals, suitability, and treatment plan. Changes develop over time, and individual results vary.
Common Emsculpt NEO Treatment Goals
Personalized Goals for Muscle Tone, Strength & Body Contouring
Muscle Tone & Definition
Improving firmness and visible definition in selected muscles. Your treatment plan focuses on the areas you would like to refine, with realistic expectations for your starting point.
Muscle Strengthening
Building and strengthening treated muscle groups. Emsculpt NEO can complement regular physical activity as part of a personalized approach to muscle conditioning.
Targeted Body Contouring
Addressing localized areas of fat to improve shape where appropriate for the treatment area. Your consultation helps determine which areas and goals are suitable.
Healthy Aging & Muscle Maintenance
Maintaining muscle becomes increasingly important with age. Emsculpt NEO may help tone and strengthen muscles in treated areas as part of a broader wellness strategy.
Fitness Routine Support
Adding targeted muscle stimulation alongside consistent exercise and healthy nutrition. Treatment supports your body contouring goals without replacing the habits that help maintain your progress.
Body Composition Support
Patients may explore Emsculpt NEO to improve the balance between muscle and fat in specific areas as part of a broader body composition and weight-management plan.
A Personalized Approach to Emsculpt NEO
Body Contouring Designed Around Your Goals, Health & Individual Treatment Areas
Emsculpt NEO treatment should reflect your body composition, muscle-conditioning goals, activity level, health history, and the areas you want to address rather than following the same plan for every patient.
At Lake Forest Regenesis, your consultation considers whether your goals are focused on muscle tone, strength, body contour, fat reduction in targeted areas, or broader body composition support.
Emsculpt NEO may also be incorporated alongside medical weight management, hormone optimization, nutrition, strength training, and other strategies when those areas are relevant to your goals.
Your treatment plan is individualized around the areas being treated, desired outcomes, treatment schedule, and broader wellness priorities, with progress reviewed as you move through your treatment series.
What to Expect During Emsculpt NEO Treatment
A Comfortable, Non-Surgical Treatment Designed to Fit Into Your Routine
Emsculpt NEO treatments are performed in the clinic with an applicator positioned over the selected treatment area. During the session, you will feel strong, repeated muscle contractions along with a warming sensation from the radiofrequency energy.
A typical treatment lasts approximately 30 minutes, although treatment time can vary depending on the area and individualized plan. The intensity can be adjusted throughout the session based on your comfort and tolerance.
Emsculpt NEO requires no incisions, injections, or anesthesia, and most patients can return to their usual activities immediately afterward. Temporary muscle soreness or fatigue similar to an intense workout may occur.
Changes in muscle tone, strength, fat reduction, and body contour develop gradually. Your response is reviewed throughout the treatment series, and individual results vary based on the treatment area, starting body composition, lifestyle, and other factors.

Emsculpt NEO Treatment Course & Frequency
A Structured Series of Treatments With Progress Reviewed Over Time
Emsculpt NEO is typically performed as a series of treatment sessions rather than a single visit. The number and timing of sessions are based on the treatment area, your starting point, individual goals, and response to treatment.
Many treatment plans include sessions scheduled over several weeks, allowing the targeted muscles and tissues time to respond between appointments. Your provider will recommend a schedule based on your treatment areas and desired outcomes.
Changes in muscle tone, strength, fat reduction, and body contour may continue developing after the initial treatment series as the body responds over time.
After completing your initial series, your progress can be reviewed to determine whether additional or maintenance treatments may be appropriate based on your goals, lifestyle, and long-term body composition plan.
Clinical Oversight & Safety
Emsculpt NEO is a non-invasive medical device treatment, and appropriate patient selection is an important part of care. Before beginning treatment, your provider reviews your health history, medications, treatment goals, and relevant medical considerations.
Certain implanted electronic or metal devices, pregnancy, and some medical conditions may affect whether Emsculpt NEO is appropriate. Treatment areas are also evaluated to determine whether the technology aligns with your body composition and muscle-conditioning goals.
During treatment, settings can be adjusted based on the area being treated and your comfort. Temporary effects may include muscle soreness, fatigue, warmth, or tenderness similar to what may occur after an intense workout.
At Lake Forest Regenesis, Emsculpt NEO is used with clinical oversight, individualized treatment planning, and realistic expectations about potential outcomes.

