Build muscle. Burn fat. Same session.

Most body contouring treatments do one thing. Emsculpt Neo does two. In 30 minutes, the device combines high-intensity electromagnetic energy with radiofrequency to build muscle and reduce fat in the treated area at the same time. It is the only FDA-cleared treatment that addresses both.

  • Builds muscle and burns fat
  • FDA-cleared, non-surgical
  • 30-minute sessions, no downtime

What is Emsculpt Neo and how does it work?

Emsculpt Neo is an FDA-cleared body contouring device from BTL Aesthetics. It is the second-generation evolution of the original Emsculpt, with one critical addition: where the original Emsculpt built muscle alone, Neo builds muscle and reduces fat in the same session.

The treatment works by combining two technologies. High-intensity focused electromagnetic energy (HIFEM) triggers powerful, involuntary muscle contractions in the treated area, far beyond what voluntary exercise can produce. At the same time, radiofrequency heats the fat layer to the point where fat cells are damaged and cleared by the body. The result is stronger, more defined muscle underneath a slimmer layer of fat above. A single 30-minute session delivers the equivalent of approximately 20,000 muscle contractions.

Emsculpt Neo is FDA-cleared for the abdomen, buttocks, arms, calves, and thighs. Most clients see meaningful muscle and fat changes across a course of four sessions, with results that hold long-term when paired with normal physical activity. The treatment is non-invasive, requires no downtime, and clients walk out and continue their day immediately.

The OrangeTwist Difference

Every Emsculpt Neo session at OrangeTwist is performed by a licensed provider trained on the device platform and supervised by our Medical Advisory Board.

Emsculpt Neo is a course, not a single session. We price packages transparently and walk through what is realistic for your goals at your You Review. No overpromising.

Emsculpt Neo combines well with CoolSculpting Elite (build muscle, freeze fat), TwistOff (medical weight loss), and broader body contouring plans. Your provider will design a sequence that suits your goals.

Bright, welcoming, and run by people who genuinely care about your experience. Nothing like a gym, nothing like a clinic.

Your Treatment Timeline

You Review

Your provider will examine the area you want to address, confirm Emsculpt Neo is the right tool for your goals, and walk through the realistic course. Most clients need four sessions to see best results. They will walk through pricing transparently before anything is booked.

Preparation

Very little preparation needed. Eat a small meal beforehand to keep your energy up, since the muscle work is real. Hydrate well. Wear comfortable clothing that allows access to the treatment area. Avoid intense workouts of the same muscle group on the day of your session.

The Treatment

Your provider will position the applicator on the treatment area and ramp up the intensity gradually. You will feel the muscle contractions immediately. The intensity is spicy and unusual at first, but most clients adjust quickly and find the sessions easy to tolerate. The 30 minutes is, honestly, the shortest workout you will ever do for that much muscle.

Aftercare

No downtime. You can return to normal activities immediately, including your usual workouts. Some clients feel mild muscle soreness for a day or two, similar to a workout. Stay hydrated.

Stronger, leaner, and seen in the mirror.

You will feel the muscle engagement immediately and you may notice initial definition within two to four weeks. The full result, including muscle build and fat reduction, typically develops over three months as the body responds and the treated fat clears. Clinical studies show an average 25 percent increase in muscle mass and 30 percent fat reduction in the treated area after a full course.

Results last as long as you maintain the rest of your routine.

The fat reduction is permanent. The muscle build holds best with normal physical activity, with maintenance sessions every six to 12 months for clients who want to keep the result consistent.

Questions and Answers

Good candidates are clients at or near a stable weight who want to build muscle definition and reduce fat in specific treated areas. Emsculpt Neo is not suitable for clients with very high body fat percentages, certain implanted devices, or those looking for significant weight loss alone.

Let your provider know about any implanted electrical devices (pacemakers, defibrillators, IUDs with metal components), metal implants in the treatment area, pregnancy or planned pregnancy, recent weight changes, and any medications.

Pricing depends on the area treated and the package size. Most clients commit to a course of four sessions. Your provider will walk through exact pricing at your You Review. TwistUp members receive exclusive pricing benefits.

Most clients describe it as spicy and unusual but easily tolerated, not painful. The 30 minutes goes faster than expected.

No. You can return to normal activities immediately, including your usual workouts. Some clients feel mild muscle soreness for a day or two, similar to a workout.

Always disclose your full medication and health history at your You Review.

Yes. Emsculpt Neo works on muscle and fat, not skin pigment, and is safe across all skin tones.

All Emsculpt Neo treatments at OrangeTwist are performed by licensed professionals with specific training on the device platform and supervised by our Medical Advisory Board.
