How do I really know if my provider is using Emsculpt's RF or not?

Question

I am hoping to do Emsculpt for Muscle Only (no fat reduction with RF), but the local clinic only has an Emsculpt NEO. How do I know if my Emsculpt provider is really just doing Muscle Only/HIFEM? Does it feel warm just like the RF might? The provider keeps insisting I do RF "to see more difference" and I am worried she will use Fat Loss even when I request not to. The provider said there was no Protocol 1 or 2, just Emsculpt and Emsculpt Neo.

Both treatments have individual controls for EmSculpt and the RF. EmSculpt alone will not cause heat, only the RF.

When the paddles are applied to the area of treatment, you will feel a warm sensation that heats up the area. That is the RF ( radio frequency ) being introduced to the skin.

Hello, thank you for your question. Your provider can shut off the RF on the Emsculpt NEO. If the RF is off the treatment will not get warm.

Reza Nassab, FRCS (Plast) · Answer

The Emsculpt Neo was the new device which combines the HIFEM and RF. If the provider has Emsculpt but not Emsculpt Neo then this will not have RF. The Emsculpt Neo does allow you have differing levels of RF energy so this can reduce the amount of RF.

Connie Hiers, MD, FACS · Answer

The RF can be not turned on when the EMSCulpt is in use, and this is part of the protocol for treating an area like the buttock where we do not want any fat loss.
