Want more muscles & less fat? Emsculpt NEO is the answer to your prayers!

If you want to enhance your physique and fitness with an non-invasive, cutting edge treatment, Emsculpt NEO  at MD Wellness Solutions in Surrey, British Columbia is the solution for you. Dr. Shelin Tkatch and her team offer this innovative procedure designed to sculpt and tone your body.

What is Emsculpt NEO?

Emsculpt NEO is a non-surgical body contouring treatment that combines radiofrequency and high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to build muscle and reduce fat. Emsculpt NEO is the only device available that gives you BOTH fat reduction and muscle building in a single treatment. These non-invasive treatments strengthen and tone muscle and destroy fat. The ability to target specific muscle groups and collections of body fat is a break-through in medical science. Medical research has demonstrated that a series of six 30-minute treatments results in an average gain of 25% more muscle and 30% less fat. More muscle and less fat equals more self-confidence, more endurance, and bigger gains. Safe, effective, non-surgical body contouring is here and its name is Emsculpt NEO.

What’s the difference between Emsculpt and Emsculpt NEO?

Emsculpt is the original muscle-building technology introduced by equipment manufacturer BTL Aesthetics in 2018. It uses only HIFEM technology for good results of 16% muscle gain and 19% fat loss. Emsculpt NEO is BTL’s latest advance in body contouring technology and utilizes synchronized radiofrequency and HIFEM technology during a single treatment. The magnetic coil in Emsculpt NEO is 20% stronger than the original Emsculpt. The result is a jaw-dropping average gain of 25% muscle and 30% loss of fat in the treated area. Why waste your time and money with anything less than the most effective technology available? We only offer you the best, because that’s what you deserve.

How does Emsculpt NEO work?

Emsculpt NEO works by delivering radiofrequency heat to fat and high-intensity electromagnetic pulses to targeted muscle groups. The heat warms the muscles and causes destruction of fat cells. The electromagnetic pulses induce supramaximal muscle contractions that are more intense than what can be achieved voluntarily during a workout. The heat and super intense muscle contractions enhance muscle tone and shape your body without surgery. Emsculpt NEO is FDA and Health Canada approved for safe and effective body contouring.

What does Emsculpt NEO treatment feel like?

Emsculpt NEO is an intense yet comfortable treatment that requires no special preparation. It is a zero downtime treatment. Treatments take just 30 minutes, and you can zen out and enjoy a little You-time. The first four minutes of treatment are spent warming the muscles and fat, resulting in fat cell destruction. The HIFEM technology then gets to work creating 24,000 intense but painless muscle contractions. You will feel like you got a great workout without breaking a sweat. The result is lean, toned muscles that are more visible, and less jiggly fat. As you feel stronger and leaner, you will also feel your confidence soar.

What areas can be treated with Emsculpt NEO?

Emsculpt NEO is versatile and can treat several areas of the body, including:

  • Abdomen: For improved muscle definition and reduced fat
  • Buttocks: To enhance muscle tone and create a desirable curve
  • Thighs: For a firmer and more sculpted appearance
  • Arms: To build muscle and reduce bat-wing appearance

What are the benefits of Emsculpt NEO?

  • Non-invasive: No surgery, needles or downtime
  • Muscle Building: Enhances muscle tone and strength in the treated areas
  • Fat Reduction: Targets and reduces stubborn fat deposits
  • Quick Treatment: Each session typically lasts 30 minutes
  • Minimal Discomfort: Most patients are able to easily tolerate the treatments, and some say it’s their favourite workout!

How many Emsculpt NEO sessions are recommended?

The number of Emsculpt NEO sessions needed vary greatly based on baseline muscle definition and fat deposits present, along with individual goals. Typically, in our experience at MD Wellness Solutions, clients need a minimum of 10 sessions per area treated. Treatments are spaced 5-10 days apart for optimal results. Dr. Tkatch will develop a personalized treatment plan based on your needs and desired outcomes.

What can I expect after an Emsculpt NEO treatment?

After an Emsculpt NEO treatment, you may experience mild muscle awareness, similar to the feeling after an intense workout. This is normal and will subside in a few days. There is no downtime and no need for specific after care, other than eating nutritiously and staying hydrated. You will start to feel stronger within a few weeks of starting treatments.  Visible results will become apparent for most by the end of your series. Most of our patients report increased endurance and strength during their workouts within the treatment series.

Are there any side effects?

Emsculpt NEO is generally safe and well-tolerated. The most common side effects are temporary muscle soreness and slight redness in the treated area. These effects are typically mild and resolve shortly after the treatment. The best side effect of Emsculpt NEO treatment is stronger muscles and less fat!

Am I a candidate for Emsculpt NEO?

