How Emsculpt NEO works
- Emsculpt NEO works by utilizing HIFEM (high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy) to stress your muscles and build your body to an extent not attainable through regular exercise. When using heat, the muscle temperature quickly rises by several degrees. This heat helps to kill the fat in certain, localized areas of your body.
- This produces an outcome similar to warming up before a workout, as your muscles naturally prepare for stress. Within 4 minutes, the fat cells reach permanent damage, resulting in your body slowly removing the dead cells from the body.
- The HIFEM component forces your muscles into up to 20,000 supramaximal contractions per session, while the radiofrequency (RF) energy heats fat cells to a temperature that causes permanent cellular breakdown. Your body then clears those damaged cells naturally through the lymphatic system over the following weeks and months. The two technologies work in harmony, giving you muscle-building and fat-reduction results at the same time.
- During an Emsculpt NEO session, you’ll lie comfortably while the applicators are secured to the treatment area. Most patients describe the sensation as an intense but manageable muscle contraction, similar to a deep workout. Sessions last around 30 minutes, there’s no anesthesia required, and you can return to your normal routine immediately after.
How Is Emsculpt NEO® Different From Other Contouring Treatments?
Emsculpt NEO stands apart from other body contouring options because it’s one of the few treatments that builds muscle rather than simply removing fat. Most alternatives target fat exclusively, leaving the underlying muscle untouched. Emsculpt NEO addresses both at once, which is why it consistently delivers more comprehensive body sculpting results.
If your goal is to build muscle, reduce fat and see a firmer, more sculpted silhouette, Emsculpt NEO is your foundation. If you want to layer in skin tightening or cellulite reduction, Emsculpt NEO can be paired with complementary options for more comprehensive results. Our team will help you determine the right approach during your free consultation.
How Is Emsculpt NEO® Paired With Other Treatments at Marcos Medical?
For many patients, combining treatments delivers the best overall outcome. Emsculpt NEO addresses fat and muscle, but it doesn’t target skin texture or cellulite. Pairing it with complementary treatments available at Marcos Medical Aesthetics & Wellness allows you to address multiple concerns in a single, cohesive plan.
Here are the most effective combinations:
Emsculpt NEO + EMTONE This is one of the most popular pairings. Emsculpt NEO firms and sculpts from within by building muscle and eliminating fat cells, while EMTONE smooths the surface by targeting cellulite and improving skin tone. Patients treating the thighs, buttocks or abdomen often see more satisfying results by addressing both layers at once.
Emsculpt NEO + Exion Body For patients focused on skin laxity as well as body contouring, adding Exion Body to an Emsculpt NEO treatment plan provides additional deep-tissue RF and ultrasound benefits. Exion Body boosts collagen and elastin production while also reducing fatty deposits, which makes it a natural complement to Emsculpt NEO for patients who want tighter, more refined skin as well.
Emsculpt NEO + GLP-1 Weight Loss Injections Patients who are actively working toward weight loss with GLP-1 medications often use Emsculpt NEO to preserve and build lean muscle mass during the process. Rapid weight loss can sometimes reduce muscle along with fat, and Emsculpt NEO helps counteract that by actively stimulating muscle growth in targeted areas. Read more about how these two treatments can work together in our blog post, Emsculpt in San Antonio.
During your consultation, our team will assess your goals and design a treatment plan that makes sense for your body, whether that means Emsculpt NEO alone or in combination with other services.

Who Makes a Good Candidate for Emsculpt NEO?
In San Antonio, good candidates for Emsculpt NEO look to nonsurgically refine their shape, tone and strengthen specific muscles, and reduce fatty deposits.
Best candidates include:
- Patients Seeking Targeted Toning and Sculpting. Many patients come in already relatively fit. However, they have trouble areas where muscles are struggling to achieve the desired contours, or fatty deposits refuse to lessen no matter how much exercise or dieting they do. Emsculpt NEO works excellently, helping them achieve a more sculpted appearance in their abdomen, buttocks, thighs and/or arms.
- Patients Near Their Ideal Weight. Patients at or near their target weight achieve the most visible results from Emsculpt NEO. It addresses smaller amounts of stubborn fat quite effectively and safely.
- Postpartum Women. Women who have given birth can strengthen their abdominal muscles and reduce post-pregnancy fat with Emsculpt NEO. It’s particularly helpful for addressing diastasis recti, which is a separation of the abdominal muscles often associated with pregnancy and childbirth.
