What is EMsculpt NEO?
EMsculpt NEO is a non-invasive body contouring treatment that builds muscle and reduces fat in the same session. It pairs radiofrequency heat, which targets fat cells, with high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy (HIFEM+), which drives muscle contractions far stronger than a workout. It suits men and women at or near their goal weight, with a BMI up to 35, who want more definition on the abdomen, buttocks, arms or calves. It is not a weight-loss treatment, and it is not for anyone pregnant or with metal implants or a pacemaker in the treatment area.
You lie back while an applicator is strapped over the area. Each area takes about 30 minutes. Most plans are four sessions, one to two weeks apart, with no downtime beyond a day or two of muscle soreness. Changes show 2 to 4 weeks after your last session and keep improving for up to three months. At Dr Refresh in West Hollywood, EMsculpt NEO is $850 per session, with your full plan confirmed at a free consultation.

How EMsculpt NEO works.
NEO combines two energies in one applicator. First, radiofrequency warms the fat layer. After a few minutes of warming, HIFEM+ energy switches on and triggers supramaximal muscle contractions, far more intense than anything you can do voluntarily. The heat damages fat cells, which the body then clears over the following weeks, while the contractions push the muscle to grow stronger and more defined. Settings ramp up gradually, so your provider can keep it intense but tolerable.
- Radiofrequency for fat
- HIFEM+ contractions for muscle
- 30 minutes per area
The manufacturer's clinical studies report averages of about 30% less fat and 25% more muscle in the treated area. Individual results vary.

EMsculpt NEO questions, answered.
What is EMsculpt NEO and how does it work?
It is a non-invasive body contouring treatment that reduces fat and builds muscle in a single session. Radiofrequency heat targets fat cells, while high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy (HIFEM+) triggers muscle contractions far more intense than voluntary exercise.
What areas can it treat?
At Dr Refresh in West Hollywood, the treatment treats the abdomen, buttocks, arms (biceps and triceps) and calves, and can also be used on the thighs. Each applicator targets a specific muscle group.
Who is a good candidate?
Men and women at or near their goal weight who want less stubborn fat and more muscle definition. It works for a BMI up to 35. You should be in good health, not pregnant, and free of metal implants or a pacemaker in the treatment area.
How many EMsculpt NEO sessions will I need?
Most patients get their best result with four sessions, scheduled one to two weeks apart. Each session takes about 30 minutes per area. To hold results, Dr Refresh recommends one upkeep session a month.
What does a session feel like?
Intense warmth from the radiofrequency, combined with strong muscle contractions that feel like an extreme workout. The device ramps up gradually, and most people find it unusual but tolerable. No anesthesia is needed.
Is there any downtime?
No. You can go back to all your activities right away. Some people have mild muscle soreness for one to two days, like after a workout.
EMsculpt NEO before and after: when will I see results?
Many patients notice a change two to four weeks after their last session, and results keep improving for up to three months. The manufacturer's clinical studies report an average of about 30% fat reduction and 25% more muscle in the treated area. Individual results vary.
How much does EMsculpt NEO cost in West Hollywood?
It is $850 per session at Dr Refresh. Most plans are four sessions, and your provider confirms the number of sessions and areas at your free consultation. You can also pay over time with Cherry, subject to approval.
How does it compare to CoolSculpting or liposuction?
CoolSculpting treats fat only; the treatment reduces fat and builds muscle at the same time. Unlike liposuction, the treatment is fully non-invasive, with no incisions, anesthesia or recovery time. Liposuction can remove larger amounts of fat, so your provider will tell you honestly which fits your goal.
Can EMsculpt NEO help with diastasis recti?
It has shown promise for improving diastasis recti by strengthening and thickening the abdominal wall, and many postpartum patients see real improvement. It is not a replacement for surgical repair in severe cases.
How do I prepare for a session?
Wear comfortable clothing, stay hydrated and avoid a large meal right before your session. Remove any metal jewelry from the treatment area.
Can I combine it with other treatments?
Yes. It pairs well with skin tightening like Morpheus8 Body for a more complete body contouring plan.
