What Is Emsculpt? How It Builds Muscle and Burns Fat at the Same Time

For busy professionals, new mothers, and fitness enthusiasts, finding time to achieve both muscle tone and fat reduction can feel overwhelming. This is where Emsculpt and its advanced version EmsculptNEO come in. These treatments are non-invasive options that combine muscle building with fat reduction in a way that no workout or diet can achieve alone. At the Artis Institute for Plastic Surgery in Aventura, we are proud to offer these innovative technologies as part of their commitment to helping patients achieve natural looking results and improved confidence.

How Emsculpt Works

Emsculpt uses high intensity focused electromagnetic energy to stimulate muscle contractions deep within the treatment area. These contractions are far more powerful and frequent than anything a person could achieve during regular exercise. Just one session can feel like completing thousands (20,000 !!!!) of crunches or squats in under 30 minutes. The body responds by strengthening muscle fibers, enhancing tone, and building definition.

Why EmsculptNEO Takes It Further

EmsculptNEO builds on the original technology by adding radiofrequency energy. The heat gently warms the tissue and helps reduce fat cells while the electromagnetic energy continues to build muscle. This combination allows patients to notice improvements in both muscle tone and fat reduction after a series of treatments.

This is especially effective for individuals who are close to their ideal weight but struggle with stubborn problem areas. Unlike other body contouring options that focus only on fat loss, EmsculptNEO offers muscle strengthening as well, giving a more sculpted result.

In addition it can help reduce visceral fat up to 17% and help tighten the separation between the abdominal muscles/

This therapy is especially effective on post partum women to help them strengthen their core faster and help them get back their prebaby body back.

We also believe at the ARTIS Institute that this therapy is essential for patients who are using GLP-1 medications (Ozempic / Monjouaro) as it helps them with the muscle loss associated with these medications.

Who Can Benefit from Emsculpt Treatments

Because Emsculpt and EmsculptNEO are non-surgical with no required downtime, they are excellent options for many different patients at the Artis Institute for Plastic Surgery. People who often see the best results include:

• Busy professionals with little time for long gym routines
• Postpartum women seeking to restore core strength and repair concerns such as diastasis recti
• Patients who are on GLP-1 medications
• Athletes and fitness enthusiasts who want to enhance definition and performance
• Men and women close to their target weight but frustrated by stubborn fat deposits
• Patients interested in body sculpting treatments who also want improvements in muscle tone

What to Expect During and After Treatment

Each treatment session typically lasts around 30 minutes. Most patients feel a pulsing contraction sensation that is comfortable and tolerable. Because the procedure is non-invasive, there is no downtime. Patients can return to their daily activities immediately after treatment which makes it easy to fit into a busy lifestyle. Many notice improvement within a few weeks while the most dramatic changes usually develop after the full series of treatments is completed.

Is Emsculpt Right for You

These treatments are not substitutes for weight loss programs but they can be powerful tools to refine and sculpt the body when diet and exercise alone are not enough.
