MY EMSCULPT NEO EXPERIENCE & DETAILS

Wow… I almost can’t believe I am doing this, LOL. If you have followed me the last 8 years or so of blogging you probably didn’t expect a blog post with a bunch of photos of my stomach BUT… I felt like this had to be done. I feel like I am really bearing it all! 😅 So, by now you are probably already aware that I did something called ‘Emsculpt NEO’. This is a breakthrough in non-invasive body shaping – literally a 30 minute session with no pain that reduces fat and builds muscle. It works by delivering heat and magnetic energy which results in more fat reduction AND more muscle growth. I initially heard about the procedure via Instagram. I had a girlfriend who is very fit and does fitness for a living – she did a round and was posting about it. Coincidentally, I received an e-mail from a company asking if I’d be willing to try out 4 rounds and share my results. Initially, I was hesitant because I’m not one to show a lot of skin however, I do know we ALL love knowing the tea on new innovations out there! After having Sophia in my 30s and having had c-sections and LARGE babies [Luke was 9.5lbs!!], my stomach never fully  returned to the pre-baby state which is totally fine and to be expected. However, when I realized there was a procedure to target those tricky areas and more or less ‘tailor’ to those areas – my interest was piqued.

Keep in mind, I am at a weight I am happy with & as you can see in my before and afters [at the end of the post] my stomach has some shape/definition but there are a few spots that just never seem to return to normal [ahem diastasis recti👀]. Prior to agreeing to give Emsculpt NEO a try, I actually asked all of our doctors friends and more specifically our friends in the cosmetic medical field what they knew on Emsculpt and everyone raved about it so I decided I’d give it a try. So… here’s the full review…

Here is a quick list of ‘facts’ on how Emsculpt NEO works and what all it does:

• Emsculpt Neo treats the buttocks, abdomen, lateral abdomen, biceps & triceps, front thighs, inner thighs, back thighs, saddlebags, and calves.
• Emsculpt Neo is the world’s first and only technology that uses Radio frequency and HIFEM+(high intensity focused electromagnetic field) to eliminate fat and build muscle non-invasively.
• Emsculpt Neo reduces fat by 30% and increases muscle by 25% on average.
• Four 30-minute Emsculpt Neo sessions roughly equal 12-16 weeks of HIIT Training.
• Emsculpt Neo showed consistency in eliminating fat and/or building muscle in seven latest clinical studies. Moreover, 30+ scientific publications make HIFEM the most intensively researched body contouring technology since its introduction in 2018.
• Emsculpt Neo treatments need to be scheduled 5-10 days apart.
• There is no downtime- no pain. [I did this one time per week during the month of July- and worked via the entire 30 minute session – no discomfort!]
• During the session, you have a fat breakdown, muscle warm up [I didn’t experience any soreness really & this helps to prevent being sore], supramaximal contractions [muscles in the treated area are contracted at intensities that are not achievable during routine exercise], and the fat cells are slowly removed from the body and strained muscle fibers imitate a growth process.

MY EXPERIENCE & THOUGHTS

So, here are my thoughts on Emsculpt NEO…

I LOVED IT. In fact, I loved it so much I purchased 4 sessions on my own when I finished my final abdomen one – I feel like that tells you something! I also purchased 4 sessions of Emtone for the cellulite on my legs. You can see in my before and afters that my stomach more or less looked slimmer as in there was less fat on top of the muscle on my stomach. You can see that the ‘curves’/’lines’ on of the muscle areas are more defined and/or sharper in the after imagery. You can see difference angles and that there is just a little more definition. Also! Just want to point out that the month of July was the Nordstrom Sale which is when I am on my laptop the most doing a lot of editing, linking, storying, etc more than ever. I guess what I am saying is – I gave it a true run considering that I was not able to go on any walks or do any workouts during that month! When I saw my before and after photos I was like ‘oh wow’ – because it was a gradual change. You don’t just wake up with definition after a single session. But after a couple of sessions you kind of notice some change. I saw my mom after my third session and she was like “EMILY!!! I was skeptic about that but WOW!” because the change became more obvious. I had done so much research prior to doing this and I had seen before and after photos and I did believe it would work but I didn’t expect it to be quite this good! I always worry that something is just being hyped up but this actually lived up to the hype. As far as pain, I felt like it was painless. It does take a little getting used to considering it more or less contracts your muscles but you can change intensity if needed. I never went up to 100 on my abdomen but I did try to always keep it at a high enough number that was not just too easy but not painful by any means – and I still got great results.

Anyway, if you live in Tulsa, I went to Emerge Integrative Medicine to do my 4 sessions. They do offer a complimentary consultation but if you mention my name [Emily] you will receive $1,000 off an Emsculpt Neo package! The consultation is to determine medical condition, areas they’d like treated to recommend how many treatments are needed to get the results they’re after. Patients can call or text (918) 922-9122 to schedule your complimentary consultation. I thought it was super generous of them to offer this btw – this was not expected but I was thrilled they offered this!
