When you have stubborn areas of your body that you just can’t seem to shift with exercise and diet alone, a non-invasive treatment like Emsculpt NEO may be just what you need. Available at most aesthetic centers, the Emsculpt NEO treatment works by delivering specific wavelengths of light through a pad placed on the area of your body where you want the fat to be reduced. These wavelengths then penetrate deep into the subcutaneous fat layers below the surface of the skin, triggering your body’s natural process to break down and eliminate this fat through the natural process of programmed cell death. How long these results last depends on the severity of your condition, your metabolic rate, and the amount of fat in the area where you received the treatment. Some factors that can affect the length of time your results last are discussed further below.
How Emsculpt NEO works
Emsculpt NEO uses non-invasive, non-thermal light that’s found naturally in the environment. It has been proven to reduce fat cells in the area of treatment as well as reduce the amount of fat in other areas of the body. This light is then absorbed by the fat cells in the treated area, prompting a natural process called programmed cell death. This programmed cell death is the body’s natural way of breaking down fat cells that are no longer needed. It’s a process that can be accelerated by increasing the amount of light to the area. This is why Emsculpt NEO is recommended in addition to a healthy lifestyle, rather than as a stand-alone treatment.
How long does Emsculpt NEO last?
This varies based on the severity of your condition, the amount of fat in the area where you received the treatment, and your metabolic rate. Some factors that can affect the length of time your results last include: - The size of your area of treatment. The more fat cells in the area, the longer the effects will last.- The amount of fat in the area where you received the treatment. The thicker the fat layer, the longer the results will last.- How often you use the Emsculpt NEO machine. The more frequently you use it, the more frequently you should be exposing the area to the specific wavelengths of light that trigger programmed cell death.- Your metabolic rate. The faster your metabolism, the faster the fat will be broken down and eliminated from your body.
How to maintain your Emsculpt NEO results
Maintaining your results after an Emsculpt NEO treatment is essential to getting the results you want. You can do this through diet and exercise, or with the help of a doctor, dietitian, or registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN).- Exercise. Losing weight and getting rid of excess fat requires a lot of energy. You can keep your energy up by exercising regularly. Exercising can also help you retain muscle mass as you lose weight, which is great for your body and can help you maintain results.- Eat right. It’s important to eat a balanced diet to support your weight loss and to keep your blood sugar levels stable. This will help you maintain the results of your Emsculpt NEO treatment.- Schedule appointments with your doctor. Your doctor can help you set up a plan to maintain your results, or they can help you identify what adjustments you may need to make to your diet and exercise routine based on your health history and goals.
Bottom line
Emsculpt NEO is a non-invasive treatment that delivers specific wavelengths of light through a pad placed on the area of your body where you want the fat to be reduced. These wavelengths then penetrate deep into the subcutaneous fat layers below the surface of the skin, triggering your body’s natural process of programmed cell death. The length of time these results last depends on several factors, including the size of your area of treatment, the amount of fat in the area where you received the treatment, and your metabolic rate. To maintain your results, it’s important to exercise, eat right, and schedule appointments with your doctor.
