EMSculpt produces an average 19% reduction in fat stores after 2 to 4 weeks after treatment, that is, slightly less than CoolSculpting. But it excels when it comes to building muscle. Patients achieve an average 16% increase in muscle mass in their target treatment zones.Emsculpt Neo works quite differently, not only reducing fat, but also increasing muscle mass at the same time. To reduce fat, Emsculpt Neo uses warm radiofrequency energy to cause fat cell apoptosis (cell death). So instead of freezing fat, Emsculpt NEO heats fat cells to 42 degrees Celsius, causing fat cells to die. As with Coolsculpting, dead fat cells are removed from the body through the lymphatic system.
