Emsculpt Neo, dubbed the “miracle medicine” of the non-invasive cosmetic industry for its unparalleled contouring technology, has been making serious waves in South Florida. And in a region where body sculpting and plastic surgery are as common as sunshine, pricing competition is fierce, and maximum results are expected, that’s a lofty goal for Emsculpt Neo to live up to.

Yet, it has managed to do just that. The key to Emsculpt Neo’s success has been the addition of radio frequency (RF) to it’s already highly effective High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM), as well as it’s ability to dramatically reshape without a single trace of evidence that the patient has had any cosmetic procedure performed. Other than, you know, their newly toned body.

What does that mean for us? No longer do we need to slave at the gym to get rid of stubborn pockets of fat that will never go away, no matter how many squats or crunches we do. Now, we can literally burn away the fat while we tone up and best yet – no exercise clothes are required.

For patients who prefer the non-invasive convenience and comfort of procedures like CoolSculpting and Emsculpt Neo, the difference is clear. Emsculpt Neo comes with the advantage of building muscle and while it’s true that Neo’s fat-burning capabilities exceed CoolSculpting, CoolSculpting has very important advantages over Emsculpt Neo. With multiple handpieces available in an array of different sizes, CoolSculpting can target fat on parts the body that Neo can’t reach. And due to the electromagnetic pulses that stimulate muscle growth with Emsculpt Neo, the applicators can’t be placed on certain parts of the body. So a combined approach of both modalities is typically the best way to go if you’re trying to get the best results without surgery.

So how do Emsculpt Neo and CoolSculpting compare to more invasive fat reduction procedures? Sometimes it can be hard to decide which procedure is best for you, and weighing the pros and cons of each can be a tough task. Below, we compare the important facts and expectations for the most popular body contouring options on the market for you so you can make the decision that’s best for your goals, health, and body.
