EmSculpt Neo is the latest FDA-approved noninvasive fat reduction treatment that not only eliminates body fat but builds muscles as well through radiofrequency (RF) and high intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energies. This combination treatment effectively removes about 30% of adipose tissue (body fat) and strengthens and tones muscles at the same time, increasing muscle volume by up to 25%, according to clinical studies.
EmSculpt Neo for first-time patients
If you’re considering this treatment, it’s important to take note of what you should and should not do before and after treatment to achieve the best results. On that note, here are a few do’s and don’ts to consider:
EmSculpt Neo DO’S
- DO make sure you stay well-hydrated during your treatments, so drink plenty of water. This enhances the body’s natural elimination process, which helps you effectively flush out the fats destroyed during treatment. Also, you can add freshly squeezed lemons to the water to increase the alkalinity of the water to lower the pH in the blood. The blood when more alkaline is more efficient in its cellular processes which helps with metabolism and elimination of the fat.
- DO eat a healthy, balanced diet after treatment to help maintain results.
- DO exercise and maintain regular physical activities to likewise help maintain results and prevent new fats from accumulating in the treated areas. It is recommended that you should do regular aerobic activity for at least 30-45 minutes per day, 5-6 times per week at a level of 60% of your maximal heart rate. In addition, you should do resistive training at least 3 times per week with appropriate weights or resistive bands as well. Of course, if there is any medical condition or muscular limitation, you should be first evaluated by a medical doctor or other qualified medical professional before you start these activities.
EmSculpt Neo DON’TS
- DON’T eat a heavy meal at least two hours before your treatment session. You don’t want to feel bloated during treatment particularly if you’re targeting the fats in your abdomen.
- DON’T exercise or do strenuous physical activities in the treated area for at least 48 hours post-treatment to prevent straining the treated muscles.
- DON’T skip sessions or follow-up consultations that your doctor recommended to ensure you achieve optimal results.
Doctors generally recommend 4-10 sessions for your initial treatment, each lasting about 30 minutes per session, and spaced at around five to 10 days apart.
After your session, you may feel a little sore but no more than what you’d feel after a workout. This resolves on its own after a few days, so there’s no need to worry. In fact, if you feel a little tightness and/or soreness on the target areas, it means the contractions from the HIFEM worked.
