What You Need to Know Before Getting Emsculpt NEO in Benton County
Are you looking at getting Emsculpt NEO in Benton County? Our team at The Edge not only gives treatment, we also share the ins and outs of the process so you know exactly what to expect from your care. This way, we can deliver well-rounded care to all our patients and help them achieve their aesthetic and health goals.
We have created the ultimate guide to Emsculpt NEO, so you know exactly what you can expect before you schedule your appointment. Here, you’ll be able to learn all the details of the treatment, including what the process will look like, how it works, and when to expect results.
What is Emsculpt NEO?
Emsculpt NEO combines the unique technology of radiofrequency and HIFEM (high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy) to simultaneously reduce stubborn fat and increase strength.
The radiofrequency produces a gentle heat that penetrates into the subcutaneous layer of your skin, where stubborn fat lives. This causes damage to the unwanted fat cells, stimulating your body’s natural response to remove those damaged cells through your lymphatic system. As this occurs, you will see pockets of stubborn fat slowly shrink until you have a smoother, sculpted look.
At the same time, the Emsculpt NEO device also emits electromagnetic pulses into the muscles of the targeted area, creating roughly 20,000 contractions within those muscles. This not only helps improve the fat burn but also builds muscle mass for a stronger, more sculpted physique.
What is body contouring?
We understand “body contouring” is not a very common term, but it refers to treatments that help tighten skin, tone muscle, and melt stubborn fat.
While body contouring treatments can help improve weight loss results, they do not act on their own as weight loss treatments. Instead, we prefer to offer them after a patient has achieved their weight loss goals independently, so the Emsculpt NEO in Benton County can improve specific aesthetic concerns. Some patients also choose to use Emsculpt NEO to maintain muscle mass during their weight loss treatments, as medical weight loss can decrease in muscle mass, and possibly cause muscle wasting.
Emsculpt vs. Emsculpt NEO
If you look for other body contouring treatments, you may notice both “Emsculpt” and “Emsculpt NEO” as options. While they are similar devices, they do have some differences too.
Emsculpt was the first version of Emsculpt NEO. It only uses the HIFEM energy to stimulate muscle contractions, and they are not as intense or effective as the contractions you experience with Emsculpt NEO. As the latest version, Emsculpt NEO combines muscle building with fat loss, and improves the intensity for more effective and lasting results. Because of this, Emsculpt NEO is the most popular out of the two devices, and there are less and less providers who are offering Emsculpt at all.
Emsculpt NEO for Functional Wellness
Patients also enjoy Emsculpt NEO in Benton County because of the functional wellness benefits it can provide. As of October 2024, Emsculpt NEO was approved by the FDA to help with neuromuscular concerns. It can help with:
- Preventing disuse muscle atrophy
- Preventing blood clots (venous thrombosis)
- Muscle re-education
- Reducing muscle spasms
- Increasing range of motion
- Improving blood circulation
With this FDA-approval, we can help a larger group of patients not only look their best but also feel their best.
The Emsculpt NEO Process
Since Emsculpt NEO has a fairly simple process, you can expect these steps when you visit our team for treatment.
Consultation
Your first appointment is a one-on-one consultation with one of our providers. They meet with you and listen while you describe your concerns and any goals you would like to achieve with treatment. Then, your provider learns more about your medical history, asking you questions about any medical conditions, medications, past treatments, and more.
This all helps them gain a better understanding of your needs and how we can best meet them. Then, your provider talks with you about your treatment options, including Emsculpt NEO in Benton County, describing each one in detail. Together, you will create a care plan that helps you accomplish your goals.
Treatment
Once you and your provider feel confident in your care plan, they help you schedule the necessary appointments. You should wear clothes that allow easy access to the treatment area for your appointment. Once you check in, your provider places the Emsculpt NEO paddles on the treatment area and begins administering the radiofrequency and the HIFEM energy.
While the HIFEM energy might feel odd, since your muscles are involuntarily contracting, you should not experience any pain or discomfort. After 30 minutes, your provider turns off the machine and removes the paddles.
Results
Most patients achieve their ideal results after about 4 to 6 sessions of Emsculpt NEO in Benton County, but you and your provider will determine how many sessions are right for your individual needs. You can receive Emsculpt NEO about twice a week, leaving at least 2 to 3 days between sessions to allow your body to rest and recuperate. You can expect to see your full results about 3 months after you complete the treatment series. Typically, results last about 6 to 12 months, and you can schedule maintenance sessions to continue enjoying your results once they start fading.
The Benefit of Emsculpt NEO
Patients enjoy receiving Emsculpt NEO for many reasons, but here are our favorite aspects about the device that causes our team to enjoy offering treatment to patients.
It’s versatile.
We can use Emsculpt NEO to treat many areas of the body, including popular areas like the thighs, calves, arms, abdomen, flanks (love handles), and buttocks.
It’s comfortable.
Because Emsculpt NEO does not require scalpels, needles, or laser light, it is considered a painless and comfortable treatment.
It’s long-lasting.
While results typically last about 6 to 12 months, you can extend them even longer if you maintain healthy habits, like eating a balanced diet and exercising regularly.
It’s quick.
One Emsculpt NEO session only takes about 30 minutes. This means you can come in, receive treatment, and get back to the rest of your day without much interruption.
Frequently Asked Questions
Since it’s one of the latest body contouring treatments, our team hears a lot of questions regarding Emsculpt NEO. So here, we’ll answer the most common questions we hear in our men’s clinic. If you have a question that you don’t see answered here, then we encourage you to reach out to our team with your concerns. The right team member will get back to you with the answers you need to make the right decisions for your aesthetic and wellness plan.
Can Emsculpt NEO help me lose weight?
While you might lose a couple of pounds with Emsculpt NEO, you should not use it as a weight loss treatment. If you try to lose weight by just using Emsculpt NEO, you will not see effective or lasting results. Instead, we recommend following a proper weight loss treatment or regimen, then contouring places of stubborn fat or untoned muscle using Emsculpt NEO in Benton County.
Can I pair Emsculpt NEO with other treatments?
Yes! You can easily pair Emsculpt NEO with other body contouring or aesthetic treatments. However, we recommend consulting with one of our providers to determine which treatment pairing would work best for your individual needs.
Can my fat return after getting Emsculpt NEO?
Yes, if you do not maintain healthy habits after getting Emsculpt NEO in Benton County, you may see the stubborn fat return. Your provider will include healthy lifestyle choices as part of your post-care instructions. By maintaining a healthy diet, exercising regularly, drinking water, and avoiding smoking and drinking alcohol, you can minimize the chances of fat returning.
Is there any downtime after the procedure?
No, you will not need to take any downtime or recovery time after receiving Emsculpt NEO. You can easily return to your normal daily activities without interruption.
Will my Emsculpt NEO results look similar to liposuction?
No. Invasive surgeries like liposuction deliver dramatic results because they address severe concerns, and they require far more recovery time because of that invasive and painful nature.
Emsculpt NEO does not treat severe concerns like that, but it can help prevent patients from getting to the point of needing surgery by addressing stubborn fat when it is more moderate or mild.
Will Emsculpt NEO help tighten loose skin?
No, while Emsculpt NEO helps reduce fat and improve muscle tone, it does not help tighten the loose skin remaining after the fat is reduced. However, we do offer other skin tightening treatments we can pair with Emsculpt NEO for a well-rounded care plan.

We make scheduling your appointment easy. You can schedule an in-person consultation with one of our expert providers at The Edge to get more details and start your Emsculpt NEO treatment.