Emsculpt NEO & Medical Weight Management
Supporting Muscle and Body Composition During a Broader Weight-Management Plan
Emsculpt NEO may complement a broader medical weight management program for patients who want to address muscle tone, strength, and body composition alongside changes in body weight.
During weight loss, preserving muscle can be an important part of maintaining strength, physical function, and long-term body composition. For patients using GLP-1 therapy, nutrition, adequate protein intake, and resistance exercise remain important components of care.
Emsculpt NEO can provide targeted muscle stimulation in selected areas while also supporting localized fat reduction through radiofrequency heating. It does not replace exercise, nutrition, or medical weight-loss treatment.
At Lake Forest Regenesis, these approaches can be coordinated around your weight-management goals, body composition, activity level, and overall health plan.
Emsculpt NEO & Hormone Optimization
Connecting Muscle, Body Composition & Hormone Health Within a Broader Wellness Plan
Hormonal changes can influence muscle mass, fat distribution, energy, recovery, and overall body composition, particularly during midlife and healthy aging.
For some patients, Emsculpt NEO may complement a broader hormone optimization plan when goals include maintaining muscle, improving strength, or addressing changes in body composition.
Emsculpt NEO provides targeted muscle stimulation and localized body-contouring support, while hormone care addresses a different part of the clinical picture. Neither approach replaces nutrition, physical activity, resistance training, or other foundational health strategies.
At Lake Forest Regenesis, these services can be considered together when appropriate so your plan reflects your symptoms, health history, body composition, activity level, and long-term wellness goals.
Who May Be a Candidate for Emsculpt NEO?
Emsculpt NEO may be appropriate for adults who are generally healthy and interested in improving muscle tone, strength, definition, or body composition in targeted treatment areas.
Good candidates may already follow healthy lifestyle habits but want additional support addressing localized fat, muscle conditioning, or areas that have been difficult to change through exercise alone.
It may also be considered alongside medical weight management or hormone optimization when improving muscle and body composition fits within a broader personalized care plan.
Your provider reviews your health history, treatment area, goals, implanted devices, and other relevant medical considerations before determining whether Emsculpt NEO is appropriate for you.
Who May Not Be a Candidate for Emsculpt NEO?
Emsculpt NEO may not be appropriate for everyone. Treatment is generally avoided during pregnancy and may not be suitable for patients with certain implanted electronic or metal devices in or near the treatment area.
Some medical conditions, recent procedures, active infections, skin concerns, or other factors affecting the proposed treatment area may also require treatment to be postponed or avoided.
Emsculpt NEO is also not intended to replace medical weight loss, nutrition, exercise, or treatment for an underlying health condition when those approaches are more appropriate for a patient’s goals.
Before treatment, your provider reviews your medical history, medications, implanted devices, treatment area, and individual goals to determine whether Emsculpt NEO is an appropriate option.

A Personal Message From Your Provider
Emsculpt NEO Should Support More Than Appearance Alone
“Many patients come to us because they want to feel stronger, more confident, and more comfortable with changes in their body composition.
I see Emsculpt NEO as one tool within a broader wellness plan. It can support muscle conditioning and targeted body contouring, but it works best when considered alongside nutrition, physical activity, weight management, hormone health, and long-term lifestyle goals.
My goal is to understand what you want to improve, determine whether treatment is appropriate, and build a plan around your health history, treatment areas, and individual priorities.
Emsculpt NEO should feel purposeful, personalized, and connected to your overall health—not simply like a stand-alone cosmetic treatment.”