If you want more lean muscle and less body fat, you are likely a candidate. Ideal candidates for Emsculpt NEO are close to their ideal body weight but have specific areas of stubborn fat or muscle weakness. While it is not a weight loss solution, unlike other body contouring technologies with low BMI restrictions, Emsculpt NEO can be used up to a BMI of 35. Whether you are a fitness buff who just can’t lose that layer of fat over your six-pack, or someone who’s lifestyle could use some improvement, you are likely a good candidate. Adults of all ages, regardless of fitness level, can benefit from Emsculpt NEO treatments.

Medical contraindications to treatment include, but are not limited to, patients with implanted devices like pacemakers, hip replacements, and copper IUDs. Dr. Tkatch will assess your suitability for Emsculpt NEO during your consultation.

Can I get the same results as Emsculpt NEO by working out more?

In a word, no. HIFEM stimulates 100% of the muscle belly, which is not possible during normal exercise. It bypasses the limitations our brains place on our muscles and creates 24,000 full muscle contractions in 30 minutes. The supraphysiological stress placed on the muscle causes the muscle fibres to adapt rapidly and hypertrophy, leading to better muscle definition and function.

What are some of the other benefits of Emsculpt NEO treatments?

Having stronger core muscles reduces back pain and improves your endurance and comfort during all your activities. Stronger gluteal (butt) muscles can reduce back, hip and knee pain. Stronger muscles allow you to push yourself harder during athletic training and complete more advanced workouts. Run faster, cycle harder, ski longer or just enjoy playing with your grandkids without tiring out.

Can Emsculpt NEO Be Part of a Pre-hab or Rehab program?

Yes! Dr. Tkatch and MD Wellness Solutions are delighted to be chose to be among the first medical practices chosen by BTL to introduce the new Functional training protocols in 2025. Functional protocols are used to help strengthen the muscles and ligaments surrounding joints that are limited in function by pain or restricted motion. Orthopedics research has shown that strengthening the muscles and ligaments surrounding affected joints allows for quicker recovery and better surgical outcomes. Whether you have frozen shoulder, hip, knee or back pain, Emsculpt NEO can be an important part of your recovery and strengthening program.

What areas of my body can I treat with Emsculpt NEO?

The abdomen, buttocks, arms, and legs are easily and safely treated. Unlike CoolSculpting and other body contouring treatments, Emsculpt NEO delivers both less fat AND more lean, toned muscles in a single treatment.

How does Emsculpt NEO compare to Liposuction?

Liposuction is a surgical procedure performed by a plastic surgeon. It requires anesthesia, carries surgical risk, and has significant downtime. Liposuction is a very expensive procedure. Liposuction gives great spot reduction of fat, but can’t build muscle. Emsculpt NEO is a non-invasive, 30-minute painless treatment with no downtime. It is relatively economical and gives wonderful results in reducing both fat and  building muscle.

Can Emsculpt NEO help my Diastasis Recti?

Diastasis Recti is the medical term to describe the separation of abdominal muscles. Diastasis Recti can follow pregnancy, abdominal surgery, or just aging. The abdominal pooch that results from separated abdominal muscles can be treated with the muscle-building effect of Emsculpt NEO. Emsculpt NEO is the only device-based treatment clinically proven to reduce Diastasis Recti.

How Long Emsculpt NEO Results Last?

During your consultation Dr. Tkatch will recommend the anticipated number of Emsculpt NEO treatments you will need to obtain a noticeable improvement in muscle definition and decrease in visible fat. The number of treatments required are very individual and range from 10 to 20, each scheduled five to ten days apart. Early improvements in functional strength are usually noticeable after the first few treatments.

Full visual benefits of the increased muscle and decreased fat will be seen at three months after your last treatment. Fat reduction from Emsculpt NEO is permanent as the fat cells are destroyed. You can however, make new fat cells if nutrition and exercise are not optimal.  And just like the gym, the muscle improvements require maintenance. Maintenance of muscle and strength gains can be had at the gym, or in clinic.  We recommend a single Emsculpt NEO re-treatment every three months. Think of us as your medical gym; membership optional.

How much do Emsculpt NEO treatments cost?

The cost of your Emsculpt NEO treatments will depend on the number of areas you want to treat and the number of treatments per area that you need. No two bodies are alike and each Emsculpt NEO package is custom designed, with package costs starting at $4,000.

Why did Dr. Tkatch choose Emsculpt NEO for her practice?

Efficacy and safety. Dr. Tkatch values high-quality scientific research when evaluating technology for her practice. With over 15 clinical studies including MRI, CT, ultrasound and tissue biopsy evaluations, Emsculpt NEO has been demonstrated to be the world’s first and only device that both strengthens muscles and destroys fat. It was a clear choice for MD Wellness Solutions.
