You’ve invested in Emsculpt Neo — now, how do you get the most out of your treatment? Whether you’re targeting your stomach, arms, thighs or buttocks, there are a few things you can do to enhance your results and support longer-lasting body contouring benefits. In this blog, we’ll share practical tips on how to prepare for your Emsculpt Neo sessions, what to do afterwards, and how to maintain your results over time.
What Is Emsculpt Neo and How Does It Work?
Emsculpt Neo is a non-invasive treatment that uses a combination of radiofrequency (RF) and high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy (HIFEM+) to reduce fat and build muscle in one go.
The RF energy heats fat cells, damaging them so the body can naturally eliminate them over time.
The HIFEM+ energy stimulates supramaximal muscle contractions (around 20,000 per session), helping to tone and strengthen the targeted muscles.
Most people notice visible improvements after a course of four treatments, but the way you care for your body during and after this period can make a real difference.
Tips to Maximise Emsculpt Neo Results
1. Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water before and after each session. Hydration supports your body’s lymphatic system, which is responsible for clearing out the destroyed fat cells. Aim for at least 2 litres of water a day for best results.
2. Keep Active Between Sessions
Emsculpt Neo strengthens muscle, but complementing it with regular physical activity will help preserve and enhance those gains. A mix of cardio and strength training can support your metabolism and improve muscle tone even further.
3. Maintain a Balanced Diet
You don’t need to overhaul your diet, but eating well supports fat metabolism and muscle recovery. Focus on:
- Lean protein to support muscle repair
- Fibre-rich vegetables for digestion and satiety
- Healthy fats to balance hormones
- Reducing sugar and processed foods, which can promote fat retention
4. Avoid Alcohol Around Treatment Days
Alcohol can dehydrate you and place extra strain on the liver, which is involved in processing the fat eliminated after Emsculpt. Try to reduce or avoid alcohol the day before and after your session to optimise detoxification.
5. Stick to the Treatment Schedule
Consistency is key. The standard Emsculpt Neo protocol involves 4 sessions over 2–4 weeks, depending on your treatment area. Skipping or delaying sessions can reduce cumulative results. Book your full course in advance to stay on track.
6. Consider Maintenance Sessions
Fat cells destroyed by Emsculpt Neo don’t return, but if your weight fluctuates or your routine changes, new fat cells can develop. Maintenance sessions every 3–6 months can help maintain muscle tone and prevent fat from creeping back.
7. Support Skin Health
If you’re concerned about skin laxity along with fat or muscle tone, speak to your practitioner about combining Emsculpt Neo with skin-tightening treatments, such as Morpheus8, radiofrequency facials, or HIFU. These can further contour the area and enhance results.
When Will You See Results?
Some people notice a difference as early as 2 weeks after their final session, though full results usually develop over 6–12 weeks. Fat loss continues as your body eliminates damaged fat cells, and muscle tone improves with time and movement.
How to Maximise Emsculpt Neo Results
To get the most from your Emsculpt Neo journey, focus on hydration, nutrition, movement, and consistency. It’s a powerful treatment — but like any body contouring solution, it works best when paired with a healthy lifestyle and a proactive approach to maintenance.