- Patients Seeking Enhanced Muscle Strength. Emsculpt NEO helps build muscle strength and improve overall physical performance for patients who have suffered muscle/strength loss due to medication, injury, lifestyle choices and/or other factors.
- Patients Who Don’t Like Surgery. Because Emsculpt NEO is noninvasive, it delivers results without the risks, recovery time, pain or scarring associated with surgical procedures like liposuction.
This being said, there may be some patients who aren’t good candidates for Emsculpt NEO. The reasons can include:
- A BMI Over 35. If a Marcos Medical patient has a higher BMI, we may recommend our medical weight loss injections first to help them lose the extra weight before engaging in Emsculpt NEO’s body sculpting treatment.
- Certain Medical Conditions. Patients should avoid Emsculpt NEO in San Antonio if they have any of the following implanted:
- Pacemakers
- Defibrillator
- Metal implants
- Pregnancy or Nursing. We don’t recommend Emsculpt NEO for patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
We may also recommend a different treatment if you have a history of seizures, epilepsy, cancer, or have had hernias or injuries in your treatment area.
Not sure whether you’re a candidate? That’s exactly what a free consultation is for. Our providers take a thorough history and discuss your goals before making any recommendations. If Emsculpt NEO isn’t the right fit, we’ll tell you and point you toward something that is.
Frequently Asked Questions about Emsculpt NEO
Emsculpt NEO is FDA-cleared to break down fat and help strengthen, tone and firm the abdomen, arms, buttocks, thighs and calves. This means there is a robust body of clinical data supporting the effectiveness as well as the favorable safety profile of this advanced body contouring treatment.
Emsculpt NEO requires no recovery time! You can resume normal activities immediately after the treatment. After the procedure, some patients notice slight tingling in the treated areas for up to a few hours and/or slight muscle tenderness for 24 to 72 hours. The “recovery” is similar to the feeling of a good workout.
When Emsculpt NEO’s advanced high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology delivers electromagnetic energy into the treatment area, it induces an electric current in the target muscles.
This electric current triggers powerful muscle contractions. These contractions are far more intense than those achieved through voluntary exercise, because HIFEM technology induces contractions that exceed the body’s natural limits.
The intensity can be changed via Emsculpt NEO’s customizable settings, allowing for a level of muscle stimulation that can be both supramaximal and completely safe for the patient.
The answer is both yes or no—depending on how you change your lifestyle after your treatments have been done.
The radiofrequency (RF) energy delivered by Emsculpt NEO reaches down to the target fatty deposits and heats them. This heat damages the fat cells, causing them to die (apoptosis). The surrounding muscle cells aren’t affected by this level of heat, except to help them “warm up” like you would do before a workout.
Your body’s natural systems eliminate those dead fat cells for permanent fat reduction.
However, the surviving fat cells can continue to grow in size if your diet and exercise don’t support healthy weight management. Emsculpt NEO in San Antonio can reduce the number of fat cells in the treatment area, but the remaining ones can continue to grow, causing further weight gain and counteracting the effects of your body sculpting treatment. To maintain your achieved goals, you’ll need to adopt a lifestyle that helps you keep a stable weight going forward.

Most patients complete a series of 4 to 6 sessions to achieve their best results. Treatments are typically spaced 5 to 10 days apart, which allows your body time to metabolize the damaged fat cells and recover between sessions. After the initial series, some patients choose periodic maintenance treatments to sustain their results over time. Your provider will recommend the right cadence based on the areas being treated and the level of improvement you’re looking for.
Yes. Diastasis recti, the separation of the abdominal muscles that often occurs during pregnancy, is one of the conditions Emsculpt NEO is well-suited to address. By causing powerful muscle contractions in the core, Emsculpt NEO can help re-engage and strengthen those separated muscles in a way that traditional exercise often cannot. Many postpartum patients use Emsculpt NEO as part of their recovery from diastasis recti, especially when combined with guidance from their healthcare provider. If this is a concern for you, our team can discuss whether you’re a good candidate during your free consultation.
Absolutely. Emsculpt NEO is as effective for men as it is for women, and the goals are often similar: more defined abs, stronger arms, a firmer physique. Men who have hit a plateau in their training or who want to accelerate results in a specific area, particularly the abdomen and biceps, are excellent candidates. The treatment is fully customizable by area and intensity, so it translates well across different body types and fitness levels.
