Can a thin person undergo Emsculpt Neo? Is there a minimum BMI?

Question

I have a BMI just under 20. I read that Emsculpt Neo also offers increased muscular growth compared to traditional Emsculpt. Is it possible to undergo Neo or is there a minimum BMI?

Anyone can do EMsculpt. All it will do is contract your muscles for you so you will be getting the results of a workout, minus the workout. Consult with your doctor to see which option is better for you!

Thank you for your question. As a thin person with a normal BMI like you would be an ideal candidate for the Emsculpt Neo and really be able to experience a visible increase in muscle definition and volume. The heat generated by radiofrequency helps to warm up muscles and allow the HIFEM (high-intensity focused electromagnetic) pulses to stimulate muscle contractions more effectively, leading to an average increase of 25% in muscle volume in areas treated with both RF and HIFEM. This is not to say that individuals with a higher BMI would not benefit from this treatment, as the muscle strengthening effects can be felt by all persons treated with this modality, however, the visible results may not be as dramatic as those seen in individuals with a BMI of 35 or lower.

Companies the dominate the market place are in a unique position.

When other companies develop products that are similar the dominating company often add updates similar to versions of software. This is also true in the pharmacy industry when drugs patents expire.

A new version of a similar technology is often just re-branding.

This procedure strengthens muscles and is in that way ideal for low bmi patients.

Those with a higher BMI can’t see muscle definition whether toned or flabby because of the fat covering the muscle layer.

I suggest going in for a few consultations.

Keep in mind this is a temporary treatment.

Best,
