At Lily Med Spa in Dallas, patients often ask if Emsculpt Neo actually delivers the fat loss and muscle definition they’ve heard about.
The interest is growing, but so is the demand for proof. People want to know what really happens during those 30-minute sessions, and whether the results last.
Here’s a complete look at what Emsculpt Neo does, how it works, who it helps, and why it’s been supported by over 40 clinical studies.
How It Works: Fat Reduction and Muscle Building in One Session
Emsculpt Neo uses two technologies at once. One is radiofrequency (RF), which heats fat cells to a point where they begin to break down. The other is high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy, which stimulates thousands of muscle contractions in a short period.
These contractions are much stronger than what the body can perform during regular exercise.
Each session targets both fat and muscle at the same time. The treatment can be applied to several areas of the body including:
- Abdomen
- Buttocks
- Thighs (front, back, inner, and outer)
- Upper arms (biceps and triceps)
- Calves
- Flanks
Clinical Outcomes: What the Data Shows
Peer-reviewed studies using MRI, ultrasound, and tissue analysis methods have measured the results of Emsculpt Neo treatments.
The findings show:
- Up to 30% reduction in fat thickness
- Up to 25% increase in muscle volume
- Improved muscle strength, range of motion, and stability
These numbers are based on structured clinical protocols and objective measurements, not anecdotal feedback alone.

What a Session Feels Like
A single session lasts 30 minutes. Patients report feeling intense muscle contractions in the targeted area, along with a warm sensation as the RF energy heats the fat layer. No anesthesia is used. There are no injections, incisions, or medications involved.
After the session, you can resume work, exercise, or daily activities. Some people feel muscle soreness the next day, much like they would after a hard workout, but this is temporary.
The Tools: Applicators for Every Body Area
Emsculpt Neo offers multiple applicator sizes for different body shapes and goals:
- Large applicator for abdomen, buttocks, and thighs
- Edge applicator for flanks and oblique muscles
- Small applicator for arms and calves
Each is shaped to fit the body part being treated, helping deliver consistent energy and more even results.
Emsculpt Neo and Medical Wellness
Beyond body shaping, Emsculpt Neo is now being used in medical wellness programs to support recovery, improve muscle coordination, and address issues tied to weak core and pelvic floor muscles.
Doctors report improvements in:
- Post-surgical muscle weakness
- Range of motion
- Core function
- Muscle re-education
- Circulation
- Prevention of disuse atrophy
Neurosurgeon Dr. Mohamed Abdulhamid said, “After years of struggling with muscle weakness post-surgery, patients regained strength and mobility that traditional therapy couldn’t provide.”
Orthopedic surgeon Dr. Eugene Lou added, “It helps improve flexibility, range of motion, and stability, making it easier for patients to return to what they love.”

Core-to-Floor Therapy: Total Abdominal and Pelvic Training
Emsculpt Neo can also be paired with Emsella as part of a full-body functional wellness program called Core-to-Floor Therapy. This approach trains the abdominal and pelvic muscles, which helps with core stability, balance, and even urinary control.
According to internal reports, patients who undergo this combination see improvements in:
- Ab separation
- Pelvic floor strength
- Urinary control
- Core strength
Muscle loss begins around age 30, with a decline of 3–5% every decade. For those dealing with weakness or instability, especially after childbirth or surgery,
Core-to-Floor may offer a non-invasive way to rebuild key muscle groups.
Real Patients, Real Changes
Emsculpt Neo has been used by thousands of patients, with photo documentation available from practices across the country.
Some examples include:
These results are often visible within 2 to 4 weeks after the final session and continue to improve over the following months.
Who It’s For
Ideal candidates are within range of their target body weight but want more shape, firmness, and definition. This includes:
- People with isolated fat pockets
- Those who are physically active but can’t get the definition they want
- Individuals recovering from injuries or surgeries
- Women addressing changes after pregnancy
- Older adults rebuilding muscle mass lost over time
Each treatment plan is personalized based on the area being treated, the patient’s goals, and how the body responds.
How to Start
Most patients begin with a consultation to determine which areas to focus on. A typical plan includes four 30-minute sessions, spaced 5 to 10 days apart.
Maintenance sessions are available for those who want to continue improving results or preserve muscle tone long term.
At Lily Med Spa, we provide all available applicators and treatment modes, including Core-to-Floor therapy.
That means we can treat up to 10 different areas:
- Abdomen
- Flanks
- Buttocks

- Biceps
