Does Emsculpt Neo really reduce stomach fat? (photo)

Question

Hi, I’m thinking about doing emsculpt neo for my stomach/love handles. I’ve read all I can on emsculpt Neo, have seen before and afters which do look really promising in terms of fat reduction, but then I think, does it really melt fat? do you need more than 4 treatments for it to actually work? I don’t want to spend 4k on this and not notice a difference. I also don’t want to do liposuction or cool sculpting. Im pretty in shape, just have small amount of fat on midsection.

Hello and thank you for your question! Emsculpt NEO could be a great fit for you—especially since you're already in shape and just want to tighten up your midsection. It uses radiofrequency to reduce fat and electromagnetic energy to build muscle. Most people see results after the standard 4 sessions, but some need a couple more for noticeable changes.
You likely won’t see dramatic fat loss (like with lipo), but it can definitely help with sculpting. Since you're not wanting to do surgery or CoolSculpting, this is a great non-invasive option.
If you go for it, we recommend doing 4-6 sessions, then reassess after 6–8 weeks. Take before/after pics to track changes (your provider should do this as well!)
Best of luck, I hope this helps!

Emsculpt Neo is great for reducing stomach fat! It combines radiofrequency and high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy. The RF melts stubborn fat that can be hard to lose with just diet and exercise, while HIFEM builds and strengthens abdominal muscles by inducing thousands of supramaximal contractions. So, it helps you get more definition, tighten the core, and burn fat at the same time!

You can get some visceral fat reduction, but much better muscular toning to help tighten the abdomen. You may notice some decrease in the love handle areas as well.  You might consider the weight loss shots.

Liposuction under local with the micro canulas and bodytite/quantum and morpheus is the only way you are going to get rid of the tummy and love handles.  It will cost roughly $10,000 for quality work and is so worth it.  You could spend $10,000 on many emsculpt treatments and still be disappointed.
