Should I choose Emsculpt Neo or Coolsculpting? (photos)

Question

Thanks in advance for any responses to this. Trying to decide which procedure will give me the most noticeable results for my money and am having trouble deciding between coolsculpting or the new emsculpt neo machine. I had a baby 4 years ago, and my stomach muscles are not as strong as they used to be, and I have put on some weight due to an injury that has healed.Will emsculpt neo give me the best results or should I just go with coolsculpting?

Thank you for your question and pictures. We have seen great results using a combination of both Coolsculpting and EMSculpt Neo. If your goal is fat reduction along with muscle strengthening and building your abdominal core strength back then EMSculpt NEO would be a better option for you. How many sessions you need would depend on your goals. Make sure you see an experienced physician for a consultation and evaluation to confirm that it is the right procedure for you. Hope this helps!

Based on the experience of hundreds of patients that we have done both CoolSculpting and muscle toning - the vast majority of satisfied patients did the CoolSculpting first as it will permanently reduce the number of fat cells in the treated area. We have performed muscle toning first in patients and they were unable to see toned muscles due to the overlying fat that was covering it. So in our practice - we recommend reducing the overlying fat first, then when satisfied - doing EmSculpt afterwards.

you can do trusculpt ID and flex for improvement, or get tummy tuck/lipo.

the smaller you are before liposuction the more contouring you can get from the procedure. most of my liposuction patients get pre and post surgical optimization with hormonal therapy (see link to help boost their weight loss before surgery and help them heal after).

You need a formal evaluation by an expert in body shaping and contouring to determine what is best.  Traditional liposuction awake and smart liposuction are old methods and do very poorly for tightening skin or significant skin tightening or contouring.  Small problem areas can be improved slightly by these methods.  The best in body contouring not only removes fat with energy devices like VASER ultrasound but also internally heat the skin with radio-frequency devices such as J PLASMA/RENUVION, InMode BodyTite, ThermiRF to heat the under surface of the skin and tighten it at the same time as fat removal. These combinations are called 4D HIDEF VASER contouring and can only be done by a well . trained body contouring specialist. At the same time fat should be harvested, PRP and stem cells added and injected into muscles or indentations/cellulite to get body shaping and contouring.  This is known as a Brazilian butt lift when you inject the fat to the buttock for contouring and lifting, but fat can also be used in areas such as the chest/breast, arms/shoulders, calves and face.  Cellulite should also be treated with cellfina, sculptra, subcision and/or fillers such as bellafill, renuva synthetic fat, or sculptra.  If skin is very loose before surgery then it will need to be removed such as lower abdominal skin (tummy tuck/abdominoplasty), breast skin (breast lift), arm skin (brachioplasty).  Overall you need a full assessment, but simple liposuction alone will not tighten skin and needs a combination of various methods -- fat removal, skin tightening, defining, fat grafting, skin removal -- to get the best in body contouring and body sculpting.  Dr. Emer.

You are a great candidate for both procedures and they are complementary to each other. CoolSculpting will really help you with excess subcutaneous fat and EmSculpt will help with muscle strengthening & definition.
