Why patients come in for EMSCULPT NEO

  • Build + burn at once

    Average 25% muscle growth and 30% fat reduction in the treated area across BTL clinical data.

  • 30 minutes per session

    Four sessions, 5–10 days apart, scheduled around your week. Zero downtime.

  • Non-invasive

    No surgery, no needles, no anesthesia. The only patented technology that treats fat and muscle together.

  • Sculpting or function

    Two protocol paths: aesthetic body contouring, or rehabilitation, recovery, and chronic pain relief.

The technology

HIFEM® muscle contractions, synchronized with RF heating.

HIFEM® + RF

EMSCULPT NEO combines two distinct energies in the same applicator, applied at the same time. HIFEM® (high-intensity focused electromagnetic) technology induces thousands of supramaximal muscle contractions far beyond what voluntary exercise can produce. Synchronized radiofrequency (RF) heats the underlying fat layer, triggering noninvasive lipolysis — the breakdown of fat cells.

The combination is what makes EMSCULPT NEO unique. Most non-invasive body-contouring devices target either fat OR muscle. EMSCULPT NEO is the only FDA-cleared patented technology that addresses both in the same 30-minute session, on the same treatment area, with no surgery, no needles, and no recovery time.

What a session looks like

Lay back, two energies do the work, return to your day.

  1. 01

    Before

    Stay well-hydrated leading up to your session. Wear loose, comfortable clothing — the applicator goes directly on skin, so we'll need access to the treatment area. Shave or trim hair in the area beforehand. Remove all metallic accessories and electronic devices. Skin is wiped with alcohol to remove any moisture, perfume, or moisturizer.

  2. 02

    During

    You lay down. Applicators are positioned on the treatment area for about 30 minutes. You'll feel intense muscle contractions and a warming sensation — patients describe it as comparable to a hot stone massage. The intensity is real, but it should never be painful. If anything is uncomfortable, the settings are adjusted on the spot.

  3. 03

    Targets

    Up to ten body areas can be treated: abdomen, buttocks, flanks, front thighs, back thighs, inner thighs, outer thighs, arms, calves, and back. The treatment cannot be applied over the head, neck, spinal cord, heart, or testes, and never over clothing or scar tissue.

  4. 04

    After

    No recovery time. You return to driving, work, and your full day immediately. Most patients complete four sessions, 5–10 days apart. Results are evaluated at three months after the final session, as muscle growth and fat reduction continue to develop over that window.

Who EMSCULPT NEO is for

FDA-cleared scope, plain English.

A full patient treatment record and informed-consent conversation with Dr. Libreros precedes any EMSCULPT NEO treatment. The list above summarizes the BTL Sample Patient Treatment Record — the complete document and a personal discussion are part of your evaluation visit. EMSCULPT NEO is intended to be used under continued physician supervision.

What patients describe

Intense muscle work, real results, no downtime.

  • “

    It feels intense — like an extreme workout you didn't have to show up for. Warm, not painful. I went back to work right after.

  • “

    I came in for my back pain after surgery, not for body work. The functional wellness protocol gave me range of motion back I hadn't had in two years.

  • “

    I was skeptical that 30 minutes could do anything. Four sessions in, my abdomen and arms looked like I'd been training for months.

Frequently asked

Honest answers to what patients ask first.

What is EMSCULPT NEO actually doing?

Two energies, one applicator, one session. HIFEM® causes thousands of supramaximal muscle contractions far beyond what voluntary exercise can produce. Synchronized RF heats the fat layer, triggering noninvasive lipolysis. The result is muscle growth and fat reduction in the same treated area, at the same time.

Will I lose weight?

No. EMSCULPT NEO is not a weight-loss procedure. It reduces fat and builds muscle in the treated area — it does not change overall body weight. If weight is your concern, ask Dr. Libreros about the medically supervised weight-loss and GLP-1 programs available alongside this.

How many sessions do I need?

Most patients complete four 30-minute sessions, scheduled 5 to 10 days apart. Some protocols call for the HIFEM Classic preset with sessions 2 to 3 days apart. Results are evaluated at three months after the final session because muscle growth and fat reduction continue to develop over that window. Additional sessions may be recommended depending on your goals.

What does it feel like?

Intense muscle contractions and a warming sensation that patients describe as comparable to a hot stone massage. The intensity is genuine, but the therapy should never be painful. If anything is uncomfortable, settings are adjusted on the spot.

What areas can be treated?

Up to ten body areas: abdomen, buttocks, flanks, front thighs, back thighs, inner thighs, outer thighs, arms, calves, and back. Treatment cannot be applied over the head, neck, spinal cord, heart, or testes, and never over clothing or scar tissue.

How does this compare to liposuction?

EMSCULPT NEO is completely non-invasive — no surgery, no needles, no anesthesia, no downtime. Liposuction is a surgical fat removal procedure with its own recovery and risk profile. EMSCULPT NEO also builds muscle, which liposuction does not. They are different treatments addressing different goals. Dr. Libreros can help you decide which approach fits.

Can EMSCULPT NEO help with pain or recovery?

Yes — that's the 'Function' protocol path. EMSCULPT NEO is FDA-cleared for muscle re-education, relaxation of muscle spasms, prevention of disuse atrophy, increasing local blood circulation, maintaining range of motion, and stimulation of peripheral nerves for relief of chronic intractable pain, post-traumatic pain, post-surgical pain, and chronic painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy in the lower extremities. This pathway is delivered under direct physician supervision.

What about BMI? Am I eligible?

EMSCULPT NEO is cleared for body sculpting in patients with BMI up to 35. For upper-arm lipolysis specifically, the limit is BMI 30 and under, with skin types II and III. Skin type also affects which areas can be treated — flank lipolysis is limited to skin types I–IV; abdomen and thighs cover skin types I–VI.

Will my insurance cover it?

Aesthetic body-sculpting treatments are typically not covered by insurance. Functional-wellness protocols delivered under physician supervision for specific medical indications (chronic pain, diabetic peripheral neuropathy, post-surgical recovery) may have different coverage considerations. We help you understand what your specific plan covers during your consultation. Self-pay and financing options are available.

Where is treatment delivered?

At Neuromag Institute, 4914 N. Armenia Ave, Tampa, FL 33603. We see patients from across the Tampa metro — Tampa, Clearwater, Palm Harbor, Lutz, and St. Petersburg.
